I'm done with this shit! Call it over reaction, call me a cunt, tell me to fuck off up the Vale bUt watching us turn up for 20 mis today is the final straw! Pulis is a stubborn prick and watching this shit doesn't feelany different to watching the team we had under Brian Little. Shit is shit, no matter how you dress it up! To watch us have a go against a shit team for only 20 minutes is soul destroying! Pulis Out! It's tough at the minute mate and we're on the train and totally pissed off. Whats the general vibe at the moment amongst stokies who were there? Many want him out? |

serpico, Is that verse from Pink Floyd The Wall ? GD It's from the song "when the tigers broke free", not included on the wall album due to it being too personal to roger waters, but it was in the film. I think it was also on "the final cut" re-release in 2004. That verse at the end of the song is a bone chiller. |

This is what every sensible fan should be thinking. Yet look at the state of this site. Charlton is the perfect example, enough said wooooooooosh ;D ;D Hmm not quite lad  As I said, this is what every sensible fan should be thinking, but then again it seems stoke fans love mass hysteria. So woooosh to you my friend |

Today was the first day I didn't even attempt to find a stream, until we went 2-0 down and I thought the final 30 minutes might be worth a watch. It made for half decent viewing, but I'm well aware that the first 60 minutes didn't. Pulis is right about one thing though, that Fuller makes a great impact sub. (If it needs to be said, I'm joking)  |

'Whats the general vibe at the moment amongst stokies who were there? Many want him out?'
Many around me were beyond anger but mainly limited it to individual shouts aimed at Pulis. There was a brief, 'pick the right team, pick the right team' mass chant (to the pirhana's tune) and Fuller and Pennant songs rang out for quite a while before they came on...

I missed the whole thing, just got in and seen the score. Apart from this being about our fourth defeat on the bounce, which is as depressing as a statistic gets, I am also assuming that we were pretty bloody awful. I have to say that after last week I was thinking that we have been found out and we do not have a plan B. Tell me, is the following what happened: - We defend in numbers
- We attempt to counter-attack down the wings. The objective is to win either a throw, a corner or a free kick from those forays - we don't care which.
- The opposition, have realised this and the wingers are guarded closely
- So our defenders have no one to pass to and we stay stuck in our own penalty area
- Our passing is not something we can do that well anyway.
- We end up blocking attack after attack and give the ball back every time
- Eventually by dint of basic statistical probability someone gets the ball into our net.

You'd have to be insane to go and watch stoke away from home, however, we always have a couple of bad runs per season, TP usually turns it around, the games against swansea and norwich are massive now, this isn't a crisis yet, but lose those two, or get anything less than 4 points and it might well turn into one. Spot on, Serps - we're on a bad run and needs to turn it around, but there is no way this constitutes calling for the manager to go! |

Last season, the best in our history, we had two bad runs, not dissimilar to this. In October/November 2010 we lost 4 on the trot and in February/March 2011 we played 4, lost 3 and drew 1.
When it means so much to you, these losing streaks are really hard to bear, but you just have to keep your head up, get behind them, and accept that a team that got to 8th in the Prem can't become a poor side overnight.
Had we not be facing Valencia on Thursday and Crawley next Sunday, we might have seen a different starting XI today.
Can't lose my faith in TP, sorry. I was there when they tried to hound Waddo out of the Club in 1968, and that would have been a bit premature wouldn't it?

13th in league. 5th round of the FA Cup. Valencia in the Europa Cup. Look where we have come from, only Pulis could have got us here, no other manager could have done it, look at Charlton, if we got rid of Pulis we would get relegated. H And I was feeling better too after reading that...... |

Ha ha jono, don't know what took you so long mate!! We stopped going away games ages ago!! Pulis is inept, would never have even got this far without the Delap long throw. Take goals from those away from right back to the promotion year and your not left with alot!! Well i went away to Wba,Everton,Wolves and Blackburn and had fantastic days.Not many callihg Pullis inept then. Probably best if you stayed away from home games as well you fuckin quitter. |

Battery died on the train journey home. The concourse was a pretty depressed place at half-time. I don't think you'd find many who want him out to be honest else they probably wouldn't be there but there were a lot of pissed off Stokies crying into their beer. |
