SU4 JB STOKIE...based on the evidence we've seen this season at The Brit, I don't think any reasonable person would agree with you. Of the teams that have come here, I reckon only Chelsea have put us firmly in our place. Three of the world's best teams, Manure, Arse and L'pool have been reduced to ordinary because of the size of the pitch and our ability to close them down and stop them playing the fantastic football they are capable of. It's simple really. Trebor, I was paying your hero a compliment when I said he was a devious bastard. Are you so paranoid about worshipping him that you can't see a compliment when you see one? I know you've lost the argument the moment you bring good old fat Bossie into the equation. It's a classic rimmer diversionary tactic to deflect any criticism away from Mein Fuhrer. Sheik and Mumf use it regularly. The difference between them and you is that they are witty and you are downright vitriolic. You need to work on your witticisms. Paul, keep working on the telepathy. See if you can persuade him to loosen up a bit away from home. Although it's a bit late in the day, the Baggies game would be a great time to start. Doz, my apologies. It's difficult on an ethernet to judge the thoughts of other posters unless you are familiar with them away from it. I know many on here personally and that's why I can be acidic with some and get away with it. It's why I refuse to be personal against Trebor. I'm sure if he knew me and I knew him, we'd have a better understanding. You must learn how to use smilies though. They're great for conveying meaning. To those who say Pulis is not intelligent is silly. Whatever else he may be, a lack of intelligence is not something I would hang around his neck. Pulis is a very deliberate person and he doesn't do anything without a reason. Bassmaster...it takes one to know one. Wizzard...why did you have to shoot my theory down with Pericard? That was below the belt and I owe you one big style now. OS.

I wasn't attempting to be witty and certainly wasn't attempting to divert attention from Pulis! Why would I try and divert attention away from the achievments of one of the clubs most successful managers? Only the bitterest of people would refuse to acknowledge how good he's been for the club. And as for Boscamp much as I thought he was a complete plonker I'd have loved him to have proved me wrong, sadly he didn't!

Who knows, does he ?
Would love to see the pitch back to normal size again next season. Might work for us and against us the way it is at the moment, as we have to play on full size pitches away from home.

As it happens the pitch at Everton was probably smaller than ours! I listened to TP's interview yesterday and he confirmed my thoughts. The players are ignoring his instructions to defend positively ie the pace of Stoke's game in the first half was too slow When asked by Nigel if the players were therefore ignoring his instructions TP angrilly retorted that it was not that simple .....er?

Somebody posted the other day that it is one of the widest pitches in the premier league.
On inspection yesterday, I would say that it is bigger than our pitch by some margin ?

If we stay up at the end of the season 2 of the main contributors to saving the drop will be the narrow pitch and the home atmosphere...we play tighter have rory's throws and the player are urged forward by the crowd. So credit to Pulis for the narrowing of the pitch tactic. As for TP being a gambler????!!!....I would be stunned if he ever had more than 10p each way on the national...its just not in his nature. Stubborn cusses dont gamble otherwise he would have tried different tactics and formations away from home or go for 3 pts. I too hope he doesnt go defensive in the 6 pointers if we do we will definitely be in the shite
