Stoke City boss Mark Robins did "really well" to combine a "solid spine of players" with a "sprinkle of stardust" in the 3-1 win over QPR, according to Potterlytics podcast host George Weaver."It just looked like a working, normal football team on the pitch," he told BBC Radio Stoke's A Cold Wet Tuesday Night podcast."Then you add into that the sprinkle of stardust in players like [Million] Manhoef who was absolutely fantastic all game."His most dangerous self, back to running at people, back to making problems, a really dangerous delivery and a good shot on him as always."You add that sprinkle of stardust to a normal functioning defensive six or so and you get a reasonable result at the end of it."I saw a Stoke side that put to bed what was in front of them."Weaver joins presenter Lucas Yeomans and supporter Ben Rowley to discuss the Potters' victory on Saturday, which leaves them four points above the relegation zone.

Harry Redknapp's £5m mansion burgled by yobs with hammer as jewellery stolen

Harry Redknapp and wife Sandra were victims of a robbery at their £5m Dorset home (Image: Getty Images) Former Tottenham and QPR boss Harry Redknapp was the victim of a robbery after thieves broke into his family home in Dorset using sledgehammers and left with his wife Sandra's jewellery. Redknapp and Sandra, both 78, were not present in the £5million house when the gang entered by breaking down the front door, according to the Sun. The thieves are said to have made off with jewellery belonging to Sandra, plus "luxury items" after they surveyed the layout of the house on a property website. The house, located in the Sandbanks resort on the south coast, is currently up for sale, with the robbers possibly accessing key information about it on a Rightmove listing. It's claimed the criminals - all wearing masks - were caught on CCTV helping themselves to valuables in the property as a source said the robbery was "clearly organised". 'The raiders must have known the house was empty,' a source told the publication. 'They used lump hammers and a sledgehammer to smash the front door open.

It was clearly organised and they must have known the house was empty at the time.' A spokesman for Redknapp told The Sun: 'Harry doesn't want to make a fuss. There was no one in the house at the time and we don't want to comment on what was taken. It's a matter for the police.'

He started his coaching career with Bournemouth before spells with West Ham, Southampton and Tottenham - where he got the club into the Champions League and achieved two top four finishes. He also managed QPR for three seasons before his managerial career started to wind down, with the veteran boss saying he wanted to spend more time with his family and Sandra. Redknapp has been married to Sandra since 1968 and the pair had two children together - Mark and Jamie, who went on to become a successful football for Tottenham and Liverpool and is now a popular Sky Sports pundit.
