I aint anti/pro pulis

[nantwichstokie]

Want to join my club and support Stoke City FC without fear of being sectioned as pro or anti !!??

We say when its good and give praise when its time to praise.

We say when its wank and blame who needs to be blamed.

My opinion on tonight is simple. The blame lies with Pulis. His failiure to play or even bring on Fuller was the primary reason we lost, coupled with other reasons - Dicko not starting for one.

It doesn't make me an anti just a realist. Thats how it was. However...

Its over now. Lets hope that he gets it right on Saturday. If he does I will say so. Simple as that.

I am fed up of coming on here and seeing little bitchy arguments. Lets wait and see what happens. At the end of the day we are still in the hunt so who knows.... 4 games left thats all. Can't we all just get behind them! Its just got harder to get auto but its not impossible.

Plus I have just spent 40 odd quid on tickets to cov and colchester so they better pull there act together

im with ya, we're not in the position many fans are - a shite manager, facing relegation, financial strife etc.

we've put a lot of wins together with an incomplete squad, we've also lost too many games we have enough quality to win. if pulis takes the heat for the last couple of months then he has to get the credit for what he's done well.

lets be honest about what we're lacking but get behind the team(and the manager) either way.at least til the end of the season. its not over yet!

Maybe "it's not over yet", Stokeypokey, but we're now in the position that we have to look out for other team's results in order to feel comfortable. This is a dire run we're on, and there's only one man to blame for that, a certain Mr Pulis.

He has the ability to build a squad. We should have gone up last season, but despite his ability to build a squad he has no idea of how to make a team.

That may cost us.

Old feelings are cominfg back to haunt me- ones that I didn't think I'd feel again... He'd be one hell of a Director but he's no manager.

I hope to Jehovah, Allah, Buddha and Thor I'm wrong.

fact is pulis is unproven at this level, never mind the level we all hope we can reach some time soon. hes made plenty of mistakes but he's also brought in some decent signings and got the best out of more than a few players who've struggled elsewhere. last night was painful, poor 11, confused in every position and it cost us the points.

but and ill make the point again- we have 4 games left, if pulis fucks it up then its open season as far as im concerned but we havent lost it yet. brizzie will be massive but watford, hull(i hope), brizzie and the bagmen will be dropping points, its the nature of the league and we've got a good run of games to build the confidence up. all the teams around us have had similar poor runs, only difference is our bad run has come when we proud stokies havent got the nerves to take it. so as newport stokie said
'We say when its good and give praise when its time to praise.

We say when its wank and blame who needs to be blamed'

we blame pulis for last nights debacle, no doubt, but we get behind the team(and that includes the manager) for the next 4 games and stop all this bullshit talk about sacking the man before the jobs seen through

p.s we've been in the position where we have to watch everyone else all season, and still would be if we'd smashed palace off the park. itll go right to the line imo and ill be on my feet till the final whistle against leicester

great post stokeypokey.

Everytime we fuck up or even win members on here come on to point score against others.

Sod that. Coventry is massive now. Lose that and we have bottled I am afraid, it really is last chance saloon.
