Etherington finds top gear

Matthew Etherington reckons a rigorous training regime has seen him find the form of his life.
The Stoke winger has been virtually unplayable at times over recent weeks, with a string of eye-catching displays firing him into England reckoning.
The 29-year-old admits that his confidence is soaring at the moment, with the off-field troubles of his past left behind.
He sees no reason why he cannot maintain those high standards and is determined to help the Potters end their December hoodoo - with Tony Pulis' men having failed to win a Premier League fixture in the final month of the year since returning to the top flight in 2008.
He said: "I think I'm up there with the best form of my career and that's to do with my fitness.
"I feel I can do 90 minutes now and I feel very fit. We work hard in training, the sessions are very intense and I'm benefiting from it.
"I'm going into games feeling great, confident and fit. It can only help you. You have to make the most of it when you are playing well.
"Our form lately has been good, we've won three and drawn twice in our last five games.
"Nothing changes for us in December and we don't even look at statistics like that."
