I think this is fair enough. It was a target he set himself 3 seasons ago and he was gutted when we missed out after not beating Wigan on the last day. As targets go it's barely of ever been mentioned since. The players were mentioning it after the Christmas games but I can't remember if TP did or not. He would only mention it once we get 40 points. Not yet had the chance this season! But I'm sure he didn't last season either.

But I'm sure he didn't last season either. I do think he's mainly obsessed with the bare minimum ie avoiding relegation. I hate that mentality.

Everybody mentioned top 10 at the start of the season. TP, Coates, Crouch and Shawcross all mentioned it in interviews. Owen may have mumbled it on twitter too if that counts

I think Tony Pulis is the 6th best manager in the Premier League, behind Ferguson, Wenger , Benitez , Mancini and Moyes.

Yeah Geoff... what are you exactly?
Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not a Pulis hater and I accept other people right to an opinion - as long as it doesn't differ from mine - but you really give the impression of someone who has no idea what they're talking about.

That's been their reply when people like pugsley and lordeff have been spouting shite for 5 years.

He's a wind up merchant who's noticed how much attention he can get by swimming against the tide. Cares an awful lot for someone who claims not to be a Stoke fan, yet still does a fair impression of someone who hasn't watched Stoke regularly for about five years.

I've quoted five managers who are better than Tony Pulis in my view. The other thirteen are pretty much of similar ability. Based on their records I would say Redknapp, Allardyce, AVB and Pulis are the next best four. If you hold a different view that's your prerogative.

Next question: why does everyone keep responding to him?

Its pretty clear he doesnt want whats best for the club. Hes a wind up merchant and for whatever reason Admin havent clocked onto that yet. They will...with time.

rob,
You seem a sensible guy who presents your arguments against Tony Pulis in a logical way. Your views don't annoy me because they represent your beliefs. I believe Tony Pulis is a first class manager and I am posting that. Why do you find that a problem?

Because Geoff, at best you're someone who doesn't watch Stoke with any regularity, doesn't support the team yet is spouting off on something from a position of ignorance. At worst, with statements like Bayern Munich's display the other night was just like watching Stoke, or Pulis is the sixth best manager in the league, you're either a wind up merchant or someone with an agenda cowardly pretending to be something he's not.

rob,
The comment about Bayern was a joke, perhaps I should have put, lol. The sixth best manager comment was serious. In future if I am joking I will indicate this.

phil,
There are maybe 100 posters on here slagging Tony Pulis off. There are a few, like me, backing him. You should ask yourself why you can't listen to other people's point of view.

I've always been a bit of a Rimmer Geoff. I waste away most of my time on here arguing the toss with PHWs and am regularly criticised for my 'blind devotion' to the manager... so what was your point again?

jb, You mean you don't like what I post, there's a difference. No Geoff, he means you don't what you're talking about. Like when you suggested the best news for Stoke supporters would be for the board to announce that TP's been awarded a new contract. Of course if you had actually known what you were talking about and understood as most Stoke supporters do, that Tone is on a 12 month rolling contract, then you wouldn't have made yourself look just a little bit silly.

Paul,
Not so. I meant it would be in Stoke's interest to get Pulis tied down to a longer contract. I fear for Stoke if he goes, believe it or not.

Even though the man himself insists on a rolling 12 month contract? As has been mentioned, I can't work out where your motivation lies. You're clearly not a big Stokie as your knowledge about all things Stoke appears very sketchy at best. You're either on the wind up or your surname is Pulis.

Bollocks Geoff, you got caught out because you didn't know what you were talking about. As Rob said, you're either somebody with an agenda pretending to be something you're not or you're somebody with an unbelievable level of arrogance attempting to argue a point from a position of ignorance. Or most likely, you're just a WUM.
