Some of us grew to hate his approach when he was inflicting his god awful dross on us and we hate it even more now. He's not a tactical genius, he just completely lucked out today thanks to ruthless officials and despite an utterly cowardly display. He didn't achieve or win anything today. He just lucked out, no matter how much you try and try and act like his agent. If we ever went back to that I think I'd give up on attending the games. I'm not a Pulis fan, I hated his football with the same passion as you and others but I can take defeat on the chin. Pulis has come and done a job, exactly what he is famous for aided by our own stupidity. He did no job at all. His formation was cowardly and his tactics even more spineless. He just lucked out - plain and simple. His gutless approach actually saw his team hanging on against nine men. If you're admiring that then I'm genuinely astonished. I could make some crude joke about you taking it on the chin also... but I won't.

Funnily enough I couldn't give two flying shit about 'Onlookers' either, so that makes two of us. You should learn to take defeat on the chin. I guess your celebrating Tony's win tonight. Sorry. The ref's win. Just Tony accidentally wandered off with 3 points. No i'm not celebrating but I'm not bitter either as I've been happy when Stoke walked away with the points when Pulis used Gutless tactics and we got the three points. Your bitterness smacks of hypocrisy

Time wasting against 9 men. Dear me. A quick glance at the half empty away end told you just what the majority of the Baggies lot thought of it. Yep, premier league football at a hell of a price for the Smethwick Samba community. After yo-yoing badly over the last decade they are probably grateful for it, but not so willing to support it with their hard-earned (as weren't many of us). They really are welcome to him and long may he reign there! They really didn't seem that grateful. Their chant of 'Attack, attack, attack attack attack' was a waste of effort and they soon stopped it. Quietest support I've ever heard from a winning team.

Spoke to a West Brom fan and he's beginning to see his lack of ambition. Time wasting against 9 men is absolutely fucking disgraceful.

They didn't hate Arsenal. Not sure most of that was relevant. Two red cards might seem more relevant. Time wasting against 9 men. Dear me. A quick glance at the half empty away end told you just what the majority of the Baggies lot thought of it. At a certain point aren't the 9 men frequently also wasting their time.

You guys sound like whingeing Arsenal fans. The opposition are under no obligation to give you a pretty game and make a great spectacle. That was the difference between a Fergie-led, Vidic-captained United and a Wenger-led, Fabregas-captained Arsenal. One side sucked it up and got themselves over the line against Stoke doing what was necessary. The other got all petulant and wallowed in self-pity and got out-muscled and out-hassled and ground down at the Brittania. Don't get all hypocritical moaning at the same tactics that you once defended when it formed your identity.

Today we shot ourselves in the foot but, we will learn. As far as clueless pulis and his negative players are concerned - we saw exactly why we are so lucky to have sacked that apology for a PL manager.

If Hughes had adopted such negative tactics against a team with 9, I'd be embarrassed. Today was a timely reminder of how we have moved on. Despite losing the game, I'm filled with optimism for the rest of the season.

What is most galling about todays match is the fact they were there for the taking. We had created a few half-decent openings and Shaq was giving them problems. It was thanks to our pair of clowns, plus a referee who was always looking for opportunities to peg us back, that we lost this game.
As for West Brom, they were DIRE. No incision with the ball, no imagination in their play and not great defensively, we were still creating a few opportunities with 9 men towards the end of the game.

After watching that awful display of negative football by WBA empitomised by the the Pulis era I can now undertstand why the rest of the football world, MOTD, London journo's , Arsen Wenger, etc., hated us - it was shit. We had to move on and Hughes has done that. Its like that Labour party politician - Corbyn or what ever his name is who wants to go back to the terrible 1970's when misguided union practises nearly destroyed our country. Pulis is an anachronism - he did his job but his style no longer fits w with modern entertaining Premier Leage football and its worldwide market. Sorry Tone I once loved you but now please - Fuck off.

I could make some crude joke about you taking it on the chin also... but I won't. His tactics away from home have always been the same. It reads like you are annoyed with him because he didn't attack us more. WBA were never going to win by 3 or 4 irrespective of how many men we had on the pitch. That is his way. What is it you would have wanted to see in his tactics to change your opinion? As far as TP is concerned he got 3pts..job done. He doesn't care about going for the throat or entertainment. It is all about the points. It is not TP's fault that his team had to play against 9 men. I think this is the point the OP is making. I don't see the OP admiring TP he is merely stating what happened.

p.s. any away win by a Pulis team can be classed as "lucking out" since he tends to set up defensively with a point in mind. If he gets 3 then that is a bonus. Negative?Yes. Cowardly? Not so sure. He no doubt sees it as playing the percentages.

He needed the points as much as us and it wasn't his fault we can't be professional on the pitch. Why should he attack just to prove a point when he's allready got the points in the bag? To give us a chance to counter attack? He did what he did yesterday with us away and we got turned over last minute countless times.
