Please, no booing or Pulis out chants during the game, no matter how we play. Seen it before and it never does any good so save it for after the final whistle. Yep. Agree with that, Sausage. It doesn't matter if the manager is Tony Pulis, Tony Hart or Tony Blackburn for the next 3 months. It's not as if there's the merest chance of Pulis walking or Coatesy pulling the trigger anyway - at least not 'til the summer, at the very, very earliest That said, emotion does funny things to people and if, a couple of weeks down the line, a 'Pulis Out' were to start in the aftermath of a sloppy goal or a witless 20 minutes of football, I'm sure there'd be a decent take-up of it.

I can just see it. Pulis out chants abound, he gets sacked down the line, 20 years later we think what the fuck were we doing. And people like WFW change their name to WaitingforPulis ;D I don't think people really appreciate his skills as a manager or his commitment. So are you saying that if Pulis goes then inevitably Stoke will go down? If so, you're talking rubbish.

It would very much depend who we got in, Big Sam is available as is MON I think they would keep us up Although if we did a Blackburn and appointed a coach as manager or Ian Dowie came in we'd be fucked

There is no reason why Stoke couldn't attract a quality manager like Allardyce or MON.
Only if Coates reverted to form and promoted from within would we struggle.
Pulis's time is up, time to go at the end of the season. Thanks for everything.

They started yesterday - a lot of fuck off Pulis was shouted by many starting with the Pennant sub and near the end - I dont agree with chanting it but it nearly turned in to a chant yesterday.

"RED AND WHITE sometimes shyte but in it till i die" That should be on a t-shirt I still find it gobsmacking when I read posters on here claiming that 'the vast majority' are fully behind him. Either them or me is inhabiting some sort of parallel universe, it's like the emperors new clothes all over again from what I can see.

pennant was pissed to be subbed yesterday its annoying when you here all this shit about us playing with two wingers from pulis and coates because since pennant signed i bet we have only actually used him and ethers starting together about 2 or 3 times

I agree but would we want Allardyce, his brand of football isn't much different to what we have now MON would be amazing but as soon as a a bigger job came up he'd be off and we'd be back to square one

There is already unrest, it's here now and was evident yesterday. The boos rang out on both substitutions and lots of supporters left in disgust before the end. What is more telling is nobody tried to defend Pulis yesterday that I spoke to and I heard no obvious objections to the shouts of "go Pulis" (or words to that effect).
Generally we are a tolerant bunch but when it starts to turn it turns quickly as history has shown. What Coates will want to avoid is any loss to his own reputation. He will ride it for now but the next couple of games are massive.
Finally, people should not fall into the trap of suggesting Pulis is being hounded out. Our current situation is entirely self-inflicted and ultimately people have the right to demand value for their hard- earned money and time, something I'm sure Mr Coates would have to agree with.
The blue touch paper has been lit!

There will be some if we are losing in our next home match. This is football it breeds imbeciles. But as others have said it will be counterproductive so please anyone who sits next to a moron chanting 'pulis out'...have a quiet word. As I said in another post do the civilised thing and write to PC. As for the manager being sacked there is NO chance before the end of the season even if we lose every game

Spot on - it changed yesterday from I'I aint going away again' to 'Pulis out etc' He truly lost the crowd yesterday for the first time and the a more sinister mood came over most of us

Whatever we think of the manager, and I really don't like this manager at all, this is definitely not the time for Pulis Out chants.
We need to get behind the team during the game. End of.
If we go down it will be a disaster.

It's simple now. We are one of the serious relegation candidates. 6 straight away defeats. We are going to have to hope and pray that we get something at Villa and Blackpool. So we are going to have to rely on hoping we can get over the line with what we have left at home. We have to stay up. Tone said there will be big changes in the summer. If we are still a Prem club that is. I think the blokes head has gone for some reason but he knows better than me! We will stay up easily. Our current form is still better than some of the clubs below us and there is a 4 point gap for them to make up. This can still be the greatest season in our history and TP will be forever and a day venerated by generations of Stoke fans. Assuming you're not on some elaborate wind up, your complacency and arrogance is staggering March. The teams below us have closed the gap on us considerably in the last two months and there's nothing in our current form to suggest that we're going to sprint away from them in the not-too-distant future. What was it you were confidently predicting on Friday...we were in a position where we were going to produce one of our backs to the wall victories? What exactly were you basing that on then? By the way, hows that "Bolton will drop like a stone" prediction going for you?

I can remember the game at home to Plymouth in what I think was the promotion season, or possibly the season before that. They atmosphere that day was absolutely poisonous. I think we won in the end and there was a fair number of people who just trudged out of the gates in silence at the final whistle because they hadn't got an excuse to scream for the manager's head at full time.

I think we won in the end and there was a fair number of people who just trudged out of the gates in silence at the final whistle because they hadn't got an excuse to scream for the manager's head at full time. Yeah - amazing to think that was the promotion season! www.people.co.uk/sport/football/news/2007/09/23/stoke-3-2-plymouth-102039-19833226/Tony Pulis took stick from both sides and Marcel Seip scored at both ends in a bizarre game on and off the pitch.
The Stoke boss was constantly taunted by his old Plymouth fans and, with his side trailing, chants of "Pulis, what's the score?" rang out from away and home supporters.
Pulis had the last laugh as his team turned the game round to end up sitting fifth, but there is growing discontent in the Potteries.
Pulis said: "When the fans were hollering and hooting the players showed their spirit and that's what we needed. It was a great result in the end."

Eastham out after blythe ,Barker out after the new coaching revoluton[long ball] Asprey out after he was alledgedley knocking one of the secetaries off, Mills out well that was a regular chant ,Ball out that was brewing before we lost to wigan ,Little out after the great start and then he went onto extra ciriculum activities ,again knocking someone off instead of concentrating on the team allegdedly, Chick out after the brum debacle, Kamara out after the big hype ,just trying to think of all the protests ive been involved with ,sack the board on more occasions than i can remember ,probally missed a few out ,when i look back ive been on loads as many others like myself have, true passionate supporters . At this stage i think we oughta hold back on the pulis out revolution let the season end and see where we are.I personally despise the dross thats served up ,despise being called a rugby team ,despise the tactical ineptness but in all honesty do not think it will help our cause if there are big chants for his removal ,RED AND WHITE sometimes shyte but in it till i die. It wasn't just Chick out after the Brum debacle,it was Bates,Coates, Coates's wife and the kitchen sink.

i certainly don't think Pulis should be removed before the end of the season
however, whatever happens (unless we win the fa cup) i'd like to see Tony moved upstairs so we can get a manager in who will know what to do with the transfer budget so we can get a bit of variation to the squad
if pulis is given 20 mill in the summer he will waste his time trying to sign scott parker and in the meantime sign 4 or 5 alex bruce/jay bothroyd type players
he's really lost the plot n the last couple of months and if it doesn't cost us our premier league status this time around it will next season

Pulis knows there is fans unrest. He has stated many times 'let's get to 40 points as quick as possible'. Then he knows he's safe and will mentally build for next season. We need to support OUR team, booing is for children.

We really are turning into pathetic plastic Premier League supporting wankstains aren't we. Frustration is one thing but we really have turned into 'sing when we're winning' despicable arseholes. The first time things aren't going our way in three years and the toys are out of the pram and there's spat out dummies everywhere. Whatever your views on Pulis, the players are really struggling at the minute and we've turned our backs on them with this bag of wank.
12th man my fucking hairy balls. Stoke fans? I've fucking shit 'em.

By the way, hows that "Bolton will drop like a stone" prediction going for you? Don't forget Sunderland too, and the recent "Blackpool will surely finish bottom". He has a weird kind of jealously/hatred of teams that do quite well AND pass the ball now and then (tippy tappy nonsense)

The teams below also have games in hand and the the case of brimingaham who are third from bottom they have two games in hand.

If only we had swooped a few weeks ago when you suggested it. (They also lost 3-0 away yesterday if you hadnt checked) Who is this week's suggestion ? Dario had a good result yesterday!
