For me he's done more than enough to justify living like a king for the rest of his life. He's given me some of the best days of my life, ie. 2 trips to Wembley, and 2 trips to Europe, things I never thought I'd get to do. This FA cup final talk is being taken too far. We did well but people have got carried away with it. IMO. Maybe your expectations have become too high? We're not Chelsea who sack their manager every year because we've not won the Champions League. For a side like Stoke to have stayed up for 4 seasons is a fete in it's own, and then to get an to an F.A. Cup final is IMO phenomenal.

Surprise that nobody has suggested bringing in a decent No 2 to replace Kemp who, imo, is a yes man and probably dunner get any say in team tactics because of this. A strong No 2 with some tactical know-how to stand up to Pulis hoofball might help stop the slippery slide we are currently on. Problem is of course, who, as traditionally No 2's are much the same as Kemp. I suggested Martinez but they lost this weekend so i'll have a rethink.

The Peter Reid season was a fairly dull one compared to the ones that preceded it and followed it.

Maybe you're right maybe it makes me a bad fan but I can only express my genuine feelings. I genuinely feel bored and disinterested and find it absurd that given our financial backing, the lack of excitement on offer at the Brit is heartbreaking. We don't know how to pass a football for fuck sake.

It's a no from me up til no but it is near rhe edge now. The talk of bringing in a number two to influence TP is as daft as Wolves sack MM and replacing him with HIS number two. Unbelievable Jeff.

Yes. Binary shite always. A leopard never changes their spots and Pulis can't/won't ever.

No, he deserves one more season before this is even contemplated. He's as new to all this Europe lark as most of us. Definately needs a good, positive start though next season or the vultures will start to circle.

Do you really think we've evolved in terms of the quality of our football since promotion?

Do you really think we've evolved in terms of the quality of our football since promotion? Gordon Strachan, Dave Jones and Dennis Wise send their regards... None of 'em lasted very long after their Wembley defeats, did they?

I have stuck with Pulis for so long but I'm on the verge of giving up. The football is so bad at times that I'm not sure I can take Pulisball much longer. Agree with Bunny, wait until at least xmas and if we don't improve he can go. So no for now.

looks like the majority is a yes! Another problem with him is we all know the shite players that play now we still be playing come September when the window is closed! Whelan, whitehead, Wilko, shotton, Walters etc!! I'm sure Tony doesn't want half the games we do in the same way! Them players are dire most of the time and cause more problems than positives! How long is it going to be until he keeps playing these shite players and a fans turn against him?! Match days just arnt the same this season! The excitement has gone out of them! I walk up to te Brit thinking how many are we going to concede today? Is our best 11 going to be played? this is down to TP yet he is so stubborn and will refuse to chance anything this is the root of the problem!!

I don't see the point in sacking Pulis unless we have someone better lined up. Leaving the attrocious Kemp in charge is just a massive no no. Saying that, what has he actually done to deserve being sacked? Ok he has dished up some of the most turgid tripe we have ever seen, but we are safe in the Prem. We could always plod out the West Brazil line 'I'd rather get relegated than play like Stoke'. He deserves to be in charge, I just wish he would grow a pair and go for it more and play players where they should be. So no. H *claps*

YES. Hes completely out of his depth in the premier league. The stats dont lie + his many signings leave alot to be desired. Hes simply too stubborn. I feel this stubborness will lead to our downfall next season if nothing is done.
