I'm getting sick of reading in almost every report that mentions Bojan, in terms such as...the "diminutive Catalan" or the "little Spaniard" etc!!!
Bojan is 1.7 (m) tall, the same as:
Aaron Cresswell
Albert Moreno
Barry Bannan
David Silva
Jefferson Montero
Jesus Navas
Juan Mata
Leighton Bains
Raheem Sterling
Wayne Routledge
Even Philippe Coutinho is only 10mm taller.
Can't say I've heard any of the above referred to in the same terms regarding their stature.
Is it yet more media bias by stealth against Stoke!!
Just thinking....

The point is....the media keep referring to his size like it's some sort of detriment. I was merely pointing out that there are other fine players who are vertically challenged, so why pick on Bojan in particular!

I was merely pointing out that there are other fine players who are vertically challenged, so why pick on Bojan in particular! Wow, really? Where do you get that from? I don't think he's being 'picked on' at all. And being diminutive is hardly a trait that is solely attributed to Bojan; simply type 'diminutive Silva' into Google and you'll find plenty of articles referring to the Man City player in such terms. Usually in articles that are full of glowing praise for the spaniard. I think this one is a bit of a stretch mate, even for those Stokies that seem completely paranoid that The Media are out to get us somehow. |

How tall was (is?) Terry Henfleet? I bet he's a couple of cm smaller than anyone on that list.

How long did it take you to compile that list? If you live in Australia pal there is surely better things to do. |

I was merely pointing out that there are other fine players who are vertically challenged, so why pick on Bojan in particular! where do they mention it as if it's some kind of detriment....unless of course you don't actually know what "Diminutive" means? it just means small and if used is usually in terms of it being an affectionate adjective |
