Iain Dowie has been awarded Manager of the Month for January. Surely TP must be in line for this, given the run we've been having?
Palace scored one more point than us in January, but only because they played one game more. How is this decided, purely on points scored?

I think the FA cup game (us getting knocked out and them going through) swung it.
TP's our manager of the month though.

F.A Cup matches don't count, do they?.
Palace got 10 pts to our 9 - admittedly with an extra league match.
And Norwich got it, 'cause we lost against Cardiff, and they remained unbeaten.
I think it is (just about) defensible.

They can stick the poisoned chalice up their arse for me if we just keep picking up points not prizes.

Tony Pulis has suprised me to tell you the truth!!!
I was one of those that was asking why we had appointed the bloke in the first place but now!!!!
Well done Mr Pulis, the best thing Judas could have done was leave us in the shit the way that he did so that you could come in and build the team like you have!! Who'd have thought, Ade, Sarbs and Eustace playing for us 12 month ago????
Well done that man!!!! TP Manager of the month for me!!!

When you consider Quitter's two signings were Greenacre and Mooney on loan, it does show the difference in calibre of players TP has been going for.
One other thing it shows is how deluded we were when many of us said that the Div 2 promotion side was stuffed with Div 1 quality players. Was it heck! ;D

I wouldn't mind seeing a few of the "old" faces in the team at the mo.... Sergi would have be fantastic in Div 1 with the players we now have.. I'd also like to see Bjarni, Gunnarsson (When he first came to Stoke) and also Jimmy in Midfield with Eustace!! I aint knocking the team that we have now but beleive that the players mentioned would have made good additions to the side we have now!!! But then again I prayed and prayed that Vinny would have come back to sort us out in our first season at the Brit!!! Ejay

I would love to have seen Serghei back but the rest I think we have replaced with better - with the exception of Bjarni, where we have not yet aquired a dedicated right winger. Hopefully, when we do, it will be someone of the same calibre as Eustace, Ade or Halls. Neither JOC nor Brynjar have set the world alight in Div 1 since they left.

Who wants it? Its cursed ;D! Seriously (i think) The legend goes that the African FA gave it to us as an award, as it was their oldest trophy. Our Fa had it melted down and made into MoM awards. It used to be used to be the African FA cup and the final many years ago was contested between witchdoctors fc and Cannibals United(or something) Cannibals won with a dodgy goal and the witchdctors were so peeved that they cursed the trophy. Bad luck then befouled the holders of the trophy or so the story goes.........only you can decide
