    Watched you guys lose 2-0 to a weakened Houston Dynamo team last night, admittedly in stupidly hot and humid conditions.

    Good luck, I've a feeling you might need it.

    Not that bothered by this, just a good way for the new manager to get a feel of players, positions, strengths and any weak areas that need addressing.

    Man utd have lost 2 out of 3, spurs lost to sunderland 3-1 and man city only won 1-0.
    Preseason is nothing to go by.

    Not a brilliant result, but pre season never means much really. Wish I could have watched it though, couldn't find a stream that'd work.

    When will Begovic learn to position himself correctly for free kicks?

    Absolutely right about Begovic. Remember the freekick at Swansea?

    Result means nothing as yet

    SiS, according to the Daily Mail website, this was the line up. I think all the subs came on second half.

    Stoke City: Begovic, Cameron, Shawcross, Huth, Pieters, Kightly, Adam, Nzonzi, Walters, Jerome, Crouch.

    Subs: Butland, Shotton, Wilkinson, Muniesa, Whelan, Wilson, Palacios, Etherington, Cuvelier, Jones, Keane.

    Doesn't say much in their report, but it is in full here.

    And 2 minutes or so of highlights here.

    Thanks Sandor JJust wish Icould get sucha good stream for the Prem It may have been the heat but we looked way off the pace almost not interested

    It may be Shawx had beensubbed but did Huthy hold the trophy because he is now captain

    It must be that news gets distorted on the way to out here but I thought ****ton had gone to Watford weeks ago

    Finally best bit of the video was the cheer leader Could do with signing her

    pre season games mean absolutely nothing, and personally I thought it was a good free kick that beat bego, he hit it on 20 seconds (in the video) and it was in the back of the net on 21 seconds, 25-30 yards out with lots of curl on it too. I personally wont start criticising bego just yet as it was him that kept us in the prem last year.

    SiS, saw it mentioned in another thread r.e. Shotton/ Watford, but I think it ended up being a twitter "prank" by a fake journo. And the auto-modding is the swear filter, it been on here a while, at the very bottom of the page there is an option to view or filter out swearing. When you visit the site for the first time on a new device, or delete history/cookies it resets back to the default, which is no swearing.

    Swear all you like mate, that's what the filter is for!
    Something I've never understood myself. If you get offended by words, doesn't starring them out just make them more obvious?

    Shawcross is captain. Hughes has confirmed it. Have I missed something?
