I am waiting until we have some points on the board ourselves before I comment on WBA, pride before a fall and all that.

No one is daft enough to try and liken what we watch now to the shit Pulis sides serve up as a matter of course are they? I simply wonder why the same people continually wish to snipe ( for any reason) at one of SCFC's most successful managers who has moved on, never had a bad word to say about the club, management, players or supporters. Simple really!!! I never really joined the 'haters' or the 'rimmers' but simply appreciated the bloke for what he did for MY team - he got us back to where we belong, and KEPT us there long enough to establish ourselves again. In my opinion, what he did was necessary; the phrase 'needs must' springs readily to mind. BUT....we needed to move on from that mentality, and he wasn't the man to take us to the next level. However, whatever his shortcomings...he doesn't deserve to be slagged off at every opportunity. Just my OPINION, like

I could ask you to point out one word of inaccuracy and demand to know why I should leave West Brom out of a analysis of transfer dealings when they are so out of step with general trends. However...... It's okay. Don't trouble me with your view on accuracy. I've just gone and re-read the first few pages of the Shaqiri thread!! Fucking hell!! Hahahahaha First weekend of the season and you have more posts about Tony Pulis than Stoke City. Says it all really. Completely obsessed.

Yes I get annoyed when fans slag off TP after all he did for us.I live in Walsall and drink with Baggies fans and a lot of them didn't want him. They seem to think they must always play open attractive football and survive in the prem, they are so deluded.I can see TP walking away from WBA before the season is out.

Come on, spending £8m on a centre half and playing him at right back and suggesting the problem was that TP himself had gone too attacking is hilarious whatever side of the fence you're on surely? It's TP as a parody of himself, like he's become his own Spitting Image puppet.

We had this rubbish when TP was here - "you can't survive in the PL playing football.." Proven, by Mark Hughes, that that is absolute garbage. Take a look at Swansea for another club. Is it so much to ask for your team who you are paying hundreds of pounds to watch actually play some football rather than an 8 man back line? He's spent over £20million this close season - surely a bit of football is not beyond them?

This isn't a pointless thread. It's about a game that was live on TV. Most live matches are accompanied by a thread. Not as busy as this one I grant you, but there's still usually a thread.

I don't think pointing out what you actually said qualifies for splitting hairs. Do you? I have no idea why people who think it is an act of treachery to laugh at Pulis inflicting on West Brom of all clubs ( which is self explanatory) the excuse for a style of football he does bother to read threads where it is nailed on it is going to happen. I promise you I'm not snipping. I'm positively revelling in it. Just to help the joy of it all, the bloke has just been on claiming he has been too adventurous tonight and vowing not to do it again! It's priceless stuff! There was the too adventurous quote after the game where he apologised saying he took responsibility and it took players away from what they were supposed to be doing. There was also the might get criticised quote before the game where he said that he might get criticised for going two up front. Sounds like he's playing games with someone here. Most likely the chairman who has told him he would like to see a more adventurous approach this season? So job done, his taking full responsibility is nothing of the sort it's most likely to make a point to the chairman to keep his nose out of team affairs because he hasn't got a clue. Just a hunch like. BM Was discussing the exact same thing last night with someone. There were too many times at Stoke where I felt he did things just to shut people up, almost as if to say 'it can't be done like this'.

Too attacking?
I pissed myself laughing at that comment and I imagine there are plenty of Brazilians wondering what the fuck he was talking about.
Brilliant.
They may well have had 2 forwards on the pitch but they sure as hell didn't play as forwards.
I bet the Brazilians, with their pure football principles loved the passage of play around the 40th minute where having not touched the ball for minutes, they won it back and simply whacked it to no one in the right channel then made no attempt to follow it out choosing simply to decamp in the final 3rd as a flat back 10.
I was pissing myself at the thought of that arsehole radio fella trying to justify how they were playing.

The mental fucking wankstains! Well I watched the game last night and pissed myself laughing repeatedly at the predictability of it all. I'm not surprised people enjoyed watching that performance and all its oh so predictable features, including the post match delusional / self-serving interview. Maybe Pulis will take them up to the end of this month then quit again because he's not been given £100 million to spend on thirtysomething model pros. If he doesn't throw one of his hissy fits, he'll do a decent job for West Brom, but they'll all want him gone before the season's out. And if you don't think that's hilarious, you're kidding yourself.

I do like to see the artists formerly known as the wankstains continuing their obsession with him though. It would form a most fascinating psychiatric case study.

I do Momo, We need at least three sides below us at the end of the season. Hopefully one of them will be the delusional boing boing baggie bastards. With or without Pulis. GD

Part of the reason we should all get stuck in and enjoy this is the experience of years of footballing purists telling us they 'couldn't watch that'. Well they're bloody well watching it now.

you've got to appreciate that baggies fans are among the most delusional in the country, they call themselves 'the pride of the midlands' because they've finished above us which aint exactly the greatest achievement considering we've been crap for the last 4 yrs and at the same time conveniently forgetting you are now classed as a W.Mids side, a lot of them remind me of W.Ham fans spouting off about playing football 'the albion way', well i'm old enough to remember the last great side they had who won trophys and if they were playing 'the albion way' in my eyes 'the albion way' was a long high ball to Jeff Astle RIP, so TP in my opinion is the ideal man to re-introduce 'the albion way'

Reading the latest mental breakdown by the Pulis Witchfinder General regarding Pulis obsessions is a bit like being told to keep out of the biscuit tin by the fat lad. Similarly the hilarious "I only ever started one thread on Tony Pulis" claim (copywrite Sheikhmomo) rings of the lunatic driver who doesn't have any accidents but has seen plenty. Now we have the deranged frothings that the fanzine is deliberately suppressing waves of love for Tone! There is no need to deny such a claim so I'll leave you (and Mutters) to your deranged biting the chair leg and foaming at the mouth if I may. Have a nice day and don't go too heavy on fawning over the continued and unparalleled success of our men in suits. You may have a giddy spell

I mean with this and the magazine, do you ever discuss Stoke City or has your therapist recommended that you constantly air you middle aged cap wearing man obsession as part of your treatment?

Yes, Hughes has got them playing football but all the elements were there. We had very capable players in N'Zonzi, Shawcross and Whelan. It's not the same team that got promoted to the Premiership and as much as I hope they don't, I fully expect Bournemouth to go down 'playing football' as you put it. Pulis has inherited what I consider to be a very poor team. Going through there squad list (only on Shitipedia), there's maybe 2 or 3 players I would take? Berahino is a given and perhaps Callum McManaman (although he's flattered to deceive), however the Pulis signings will make them better. Yes, he's spent 20 million, but he's got to be a little bit cautious considering how shit they were to begin with. Another few signings and I'd agree with you, but right now, he's working with a legacy of gash players from a succession of poor managers.

Another few signings and I'd agree with you, but right now, he's working with a legacy of gash players from a succession of poor managers. Yes, we have/had a number of good players in the squad from the Pulis years. But it took another manager to get them to play football. At the end we had guys out of position all over the place. IIRC, Charlie Adam played left wing for us a few times. Shotton on the right wing and Cameron (who we bought as a CM/CB) playing right back after being tried at right wing and withdrawn striker. On top of that, it certaily seemed as though most of the team had had all of the football coached out of them as our game plan boiled down to 'hoof it up to Crouch and hope something drops'. Pulis has done pretty well with skill players at Palace and WBA after coming in as a replacement manager. However, IMHO the jury is still out as to whether the leopard has truly changed his spots; and I'd give fairly good odds that in a year's time WBA either have a different manager or are playing that old-time Welsh Hoofball
