What an ignorant tosser. Typical Stoke hating journalist The reason other sides don't go to a long throw is because Rory is unique. I bet there are tons of guys around the country who can throw it as far as Rory but no-one has the trajectory he has, that's the reason why we use it. To think of how many people are unemployed in this country and this guy gets paid to produce crap like this. How depressing. A long throw is still our best route to goal? That proves he knows nothing about us. Anyone with half a football brain will know Matty and Jermaine are much more threatening than Rory. We are not Barcelona, we are not Arsenal but no Stoke fan claims to be. We are Stoke, like it or lump it we are here, it has worked for us. It has worked so far for Blackpool, they haven't stayed up yet. Swindon, Derby, West Brom all tried playing through sides and got embarrassed. So to sum up: Shut up Brian Reade.
