I agree, I don't actually think he means to be patronising at all, it just sounds it. I'm sure he doesn't even know he's doing it. H Yet you still call him up on it? Actually yes, because it does sound fucking patronising, and if it sounds patronising to me it could certainly sound patronising to players, who might not give him the benefit that I do. Remember these players have very fragile ego's, and to be honest there isn't any real need to be calling them kiddies regardless of how old they are. H

Got to say RAF, you're struggling to find sticks to beat him with if you're resorting to that ;D ;D ;D ;D Incidentally I asked Ben Shephard what he though of TP and if he gave anything away off camera and he said; "He was brilliant, really honest, straight up and engaging. Nothing said off camera he didn't say on it. I really enjoyed meeting him"

"Smashing Kiddie" I thought 'god, how patronising is he?' ;D

Not that you have to of course, but you feel you need to anyway. I've just bumped into Ben Shepherd, I asked him what he thought of Northstokie , he said "Never met him" H

For what it's worth you can keep C.Cole he is a big fanny. The sight of the big girl chasing the ref to get fuller sent of at your place when he slapped Griffin sums him up. He aint fit to lace Fuller's boots. 12m quid fook me i will cry if we pay that for him Cheers we will keep Cole a striker who is much better than a ageing journeyman championship player who only managed 3 league goals in 22 games last year. I wonder what planet you nutjobs on here live on sometimes. Fuller is twice the FOOTBALLER cole is. His suspect temperment is the only reason he isn't at far bigger clubs than west ham and stoke. As i said cole aint fit to lace his boots. And while i am at it when two spurs players were fighting with each other a the brit last season what does Fuller do?? He pulls them apart and saves the pair of them gettin sent off. No crying to the ref like that jumped up little girl cole. Fuller has class.

Rob's right, some are quick to stick the boot in regardless

Rob's right, some are quick to stick the boot in regardless The only person making themselves look stupid is you. I'm not trying beat him with anything. In fact I've praised his interview on here , something that you choose to ignore, but pick up the point I made that I think to others his 'Kiddie' comments could look patronising , especially to a wider audience on SKY, and in light of us struggling to sign players of quality at the moment could possibly be detremental to the process.

You're certainly quicker to slap down the "rimmers" than the other lot. Who is this other lot you mention? I think if you look at my comments , if you can be arsed that is from most games last year I gave praise where it was due and criticism where it was due. Obviously IMHO. Don't get me wrong Rob I'm slightly right of centre in respect of TP and am maybe a bit more critical than some. I think that was born out of the extreme left of the so called rimmers saying he can do no wrong. And I'm sure they would say the same the other way around. One thing I will say is that when I get things wrong where Stoke City F.C and TP is concerned I'm always the first to put my hands up. Lets face facts, I was never on board with the Red Card protest, and have maintained it would be ridiculous to get rid of Pulis when others were calling for his neck. H

You keep digging with such unbelievably ludicrous comments like that one;
"I think to others his 'Kiddie' comments could look patronising , especially to a wider audience on SKY, and in light of us struggling to sign players of quality at the moment could possibly be detremental to the process"
Yes, because someone saying kiddie is going to put a player off joining us, I've fucking heard it all now, priceless ;D ;D ;D

H The other lot are the brains trust of the likes of Spiderman, Jarhead, Bowery Boy etc - "the far right" I guess, for whom Pulis is the antichrist, rather than the club's most successful manager in several decades. But fair enough.

"With the introduction of the 25-man squad rule, I think a lot of people are hanging on to see what squads are announced and then cherry-picking the players who haven't got in that 25."The 25-man squads aren't officially named until 5pm the day after the window shuts, are they? But I suppose you'll get a good guide from the first 3-4 matchday squads.
