Always quick to criticise and never prepared to praise. We played well today and should have won. Suddenly Watford are an ordinary side despite being at the top all seaon.
They'll be well happy with a point.
In my opinion they all played well today and the team and Pulis deserve more credit

I'd agree with that, but thought the support at the game today was spot on. I think some people are only happy when they're moaning though, and they see a 0-0 scoreline as an opportunity to dig into Pulis.   |

I'm anti-Pulis, but today i thought we competed well and created plenty of oppurtunities to win. I was even entertained both halves of the match. A goal celebration would have been nice just to get bloody warm, mind.

I'm pleased that we got a point. I think I would've taken that before kick-off to keep the run going.
I'm delighted with 11 points from 15.
I'm delighted with the players' efforts, both today and in recent matches generally.
No wider dig at Pulis, but I thought it was a desperately poor game today, bereft of any quality.

i thought on reflection we deserved a lot more than just praise and 1 point from today im no fan of pulis but if he can get this squad through till Jan he might just pull it off thats no reflection on him as a manager it a sad reflection on how poor this league is this season so if hes every gonna get us promoted hes got a perfect opportunity this season
well done lads keep it up

So far, so good.
Let's just hope we see some real transfer activity in January.
If Watford are the benchmark for an ugly, functional, potentially promotion-winning(?) team, today surely proved promotion is up for grabs - even for little old us.

Its easy to say its a poor league, and its a comment that you tend to hear every season, particularly when Stoke are doing well.
Football is about defending as well as attacking and I thought the defence were superb today, particularly when you think that Diko ond Zak havent been in the side.
In midfield we looked much better with Pugh playing there and I thought he had a great game.
To be 5th at this stage is a great achievement given what we have spent. Pulis' management skills has helped to develop a great spirit throughout the squad.
Pity Ricardo didnt put his two chances away today but the move for the first one was great football.
Say what you like about the set up at Stoke but when you look at the likes of Cardiff, Leicester and Coventry and then consider the money spent by Wolves,Watford, Sheff Utd Hull etc I know who I would rather support.
Proud of the lads today ;D ;D ;D

Only one team out to win today, and it wasn't Watford. Two points dropped-not lost- as with just a smidgeon of luck we coiuld have chalked up another 3 goaler.
Still can't beleive we're getting negative posters after the way we are shaping up, but I suppose when posters say they are 'anti Pulis-, it says it all.
They are so blinded by their paranoia, they can't see much good in any result.

A good all round effort, a great atmosphere. Left the ground thinking we had dropped 2 points not gaining one. With a bit of luckwho knows where we'll end up. GOOOAAAAAANNN STOKE!  |
