Second best manager in the 150 year history of our club who was 90 minutes away from becoming its best ever.
SCFC legend and above all else a top top man.

I just hope that those who do not wish to take part in the Tony Pulis events during the day, do not try & spoil it for the others, by booing, abusing kicking or punching each other.
You may think this is an odd request, but its not.

the people who worked in the every day running of the club so the club could function and the medical team who helped keep the players fit and well to wall the coaching staff and grounds men and every person who help the club to function in every day runnings from cleaners to ticket staff .and dont forget everyone who puts money into the club so it could invest in the players who got us here ..and most of all to all the fans who brought shirts and season tickets and played there hard eraned cash and sat in the ground every week shouting and screaming for there team pushing them on for 3 points...with out all these people stoke city couldn't function and wouldn't of been sucessful.every body contributed to where the club is now as part of a big family and team .it wasn't purely down to pulis it was down to everyone part of a big family and team .pulis was a part of the bigger picture So by that logic you shouldn't publicly thank soldiers for risking their lives in the call of duty unless you also thank the people who wash their kit? Since when did the Army have people doing their washing for them? I'll tell you, never. H |

Are the banners not going a bit far? Can't we just give him a clap and a cheer on his way to the dugout and then crack on with the game? I agree Rob, however the sycophant rollercoaster has already set off! I think it will just make us look sad an the Palarse fans will be pissing themselves at us. H |

To be fair, it was Pulis who saved us from relegation from the Championship. Had we gone down, I doubt we would have recovered. We certainly wouldn't be where we are today. I just think a clap is more than sufficient, that's all. his appointment saved us i remember when he took over we was in the shit..how many players did he bring in before we was out the shit? what happend was when he was appointed the fans and players had a new believe about we was going away games going nuts the atmosphere at home was mental .in whcich the same players who was getting us in the shit started to give more effort and with the fans pushing them on everything turned around ..wasnt just down to pulis again like i said in past posts it was down to everyone even you and me ..and if i remember correctly he even credited it to the fans Slogger. Are you Robocop ? Judging by the picture and the way you deliver your pearls of wisdom to the masses, may I suggest a Software Upgrade..... Please don't take offence, I am not being Robo-phobic.  |

Funny isn't it that the 'It's all about Hughesy and Stoke on Saturday' are largely the ones who couldn't bring themselves to sing Pulis's name when he was our manager! Stoke fans, kings of the fucking hypocrites. Stoke fans have got behind virtually every manager we have had and sang his name loudly. Except one - the supposed best manager we have ever had. Work that one out Poirot. |

Some folk will never appreciate the work pulis did for stoke. I was one saying enough is enough and his times up but let's not forget where we were when he took over and where we are now. Can't people remember back in the championship days when it was pulis who went to coats asking for offers to be put on so the ground could be full? The 5 quid ticket offers etc at the time when a lot of people in stoke were on there arses they could still go the match! Then we have promotion, a cup final, European football. My god think back and remember the games at Southend, Oxford, Luton, Mansfield, Stockport etc etc. We dreamed of being in the top league and now here we are! Fans who have supported stoke city a long time and are present on Saturday will be the ones applauding and appreciating the job pulis did. Those who say fuck pulis imo are the so called johnny come latelys. I'm not saying have a pulis love in, but my god show some class, applaud the man for a great job he did. Then get behind the lads and sparky and help them get 3 points That is a very dangerous assumption to make. I was there for all of those games. I can remember our abysmal showing in a 1-0 defeat away at Southend with Pulis at the helm and I can remember all manner of shitty visits to shitty places with him as our manager as well. I can also remember trips to Luton, Mansfield and Stockport with other managers leading us. Will I be wanking myself silly over seeing TP running down the touchline in Crystal Palace colours? Will I bollocks. Will I be giving him a song? Will I bollocks. Will I give him a nice round of applause? Maybe, maybe not. Depends how pissed I am as to whether I make it to the ground before the game kicks off and before he comes running out of the tunnel. I'll be at Palace to support my team and I hope others are there to do the very same thing. I suspect there will be trouble in the away end on Saturday with Stokies fighting amongst themselves. It is an absolute given if we are losing and the dickheads amongst our ranks start giving it the old "we should never have got rid of him" bollocks. I can hardly wait! As someone said above, we are currently setting about sorting out the mess that TP left behind and that should not be forgotten on Saturday either. |

And Stafford, who hates homosexuals, would be first!   I can just imagine all the rimmers on their knees surrounding Pulis while he cracks one off over all their faces,all of them with their mouths open like baby Starlings waiting for their mothers to return with some worms How does a thread about a banner thanking Tony Pulis before a match somehow transform into you describing some sort of fucked up gay bukakke orgy?

This is all a little too sickly don’t you think, verging on embarrassing?
I never liked the man or the football, but will be forever grateful for those trips to Wembley and Europe.
He deserves respect, even if for his last 18 months with club I wanted nothing more than to see the back of him. There are things he shouldn’t be forgiven for in my opinion.
I’ll clap him at the end.
Seriously though - banners…?
No one died.
I’m sure most of the people with banners couldn’t care less but let’s spare a thought for Mark Hughes.
I support Stoke City and that’s bigger than any player or manager.
Let’s not forget that.

Only at Stoke would people not only celebrate but worship mediocrity, depressing. £100 million but whats the odd 20 mill between friends. Other than that, 100% bang on the fucking money. Is £100 million that bad for 5 years of premiership football (as well as getting us there) really that bad? He made some bad buys, no question, but he made some good ones. (Begovic will also recoup a lot, if not all, of the 20 million that you feel the need to point out). Premiership mediocrity is a world of difference from lower championship obscurity. Success is relative: he was very successful at stoke I can't see how anybody could argue, and how any stoke fan could fail to appreciate it. We now have chance to build on the strong foundations that he and his team helped to build. (I agree that it was time for him to go; I'm fully behind Hughes; that doesn't mean that Pulis is not a stoke legend!) |

You thank everyone or no-one? |

I don't get it. Its an opportunity to show what class we have as fans and recognize the contribution of a key figure in an amazing period for us as a club. Agreed - and an applause and song after the game is not enough how?A figure who showed throughout his tenure how special he felt our club was. and similarly reciprocated throughout by the fans Who took personal tragedy in his stride and put his job at the forefront of his life.....arguably too much. yes, and something which so many people have to do with their own lives too. not sure how it could be argued that he did it 'too much' thoughSince leaving he has shown nothing but total respect and gratitude to the club and fans. Which he will do when asked about us in press conferencesNobody expects supporters to support Pulis and not Hughes or Stoke. Its not about that, its about appreciation and mutual respect followed by a demonstration of the support Pulis himself praised on countless occasions. we're there for a football game and we should be doing everything to get the three points before and during the game. Appreciation and mutual respect through an ovation, applause and a song at the end of the game will achieve thatAnybody who can't see that is either thick as shit, agenda driven or a bit of an arse. Most likely all three. Or just simply has a different opinion to you, who is one of the most agenda driven arses on here! If you can't see that its other peoples opinion, then you are also thick as shit tooThanks to all involved in the banners and all who will, I'm sure, represent SCFC, Mark Hughes, the players and fans in the best light at the match. As will an ovation, applause and song at the end of the game tooGo on then....what's my agenda? I'd love to know. |

I only have one hope for Saturday. That hope is Tony Pulis shuffling around in front of the camera's offering excuses after him and his team have been knocked into the middle of next week.
Unless the banner's have "Mark Hughes' barmy army" on them, or some other derivative of that, then you can shove them where the sun doesn't shine.
Tony Pulis has been and gone, wore the T-Shirt and taken it back off again. He's had his chance in the dugout and he now sits in a dugout of a side that is trying to take three points from us on Saturday, and make no bones about it, he would love to smash us for 4, 5 or 6.
Football is football and business is business.
Three points please Hughesy.

Returning players, returning coaches. etc. Hold a sign up, give them a standing ovation, game starts and they're the enemy. No harm, no foul. Watching copius amounts of porn is something I encourage all of humanity to do, btw. |
