Pulis is a classless twat - screeching like a child all night BUT.. he was the only reason we were promoted in the first place... He was always verbal granted but the level of histrionics and goading of the officials has gone off the scale since those days where he was more gracious - all IMHO of course

Wow it’s incredible that years after he unceremoniously left the club following a steady decline, people still rather talk about Tony Pulis than their own club. It’s really sad.

Tony Pulis.....the final historical link to the Dave Bassett philosophy of football. ......what short memories some people have, all of those away games in his last 18 months when he had no ambition to win a game and when we went behind NOTHING changed tactically. Just because attrition and scorched earth policy worked for the Russians against Napoleon and Hitler doesn't mean I want to see football played that way. The only change he has made to his approach over his career is that his team's now play with more gamesmanship and negative game management to kill the momentum of games even more. I don't hate the man because I'll always be grateful to him for that first season in the premiership when every game felt like the battle of Rourke's drift and we played with such passion and commitment but that was a long time ago and to counter balance that was all of those mind numbing games when his only ambition was for a 0-0. We really need to move on now because he's like a very dark and damp cloud hanging over the club.

Who managed our team to get us there? Pulis should be respected for a fine period of our history and no true Stoke fan should hate him for all his did for us. But it is history and we should move on now.

There is so much anger, so much hate, so many vile comments, whether its Maclean or Pulis, Scoles, the manager or the owner. Wheres the love gone for our Stoke City, wheres the crowd singing and support, through good and difficult times. For someone who has followed them since my first game in 1963, I am appalled by some of the remarks made on social media, even Maclean is now adding wood to the embers. I like reading and taking part in this forum but constant whinging and back biting will only degenerate into more negative energy, which in turn leads to misery. There Ive said it.

We've got a rival now haven't we. Gary really is his baby. Sadly we have Afobe, the idle, useless fucking shit! Didn’t your parents teach you not to think on an empty head ?

True but if your going to watch shit you might as well watch it from the relative comfort of the top 6 or even top half therefore of both versions of utter garbage I’m afraid Gary comes second in a two horse race by just under half a league . Yeah cuz we were always rooted in the top six under Pulis weren't we. Just think that through , 1 He is now in the top 6 2 we spent most of our time in a higher division after he got us promoted 3 it wasn’t a Pulis complement it simply said as managers capable of producing turgid shit he is actually marginally better

Turgid shit is fine if it gets results. It can be a means to an end. When it doesn’t work, it’s dreadful to watch. At the moment you would have to say that the Boro fans will tolerate it as they’re up there competing, and at the moment we’re unhappy because we’re not competing. That’s about the long and short of it.

Did give me a wry smile and recollection when at 0-0 away with 10 minute# to go he left his £25m of centre forwards on the bench
