Hi Steve, mentioned this before when we had 8 points - there were posts on here saying ZERO points by end of Sept (not me). Neo Dave - please READ my posts and you will see my complaint which believe it or not is exactly the same as MANY others. By the way, I wish I had a compilaton of Pulis's after match comments, one moan - don't think so Dave!
I do try, I love the club and dislike anyone who slates us - except us Stokies of course! I have never made a secret of my dislike for TP, but I respect him for what he has achieved and acknowledge the good he has done! However, there is no point putting our heads in the sand and hiding from the issues that have bubbled beneath the surface for pretty much all of our prem campaign! Here is to hoping that TP bangs his head in the shower, plays a 4-3-3 and buys 2 x FB's and 2 x CM's in January!
Steve and the rest of my fellow Stokie's... I am NOT complaining about our league position, our HOME form certainly I AM well chuffed that we're doing so well this season. My ONLY complaint is OUR away form and the FACT that T.P. does NOT play any differently than we did when first promoted. Nick in his last post summed it up better than I could have.. I do NOT want T.P. out NEVER HAVE but I WISH he would be more POSITIVE away from home... LIke Smither's said.. WE ALL LOVE THE CLUB AND SUPPORT THE TEAM.. We don't have to like or dislike T.P. I do respect him and I AM thankful he's doing well as I did not expect 8 pts from the games so far. I will get over it so will everyone else, we always do.. KTF Support Arsenal.... NEVER in a million years
I'm sure that the definition of insanity is that you try something, and when it does not work you repeat the same thing over and over again. We actually have 9 points more than I anticipated, so I am clearly a pessimist. While I am greatful for our position in the EPL, and for some of the players that TP has brought in, I find it very hard to love this man - I genuinely believe that my good lady wife has a better grasp of tactics than our esteemed leader - especially away from home. What concerns me is that when Peter Reid was commentating on Fulham v Odense, he actually stated what we allthought and now know - TP's favourite result is 1-0, and that you start every game with something. Unfortunately despite time after time having the paucity of this approach exposed to him, the illustrious leader still does not realise that you may not lose when you mstar at 0-0, but you certainly won't win. He definitely requires a "Saul on the road to Damascus" moment.
