I just can't help but laugh at the last remaining PHW. They really should support WBA. BTW you may not know that our Messiah is on 99 wins (league and cups) and Saturday could be his 100th as manager..............time to crack open the Champers. You may throw the empties at the likes of Pugsey and OldStokie as they walk heads bowed from the party, Should we really go and support someone else? I don't think so mate. In fact there are rimmers who have actively supported another team that Pulis was managing AND wanting defeat for Stoke City while Pulis was not in charge. I suggest Alan you fucking do one. No, I never give a sucker an even break. You deserve all the ridicule you get.

Sutekh, you have been one of the worst tossers, here's one of the thousand or so examples.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I honestly believe that some of the players realise that pulis is out of his depth in the prem and that some of their team mates are too. The club is floundering around with no leadership on and off the pitch and a lack of discipline that in itself is quite worrying.

Well said.
My thoughts about Pulis are summed up by a Gillingham fan who came on the old Rivals board just after we'd installed him as manager back in 200? and said "Pulis will keep you up. He'll quickly suss out who the bluffers are and get rid of them".
If that doesn't sum him up I don't know what does. A man who produces a team to fight to the last minute. It may not be pretty, so if that's not your bag, fair enough don't go to the games, maybe watch WBA or Arsenal instead until we change to a more flowing, attractive style. No problems with that at all.
Me, I can't believe I'm watching Premier League football and might be doing it again next season. (Not tempting fate see!) I have loved every second of every home game and that's thanks to Pulis, Coates and the players. (Oh, and a little nod to us too!)

Don't kid yourself, these tossers never let an opportunity go to rub our noses in it when we have a few bad results, let us remember that those who want us to win are ALWAYS on the good side. Can anyone remember MOTD after the Middlesbrough game? You know, the game where our supporters were 'Lorded' as totally behind their club and how they would NEVER boo their own players etc. Well most of us knew that to be utter crap and, unlike Baggies fans, most of us don't blindly swallow our own hype. We have built a reputation this season as fantastic supporters who give unswervibg support to our manager and players. That has been completely accurate in terms of match day support but I am reminded of the proverbial swan. All calm, serean and beautiful above the water, but just below the surface there is a cancerous decease just waiting to destroy the unity that the past two seasons have instilled into this club. I'm not going to use the silly terms that have been invented for this stand-off but many of those who initially made their opposition and/or dislike of the manager abundantly clear, have had the good grace to acknowledge his achievements (if sometimes reluctantly). On the other hand, those who have always admired and supported the man, have often gone too far in over-stating their case and in condemning his detractors. I have fallen into this catagory myself at times as a result at frustration at some of the more vociferous negativity. Enlightened, inteligent debate is a great thing but reading the last couple of pages of this thread is just incredibly depressing for anyone who delights in the 'new-found' unity of purpose at this club. The two camps are completely and utterly polarised and are simply searching for any and every excuse to justify their stance. this is NOT debate, it is a childish cancer that will eventually eat away at our club and, especially when results are bad, will explode into outright hostility with both camps sacrificing the good of the club to score points in the battle to be proved right. If many in our midst are so dis-united at this fantastic and historic time for our club, what chance when the going gets tougher. So with my usual niaivity, I would ask that these totally unimportant and damaging child-like squabbles be set aside in the better interests of our unity of purpose i.e. proving to the world that Stoke City fans are much, much better than this! Some will NEVER be whole-hearted in their positive appraisal of the manager, the rest of us have to accept that and respect an opposite opinion to our own. Those that can see no wrong EVER in the manager's decisions are equally infuriating the those with an opposite view. Can we please just accept the 'other guy's opinion' and put an end to this bollocks. Debate by all means, even take the piss if it's funny, but this thread has degenerated into a play ground squabble that is not worthy of supporters that we know we are. we ALL love this club and we All want what is best for the club. We may differ on what that might be but this pathetic slanging match really should be put to bed.

Even the most ardent Pulis hater, must concede, (several of the fucktards don't) that he instills great team spirit and his team will die for him. Unfortunately these admirable traits are underpinned with a general lack of quality (for which he's pretty much entirely to blame.)
If the spirit goes then we really will see a house of cards.
Homo, the team did die again for him today, it was there for all to see. Shame they were too busy dying instead of making at least some effort to win a fotball match.

One thing I hate about this board is that if you criticise anything (its usuallly team selection or being too defensive that needs criticising) then you get called a PHW and told to get off the board as you're negative and not welcome.

Slangking:
As I said earlier, it can be very frustrating but the time has come to just 'let it go'. The Pulis detractors are getting fewer and fewer and many of the 'originals' have changed their opinions. There is a 'hardcore' that never will and maybe we should simply say "OK that's your opinion" and let them debate it amongst themselves. By reacting, we are stoking the fire of an arguement that (largely) no longer exists other than in the minds of those that will never accept that they were wrong. It is an unwinable arguement and maybe we should simply accept that some have taken extreme polar positions and the gap is simply too wide to close. No doubt this will all 'blow up' when times get harder and we lose more games but, at the moment, the doubters are having to accept the man's achievements without being overly magnanimous about it. Their numbers are getting few which is why the arguement rages between very few individuals. The rest of us should perhaps simply get on with enjoying the position that our manager,chaiman and players have presented us with and just allow the doubters to agree with themselves that 'It can't last'. After all, most of them said "It'll never happen".

I'm not reacting, we've seen this before, we have a couple of good results and they suddenly get a collective amnesia and start pleading like some oppressed minority for fair treatment, yet say if we lost the next two the very same people would be all over here like a rash slagging off all and sundry. It may be that they just suffer a severe lack of backbone and a lack of being able to see the wood for the trees, you may be right they could be beyond help.

Because, like I said mate; It's an arguement that you can't win. For that you would need a rational and sensible appariasal of all that has happenned to this club in the past couple of years. that would require some to say "I was wrong".Many, to their great credit, have done just that. The rest NEVER will so best we all just 'Save Our Breath'

I started this post as an honest statement about how I viewed the man and never intended it to degenerate into the slanging match it has become. Can I please close the debate with a declaration on which hopefully we can all agree. That is 'irrespective of who carries the title of manager, may Stoke City's tenure in the Premier League be both a long and successful one'. Please god we can agree on that!!
