It's not too much to ask is it?

I genuinely believe he has the players he wants lined up ready for January.
I've never been sure that he knows what he is doing, until now.

I'm not knocking Tony at all at the moment, i think he's doing brilliantly.
But why don't we sign these people now?

I was surprised as well to be honest. I do honestly believe that they have got enough to stay clear of trouble, especially with McBride due back soon. I think he's a victim of circumstance (collins) as much as anything else.
I still don't think Sanchez is up to much though, but the players he bought were decent ones.

Where's Ian bleating on about these "old school" managers when you need him?

I don;t care what he says, Pulis can do little wrong at the moment as far i'm concerned.
I'm proper happy to be a Stokie right now, particularly surrounded by Baggies fans terrified of a trip to play those "nasty-wasty men from Stokey-Wokey"

I admit that until recently i wouldn't sing his name, but he is doing well and the feeling around the ground is quite unlike his first period, and indeed unlike anything that we have experienced for a long time.
I look forward to singing his name with gusto when we go 3 up on saturday.

I think there is a possibility that Pulis has learned his lesson, that he genuinely sees Phillips & De Laet as part of the team moving forward and that at the moment it's hard to change things because everything is working well.
I've not seen Phillips much, but Cressie is doing well and Pugh seems settled at LB. Perhaps for certain situations we could drop Sid & push Cressie up but we are going well, and bar the Central Midfield everyone deserves their place at present.

By rights, if we sign Glenn Whelan, Ryan Shawcross & Wayne Routledge we'll go up.
I'm entrusting the board to be absolutely ready when the time comes.

As well as that Andy, it seems the chief protagonists on either side of the divide (HudsonGod & Ian) have not found their way over here, which means less ridiculously loaded arguments and less ill-feeling.

I think you could be right.
I think it coincided with a realisation from the manager that this division wasn't up to much, and that if we had a go, a real go then we would have every chance.
I went to Blackpool and (naughtily) sat in the home end, and they were blown away by our performance and said to me (after i considered it safe to reveal myself) we were the best side they had seen this season. We always seemed to have an extra gear if required.
We need Diao in alongside two QUALITY midfielders & Lawrence. Move Cressie up front with Ricci and use Sidibe as an impact player for the last 20 minutes I think Coates is gearing himself up for a spend and i'm really starting to consider the impossible, that Stoke City may end up in Premier League next season.
Delap is hopeless however. This is a fact.

In fairness to the supporters though Sal, he is a Gaylord*.
It's not so much unconditional abuse, more a statement of fact. Sol's problem is that he is SO sensitive, the big gay bear*.

Bayern,
I have found that Scousers in particular are quick to gob off on a variety of subjects, yet give them some back and they are quick to complain.
The reason people think that they are a thieving, carjacking, idiotic, racist, shanty-town dwelling bunch of wankstains is because, in actual fact, they are just that. And no amount of Jimmy McGovern "dramas" produced to show the contrary will change that.

Sal,
I think there's a broader point than that. It seems that the modern footballer is so disconnected from the supporters who pay their wages that a leading player is now requesting players don't get abused. The game is driven by passion and whilst i agree whole-heartedly that a line must be drawn in terms of colour/sexual preference etc, i see no reason to remove my right to tell a player he's wank.
It's a slippery slope from there.

Yes, but he definitely* used to bum Matthew Upson, so i imagine all the rest is probably true.

Depending on which end he plays then, Young must have the sorest Bell-End/Arsehole this side of the Pink Flamingo.

It appears Will Young is the male equivalent of Gemma Atkinson.
He's obviously the "bum de jour" for the modern Professional Footballer/Gaylord.

Now i heard Will Young was bumming West ham's Matthew Upson.
Admittedly, this information came from a Villa mate when Upson was at Blues but it was a big rumour in Birmingham for a while.
I reckon Ashley Cole take sit up the shitter as well. There was WAY too much protesting about that silhouette if you ask me.

For £100,000 a week they could shout what the fuck they liked
"Oi Dixie, you're fucking wank you dickhead"
"Yep, but you should see the size of my mum's house"
Sol's upset because he's a bummer and he doesn't like people knowing.

And he did undervalue Hoefkens by £400,000 (or as near as makes no odds).
Let's not turn it into a Pulis-bashing exercise, but it's clear Pulis wasn't his biggest fan. His childish jumping up & down when he lost the ball was testament to that.

Where would this leave Shawcross? Is he likely to be recalled if Evans goes to jail for some illegal buggery?
In all seriousness the whole thing is so implausible. Fact is, these blokes get pretty much any woman they want without having to do anything more than lob their wallet out. Whatever happens, if this lad is innocent then he is going to have this millstone round his neck for the rest of his career. Imagine playing at Sunderland with 50,000 unwashed mackems telling you you're a fucking rapist. I bet he cannot wait to break into first-team football now.
