this evening I was out having a few beers with a guy called Joop Hendriks from a consultancy group associated with Ajax....
We got round to the influence of crowds and how this effects the mentality of players on the pitch which in consequence effects the performance of players on the pitch....
I'll say right now thst it doesnt work for all teams and set ups in every league but what the guy was saying made perfect sense.....
Just think about the following for just a moment.............
You're Beattie, shawcrooss, whlen, infact ANY player on the pitch and to have 10-15,000 + plus people shouting or singin your name would give you SUCH an adrenalin rush, it doesnt worththinking about in terms of belive, motivation and the will to win....
His words not mine......
Just take a step back EVERYBODY and think for a moment how it would feel to have ALL THESE PEOPLE BELIEVIENG in you, that they trust you to do well so THEY can feel good at the end of the weekend!
From listening to this guy and taking on board waht he said, it honestly doesnt bear thinking about the pressurethe players are under and I for one shall never berate any of the palyers OR TP again......!
For those who had myself earmarked for berating Pulis - I make areserved apology and to ask those who DO to just take a step back and think of the pressure the guy is under......
Fair play to all the players and staff I say
A REAL EYE OPENER!!!!!!!!!!!
This is coming from a chap that is arguably at one of the biggest clubs in european footaball

Penkhulll...when I was listening and I mean really LISTENING to the guy evrything about playing in front of crowds and theshit these paoyers have to tske week in week out made sense..... You get the odd cock here and there who think they are the dogs bollocks but in reality theyre just childish.. put them on the pitch and see how they handle it.. Ive given TP dsome grivef in pervious posts and I'll hold my hands up to it But to listen to this guy tonight and then thnk about going over the white line on a satruday afternoon doesnt bear thinking about...seriosuly! Good job Stoke dont play in brown shorts thats all I can say ;D |

Well that certainly explains why our home form has been so good.

I was thinking about the stick Pulis has got over the years, I actually think it's helped rather than hindered him, criticism is good as long as it's constructive, I think the criticism he got probably made him more determined to win to prove people wrong .

Well that certainly explains why our home form has been so good. If we follow that through at away games as we HAVE been doing then its another season in thtop flight...

PULIS & ROY KEANE.... spot the difference. keane got a fraction of the shit those knob heads give tone & fucked off pronto, pulis put up with it never said a bad word when he shut the twats up- thats a real manager-and pulis tells us at EVERY opportunity that the noise levels spur the boys on, we really are the 12th man.

Cityslciker.... fair comment and its a testament to the self control TP has in terms of NOT TURNING ROUND and saying BOLLOCKS to everyone.. I dont mind saying Ive been one of the people slaggin the guy off but not anymore and I sincerely mean that after listening to this guy, who incidently (sp) has worked with Rijkaard, van Basten, Gullit and Koeman.... |

Also Roy Keane is a lunatic who squares up to his players and knows about nothing but squandering money and kicking Scandinavians. I imagine Tony Pulis could give a Scandinavian a good kicking, mind. |
