I never suggested anything different. What's the big deal? Pulis is doing his job well, thus getting paid well for it and in this climate in a managerial position that lets face it is safer than most other jobs outside of football.

big percentage
but hey....who cares
I hope I've given up my w*nkstainery for good.
I admit I was a founder member and still cannot completely give my heart and soul to the bloke, but even the most ardent PHW has got to acknowledge he is doing a tremendous job at the moment.
And long may it continue.

i've completely changed my mind about pulis. he has clearly, clearly learned during the season and has conducted himself with enormous dignity. the comment after that guardian article comparing the midfield on premier league day one (faye, diao, olofinjana, delap) with the one at west brom (lawrence, whelan, delap, etherington) is spot on. i know it's "only" west brom, but who honestly though we'd see that sort of creativity away from home, if not ever! plus I had a tenner on stoke to win 2-0 at 16/1 and i had £2.50e/w on Mon Mome - i'm giving Pulis the credit for that too

It wasn't that bad.
Yes, there were bad games but the PHW's went overboard because they loathed him.
This hatred has given way to 'can't give my heart and soul', 'he's still a cunt', 'still can't warm to him', 'I still don't like him...kind of bollocks.
It such a shame for you that your one dimensional outlook from the beginning has cost you from enjoying a manager.
Enjoying your manager makes such a difference as the Macari years showed.
To be honest, the PHW deserves pity. Not only have they shown themselves to be incredibly thick, but they struggle to fully embrace a manager that has done quite a bit for us.

Coates gave him money and granted he's done remarkably well to take us where he has - well done Tony. Suddenly we have first season 'we're in the Prem' jeyboys saying he's an enigma, turned water into wine and telling us thickies that no other manager could have done the same job. My arse. Ask yourself why isn't he as popular as Lou Macari, despite doing considerably better and playing a similar style. You can only come up with one answer - he's a cunt.

I'll tell you what is incredibly thick. Someone getting pissed then not noticing I was recording them telling us all that they hated Pulis, then having the temerity to call people PHW's. Now who could that fucking thick twat be? Answers on a postcard to me. H

Pugsley, my dear Pulis Hating Cuntflap
This Rimmer never stated that no one else could do it.
I just wasn't on the verge of suicide when he returned as I actually thought he had a reasonable chance of getting us in the playoffs if he was properly backed. Direct, percentage football with good and relevant players will always give you that chance.
Neither was I forecasting the death of the club like you clowns - this is why you now look so utterly thick and stupid. Live with it and learn your lesson.
No point using the Pulis turns water into wine malarky with me - I've never said anything such thing.
I hope you will be more humble if TP eventually keeps us up - I'm sure it was you that said it would be a greater achievement to keep us in this league than actually getting us promoted in the first place. I can hardly wait for your thread of 'Congratulations Supertone' if it does happen. ;D
Raf - Do you still live at 69 Cunt's Lane, Cuntsville, Cuntshire CL1 NT1? I'll send the postcard asap.

Lakeland Potters earlier post on this thread is an excellent analysis.
Tony Pulis isn't an enigma, he's virtually the opposite. He has a straightforward approach to the so-called "results business". Get the best results you possibly can with the resources at your disposal.
In addition, apart from the binary season where he was at odds with the Icelandics, he has improved the team, squad and league position with each season.
Since PC came back, we have had everybody at the club singing from the same hymn sheet for probably the first time in about 35 years, and that makes a huge difference.
I agree that he's a decent bloke. Signing Rory on a handshake despite his broken leg, not slating the linesman after he didn't give a Ryan Shawcross goal in a 3-2 defeat at St Mary's.
He handles himself well in the media, but like all winners, sometimes his disappointment and frustration comes through in interviews right after the game.
Finally, watching Stoke at home, especially in the last couple of seasons has been a pleasure. Exciting football that has produced results beyond my wildest dreams.
Some of you need a reality check and to get over yourselves. Tone is yet again proving people wrong and doing what he does best in this "Results Business" - he is overachieving.

There were plenty of those from the so called PHW's when we got promoted and I'm sure there will be more if he keeps us up. I thinks it's the daft cunts like you that don't listen Merk that keep banging their daft gums.
P.S , Yes that is still my address so I'll expect the postcard in a day or 2.

Pulis has worked wonders at stoke and its about time he got some serious credit. We were on the bring of relegation when he came in and he turned us round completely. The style of football might not be to every1s liking but it has produced the results

No where enough from you wankstains given your initial outlook on proceedings.
You've all fucked it now though with your continual bleatings as soon as we are on the wrong end of an away result.

am i missing something here?
what is the point of expending the energy in hating someone that you dont know? ... or sticking up for him regardless, again when you dont know him?
hes the manager, hes doing a good job now, he didnt do too well in the past and he probably wont do too well at some point in the future.... and as spiderman so eloquently put it, where the manager is concerned - the ends justify the means.
scrapping amoung ourselves will change nothing will it?

His record was mixed when he arrived, and his first spell can hardly be described as "shite" given he took us from relegation-tipped also-rans to firmly-established, tough to beat Championship side. The binary stuff was awful, true, but the season before that and keeping us up the year before that were both decent.

Hey guys, we're doing well in the league towards the end of the season, so let's start a pointless PHW - Rimmer war just as some rifts are starting to heal.
Brilliant thinking. Bravo.
