Burnley show the way forward 09:58am on 26 May 2009 No 18 - As its been stated everyone knows the score before the season starts. If you're not good enough to get Automatic Promotion then maybe you're not good enough for that division full stop and maybe one less team should come down - does that sound fair?

I personally think that the play offs are great. They add that bit of excitement at the end of the season and it does mean anyone can come out. As it turns out Burnley were more than deserving there win and over this season they've done exactly what they needed to do to get into the premiership - They finished inside the Play Offs and then won their games to get up!

Congratulations - Its going to be a long season for you but lets hope you can stir it up a bit! (Just don't play the same 'Football' as West Brom!)
England's Goalkeeping Manuel 1:04pm on 01 May 2009 Another Rory Delapless blog however did anyone see the Premierships best passing launch the ball into the United box at the end with a long throw - Well I say long, nothing compared to Rory's!

I also saw the Superstars of Chelsea go to Barcelona and park there bus in front of their goal and hit more long balls than Stoke and Bolton combined, it worked for them so good on them but why do the media lavishly praise these dogged performance but are quick to hammer Stoke when we did it away at Liverpool earlier in the season?

I think these big teams are taking note of the mighty potters style and appreciate its greatness (even though were not safe yet!)
Relyin' on Ryan 1:20pm on 28 Apr 2009 As a Stoke fan i'm disappointed that Rory Delap has not been mentioned in the past few blogs Robbo - Can you please mention him next time!

While you're at it you could lambast every other team in the country who now seem to have taken our very own tactic and use it themselves. Its a disgrace the amount of teams that now think they can use the long throw, just where the hell do they get off?

There are a few Man U fans who seem to think that it wasn't that bad of decision - I think as decisions go its on a par with going to Mexico and attempting to set a new world record for rolling around in the most pig poo ever!
Down the Dwain again 12:36pm on 11 Mar 2009 Number 11 - That's like me saying 'next time i can't think of anything good to write in a uni assignment i'll just skip it.' Life's not like that i'm afriad...

You shouldn't be at Uni if you're even thinking that.

I like Robbo's blogs but I did find this one a little disappointing, it might even be because of the new page layout not the content.
Button it Benitez! 1:13pm on 13 Jan 2009 Well Done, you managed to mention Stoke without mentioning Delap - That must be a first for you!

I do enjoy your article to be fair and this one was no exception!
Review of the week 12:55pm on 11 Nov 2008 Scottish Scouser - Is it any wonder that England struggle when teams like arsenal very rarely give their youngsters the chance to shine - Players like Upson and Bentley were both at Arsenal but Wenger sold them and replaced them with cheap foreign imports.

Its a good job the likes of Man and Chelsea are willing to invest in the English talent of the game - And these are the two teams who competed for the Champions League final and are also two teams willing to put in the physical side as well as the technical!!!

For the record Stoke were not overly physical and the only side that got a red card card in that game was Wengers.
Wenger must cure Arsenal frailty 12:38pm on 04 Nov 2008 Comment Number 2 - Priceless!

"Park Soccer"???

The first Goal of the Month went to Stoke and it didn't come for a throw. Please make a note of that.
Defending The Delapidator 12:29pm on 04 Nov 2008 Robbo,

You obviously only got to see the highlights.

Stoke created a few more chances that didn't come via Delaps throw. Unfortunately you will have missed them though and are entirely justified on basing your article on this fact.

Goal of the Month for August I seem to remeber for Stoke - And then came when Alfonso Alves scored probably the best goal he's ever going to score for the mighty Boro!

Hopefully for your sake Robbo the FA will act quickly though and outlaw this blatant cheating method because the wonderful Arsenal can't defend against it. How wrong it is for little Stoke to use what can only be described as offensive weapon to their advantage!
Battle at the bottom 11:07pm on 17 Oct 2008 Mr Wilson,

Don't panic!

Obviously the other Stokies are correct, the attendance has always been the same capacity - No seats have been added (yet)

We're still waiting for a big score board though, so if you could mention that on Sunday that would be great.

Very little comment about the game to be honest but I supose you can't be biased. Infact very little comment about much other than Iwelumo missing for Scotland and Tottenhams transfers - No real opinion on how either side have actually played this season but I suppose battle at the bottom sums it all up.
