You do play football. Clearly. Or else you wouldn't be in the Football League. What I'm saying is, that Stoke play absolute ****e, route one football that's dire to watch. Same every time, dirty, cheating players and a Manager who clearly has no intention of attractive football.
You are in the Premier League, and it's mainly due to Stoke scoring from Delap's throw-ins in both your Promotion Season and the First Season up there. You've managed to sign some bigger players like Crouch now so you don't have to live off throw-ins anymore. You'll soon be back down here. Or we'll be up there. Only a matter of time...
