As for the 3-3 game, the significance and consequence of the result had no effect on Palace's season, unless you think they went all out to grab a draw knowing it would contribute to the end of our prem hopes.

All the more creditable then that the manager can motivate a mid table team to forget about the beach and think of getting something from 0-3 down against title contenders. Few could manage that.

The Searchers or The Small Faces?
 
He has all the qualities we need in a manager. Why be shy of handing a chance to someone just because he doesn't look the part or doesn't have a fancy name?

Doesn't look the part or have a fancy name <laugh>

Where the **** did you get that from, and what has that got to do with being a manager?

To be honest I think that result was more down to Rodgers failings than Pulis success. We were thinking of our goal difference and were far too attacking and open, when we should have shut up shop and took the win. I guess we knew City would more than likely win their 2 remaining games so we went for a cricket score and it back fired big time.

He got a draw against us, the result never meant Palace won the league, if he's as good as you reckon why didn't Utd go knocking on his door instead of going for the Dutchman?

So hes good enough for Spurs but not good enough for a club that finished below them?

That's very simple logic.

Managing the biggest club in the world and having £100M+ to spend on new players is his motivation. He has managed big clubs and had success; Pulis might get some clubs punching above their weight, but like Moyes he's no experience of winning the top trophies. Anyway, one poor season against a background of serial success is no more relevant than one good season after a sustained period of mediocrity, is it? All teams start level again in August.

Wise words Luke. Tony Pullis, AKA Tony ""the entertainer"". Premier League Manager of the year and for any doubters of what he achieved at Palace:

No side bottom of the Premier League at the end of November has previously risen higher than 17th by the end of the season. Palace made sure of their survival with three games left when a club record-equalling fifth straight top-flight win, against West Ham, took them up to 11th.

"Tony just brought such enthusiasm to the place," says assistant kit manager Danny Young. "His work ethic is completely out of this world. We're all in at the crack of dawn because he's here to go to the gym. That sort of enthusiasm rubs off on the rest of us.

"I started here a week before Tony and you could feel a little bit of tension because results hadn't been brilliant. But there was a massive difference from day one and it gave us an extra lift. It's been a great few months and now the place is buzzing."

Under rated manager who is still viewed as "Anti Football" because of his time at Stoke.

Not anymore (and I was one of them) .
As someone else suggested here the other day, the rugby football at Stoke seems to have
been part wind-up part p*ss take on his part.
 
Liverpool and Inter Milan are interested in signing left-back Ashley Cole, 33, who has announced he will leave Chelsea this summer.

Looks like Cole is off to Inter.
<ok>
 
Cole would be a good acquisition. Presumably, he'll not cost very much, if anything. His age will mean that he won't be expecting huge wages. And he'll be bringing with him a vast amount of experience and a winning mentality.
