Noticed this myself, both N'castle and Totanham were doing it, and Everton. Yet we get slated for using them with success.

I remember Ian Hutchison and Martin Chivers doing long throws in the 70's - but they were high looping lobs, not these hand-to-head missiles that wing in at Stoke.

It was said in commentary today "Nevell has a good throw, but he is no Rory Delap"

100% agree, i've noticed it so much, every game i see there seems to be a designated 'long thrower'
Now it'd be arrogant to think it's all because of Rory that other teams here there and everywhere are adoppting the tactic, however it does seem to coincide with all the palava surrounding Delaps throws, so, yeah, lets be arrogant, bloody copying numpties!! :-)

its nuts innit!!! like, before rory came to the prem, teams just didn't use it. unless they had a particularly good thrower of the ball, they might do a few times. but now EVERYONE is using them ALL the time... and whats more important, is defences are automatically preparing for them.
so if Tone's got his thinking cap on, which i know he has, the boys should be working out some training ground maneuvers which involve quick, short throws.

Rory should feel totally flattered that they are all copying his throw, he did seem to get a bit fed up with all the hoo-haa that went on at the beginning of the season, now he should bask in the glory that his throw is being copied in Europe as well!!
