so it appears stoke will be playing a better standard of football with charlie adam in the team,on a few occasions i was actually counting passes against man city!What has brought about this evaluation in Tony (40 points) pulis mindset? It is clear he has smelt the coffee and could see what was coming if he didnt change,I thank sincerely all stokies who have taken time to express their views via the media outlets,it is far better to campaign for change than tag your forelock and say "we just have to accept Pulis is that way",NO ! NEVER ! For the greater good of stoke city,carry on watching his every move,chastising as and when appropriate,hopefully from now we will see a better standard of football,although Pulis being Pulis,poor tactics,weird selections,mindblowing substitutions will still occur.Finally i enclose my letter sent to the oatcake for the man city game which did not get printed,neither did the one for the arsenal game or a few towards the end of last season,as much as the editorial team do not welcome criticism of Tony (40 points) Pulis,its about time they accepted there are many devoted stokies who cant wait to see the back of him,saying on page 5 of man citys oatcake that poor judgement affects us all,and saying,you dont know what your doing is a step too far,who says so ?We all have a right to sing,I bet on reflection the stokies who sang "you dont know what your doing" meant every word,whos judgement is poor is very debatable methinks,on many occasions it is the managers! When we brought Charlie Adam my initial reaction was great,I remembered how he orchestrated blackpools team in their premiership season,the thought occurred to me has Tony Pulis changed?is he going to play football through the midfield?Why would he change?Well it is a fact he has had a very uncomfortable few months,with the dissent visible on the messageboards and p&g since stoke were promoted,more and more supporters have realised his tactical nous,poor selections/substitutions have actually cost the club points,and we wont even mention the dire,boring style of play,has the penny dropped with TP,does he actually realise he has to change to survive as stoke citys manager,is Charlie Adam the midfield general we so desperately need,than reality set in,even if Pulis were to change it would only be temporarily,a couple of setbacks and it would be the 40 yard diagonals for Crouch,with Walters feeding on the scraps,then we would have Charlie Adam watching the ball fly over his head,so i am afraid it is in TP's dna,he would always return to percentage football,anyway thanks to all the stokies on the messageboards,P&G etc.who have made their feelings known loud and clear these last few months,it is only by doing so we have any chance to change or replace TP,certainly these who moan in the pub,concourses etc but take no action will not be reason for change Is the answer Dusty Bin?

To the original poster, your Dodgy Bri aren't you.
I've been reading The Oatcake too long not to recognise you.
You can't say they haven't printed enough of your stuff can you. I emailed them last season to moan about TP and they printed it, so maybe they're giving someone else a turn?

Mick, I really tried to read it but the lines kept running into each other and eventually I got bored and gave up.
Sorry mate.

I think we might try to help him rather than make fun!
Micktom tenner, try using the following rules:
1 Have lots of paragraphs, separated by lots of white space, which make a lengthy piece much more user-friendly.
2 Use more full stops. Try reading what you wrote out loud and every time it you come to a natural pause, you probably need a full stop. If in doubt, use a full stop and start a new sentence. Most people have trouble understanding a sentence if it has more than a certain number of words in it. ;D )
3 As posted above, use one or two spaces after a full stop.
Why not do an edit on your piece and then re-post it? (That way, everyone will criticise your views rather than your writing style. ;D

To be fair, he does have a point about the editorial team not welcoming criticism of TP. Just to confirm the suspicions I have been handed a photograph showing Smudge out in Hanley on Saturday night with Tazi, Daftlad and Sheikh Momo celebrating our 43 game unbeaten "smashing" sequence against randomly selected world class big six teams. ;D
