Thanks Pricey.
Some of our matches have been fantastic this season, Manchester United and Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Some have been terrible, Norwich and Cardiff.
That's football. Much the same every season, regardless of the manager. Sometimes good, sometimes crap.

ADMIN
whilst i appreciate that some threads that happen to mention TP ARE relevant (as he was with us for so long and we owe him a massive amount in my opinion), i also feel that it is pretty feckin obvious when a thread is started for NO other reason than to start yet another friggin "PHWs Vs Rimmers" battle (i'm not even going to dignify it with the word "Debate"). is there any reason that you let these threads about a manager who has nothing to do with us anymore and is only started to start up a pathetic name calling thread between mcf, mom, stafford and RAF continue?
they have fuck all to do with Stoke (so no excuse there), don't even tend to be about football and encourage nothing but antagonism between the childish that are more interested in "I told you so" than they are in matters that actually effect Stoke.
ADMIN....i know it may sound obvious and i know you may have known some of these dickheads for years but this board USED to be a place to discuss football and, in particular, Stoke but allowing constant thread after thread of this boring, tedious, pathetic, childlike shit day after day after day is completely ruining it for about 80% of the posters on here.
those posters need to sort themselves out and some (like myself at times) need to just ignore them but surely as your job as the ADMIN for the board, you have at least some responsiblity to do something about it? it's just turning into a playground for about 6 posters (which you letting happen) and the rest are losing interest fast because of it. start fuckin sorting it out, it's getting beyond a bloody joke now!!!
start using the shitbin for what it's actually intended for instead of just using it to bury threads that you personally aren't fond of. this board should be for everyone, not the select few that happen to make the most noise!
it's NOT a Stoke forum anymore, it's just a chatroom for keyboard warriors who have to take out their frustrations on here because they aren't getting any at home
i'm starting to completely lose the will to live when i come on here nowadays...it's a bloody playground!

Calm down! Unfortunately you are another who would rather this type of thread would go away, as it simply demonstrates that your view of our former manager was at best misguided and at worst completely inaccurate.

Millsey You and a few others are fucking babies. There are plenty of Rimmers and PHWs that can happily discuss the topic. indeed there are mcf and i have no problem with that...the problem i have is when almost EVERY thread is turned into a debate about Pulis/Hughes (usually by you) even when it isn't even bloody relevant. if you'd actually read the post you;d have understood that..it was fairly clear! |

well, why are you objecting it to it on this thread?
I'm guessing a post with 'Pulisball' in the title rather gives the fucking game away doesn't it.
It's not like I'm going onto the fucking flasks thread is it?
Although maybe I should, Pulis flask is wank and boring, always fucking coffee that tastes like piss with no tot in it. Hulis flask on the other is hand is fucking wonderful - maybe a bit more leaky but you even get hot chocolate sometimes.

It simply amuses me that after months of telling anybody who cared to read that TP was finished, we were going to be relegated, the signings were rubbish, how terrible it all was, that now you and quite a few others obviously are having to do a fair bit of back sliding.
Hardly surprising that you would rather the performance of our former manager is not examined.
If Ric scored a great goal for Blackpool, or Lawrence played well in Turkey, we would acknowledge that.
So what's the difference?

i spent a lot of time actually defending Pulis and getting annoyed with people who spouted bile and threw unnecessary insults at him after what he'd done for us actually. it was only in the last couple of months of his tenure that i changed my mind about him being our manager but even then i never slagged him off, never threw insults his way and actually argued against those that did! i simply thought it was time for a change.....i was one of the few on here that recently whole heartedly backed a thread asking for some kind of ovation for Pulis at the Palace game as i wanted a show of respect for what he'd done for us. if you prefer to make things up however and misrepresent what my actual feelings towards TP are/were because it backs up your petty opinions then feel free...doesn't make any of it true though, just makes you a sad troll that has to resort to lying. not EVERYONE enjoys every thread being turned into an argument between you, mcf and RAF you know..just because people voice that dislike also doesn't mean they're a PHW but you just tend to throw that at anyone because you just can't see that some people may actually even agree with you but still be fuckin tired of it day in day out (i've even liked coments by you, mcf and momo)..it just means they're tired of the same old shit and the same old people monopolising every bloody thread and taking it over so they turn it into a Pulis v Hughes debate. for what it's worth, i actually agree with some of the points you have made and some of the points momo and mcf have made as well...the difference is that i don't feel the need to basically copy and paste the same comments on virtually every thread or to alter the course of a thread so i can intentionally turn it into a Pulis argument. THAT is what is boring, tedious and childish to the nth degree. do you really think that by now people aren't aware of your opinions and stance on it? yes, they are...we all know that you, momo, stafford and mcf LOVED Pulis (as did i in the most part regardless of what lies you try to tell) and we all know that RAF, Pugsley, Jarhead and various others thought he was an old dinosaur who was best left to rot....ok we all get that but now he is no longer our manager then what relevance does he have exactly? none! you lot quibbling over whether he would have done ok this season if he'd stayed is completely and utterly pointless (because he's not here and neither side know one way or the other how he'd have done)...you lot quibbling about how he plays at Palace is completely irrelevant to us as well (they have different players and it's a different team, how he does there in no way infers how he would have done with us)...you lot quibbling about what the actual formation we use is irrelevant (as Jamo pointed out, we field about 6 players regularly now who weren't fielded under Pulis so completely different personnel being utilised). basically ALL of your arguments are pointless, irrelevant and beyond tedious now and don't have any purpose apart from petty one upmanship between you all about who was right and who was wrong about a man who isn't even our fucking manager anymore! have you really nothing better to do with your time? P.S your comparison about Ric or Lawro are completely pointless also. if a TP thread was only started or a debate only ever began whenever TP actually did anything of import then fair enough, i'd be happy with that but nearly 100% of the time it's an argument that has started on a thread that isn't even about TP, or when someone has gone out and intentionally dug something up so they can discuss him...the threads are in no way, shape or form threads that are based upon what TP has done at all, they're hardly EVER reactive and because of something that has actually happened and you know it. threads like this should be on a Palace board full stop....the stats that TP has at Crystal Palace compared to those Holloway had at Palace are of no relevance whatsoever to a Stoke forum. |

We'll have to agree to disagree then.
As Mustard said, of course it's of interest to a lot of our supporters how our successful former manager is doing, just as it is of our former players.
I was interested to see that Jon Eustace scored for Derby this week. It would be great to see him at The Brit next season. It's perfectly natural for TP to be of interest too, especially after the length of time he was here and his relatively recent departure.
I support Stoke City, and have done all my life. It's interesting to note that with just one or two exceptions, most of the diehards who supported Pulis even last season also now support Mark Hughes. This is not an either/or argument for me. I like and appreciate the changes Hughesy's made. Above all I want Stoke City to do well.
What sticks in my craw is the hypocrisy and lack of respect for a bloke that gave us the best years most of us can remember.
Some people would rather forget about the whole thing, and not discuss it, because they just can't face the fact that Tony Pulis "has been proving people wrong all my life, Nige".

I can assure you the reason I started the thread had nothing to do with PHW vs Rimmers battle. This is a football forum and I found the stats extremely interesting, given that they seem to run contrary to Palace's indisputable uptick in form. If you aren't interested don't read the thread. If you are interested, then post something relevant to the topic under discussion or at least say something interesting. To respond with the above is just ridiculous you silly silly man. |

THAT is what is boring, tedious and childish to the nth degree. do you really think that by now people aren't aware of your opinions and stance on it? yes, they are...we all know that you, momo, stafford and mcf LOVED Pulis (as did i in the most part regardless of what lies you try to tell) and we all know that RAF, Pugsley, Jarhead and various others thought he was an old dinosaur who was best left to rot....ok we all get that but now he is no longer our manager then what relevance does he have exactly? none! you lot quibbling over whether he would have done ok this season if he'd stayed is completely and utterly pointless (because he's not here and neither side know one way or the other how he'd have done)...you lot quibbling about how he plays at Palace is completely irrelevant to us as well (they have different players and it's a different team, how he does there in no way infers how he would have done with us)...you lot quibbling about what the actual formation we use is irrelevant (as Jamo pointed out, we field about 6 players regularly now who weren't fielded under Pulis so completely different personnel being utilised). basically ALL of your arguments are pointless, irrelevant and beyond tedious now and don't have any purpose apart from petty one upmanship between you all about who was right and who was wrong about a man who isn't even our fucking manager anymore! have you really nothing better to do with your time? P.S your comparison about Ric or Lawro are completely pointless also. if a TP thread was only started or a debate only ever began whenever TP actually did anything of import then fair enough, i'd be happy with that but nearly 100% of the time it's an argument that has started on a thread that isn't even about TP, or when someone has gone out and intentionally dug something up so they can discuss him...the threads are in no way, shape or form threads that are based upon what TP has done at all, they're hardly EVER reactive and because of something that has actually happened and you know it. threads like this should be on a Palace board full stop....the stats that TP has at Crystal Palace compared to those Holloway had at Palace are of no relevance whatsoever to a Stoke forum. Tell you what...go find a few threads that aren't either started by the likes of me and The Shakester or that aren't originally about Pulis or Hughes (where Pulis gets slagged and we probably go in to defend him). Go on, find one about the weather, or flasks or some non-Pulis/Hughes debate and see where we monopolise into one about Pulis. Go on...off you trot. The truth is, we end up on very few threads but they go on for pages because we get utter, hypocritical muppets like you that say they hate them but can't stay fucking off them. |

This thread wants fucking off. If people want to discuss Tony Pulis, or Crystal Palace, they can feck off to their message board. Seriously admin, sort this shit out. As long as the thread has the right title surely it's easy enough to ignore. It's amazing the shit that people get their knickers in a twist over. |

Calm down! Unfortunately you are another who would rather this type of thread would go away, as it simply demonstrates that your view of our former manager was at best misguided and at worst completely inaccurate. what the fuck are you talking about exactly okey??????? you mean my "misguided view" that TP is the best manager i've ever seen at Stoke in my lifetime? or my misguided view (that i've said on plenty of occasions and even in the fuckin post above you tit!) that he did masses of good for us and i will always have huge gratitude and respect for him you mean? you really are an arrogant cockknocker of the highest order who thinks you know people better than they do themseleves are't you? do you have ANY proof of that whatsoever???? no, you don't you just see someone who can;t be fuckin arsed with childish slanging matches and think "Ulterior motive!" absolute fuckin bollocks you dipshit!!!! personally i'd prefer to talk about stoke on a stoke message board rather than crystal palace if that's ok you fuckin imbecilic, arrogant fuckstick...and don't tell me why i'm making posts you fuckin cock...all you're doing is COMPLETELY proving my point!!!!!!! if you;re going to come up with this kind of shit then i suggest you actually get it right you wanker, i was a self confessed "Rimmer" for most of his tenure dipshit! you're one of the worst knobs on here that is turning it into a fuckin playground for your own personal enjoyment and fuck everyone else that wants to post....absolute arsehole! grown a brain and let people who actually want to talk about Stoke get on with it..if you want to play one upmanship with the rest of the kindergarten then crack on but don't tell me why i'm disagreeing with you you sad, old, miserable twat! some of us want to actually enjoy stoke related threads that AREN'T completely fuckin ruined by you and your ilk trying to put words into people's mouths and starting a rant about TP Vs Hughes every 3 fuckin seconds!!!! is it that hard to understand? I like you Mick. You talk a lot of sense and don't flower things up  As i said above though, it was titled with Pulis in the name, so if you want to discuss other things, don't open it. If this was a different subject dragged round to Pulis you would have a point. It wasn't though, so you don't. |

Like what though. The last 10 years of continual success? * * apologies to John what the fuck does he do Rudge circa 1998 I suppose it depends on what you call continual success. If it is staying in the prem after getting promoted then yes. If we are talking about winning nothing, failing with the 3 and 5 year plan and eventually retrograding back to a poor team then no. I am also acutely aware it hasn't been much better under Hughes until lately , however he's not even had a season yet, nor has he been given the same backing. He has arguably ahd more backing. he inherited a squad worth around £80 million compared to maybe £5 million that Pulis started with. h ehas not been forced to sell anyone and has added 9 players to the wage bill - Muniesa, Pieters, Ireland, Arnia, Assiadi, Giudetti, Aguledo, Assiadi and Pennant, no evidence he hasn't been backed. As Hughes himself said, results should improve in the second half of the season as the benefits of working with the team start to flow through. I think there are signs but it is on a knife edge at the moment as the overalls tandard of the bottom 10 teams is very close |
