After 10 years in the top flight, Stoke City are relegated from the Premier League

Paul Lambert’s side lost at home to Palace.

STOKE CITY HAVE been relegated from the Premier League after crashing to a 2-1 defeat against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

It marks the end of a 10-year stay in the top flight.

Paul Lambert’s side are second bottom, three points from safety, with only one game remaining.

With fourth-bottom Swansea and third-bottom Southampton playing either other in midweek, it is impossible for Stoke to collect enough points to avoid slipping into the Championship.

Stoke have spent 10 seasons in the Premier League, but a run of 13 games without a victory ensured that streak will come to an end.

    Hughes could be the first manager to relegate two clubs in one season!

    @Clay Davis: Seeing as he is no longer at Stoke I don’t see how he could be deemed to have relegated them.
    I’m pretty sure Paul Lambert took Stoke down…

    No loss to the League anyway, horrible team, horrible club. You’re gonna 3 long term established PL clubs relegated this season whatever way you look at it.

    @Melody Art Gallery: what a quality manager. He can keep mediocre sides in the premiership.

    Moral high ground is always nice but Aaron Ramsey deserves to stick 2 fingers up to those Stoke fans on their way down

    @Bob Hook: And their fans were chanting “Aaron Ramsey…..he walks with a limp” today.

    See you later stoke, I’d say karma caught with the small number of fans who were jeering/chanting about the Munich disaster.
