"Irrationality is cognition, thinking, talking or acting without inclusion of rationality. It is more specifically described as an action or opinion given through inadequate use of reason, emotional distress, or cognitive deficiency." Do you think Pugsley is rational when it comes to his thoughts on TP? To be honest you probably do. He has stated many reasons in the past why he dislikes Pulis. I think you should go and work on your English before the new term starts.

In what way did he 'do his homework'? He got lucky that we self-destructed. By spotting Afellay's petulance and targeting him. The push into the hoardings and the bad tackle led to him striking out, Pulis was lucky that Gardner's raised hand didn't see him sent off but that's Oliver's fault not TP's. If Hughes were to target Ramsey for example and get him to strike out then I would like to image we'd all see it as good management. Oh right, sorry, I thought you meant through clever tactical footballing acumen. I thought that didn't sound right...

WBA were fucking awful on Saturday but Pulis has shown plenty of footballing nous over the years. He's a steady top flight manager not the anti-christ.

Pulis and clever tactical footballing acumen, a phrase I thought I would never hear even as a piss take, he truly is a dinosaur of a manager from a land that time forgot.

I didn't have a problem with them roughing us up. I thought his jumping up and down trying to get our players sent off was weaselly given his constant soapboxing about fair play over the years.

You can't be a terrible manager and take a team from the bottom of the championship to the knock-out stages of the Europa League.

The problem is he does that while managing to make a % of the clubs support begin to hate watching their own team play.

Nobody (well.. apart from Pugs' decade long schtick..) is saying he is mate. I just personally don't think he's void of criticism over the way he handled himself at the weekend. Regardless of your or my opinion over the way he sets his teams up (it's shit), it was his behaviour that let him down after getting a brilliant show of respect prior to kickoff; something you scarcely see in football. And I would say it's a shame, but it doesn't seem that he has any affection to Stoke City or it's supporters anymore. Obviously he still brown-noses PC and 'the family' because they buttered his bread, but to me his character AS A FOOTBALL MANAGER has been knocked down a dozen or so pegs.

Would another manager given the backing that Pulis got have done any better. That's open for debate.
Is he capable of setting up a team to play binary football and killing the essence of the game absolutely.
Did he blow our biggest opportunity in Europe and disrespect the fans yes!
He's a one good (trick) pony that wears thin when after 5 years you're not the underdog but play like one.
Will the west brom fans tire of him qucker than we did? Read their post match thread.
Will he get a round of applause off me, or any of the guys I go to the game with, absolutely not!!!
I can accept his tactics, but his touch line behavior, and classless comments show his true character.
A round of boos from me next time.

You get the likes of Thorney coming back scoring a hattrick against us and gets a standing ovation as he leaves the field as he refused to celebrate his goals, now that is having class. Then you have Pulis punching the air in the direction of the Stoke fans shouting fucking get in and generally acting like a twat on the sideline (see Bojan). I'll leave it to everyone with the IQ of over 10 to understand the difference. It has fuck all to do with losing, I lay that at the door of the ref. H Hopefully, the sycophants, the naïve, and the gullible souls will gradually begin to realise that Clueless was, and always will be, a bollocks merchant. No style, no quality, and full of piss and wind.

Football management isn't about being nice it's about winning, Pulis would have been desperate for a win on Saturday and fortunately for him he got it. He clearly respects Peter Coates and many of the Stoke supporters, in the heat of the battle though that has to be put to one side. Ah, your back doing the self publicity then Tone.

It must have been a difficult and emotionally fraught day for Tone. A bit like being the Best Man at a former missus' wedding. A relationship that had legs. And they hold the reception in the house that you helped to decorate and furnish. You don't know any of the foreign bridesmaids. And most of yer old muckers Jonny, Ryan, Asmir, Robert and even Steven aren't invited to the do. No wonder he laid a cable in the marital bed. He wasn't very gracious and his team stunk. They seem to have become a one player team over the past few seasons, Lukaku, Berinho. Not sure at all how this will turn out. I think TP has a place in the Prem, an antidote and anachronism, but I like that. I'm just glad I can watch it from a distance now.

Why did he come out on his own then ?......why did he wait 3-4 mins after the teams came out before he made his appearance ?....Mark Hughes had managed it ..... And yeah he did coincide it for all the above reasons He's that far up his own arse it's beyond belief as everything is about him .

Pulis was given an ovation for his past services to Stoke which was well deserved. I think it's fair to say Tony Pulis is an intense sort of person and he must have wound himself up for this game in particular, my guess is that his behaviour was an outburst of spontaneous emotion and relief. Very good Tone, still plugging away.
