http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag...t-ban-me-the-people-of-Stoke-will-suffer.html SOCCER boss Tony Pulis has escaped a driving ban after claiming the people of Stoke would suffer if he lost his licence. Pulis was clocked doing 96mph in his BMW when the motorway variable limit was 60mph. The Stoke City manager was facing a tot-up ban for topping 12 penalty points on his licence. But Pulis, 54, and his lawyer persuaded a court that not driving would affect his job so badly his Premier League team could get RELEGATED. His solicitor Mike Stephenson said charities Pulis travelled countrywide to support would be hit along with companies who have invested £60million in Stoke City. He added: "They would suffer if they were relegated as a result â and the children who he would not be able to assist and the people of Stoke could suffer if Mr Pulis lost his licence." Pulis, of Poole, Dorset, claimed he could not use a chauffeur for fear the driver would leak details of secret transfer deals that he discussed on his mobile. He was caught speeding on the M42 in Warwickshire in November after Stoke lost 5-0 at Bolton. He was fined £2,500 by magistrates in Leamington Spa and must pay £85 costs but was allowed to continue driving despite totalling 15 points on his licence.
You beat me to it Sarge. I take it all with a pinch of salt, given that legal teams will say anything to defend their client, nut come on! The scary thing is, I think TP actually believes it!
I have trouble believing it too Smithers. I mean the very idea that Pulis likes things that go fast? Only need to see how he treats Jerome to know he hates pace
Sgt I once clocked 105 going towards Blackpool in Ma Lays old Alpine but don't tell everyone. He's a lucky chap is Mr Pulis.
I've been saying it for months TP is a professional con man and the master of spin! To sucker in one judge was no problem, he has been doing it to 26,000 for the past 4 years!
You can't do that Nick, what would the poor people of Stoke on Trent do? We would immediatley get relegated, unemployment in the local area would rise to over 150,000 and every company connected to Stoke City FC would go bankrupt costing HMRC roughly 25 million in lost taxes! Coates would have to fold BET 365 due to the financial implications and whilst his children and grandchildren were confined to begging in the street, his lack of holidaying abroad will push the Med & Caribbean into Armageddon! I have seen the light - he's not a naughty boy at all - HE IS THE Omnipotent one! As a resident of Stoke I didnt realise that everything good that has happened in my life was down to him just being associated with area (pretty impressive that he can do that whilst living on the south coast) and everything bad must have been down to the Icelandics! Bastards! Thats it I'm starting a new church and it will be held at the old Victoria waste ground every Thursday at 3:33am to worship the Messiah! Collections will be held and we are expected to raise £90,000000 in aid of the Welsh Wizard church for distasteful football! I will let you all into a little secret aswell, I spent 40 nights up Mow Cop - He came to me in a vision and presented me with this Marlboro Packet (True Church Colours) which I dropped in **** on the way back down - actually I ate it because I was fuking starving! Anyway as the prophets predicted I inscribed these into my flesh for all to worship: 1. Thou Shall NOT Worship any manger before me. 2. Thou Shall NOT make a carved image of any trophy and you SHALL NOT bow to or worship any previous manager, for I am a jelaous GOD and I will take my Vengance on young and talented players by banishing them to Port Vale. 3. Thou SHALL NOT take my name in Vain. 4. Remember the Sabbath for I took you to Wembley and Thursday night football! 5. Honour thy Chairman - for he his blind and will line thy pocket! 6. Thou SHALL NOT Pass a Football. 7. You SHALT covet thy chairmans wife, but not his talented midlfielder or full backs! 8. You SHALL NOT make judgement on my tactics. 9. You SHALL take thy club supporters money unconditionally. 10. You SHALL NOT covert a fellow clubs players, manager or style, no matter what league they play, unless its their Ox, Donkey or Ass, for I the almighty one will have already signed them on a 4 year deal! So hear unto me you Man Slaves, you are now anointed in our great faith!
Smither's Brilliant And in the words of Dave Allen," May your'e God go with you" A great point last night which, I doubt any of us expected but watching it on-line we more than deserved it.
oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - TOUCHY TOUCHY TP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tony got a little hot under the collar in his press day today!
lol - sounds good to me! We wouldn't have to put up with his **** for the rest of the season and could play some decent football!
