Just been Reading a few other web sites. Liverpool want hodgson out, wolves think mcarthys got it sorted, wengers a clown, and fergie is too defensive away from home.

For the first time in decades we have stability - On and off the pitch We are financially stable, are no longer a selling club, are mid table in the Premier League (I for one still cant believe we are in the fucking thing at all) are getting sell out crowds and have signed some great players. Yes TP can frustrate and yes it was shit yesterday but for Christs sake, see the big picture, look at how we have progressed and what we have acheived. 'And the football under Pulis still bores the shit out of me' - We are Stoke fucking City - not Barcelona ! What's that got to do with it? The football under Pulis (in my opinion) is absolute dross. Why do you have to compare the football with Barcelona. For instance... Wolves tonight played with spirit, adventure and an ability to PASS THE FUCKING BALL.

We've also had 35 years where if we had a decent manager some fucking twats would come along and take him off us and as soon as a Stoke player looked like he could kick a nogger ball he'd be bought by Everton and the like.
Look at Vale - Adams is off after half a decent season - I really do worry about some Stoke supporters, I really do

We beat Liverpool 2 feckin 0. Were you there for that?! Comparing us to Wolves one decent performance of the season. I'll have a wager with you. Go on the wolves board and ask how many would swap pulis or our league position.

Could you tell that by watching 10 minutes on MOTD ? Wonder why theres plenty of Wolves fans who want (wanted ?) McCarthy out ? Do you honestly believe that we would have what we have by passing our way out of the Championship and staying for 2 seasons in the Premiership ? Sometimes not everything can be perfect and thats why the comparison with Barcelona. Coates believes in Pulis, Pulis has been given the money, we have been promoted, we have established ourselves in the Prem. So you expect all those things plus sparkling, 'spirit, adventure and passing football' - Fuck me - The moon on a stick would be easier

The football has been utterwank for the last 20 years for the most part, so I don't get why people struggle to appreciate it's better points rather than continually moaning their bag off. Everyone wants a successful team that plays sparkling stuff, but for now a successful team that doesn't is better than what we've been used to, which is a shit team playing shit football.

I was talking to Coates in the 'Spoons last night. He said he was thinking along the same lines, but it would have to be a big name. He said Ferguson is too old, he hates Wenger and does not like Mancini much more. Vicente Del Bosque's english is non existent, so that just leaves the "special one"....................
and he is already the Potters manager, so get a grip!

80% reedeem himself the best of the night. Do you honestly think pc does this to gain redemption from us lot. You really have an high opinion of yourself if you believe that. We are fortunate to have a man who is not only a fan but also has a large degree of sense. How many chairman can you say that about? My guess is none!

Yesterday was shit and we resorted to some desperate stuff which was horrible to watch BUT We can be a real pleasure to watch too - Personally I love seeing a couple of Wingers having a go at the full backs and a big lad looking to get on the end of things. We DO need a better option in central midfield - A player who can release the two wide men and weigh in with his own fair share of goals (and believe you me that player IS NOT Jon Walters) So yes - Pulis has a lot still to learn and he can frustrate the hell out of you with his subborness (the predictability of the 50 th minute substitution was hair pulling stuff) My simple request is to see the situation for what it is overall - One of great progress and still great potential. I will guarantee that most Stokies will look back at this period and be thankful for what was acheived - unless another 30 years of shit football, shit results with numerous shit managers selling all our best players is more your thing ?

In his first tenure he pillaged the club for what it's worth. Have you forgotten? As I said earlier.... bravo for what he's doing now but the terrible twosome have a lot of making up to do in my eyes.

Because you start from a point of blind hatred of Pulis so your opinions are immediately tainted just as the Rimmers blindly follow the hoofball doctrine and therefore they too should be humoured but generally ignored.

No, because in your own words you have "wailed against Pulisball since he's been here" Clearly never gave him a chance from the start, so your closed minded attitude deserves no credence.

My "closed minded" attitude as you put it, did in fact try to warm to his footballing philosophy. I'm afraid that the last two home performances have driven me right back to where I started.
