Stoke were the better team last night against Newcastle and were unlucky to have to go back to St James' for a replay. But for me Sam Allardyce provided proof that he's not making the right decisions in making Alan Smith captain. This is a guy who gives 100% but who doesn't have anything to make him standout from the average Premier League player - it implies a team who want to battle it out in the bottom quarter of the table, rather than a team pushing for Europe. And that's what Allardyce has got.7 January 2008
