Stoke are a joke club - just long balls and long throws. Not even close to being football. Add their dirty tactics and its clear that mangers like Pullis need to be hounded out of football.
I hate it when people call a long game or a game where teams try to score from set pieces "not football". If every team tried to play what you seem to think "football" is (i.e. the "pretty" way) then we'd have a boring league where the small clubs got beaten every time. If they're successful in getting the ball in the net legally, then they're playing football. Comments like yours just sound like sour grapes at not being able to handle such a tactic.
