A short time ago Stoke fan site "PickStoke" tweeted a rumour that Irish midfielder Glenn Whelan had put a pig's head in the locker of team mate Kenwyne Jones
Unconfirmed: G. Whelan placed a pigs head in K.Jones' locker and Jones has retaliated by smashing Whelan's car window. #scfc

This picture posted by US midfielder Brek Shea on instagram seems to back that up.

Earlier this week Whelan was chief suspect for the heinous crime of egging Michael Owen's car. The Dubliner seems to love a prank but not everyone seems happy. Here's how Kenwyn Jones' partner feels;
Big men acting like kids a pigs head is not a prank its just disgusting!!!!! Wtf??? I don't get how was that sup 2 be funny!!!! Really???

In reply to the 'banter' defence;

It just takes a minute to be sensitive to someone's beliefs no one says u can't have a sense of humour but let it be a joke! This wasn't!

We look forward Tony Pulis's reaction.
h/t to Barry O'Connor for the reaction of Jones' partner
UPDATE: It appears Kenwyne Jones' measured reaction to the Whelan prank was to put a brick through Glenn Whelan's car. In the meantime, Stoke have released the following statement:
The Club takes seriously reports of an incident at our Training Ground this afternoon. A full internal investigation will be carried out and those responsible for any unacceptable behaviour will be dealt with in accordance with the Club’s disciplinary procedures.
