Are you taking the piss ? I know some people really do nitpick over some things about Pulis, but SURELY our lack of goals is a legitimate grievance ? after all that is what the whole game is based around, attempting to score goals!. You've got it all wrong mate goals are for the purist. The steak lovers amongst us. |

So you think 0.5 goals a game, which is what we have averaged since Boxing Day, is enough to keep teams up? Amazingly goals win games, I know it might be a new concept to you, but it is actually true. And in our position, we couldn't half do with winning a game or tow Here's another concept for you - if you don't concede you don't lose. If like we did earlier in the season (yes remember - earlier this season) when we went 10 games unbeaten we don't concede goals it won't matter if we are not scoring many as we'll be getting points from games. Gouranga.  Thing is, we're conceding and losing. Perhaps scoring a few might help after all? |

Gouranga. Albert this debate is becoming somewhat hysterical. You seem to be suggesting we are doing ok this season which in itself is insanity of the highest degree. Has it ever occured to you that football can be enjoyable to watch? Life is too short for this shit. Get through this season then TP and his clueless sidekick need to be cleared out at the soonest possible time. Preferably on the Sunday afternoon following the Southampton game. (At least if we are relegated we can have something to celebrate at St Mary's). |

So fucking what. Gouranga. That's a great contribution to the debate isn't it? Around the turn of the year we had the best defensive record in the Premier League and we were the last team in the league to lose a home game this season. That was a statistic that we were proud of and we shouted it from the rooftops. This one is a worrying statistic, so why on earth would we ignore it or not discuss it? TP has acknowledged today that our goalscoring is a problem (like he had to tell us) though with his obsession for statistics you can bet that it's something he's been fully aware of for quite a while now. It's his job to get it sorted out. |

That'll be 41 points, safety, and what a fantastic season we will have had. We're just so grateful to be here Nige. |

I reckon they should change the rules and scrap goals all together and award points for how much you can run about within a 90 minute period.
Or maybe just have 22 players run around a field for as long as possible, the team with the most players standing at the end takes 3 points.

Albert. Bang on with your comment. I bet the OP hasn't considered the goals difference between us and the teams below. Yes we are lacking goals and if it rains next Saturday it will be the managers fault.......No balance whatsoever from the usual suspects!! I actually believe you believe this rubbish For the record we are currently the lowest scorers in all 5 divisions including the Conf. With £20m plus spent on the strikers for the worst return in all divisions for the 2nd year running is nothing short of scandalous |

We could have Manurs forward line, and we would still be the lowest scorers in the Prem,whilst Dulis is still in charge.

Some people on here will spout any negative shit they can possibly muster; I don’t recall the same negative wankfest when we were marching to Wembley and into Europe Gouranga. Seen this argument many times and it doesn't hold any water at all, you simply can't let recent good times be an excuse or a smokescreen for the dire situation we find ourselves in right here and right now. It doesn't matter 1 bit what we did 2 or 3 seasons ago, that is history...end of...It doesn't matter where Tony Pulis has took us....It matters where he is taking us....and on current form, if not this season then next season we all know where that is... |

Yeah because playing with a 9 man defence and having a better goal difference than other relegation candidates is totally amazing. Take no notice of the idiot from Whitley Bay. He's a proven liar and when he makes up 'facts' and is proven wrong he goes missing or never re-visits the thread. He trots the same line out on any thread that happens to criticise Pulis. H |

Gouranga. Thing is, it was clear even in the first half of the season that we wouldn't remain where we were in the table. We were playing shit even then. As others have said, if we concede a goal, which we do most matches, then we may as well knock it on the head, as we cannot seem to find anything in return. Besides, at Stoke the art of keeping goals out and not putting them away are intrinsically linked. When the first half of that notion goes wrong, yet inexplicably it doesn't coincide with what should be a greater attacking threat, resulting in more goals, you have to look at the personnel being chosen to play certain positions and accept that you're well and truly in the shit. Our early season form always flattered to deceive  |

Weve been the lowest pretty much since we have been up.
But it's ok, because some refuse to believe it is Pulis's fault so oh well all is well because we went to Valencia a few years back. Utterly fed up now, Im astonished as to how some just dont believe Pulis is to blame for what is happening.
Its undefendable, we cant score goals, yes we can defend but what good is a 0-0?.
The man is stifling the life out of us, he really is but hey, I should be careful for what I wish for right?. A goal here and there would be nice.

So fucking what. Gouranga. Even by the standards of the footballing world, that has to be the stupidest thing anybody anywhere has ever said about the sport. Well done Albert. I know we've all been watching it for years and all that but it seems that Albert hasn't even grasped the most rudimentary idea of the game. So to get down to basics the dictionary definition is: "a game in which two teams of 11 players try to kick or head a ball into the opponents' goal." Once we've grasped that idea, we can move on. |

38 games at 0-0 equals 38 points and two points short of what most consider "safety".
it's the goals we scored earlier in the season that is (hopefully) saving our arses now.
Rather than just writing 'Gouranga' every trolling post you make, how about you explain how a team that neither concedes nor scores can avoid relegation?
When we "marched on to Wembley" we scored five er, um, now what were they called again, it escapes me.... Oh yes... That's it!...
