I don't expect the Birmingham Mail to give Stoke any credit but I must say we played better football than them today and outbattled them. We were short of a bit of penetration, but never in danger of losing. The best West Brom could have got was a draw, only if we did not score. Thought we played it around better today . Well done all round. we needed the points today.

They at least battled a bit today and it looked like they had nicked a point, but alas we won with a wonderful goal.

The Express and Star are still peddling the same old rubbish. I assume their reporter wasn't actually at the game.

Strangely, considering we're now in the top flight that was probably the worst display from the Boggies I've seen in many a year.
They have absolutely no cutting edge and always look like conceding despite us not really being at the races.
They were far more physical than usual and deserved several yellow cards, they say imitation is the best form of flattery so if we are as dirty as they would have you believe they had a good go at emulating if not surpassing us.

A little snippet from the Excuse and Star's post match verdict: "But the Baggies coped well with the home side’s main attacking weapon and generally defended confidently against Stoke’s dangerous setpieces. That solid defending nulified the home side for much of the afternoon as their long ball approach failed to bring rewards. But Albion failed to get their own passing game going and were unable to carve out enough chances of their own." How much longer are they going to peddle this shit?  |

Miller was, well, big and their moveent in attack, especially in the box, was far better than ours, but so what, we scored they didn't

We were poor - first 45 minutes worst I've seen for ages - but they were even worse. Second half was much better by both sides, but we were still the better team - I can only remember 2 saves Sorro had to make, and 1 of those the whistle had gone for offside. As for that miss by their No. 20 in the second half -  |

Dont kid yourselves. Today was a terrible match between two very poor teams, both of who will be relegated come May.

Speak for yourself, you may have given up but we are a long way from throwing in the towel. It's easy to say "you're going down as well" but I think we have MUCH more chance of staying up than you. |

Did anyone see Soro get his deck chair out in the second half?
And why do the Baggies insist on lumping aimless balls up the pitch?
Footballing side my fucking arse.

Baggies wouldn't have scored if they played 'til Christmas......2009. That's the worst Albion performance I've seen for many years here, and it's sure had some competition! Useless. I like how Prof. Mowbray says he could never see how STOKE were going to score  We looked far more likely than your insipid, lightweight incompetents, Tone. Must agree with you on the "dross" game comment though www.wba.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/0,,10366~1463612,00.html |

Only one moment of quality in the entire game. Fortunately it was from us and that was the difference between the two teams today.

Definately worst game of the season so far, but what the fuck - three more points tucked away and a six point cushion over the Boing Boings
It only needs one incisive move to win a game like that
We had it they didnt - end of

www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/3501697/Mamady-Sidibe-header-continues-Stoke-Citys-impressive-home-record-Football.htmlThere was no doubting the importance of this result to those involved, but the standard was dreadfully poor, particularly in the first half and Mowbray said: "It was a dross game of football. All that matters in the eyes of some is the results and you know my philosophy and beliefs. I like to entertain supporters that pay their hard-earned money but that was very difficult to do." When Mowbray's claim that the match was "dross" was put to Pulis, the Stoke manager said: "He's got to speak for his side but people say there are different philosophies in what we do. I thought we played some good football and they didn't have a shot on goal so I can understand where Tony's coming from."

Is Mowbray after sainthood or something?
What a tool.

So Mowbray Dick wants to see entertainment without worrying about winning? Perhaps the Haarlem Globetrotters will suit him? I liked Pulis' comments about their wonderful football, pass backwards, pass square, backwards again and square.
