Well, Harry did a great job with Portsmouth didn't he? Just remind me where they are now and where their problems can be traced back to.

same old same old,whitehead should of been subbed, save for the ref telling pulis to take him off it was obvious that after his booking and then a warning the next time he would be off,don't really think it was a pen but because he had been mis-timing challenges all day the pen was given.Terrible management but why after the game when he says "i couldn't honestly see them scoring" does he go and change it??????

... Yes things could have been more pleasing on the eye but if one phrase sticks in my mind is " Proud Potter" if you don't like fuck off you TIT The only tits around here are you and the other brain-dead, halfwits who are constantly prepared to put up with the inept tactics, total lack of courage, and selection imbecility of "Surrender Tone".

We had Stoke fans applauding at the end of the game!!!
If any off here took part in it then i,m curious as to just what they were actually applauding?
This manager will never change as he is shit scared of change and tbh i have never seen so many Stoke fans all united as one yesterday in their condemnation of the football ( loosely ) we play.
Mindnumbing is not the word

Swansea Stokie. Without going into a laboured discussion I have followed Stoke since before The return of Sir Stan and all but short periods of relative success I have suffered years of shit but never lost my love of SCFC. In the last 5 years I have witnessed teams frightened of coming to the Brit, the media and other supporters either loving or hating us and now we have so called supporters thinking we should be in the Champions league. Yes things could have been more pleasing on the eye but if one phrase sticks in my mind is " Proud Potter" if you don't like fuck off you TIT If you've been following Stoke since the return of Sir Stan then makes you what, 60, 65, 70? And you're telling people on an internet forum to "Fuck Off"? Pretty shameful, if you don't mind me saying.

If you were there, you would have known 90%+ were less than happy with the spineless capped one

Werrington - I applauded when shawcross and huth came over to us at the end as thought they played well and I don't blame the players for the surrender at the end of the game as it was pulis at fault not them. It wasn't the players who made the terrible substitutions or picked that joke of a midfield so for me I will applaud the players but most definetely not TP

its all about supporting stoke, not the manager. Pulis is never going to evolve his tactics, we may play a bit more football against lesser teams at home or in the cups like europe last season, but the basic direct approach will not change.
Quite what you are smoking or taking if you go away from home and expect to entertained i dont know. If you are going for the crack with the lads or to have a good sing then fair play, thats what i enjoy most about the away games, because there isnt much to excite you on the pitch.
On a brighter note, how refreshing was it to see a stoke player pick up the ball around the edge of the area and have a shot in kightlys goal?
We got a point and most people would have taken that before kick off. Yes its frustrating when you clearly have controlled most of the game and then sit back on a one goal lead. If we can pick up points away from home, without playing well then thats a positive for me.

We ran through the list to work out when we just wouldn't sit back and defend a 2 nil loss - it was a very short list ;D

Shekihyourbooty, Please learn to read or digest what is written - I don't think that I wrote that I want us to go down, and actually did not mention getting rid of Pulis. However don't let that get in the way of your rather strange perceptions and limited understanding of the reality of TP's tactics.Indeed, I am a disgraceful penis, fortunately slightly less disgraceful than yourself. Have a nice day and dont forget to say the proper benedictions to your chosen Deity

Bit silly to say you would have us go down, but I am 100% for getting rid of Pulis. Can anyone truly say they go to a Stoke game, weather it be home or away and truly enjoy themselves, or feel they have been entertained. We pay a lot of money to go watch Stoke and i would like to be able to come out of a game being able to say i truly enjoyed watching us. A little message for the people who are still Pro Pulis, please go rub the shit out of your eyes and see things for what they are.

You watched the team you love play away in the Premiership? You should be grateful you can afford to go. Not a lot can. Maybe they should get a job then eh! Or pop down and clean my lexus if they don't mind working for the minimum wage I have got a job you tit, not that it's any business of yours. I just dont come on here spouting that i've wasted ££££ on supporting my team when i've got the option not too. It's not compulsory to go to football matches you know

Sheikh, Thank you for the clarification. My point is as follows: TP in my opinion is very limited in his tactical thinking, the coherence of his transfer policy, and the primitive approach that he brings to the game of football - it is something that should raise the spirits of those who choose to go to games and watch, not the dire, attritional slug match that Mr Pulis has reduced it to. Having said that he did achieve something that myself and my Father never thought we would see again (SCFC in the top flight, and my first game was Everton at home in 1967), for that he deserves some forbearance. However 3 years further on and specifically last year, he has taken away whatever creativity we possessed and still sticks to the "defend at all costs " philosophy, which saw us return such a low goals for and chances created statistic. On the one hand you have the "flog him" brigade, and on the other you have the "TP is God, look where he has brought us to" brigade. I admit that I veer toward the "Flog Him" brigade, but only as a result of his total unwillingness to accept the fact that what we currently do, is nowhere near as effective as it once was. As you know, to stand still in the PL is ultimately to regress, which our deteriorating league position since Year 2 would support. No one wishes to return to the Championship, but in much the same way that I could not guarantee that changing the manager would improve things, those who think that only TP can maintain our position in the PL are also equally deluded. It is the way of TP, that I do not think that the vast majority of people would take to him as a person. He is at best Okay, but often falls some way below that level - my opinion only.

If our football is so 'primitive' why is it that since we joined the Prem nearly every team sets up to have 5 in midfield when the opposition have the ball. The Gary Neville piece last season on MNF which analysed the way we smother teams was full of superlatives and praise. Our football is very effective and other teams have clearly adapted parts of it to their own ends. Mimicry is the greatest form of flattery. Yesterday, we saw enough to guarantee another mid-table finish. The frustration is that we are so close to pushing that little bit further.

Well the cluless one pulled out all of the stops for this shambles did'nt he,every stokie there could see that whitehead should have come off except for the capped twat who fucked up big time yet again. There really cannot be a more negative manager in the history of premierleague football and to think that he had the temerity to state that the people of s.o.t would not like to see stoke play like swansea,err no tone why would we want to see our side score five goals away from home. Same tiresome shit on display,lets sit back and defend, the only good point being kightlys display and the fact that quite a few supporters are now turning against pulis. I don't want us to play like Swansea, and I'm not turning against Pulis, but I can agree on you about Kightly, he was great and for me taking him off was the managers biggest mistake.

Well, Harry did a great job with Portsmouth didn't he? Just remind me where they are now and where their problems can be traced back to. That's not down to him. It can be tracked back to the owners letting him spend money they didn't have, does that help remind you?

March, Let me get this right -you think that Stoke introduced a 5 man midfield to the Prem? Mourinho was'nt doing it then with just Drogba as the target man and two wide players who dropped back to support the midfield and then joined in the attack? Priceless - TP a great tactical thinker. I am suitably enlightened.
