Well i for one am not enjoying it!!
I like my teams to have a scuffed shot in the 4th minute then a half chance in the 55th and the coup de gras is a shot sailing over the bar in the 74th.
That suffices me

What a fucking game this is now. It's like watching a completely different sport to what we've become accustomed to ... In a way I like that because we force teams into a scrap and stop them playing at the Brit. On its own that makes Pulis's tactics impressive but in general I'm sure all our fans would rather have half-decent football. Southampton will probably lose this game 3-2 or 4-2 whereas as we would have lost 1-0 or 2-0. Statistically, there's no difference.

It's ok I suppose , but who wants to see goals ? it's all about results and we are still in the prem !
Anyway even if the saints stay up "having a go " it's stands to reason they will go down next season !

A couple of more goals for Citeh will do me nicely.
The sight of that twat shuffling around on TV, chucking in soundbites about playing football the right way, will send me to bed in a very happy mood.

Very true Pricey but sometimes a consolation goal can lift the fans moral.

Is that it then have we all decided the manager must go, because he ain't changing formation or style as you yourself have pointed out. I must admit I haven't seen a game like this down stoke for donkeys

Adkins ffs, he's so obscure, what exactly has he done? Other than achieve back to back promotions using an attacking style. Is it jealousy? Don't understand the hate.

Blimey saints bring an attacker on.
All this positively will send half the posters on the board into meltdown.

However there wouldn't be a chance I'd miss an away game if we showed the same intent as Southampton are doing today, as it is, I'll quite happily watch most of them via a satellite or stream.

Of those in the Premier League there's only 3 or 4 who seem like a genuinely nice blokes. I was speaking to a Hull fan who'd had to deal with Phil Brown and although he had no problem with the way we play, he thought Pulis was a total dick.

Phil Brown I can understand, but someone who's proven himself to be fairly decent is entitled to be a little smug.

Certainly part of the smug brigade with Pardew, but he was right.

That suffices me I'm in the same boat - far better getting beat 3-0, 2-0, 3-0 and 3-0 and knowing you've lost well before you leave the ground than having a go and leaving the result in the balance until the final whistle

Obviously we'd have surrendered meekly though, whatever the score.

I'd sooner lose 4-2 than 2-0, because at least you'd get to celebrate a few goals. If you lose and don't score, then you have fuck all to cheer about.
Fair play to Southampton, they went and gave it a go but Man City's quality came through in the end.
