Some people are just plain stupid.. A banner for an ex manager.. How did you think that makes Hughes feel? Pulis knows we are grateful. Now is not the time. We need all 3 points. The past is the past get behind the current manager!

So there can be no degrees of revelling in your past? If you've ever sang the name or applauded a former player you're a hypocrite for thinking that bringing big fuck-off I love you banners to the new place of work of the (generally excellent) former manager is a bit OTT? Come off it, it's not a one or the other situation and you know it.
I'm going to use that dirtiest of words on here again, way filthier than clartdanglets or shitpipe. Context. The context of the Fulham sing-song was revelling in the club's history over decades, singing about all kinds of players - that was, in general, about our pride history. This is hero worship for one man. One man who worked wonders for the club, but still, you seem to be suggesting that this swooning over him should take on festival proportions.
If any other forgotten hero returned they get a good ovation and then attentions turn fully to the task at hand. Why shouldn't that be enough this weekend?

We all know why people are getting their knickers in a twist and it aint pretty. |

Much deserved.
It was right when he left. But he thoroughly deserves the applause we should give him

Tony Pulis banners disrespectful to mark Hughes. FFS if Hughes even finds it in the slightest disrespectful then he should ship the fuck outta there ASAP. Heaven forbid he should find it disrespectful for stoke fans to show their appreciation for a bloke that goes down in history as one of our finest. Also those fans that want to show their respect have been around supporting their club a damn sight longer than a certain mark Hughes would ever be. How is it disrespectful? You'd think if anything it would be a motivator to your fanbase to treat managers who have created a stable atmosphere here at stoke so he could have even better success in his tenure. There is admiration and theres motivation and how it crosses into personal attacks or Pulis vs Hughes as most of you see it is childish in the manner of one vs the other as in better or worse is beyond me. That is the ultimate Cringeworthy thing on this thread, one thing is for sure change is constant and with it united strength is stronger. Give TP his due, but in the same manner to the love in at Palace do it but get over Tone and move on its really getting old... |

I'm not suppressing anything, I just don't see why people are desperate to bring massive love letters. You yourself wouldn't take a banner. Why's that? |

What about this banner.. "Mr Pulis, Please return the £110m you wasted, we need it this January" Nobodys saying that, no hate against Pulis personally he gave his all for our club he deserves a respectful clap when he runs past. Its just he left the club last year and its dragging on now. |

I'll give you Tazi for a starter. I find the banners a little disrespectful to Hughesy as well if I'm honest. H I want stoke to beat palace them both of is to stay up. You really are a fcuking tool. I'm sorry, you'll have to try again in English. H |

This would be the norm at any other club, As for me bringing a banner, if Stanley Matthews was riding down the road on the back of Neil Franklin with Scholes head on a stick, whilst Ricardo Fuller, Dennis Smith and Alan Hudson scattered posies in their path, I wouldn't even get me pen out |

I don't think Tony Pulis would bat an eyelid at a banner before the game. He'll be focused on 3pts for his team, as he should be. Cursory acknowledgement of the stoke supporters prior to k.o because its us, maybe. If anything, the banner displayed at the end would be more appropriate as the battle is done and its time for mutual respect. the banner would probably show stoke supporters as a respectful bunch. Be a bit odd If palace have won 3-0 then we get a banner out though!
Football is less aggressive than it used to be. Players don't just shake hands anymore after games. Hugs n kisses, shirt swapping, chatting, smiling (even if you've lost.. wtf!) are all the norm. Little mini handshakes between opposing players after a tussle as a gesture of mutual respect... Not celebrating if you score against your old club etc..
this banner is part of the above. Some prefer the ' be a mans man, stiff upper lip' approach. Quick clap is enough then bollocks to you. Others are more comfortable making a bigger gesture....

I'm a session ticket holder and have been for years and years and it's usually my big fucking mouth trying get a song or fcuking two going. So, what's your fcuking point?. |

Like you, I personally wouldn't do that for anyone,and I think it's weird that any grown-up would. It's just going that bit further than a pissed-up sing-song about all the old boys. I have no problem with Tone being weaved into another rich tapestry of various odes to former greats in the future. We can sing all those famous old songs about him that so regularly rang out around the ground.  |
