English Premiership, Saturday, September 18, 2010

Britannia Stadium, Stoke
Stoke City 1 West Ham Utd. 1


Hurrah. I was back in New York for this one, and we actually led for 10 minutes, that man again, Scott Parker bundling in our goal from all of two yards—but we did not care. Robert Green, who you might remember had that howler against the USA in the World Cup, produced a dazzling save to keep up in the game, although every time he touches the ball it is as if the commentator wants him to fail, just for something to say on air. Green always looks miserable, which might be half the problem, as then these same commentators can say he has the look of a defeated man and other clichés. But that said, there is now one point on the board, although not surprisingly, we sit rock bottom of the division.
