From yesterday's Guardian:
Nurse, it’s happening again! Stoke City have suffered a relapse of the sickly form that beset them at the start and end of last season and Mark Hughes needs to find an effective treatment quickly. Otherwise his ears will be assailed anew by the three little words that he least wants to hear: Queens Park Rangers.
Over the past three seasons Hughes has made a decent fist of rebuilding a managerial reputation that lay in ruins in November 2012, when he was dismissed after 10 months as QPR manager with his blinged-up team bottom of the league and winless after 12 matches of the season. That side was one of the most error-prone, unbalanced and ####less seen in the top flight – and at times on Saturday, as well as on an alarming number of previous times this year, Stoke looked a lot like them. Which made them a pleasure to play against, as Tottenham Hotspur demonstrated by swaggering to a repeat of the 4-0 victory they enjoyed at the same ground in April.
