there but all in all I cant complain

Its hard to know what to make of Stoke City to this point.Are they the club that went winless through their opening seven Premier League fixtures and spent a considerable amount of time at the foot of the table? Or the one that recently enjoyed a six-match unbeaten stretch over all competitions?Its uncertain which team will show up Saturday against Burnley at bet365 Stadium.Stoke (4-4-5) have largely been seen as one of the most unflashy clubs in the Premier League, known for their direct style of play with bruising target forwards like Peter Crouch. Manager Mark Hughes has done an admirable job over the past few seasons in an effort to bring some style to the pitch by signing highly-skilled players like Marko Arnautovic, Xherdan Shaqiri, Wilfried Bony, Bojan Krkic and Mame Diouf.With that level of talent in the squad, its hard to fathom the idea that the Potters have struggled in the final third, but the numbers dont lie. They have scored just 14 goals in 13 matches while allowing 19.However, Stoke head into this clash with some confidence after last weeks 1-0 win over Watford at Vicarage Road. A 29th-minute own goal by Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes stood up.We played well considering we had a few key players out, but the guys who came in were brilliant and have certainly given the manager a headache for the next game, midfielder Charlie Adam told the clubs official website.Burnley (4-5-2), meanwhile, have put in some good performances and done well enough to avoid the relegation zone to this point while sitting in 13th place.Each of their wins have come at Turf Moor, however. Sean Dyches squad is also hoping to get back to get back on track after consecutive defeats to West Bromwich Albion and Manchester City.After being completely dismantled by West Brom, Burnley responded nicely against City, taking the lead through a 14th-minute goal from Dean Marney before Sergio Aguero hit for a brace in the 2-1 defeat.Despite the loss, Dyche liked his clubs resolve.I was really pleased with the performance, other than the result, and that was a great marker, he said. We know we have to take that on the road, but today I was delighted and equally so with the crowds reaction.They know its not easy playing this type of club, but they stuck with the lads throughout with no disappointments. They were right behind us and thats an important factor going forwards.Since beating Burnley 2-0 in their first ever Premier League meeting in 2009, Stoke are winless in the last three (two draws, one loss).The Clarets have won just one of their last seven league games against Stoke City, though this was away at Stoke in November 2014.KZ Okpala Jersey .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play. Glen Rice Heat Jersey .2 billion agreement with Rogers Communications for the leagues broadcast and multimedia rights. https://www.heatlockerroom.com/Shaquille-Oneal-City-Edition-Jersey/ . Batiste, who briefly signed with the Eskimos in 2006, has spent time with several NFL teams including the Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Redskins. Udonis Haslem Heat Jersey . The head of USA Boxing came out swinging Tuesday with an open letter to Tyson -- a former Olympic hopeful himself -- that accuses the former heavyweight champion of trying to poach fighters who might be candidates for the U. Dion Waiters Jersey . The Barrie Colts defenceman, who impressed many with his play for Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championship, is the top-ranked skater in the February rankings. He has 19 goals and 24 assists for 43 points in 45 games with the Colts this season.Englands Tyrrell Hatton hailed the best round of his career after equalling the course record at St. Andrews to take control of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.Hatton carded 10 birdies in a flawless 62 on the Old Course and will take a three-shot lead over compatriot Ross Fisher into Sundays final round at the same venue, one of three used for the pro-am event.The world No.53 raced to the turn in 30 and picked up further shots on the 10th, 14th, 17th and 18th to finish 17 under par in pursuit of his first European Tour title.(Its) quite clearly the best round Ive ever had. Ive never got to double digits before either so Im really pleased with that, said the 24-year-old, who was fifth in the Open at Royal Troon and 10th in the US PGA Championship at Baltusrol.I think my bad shots, I didnt really get punished for them. I missed them in good spots and I just putted really well. If you are holing putts, youre always going to shoot a decent score.I think the putt on 17 was probably the best putt I holed today, 25 feet. But the majority of them were around six to 15 feet and if you keep knocking them in, its certainly good for confidence.Obviously Id love to get a win and Ill try my best tomorrow. Its been a really consistent year and hopefully I can have a good finish to the year as well.I went out to the States [after the US PGA] because I was close to getting a PGA Tour card, but that didnt work out and Im happy to be playing back in Europe.Halfway leader Fisher, who lost a playoff for the Porsche European Open a fortnight ago, carded a 69 at Carnouustie to finish 14 under, with South Africas Richard Sterne and Swedens Joakim Lagergren a shot further back.ddddddddddddou never know what youre going to get when you turn up here, Fisher said. We were all hoping for Car-nicety and not Car-nasty. We got it. It was a beautiful day to play this place.It was still tricky out there. It was very firm, very fiery, but overall I felt pretty pleased with the round. There were a couple of scrappy shots. Maybe left a couple of putts out there but all in all I cant complain. To shoot in the 60s for the third day running, Im obviously very, very pleased.Hopefully Ill be drawn with Tyrrell [on Sunday], because were pretty good friends. Weve spent quite a few evenings together for dinner and stuff.Im sure well go out there and have some fun and put on some good golf for the public and you know, whether its me, him, someone else, theres going to be a worthy winner come tomorrow afternoon.Former world No.1 Martin Kaymer is five shots off the lead after a 65 on the Old Course, but was more concerned with making the cut in the team event with his father Horst.I was quite a few shots behind, so the main goal was to make the cut with my father today, Kaymer said. I know how hard hes trying and we played the last few years and we always came one shot short.He never experienced the final round at St. Andrews, so I think the most important thing is that we have a good time out there as a family.
