Hah, how Ironic, they now want callers to call in and talk about great "footballing myths", perhaps someone should phone in and tell them it's a myth that we're just a boring long ball team .

I've emailed said Mr Durham & invited him to attend one of our future home games & come up to the Fox & Duck at Birches Head to discuss his one sided views on our club.
Perhaps he won't be so gobbing in person than when he's hiding in his studio in London town.
I await his reply... some how though I don't think he's got the balls to accept but I'll keep you posted.
Cheers
Amo

It is a total myth. We aren't exactly Arsenal, but it's only the media hoopla surrounding Delap's throw that gives the terminally dense the easy option of pigeonholing us as the new Wimbledon. It's getting a bit tedious

It's getting a bit tedious I've said it before, it all stems from the Pulis team circa 2004, a time when even the most ardent Pulis defender would admit it was some of the most turgid and base football ever seen at Stoke, but looking back, Pulis did what he had to do at that time, but to keep on labeling us as boring when we're patently not is just a lazy stereotype, how can anyone describe our first 4 games this season boring ? pound for pound we've been the most exciting team to watch this season so far.

I suggest we should jam the text lines with "Adrian Durham, you're a wanker" on 81089 tomorrow night. I tried an informed and reasoned text but he obviously failed to respond so I think this should be the next course of action.
Adrian Durham, you're a wanker.

Listing to Talk Sport the day Keegan left Newcastle, Durham was slagging off Keegan big style, a Liverpool Supporter came on and give him the biggest bollocking I`ve ever heard on Radio telling Durham to shut is gob and listen for once, the scouser really gave it to him and made Durham sound like a real prat., may be we Stokies shoulod do the same.

For our tactics and long throw, Adrian Durham at his wind up best... They had a text comp, what would you prefer to do rather than watch Stoke... e.g. I would rather watch paint dry than watch Stoke... I would rather watch my own vasectomy than watch Stoke... Some of them were pretty funny to be fair. No One Likes Us I don't think you can accuse Stoke of being boring. Different maybe, but how boring football would be if we all played the same style? I would class you as the John Merrick of the football world, not pretty, and unlikely to be accepted by society, but what harm are you doing?

Just e-mailed Adrian Durham to let him know that i've seen the light and will now be supporting Chelsea. Oh and that I'd also be tuning into the biggest broadcaster in the UK at the same time, the BBC. ;D

The whole of Stoke City has to use things like this to galvanise us. Let em keep spouting crap.
The articles on this subject in yesterday's Oatcake were bang on.
Give it everything you can at the matches to help the team win. Lets annoy these plastic journos for years to come
There are plenty of teams we can finish above.

www.7days.ae/en/2008/09/16/rob-mccaffrey-3.htmlLooks likeRob McCaffrey's another one who's fallen for the long throws = New Wimbledon thing Suddenly I’m transported back to English football in the 1980s. Players are lumping the ball 70 yards for statuesque centre forwards to flick on. Free-kicks and corners are raining into the box forcing defenders to kick, bite and boot it clear. Frail looking midfielders spend their afternoon with neckache, following the ball back and forth, as in a tennis match. They are completely bypassed. It is not their job to pass and move or thread a cheeky ball inside the box, but to pick up the pieces, launching the ball back into the danger area. Wimbledon climbed four divisions and won an FA Cup doing it.So it was that Stoke faced Everton on Sunday, and produced a game of football I’ve not seen in Premier League history! In Rory Delap, Stoke have a not so secret weapon who will cause problems for teams all season. He literally fizzes the ball in with a mind-boggling long throw, right under the bar. The rest of the team pile in on the keeper and try to nick a header, or a scuffed touch and, if it rebounds off a defender, they scrap again. It’s the ‘Life on Mars’ version of football! For a spell Everton couldn’t cope and fell to pieces under the onslaught. Other teams will feel the heat. Curiously, it was fantastic to watch. Possibly because we’ve not seen anything like it for so long! What’s that you say: ‘What’s Stoke’s plan B?” Let me get back to you on that one.

Can i make a suggestion. Instead of us all texting in to his shit show why not get 1 of the current playing staff who is a local lad or who has a bit of passion about the club to ring in and have a word with him ala jamie carragher and offer him the chance to come down the ground for the chelsea match and to come on the pitch etc before the match and let us show him what we think. Would work much better than us all wasting our money on him. My suggestion would be Dicko, Wilko, Griff or Lawrence. Im sure some people on this board know some of the playing staff. Infact it could be 1 of our former players who regular attends games. I just feel it would be better to do this than us all wasting our time texting in his show as he knows he will of got on our nerves if we all text in

Or maybe we need to stop being so sensitive and just ignore it, or maybe just text him "Go on admit it you love the long throws"
Durham is always at it with Arsenal etc, pretty odd he seems to be spending a lot of time talking about Stoke!

It is time Chelsea's epic 1970 FA Cup Final replay win against Leeds was scratched from the record books.
Come on, it can't have been right and proper football given that it was won with a long hoof forward to OIsgood and a converted Hutchinson long throw, can it?

In the sterile environment of the prem Stoke are a breath of fresh air to twats like him, it gives him something different to talk about, He's like a backward child with a new egg box to play with.

"In a recent show, Durham admitted that he watches Stoke City play football before sex. This, he stated, turns him on, due to Stoke's fluid style of play, and skill both on and off the ball. "I like how they mix play up," he stated," they are not just a long ball team." During this statement, a pig appeared to fly over Durham's shoulder, holding a picture of Christiano Ronaldo being sent off for diving."
wikipedia doesn't lie people ;D

Maybe Durham could point me in the direction of the FA rule which states that the long throw is illegal, because I'm struggling... Or maybe he'd like us to play the Tottenham way?

I've been 3 games this season so far, Bolton away and the 2 home games.
I've seen 14 goals, the best mental for years, a manager sent off, the worst referee ever and maybe 2 of the goals of the season.
Fucking boring or what, I'm lovin the Premier League.
