Pulis must be in ecstacy tonight, seeing that Sunderland have bought yet another player, how many is that this week, 5 or 6, anyway, As said Pulis is waiting to pounce on yet more on more Sunderland rejects. Not good enough for them, but more than good enough/first choice for us! Taxi for Pulis
Another mistake by Pulis along the Tuncay fold - http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/birmingham-city-fc/2011/06/30/blues-boss-is-backing-adam-rooney/ 50 odd goals for Inverness in the past couple of seasons, young and goal hungry. But he's not 6 foot plus and black so he doesn't fit the mould! Taxi indeed for Pulis!!
How ironic would it be that if we do end up with that muppet Jerome and he has a season of firing blanks and the Blues with Rooney end up back up and Rooney gets 20 plus, how stupid will Pulis look then?
No more than he does right now. All you guys know where I stand on Pulis, I cannot stand or understand the man. Apart from the top 6 or 7 in the Prem he HAS spent more money than anybody, yes, there ARE some notable exceptions but for christs sake - Pulis is not the messiah, thanks a lot, you are past your sell by date, BUT of course nothing will happen, the guy should have been busted in December last year. I am NOT trying stir things up during this close season's dog days. Do feel free to disagree
How does Pulis look stupid now? If he got the boot in December, where would we be now? Fair enough, you're not a Pulis fan, I'm quite doubtful of him at times, but I'm having some difficulty understanding your argument.
Well Pistol, I am not sure that I can answer your question succinctly, I have however been 100% consistent on here and on 606 of my dislike of his tactics and his personnam On a personal note - I do not hate him - don't hate anybody, don't even dislike hims because; I don't know him. Perhaps I am a Dinosaur, yup probably am, but where would be if he had gone in December - have not got the foggiest. But Pistol, let me ask you this, given the amount of money that Pulis has spent, and in the whole scheme of things it is considerable, more thn most outside of the 'top 7', don't YOU think that we should: 1. Be a top 10 club 2. Be playing better football, I know and you know we cann who is stopping us doing so in terms of team selection?? - PULIS that's who. As said, it's a free country and feel free to disagree, the bottom line Pistol is that we ALL want what's best for our beloved team.
Everyone knows where I stand with Pulis. I have beliefs in football both as a player and a fan, which are you should never set up a side to lose. That is exactly what Pulis does in a lot of away matches, very negative and very annoying. I will NEVER agree with his style of football and how he approaches some games.
We were almost a top ten club, probably would have been if we hadn't had so many injuries towards the close. I've said on here loads of times, yeah I think he has got the team selection wrong on numerous occasions and played too negative but at the end of the day we are still in a decent position in the top league of English football, and he is the manager of a professional football club, and knows a lot more about it than I do.
I am sure TP will get the right signings as he did last year. Walters was the greatest signing.A great manager a Great Motivator and has got the Mighty Potters back where we belong.
Onto the Adam Rooney question. I think he would be too much of a risk. Our old friend InvernessStokie who loved Rooney when he was at Inverness, but he also insists he isn't anywhere near good enough for the Premier League, despite the fact he's got physically stronger, and that's good enough for me. I, like everyone else, are not happy with Pulis going after Jerome/Cole, but I just get the feeling we are chasing players but have been put off by their wage demands. Apparently that's why Victor Obinna didn't come, Lokomotiv Moscow offered either a bigger wage packet or signing on fee which we weren't willing, due to our tight wage budget, to give him. Which sadly shows where football has gone these days. Lokomotiv Moscow fans have a bit of a reputation for being slightly racist, it's one of the reasons why Odemwingie left them to join Baggies, but obviously money is ok for Obinna even if he gets the odd racist chant!!
In relation to where would we have been if TP had gone in December? I would say mid table and a semi or final in the FA cup! This bull about Tp got us to the final - we had the easiest of draws FFS - and when the final game TP hadnt got a motivated team to go out and perform on the nig stage! The league position was dire and I comenetated back in Nov 2010 that we were looking worse than we did the season before! The league dosen't lie - you finish where we deserve - only 3 teams lost more games than us and we were only a couple of games from the drop! In relation to we cant afford sign on fees or big wages? For every stupid signing we could boost a real siging! Goals and strikers dont come cheap but we are prepared to offer big money and a 40K a week wage to a rotation CB? How about we sign a 2 Million CB on 10K a week and then sign a 12 million striker on 70K - ITS THE SAME MONTHLY SPEND! Do you think Cole is goiing to play for 40K a week - have a word - hes on 65K! We have one of the b igger squads for our ground size and league position because we sign **** players who nobody else wants! Oh - Demba Ba's knees looked awful last season didn't they Stoke - joke! He was our best chance at getting some pace into our front line without sacrificing size yet we let him walk - but want to sign Cole? His knees are mint!
Yes, I am both. Pulis is God and the best thing to happen to football, and we should have a 300 ft gold statue of him outside the Brit.
Hi ST4, thought I recognised the address!! Glad to see you are still consistent, good for you. As you know I disagree with everything you say about you know who (I am not going to mention the P word anymore today), but I will defend to the death your right to say it. Have a good day
Nick, I'm not actually ST4, but I occasionally used to post on 606 under the same name on here. I likewise would defend your right to say what you feel about the club and management, even though I disagree with most of it! If everyone was looking on the bright side like I try to, all the **** would get brushed under the rug and forgotten about, so it's good having both sides. Have a good 'un yourself mate, and here to hoping we start getting linked with a few better players!
Let's stop this bickering lads. YOU are spoiling my holiday. Let's face it Smither's is quite correct. Mid table at best was where Mr P can get us. As for missing out on Demba Ba true enough Smither's. Stoke or Mr P will look rather silly if/when he bags a dozen or so goals for, is it Newcastle ? cos I heard about it whilst on holiday. YET again we are sat waiting for somehting too happen, not making it happen. In short, can you please get you finger out Tony, and sharpish. I heard someone say this morning. That, if needs must T.P. will take last seasons squad into the Europa Cup. Yeah and then what happens too our league form???? I'm rather worried at the minute. HOPE is all I'm doing that Mr P does something, and sharpish.
Looks like wengers boosting his strike force... http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/tra...llion-move-to-the-Emirates-article755880.html
Waddya mean Potts, it's not bickering nor banter, I'm bloody well serious, I'm really fed up with this season after season after season.
Nick I was having a laugh mate! I AM just like YOU. Sick to the back teeth of erm, NOTHING happening until it's too late or almost. Don't we play first leg Europa Cup on the 28th July!! HOW are we supposed to feel, that is for the T.P. I love you brigade. I am NOT a lover of T.P.s tactics either think it was Ric who said likewise. Re, playing not too lose away from home is TOOOOOoooooo negative for me. Are we not going around in circles lads? No wait, this is the begining of our FORTH season as a Premier League club. Seem's that apart from we may be, we might be, we've got player's we are looking at. NOTHING has changed and I for one will be LIVID if we don't sign at least three good player's. TWO of which, need to be midfielder's attacking one's. Me! I'm now over the rant stage and back in my cage. Hope you are keeping O.K. Nick mate, keep believing it's about all we can do at the minute.
