The most compelling storyline in the Premier League at the moment is not the title race. It's not the relegation battle, with teams that looked dead showing life and some that seemed safe now circling the drain. It's not even whoever Jose Mourinho is arguing with this week.
None of those. The most interesting -- funniest, least dignified, most entertaining, whatever you like -- tale in English football is the squabble between West Brom and Stoke. Usually, clubs prefer to keep their spats relatively quiet and out of the public domain, but over the last few weeks these two Midlands rivals have done anything but.
