They lost 3-0 to Chelsea last week. Even if you take that out they still don't have three clean sheets in a row.

Wilson will miss the Italy game due to brother's wedding but makes himself available for other three; speaks on GAA roots.

Wilson linked with Palace.
'Arry thinks Wilson is the man to replace Dunne. He scares me when he mentions O'Neill might play hoof ball. Please God, no!

I won't believe it until I see photographic/video evidence of 'Arry hanging out his jeep window with gob open!
You don't want to be behind Harry in the car park do you!!
Great to see Marc Wilson is being rewarded for his showing at centre-half last season; he starts there today beside Shawcross with Robert Huth back from injury and on the bench.
Stephen Ireland and Glenn Whelan also starting.
Supposedly at fault for Sunderland's second; lost his man in the box and left him completely unmarked.
Sent off for the second time this season.
Zero has suddenly jinxed everyone
Mark Hughes wants Marc Wilson & Jon Walters signed up to long-term contracts at Stoke.

Amazing that he was starting ahead of Shane Long when he wasn't near fully match fit. Imagine that. A 32 year old in his first competitive start and a crocked 31 year old start up front against Scotland in Dublin. How could it have went wrong?Walters also revealed he is feeling fit and free of injury after a summer break which helped him recover from a niggling knee injury.
"It was probably a difficult season last year with my knee which has been a bit sore throughout the whole time," said Walters.
"If I had taken a break it would have gone but I didn't, I left it until the summer.
"It was a bit of a tendon thing so it was a case of loading it up every week to play games - and sometimes two games every week with training, so having that four-week break after the internationals has settled it right down.
Hopefully that is one thing that won't happen again. Starting players (McGeady, Walters) when they clearly aren't fully fit.
Amazing how you went from 'sore' to 'wasn't near fully match fit' to 'crocked' in the space of a couple of sentences.
Most players will admit to rarely starting a game completely free of all injuries.
I don't blame Walters. I think it's up to the manager at the end of the day. I'm particularly annoyed because when the season started he was playing with niggling injuries and at season's end he was still playing with niggling injuries. I think it was noticeable that when he played for Ireland he was not fully fit, and to make matters worse he was left on for 90 minutes at the end of every game.
Would have been a good result apart form the Coutinho goal, he had a shot earlier and it was so far off target it was unbelievable.
Didn't seem to knock his confidence though, the next shot was as good as the previous one was bad.
Great to see Wilson get a decent amount of game time on Saturday, and again last night. He came on after nine minutes against Watford after Cameron got injured, just a pity his return coincided with such a poor result for them. He tucked away his penalty well last night too.
Whelan (assist), Walters (goal) and Wilson (penalty)! Productive night for the three W's. Probably just as well for Stoke that they stuck with Butland for the League Cup also seeing as saving penalties isn't Given's forté!
