LONDON -- West Ham continued its unstable start to life at the Olympic Stadium as Stoke came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw in the English Premier League on Saturday.Crowd trouble has marred the clubs summer move to the 2012 Olympic venue, but it was on-field problems that left home fans frustrated this time.Extra security measures contained any drama off the field, however the visitors resilience ensured it wasnt a perfect afternoon for West Ham.Slaven Bilics side looked to be on its way to victory when Michail Antonios header was deflected into his own net by Stokes Glenn Whelan in the 65th.But a goalkeeping error from Adrian allowed Stoke back into the game 10 minutes later.The West Ham stopper came needlessly charging off his line, allowing Jonathan Walters to center for Bojan Krkic to volley into an empty net.A switch to a 3-4-3 formation has caused an upturn in West Hams results and defensive performances, but also a lack of potency in attack -- its failed to score more than once in its last six Premier League fixtures.It wasnt a particularly nice game of football, neither team deserved to lose or win, Bilic saidToday we saw it (the formation) wasnt enough, thats why we put Antonio and (Ashley) Fletcher up front and it gave us an advantage.Stoke could be forgiven for its limited production in attack, with chief creators Marko Arnautovic and Xherdan Shaqiri absent through suspension and injury.Yet manager Mark Hughes believed his side blew it.Maybe we feel we merited the full three points, he said. I thought we were very much in control in terms of chances created.Bilic pushed Antonio into a more advanced position as he introduced Edimilson Fernandes, and Fletcher and was rewarded when his aerial prowess forced the opener.Hughes responded by sending on Peter Crouch and Krkic, and it took the latter just four minutes to make an impact.Both sides climbed one position in the standings, West Ham to 16th and Stoke to 11th after extending its unbeaten run to six league games. Both sides could drop lower depending on Sundays results. . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams. .

The experienced trio are named alongside 20-year-old debutant Harry Glover, who joined the England Sevens academy programme from Wasps last year.It is a long-awaited return for Hayter, who has been out since July with an ACL injury while Burgess missed the last two tournaments with injury and Dan Norton took time out to be with his newborn son. Everyone was very proud of the effort the guys put in for the last two tournaments, said head coach Simon Amor told EnglandRugby.comUnfortunately in the process we lost key players including Dan Bibby, who was on red hot form in Wellington, and then Alex Davis who again has been outstanding in both attack and defence.They will be out for a few tournaments now but it is great to be able to bring back Phil, Dan and Charlie and to start building their game time again.
