...about what they're saying? We always get this over the top knee jerk reaction, it was the same with the Fuller incident last week. Then, a few days later the same individuals who wanted him to be sacked come back and say, actually, he's our best player, and what he did wasn't that bad.
Can we please just stand back and be rational about it? Yea we were dire today by the sounds of it but it's only the FA Cup. We need to get out of this rut for sure, but the way to do it won't be by sacking TP. Let's all stop being so stupid by calling for TP's head, step back and think before we post such garbage.

I agree.
It's just that with previous weeks performances, team selections etc the "Pulis Out Brigade" are being armed with more and more ammunition.

No we cant Locky, the reason is for once again pulis has gone to far, Do you really want to get relagated?
Uless we sign players, we are going down.
Pulis = Prick
End of.

I dont believe that TP should go,as it wouldnt be the best thing at this point of the season. Afterall, sack him, get new man in,and identify targets/buy them by end of Jan? No chance.
All i will say is that the longer that real poor 1 dimentional performances go on, with a lack of any alternative, then the more the Anti Pulis brigade will sharpen their knives. We are playing rubbish,and serving up rubbish.

Check out the General Discussion Board - there's a thread on there called something like Pulis Out Sweepstake and there are many posts on there predicting exactly the knee jerk hurt reactions we see above at exactly this time of year.

"Pulis out Brigade", I thought they all conveniently fooked off last season, perhaps they just went into the woodwork, fickle wasters.

Pulis has bought the wrong players for The Premiership. This has been proven already. PERICARD!!!    |

Its got nothing to do with it 'only being the FA cup'!!! We've just been outplayed by a fucking third division team, which just about tops off an absolutely wonderful week for Stoke City Football Club. Absolute Dog Shit Pulis!!!

We've been shite since Arsenal and something needs sorting sharpish. That's my main worry. Sacking Pulis is daft but he needs a kick up the backside because currently his tactics and his players aren't good enough.

Agreed John, sacking Pulis will achieve nothing apart from definate relegation this season. Besides, who would take over? Theres no one I can think of who would come in and have the 'redknapp or allerdyce' factor and immediately turn the club around. Plus, we need 5/6 more players with proven premiership quality and theres no chance of getting that this season. I truely think that Pulis is the only manager that could keep us up this season with this group of players. In any case we all know there is ZERO chance of Coates sacking Pulis especially this season. And never forget....bitter disappointment is part and parcel of being a stoke supporter!  |

Don't tell me that at the start of the season you thought we'd be pushing for top 6? Or are you saying that at the start of the season you weren't looking forward to our first season in the premiership, becasue we'd be in a relegation battle?  |

ive thought about it all along and never changed my view he is not up to it never will be and it will end in tears , the job is simply too big for him he relies on qualities which will carry you lower down but not here, and as ever in a crisis they are deserting him now,were was the much vaunted spirit today?did Hartlepool have that extra bit of quality ?
Post blackburn " i cant wait for the window wish it was now " now its here signings arent imminent, and its bollocks to say it not a good time,Curbishley saved west Hfrom a worse position, Rednapp Portsmouth the year before, Allardyce will Blackburn its absolutley the right time to say thanks for what you have done but we need that extra bit of quality in the dugout beofre you waste another £20MILLION,

Sacking Pulis is daft but he needs a kick up the backside because currently his tactics and his players aren't good enough. He is capable of changing and playing differently - we played far differently right up until the Arsenal game. Is he willing to though? We just don't seem to learn from our mistakes, and whilst most supporters, and virtually every TV and Newspaper analyst agrees on what is wrong, we don't seem to make moves to put it right. |

Its not just the exit from the FA Cup. It's the manner of the performance, particularly on top of recent games. We're up today against a low division club, which we have no divine right to win I accept, but surely we could have mustered something akin to a 'Premiership' team performance? But we can't, and I dont think we have in recent weeks. We never seem to have a plan B - e.g. every header today with Pericard was won by their guy but we still lob it up to Vinnie, we dont seem able to adjust or adapt.
Today shows we dont have a real game plan, so I feel we'll just get taken apart in the forthcoming Prem'ship fixtures and our time in top flight is a one season 'wonder'.

Here we go again let me just get comfy as i wait for the Pro-Pulis/Anti-Football brigade to say it's only a cup blah blah and look what he's done for the club.
Please keep the arse licking to yourselves it's tedious and you won't understand the effect this result will have on morale.
I owe nothing to Pulis for getting us here, he earns a tremendous amount of money and it's his job. If i did well one year and shit the next i'm sacked.
Pulis is devoid of any ability to take this team any further, he's stubborn, he's clueless his selection is bizarre to say the least... I'm no manager but i can see the long ball is tedious at best with Mamma on the pitch but without him it's just pathetic. No pace and no attacking ability, Fuller spends the game chasing endless ooompphh up front and when he does win it has no support, wonder why his attitude is shit? mine would be too.
He doesn't know any other way and any player bought into the club with a footballing brain will soon have it sapped out of him. Look what we have done to a talented forward in Kitson? He didnt become shit, he was made to look shit.
Footballers are taught from the earliest of age to pass the ball to feet, you're bought up with this mentality, they know how to do it. So it must be the management telling them as soon as you get it, hit it up front and see what happens.
No matter how many players we bring in it wont change our style of play and every team knows how to deal with it now. When was the last time the throw in was effective?
We won't win an away game all season.
Oh and to clarify it's not a knee jerk reaction to a piss poor result, i've felt the same since he came back he club and i want him gone.
He's spending the kind of money this club will never see again and if we go down, we'll stay down.

Oh and thinking about it i wouldnt sack Pulis i'd make him assistant manager. Bring in someone with a football brain who wants his team to play and it may make a good partnership?

Honestly i really don't know, after thinking about it though we need someone along side him to bring something fresh to the table, there is a place for Pulis but not on his own.
