I still stand by my statement when he first got the job. I feel sorry for the palace fans. It won't be too long before they're sick of the sight or sound of him. If he keeps them up they'll be happy, like even the most hardened Pulis hates with what he did for us. He won't keep them up though Flaps. Even if he did pull off the impossible task it will come at a heavy price for the Palace fans.

They've never managed to stay up for more than one PL season I think they'd be happy to stay up..?

Must admit I didn't much care for that trip courtesy of Pulis to wenbley, Thun and Valencia. What an hesvy price I really paid during his tenure. Top man Tony Pulis, he's a fcuking legend,

Best of luck to Pulis in his transfer dealings. Hope he finishes just below us and keeps the Palace side up. Here, here! Tony Pulis was good for Stoke City. Also, I think that it's good for the game if promoted teams manage to stay up for more than just one season. It's difficult enough when they are up against the big spenders including the 'Sky 4'

So, if anything it just proved that from one game to another you've never got a definitive 11.

I can see how I'm clutching at straws along with failing to see how some folks opinions about that match cones with no holes in their argument.

Not really he had a great opportunity to go over there and progress & took the easy option out, for the last 18 months at stoke he made the wrong choices and wasted great chances.
This time last year he had found a winning formula, that then he decided to change, which nearly cost us in the end, all the hard work he did in getting us to the FA cup final (although the run wasn't that difficult) and taking us into Europe ( only because City had finished in Champions League spot) were demolished in the final months of his Stoke career!

Had a great opportunity to go over there with the same starting 11 who had underperformed previously against them. Yes I see it now.

Your fucking hero banged the drum about us all going to Valencia to cheer us on to a famous victory and then took his reserve team to the game. He cheated his most loyal players from playing on the worlds best stages in a game they would remember for the rest of their lives and he cheated the fans who thought he was going to take the game seriously. The only reason we performed better was because the likes if Ric got a game and other players who didn't conform to his mind numbing shit football and free of those shackles we were actually treated to a half decent performance. That was no design of Pulis though and that was the day he lost a lot of folk who had up to then been on his side. BM

Enjoying watching your team play on a Saturday isn't all about stopping in the premier league at all costs,not as far as most fans are concerned anyway. Regardless of what many people thought about Pulis being the right man for Palace,in my opinion he isn't,and sooner,rather than later, you will be hearing the Palace fans grumbles from all over the country.

Top man Tony Pulis, he's a fcuking legend, We had some great times under Pulis and some great days out. For the most part of his tenure though,his football and so called style of play,bored the living shit out of me,just like it will do to the Palace fans,regardless of whether they stay up or not.

Too right Bristol Mick. I posted it when I got home from that trip that it was the beginning of the end for Pulis at Stoke and that in doing what he did, he lost many of the players confidence. I know for a fact that Shawcross was furious to be left at home and he wasn't alone.
It was unforgivable really but in the cold light of day, free from emotion, in arguably the two biggest games in our history, Pulis simply gave up the ghost. I was more forgiving of our tame surrender in the FA Cup Final, putting it down to injuries and a proud group of players running out of legs against a Man City team who saw the game as being as big for them as it was for us.
Truth is, we lost our sense of adventure and the freedom that we had been playing with in the lead up to that game. When I say "we", I should say "Pulis".
Pulis bottled it in both games and from May 14th 2011, his empire came crumbling down around his ears as he spent vast sums of money badly and retreated into his shell more than anyone thought was possible even for him.
The Europa League was fantastic and in attending all the games, I had a whale of a time doing something I never dreamed would be possible. That put a massive amount of credit in the bank for Pulis from me but truth is, all of my memories of the Europa league are for events OFF THE PITCH. On the pitch, the bulk of the games were actually pretty shit and were played out by reserve sides, particularly away from home.
We essentially gave up the ghost in the Besiktas and Valencia away fixtures and the only game truly worth remembering for the actual game was the Besiktas home match, which was a cracker.

Yes. I can see how I'm clutching at straws along with failing to see how some folks opinions about that match cones with no holes in their argument. It was more luck than judgement that the team played as well as they did. Pulis put out a team that on paper was nowhere near good enough.

Beggars can't be choosers and Palace got the best of a bad bunch Not sure who would have been the right man for them to be honest. I just don't believe that Pulis is the managerial god that some Stoke fans would have us believe. I don't see him ever having the same level of success with anyone else that he had with us,after all Delap and Fuller have both either retired or seen better days

I still can't get my head round why we have to have Pulis threads being started (what seems like) every day, on this board. When Hughes moves on will we just have Hughes threads, Pulis threads or Hughes AND Pulis threads? And why don't we have Quitters threads or Gudjon threads every day? To be fair we had loads of Quiter threads initially but he isn't a manager at the moment so not in the public domain. I don't get why people are so against talking about Pulis. He has played a massive part in our history. I am certainly interested in what he has to say and how he does. Let's not forget it wasn't a usual sacking by this clubs standards He manages Bristol City mate.

BM Trouble is Mick,Pulis hasn't got the banked success behind him that bought him plenty of grace with the Stoke fans. The Palace fans won't be as forgiving to his mind numbingly boring football and away day surrenders,so it is going to be interesting to say the least when they are still entrenched in the bottom three come February time.
