Man City 0 : Stoke City 1

[Raptor]

Pretty embaressing for the blues lol

Stoke lifted themselves out of the drop zone with a battling victory over Man City, Aston Villa and Arsenal were held and Portsmouth's woes increased. The 10-man Potters overcame the first-half dismissal of Rory Delap to snatch all three points thanks to James Beattie's header.

Miserable

January signing Beattie scored a priceless winner for 10-man Stoke as miserable Manchester City were beaten at the Britannia Stadium. The Potters were at a numerical disadvantage from the 38th minute after Delap was shown a straight red card after clashing with Shaun Wright-Phillips. Delap was angered by Wright-Phillips' challenge on Danny Pugh and responded by bringing down the winger and then kicking the ball at him from point-blank range as he lay on the turf.

The England international responded by kicking out at the Stoke man, but escaped without any punishment from referee Martin Atkinson. Tony Pulis' men made light of their numerical disadvantage, with Beattie heading home superbly at the far post in added time at the end of the first half after Wayne Bridge misjudged Matthew Etherington's cross from the left.

still gotta admit its a tad embarresing all the stuff going on and what's to come?

as a united fan its really easy to not actually give a fook about other clubs as we are generally the centre of attention but I confess its like a soap opera and I seriously can't wait for the next episode
