I'm still ******* seething after watching that EXCUSE of a football TEAM. Waddo, FULL MARKS for telling it HOW IT IS MATE. Sgt POTTER respect your views as always but... WHOM do YOU blame for that debacle? HE picks the TEAM, HE, decided to put the defence to "how it was" fair enough. HE KNOWS dammed WELL that our MIDFIELD is NOT even close to good enough. HE Is SLOWLY but SURELY PISSING OFF even the most ardent of DECENT STOKE CITY fans me included. Ask youself.. NO WONDER WE get SLATTED by other fans, the media uncle Tom Cobley... P.S. the Arsenal fan can do one you have nothing to gloat about.. The SOONER that IDIOT of a Manger LEAVES the BETTER. Totally and UTTERLY pissed OFF with Tony Pulis... and TAKE Rory Delap and a few more with you. WHY is Palacios NOT playing? Delap is PASSED IT.. I TOLD you all last season. I feel really sorry for Jon Walters... by a country F****** MILE our BEST player today and is the ONLY one I won't criticise. Along with Ric Fuller.. Ryan for England Pulis? YOU are not SERIOUS? he had a mare today and he's not alone. Huth looked like he didn't know who Shawcross was. THAT is Pulis's FAULT no one else can be blamed. TONY do the RIGHT thing for STOKE CITY F.C. AND LEAVE NOW! If not we are going DOWN and DOWN fast.. A disgrace and I am F****** ASHAMED tonight for the many decent Stoke fans who STICK BY THE TEAM.. I will NOT if Pulis stays. RANT over and WELL done Q.P.R. newly promoted and JUST liie Newcastle did PASSED a bloody football with EASE at times you were running rings around us.. Oh, and taking the P*** out of Delap with the F****** towel. sooner or later some on here with WAKE UP and see WHAT I and others have told you for MONTHS.
Yes, seriously! Had enough of my money and time to justify that! One of the easiest draws with only fellow relegation strugglers and championship teams to beat - I think that is reasonable for the money spent dont you? Not waste money, play the correct players in the correct positions. We are not on a bad run, we are bad! This has rolled over from last year where our results and performance were worse than our first year (Prem) - FACT!
Smithers I said to my mates during the game "We are going backwards from our first yes FIRST sesaon in the Prem" and I think we are. Peadar Begovic must be thinking WTF? Tell us, WILL Delap/Whitehead get DROPPED because they are "letting the team down"? I was talking too another Stokie on the way back to the carpark. I said "I blame the midfield" He said WHAT MIDFIELD say's it all I think We're all P***** OFF and it ain't going to change while we have a man with no PLAN B to turn to in charge. IMHO of course.
Starting to think Palacios is the new Kitson/Tuncay. Why him and Wilson did not play today I really don't know. Delap would not get in another prem side in the league he is ****e. Whitehead runs around kicking anything that moves and Whelan can't pass for love nor money. So in saying this TP is to blame because he never addresses the situation we are lacking most - MIDFIELD!!
Waddo I've seriously had enough of Pulis and his bloody attitude towards Tuncay/Kitson/ and now, Palacios?? and Wilson. IF Pulis can't see it.. we are well and truly fooked. I HOPE either he LEAVES ASAP or Mr Coates say's enough is enough. We've NO money too speak of to spend in Jan.. I'm sick and tired of watching complete S****Y football and hearing pathetic EXCUSE after EXCUSE from Pulis. Yes, the ref was bad but he wasn't to blame for the shambolic goals we conceded PULIS IS. He has continued to feck around with what was, one of the BEST defences in the League????? Whelan a bloody great couple of games for Ireland but he's not good enough to start? I GIVE UP and I've HAD ENOUGH. OF PULIS.
Yes, Pulis makes mistakes, he does things I don't agree with, he drives me mental at times, but if you take a step back and look at what he has achieved at a club who, before he came, hadn't been represented in the top flight in almost a quarter of a century, it seems very short sighted, not to mention ungrateful, to hit him with such a backlash after a few bad results. Today wasn't brilliant, but for feck sake lads, it was hardly catastrophic. It's okay to give out about Pulis, it's even okay to want him gone, but the stick he gets every time things don't go our way is completely out of proportion to what has actually happened.
Liverpool fan in peace!!! Sometimes a manager, however good a job he's done, comes to the end of his time at a club. Brian Clough found out the hard way almost undoing his legacy at Forest by getting them relegated. I do think Pulis is struggling with juggling Europe and the League, his best results in the league have come when he's concentrated solely on it and disregarded all the cup competitions. I also think Stoke have hit the ceiling in terms of their style of play, and they need someone else to come in and change the play so you can push on and be regulars in Europe. Good luck for the season anyway Waddos, and rest of you Stokies.
b personally i dont think there is any chance of pulis going uless we get relegated................unfortunately
Coates won't sack Pulis even if we get relegated. He likes having someone beneath him who praises him so much, so often. His ego loves it.
QPR fan in peace (sort of) as an outsider I cant believe what Im reading. This is your fourth(?) season in the prem. You're an established club now having been knocking round the championship in years before and league 1 on occasion. Surely an FA Cup final is something you'd all dreamed of as do almost all supporters across the country which has now brought you EUROPEAN football. Now you're not going to finish fifth. You all know that so this is highly likely to be your only chance in Europe. So what if you cost yourself a couple of places and finish 15th instead of 12th. You have a chance to go far in Europe which is surely more exciting than finishing 9th.
No offence mate but unless you're a Stoke fan it's difficult to have an opinion on this. Pulis has lost the dressing room, we are playing awful football and the players, a few players aside, don't give the impression they want to play for him. His stripping of their passports so they wouldn't go on holiday with their families during the break has pissed off the players, Etherington refused to go and collect his MOM award last night, instead just storming home, Pennant is back to his old tricks so Pulis has learned he cannot control him and Jerome reportedly left the ground at 2pm yesterday after learning that a 20% fit Fuller was on the bench instead of himself, who was 100%.
I don't really know how Pulis is still the manager of the club. Against us you were complete ****e, and the goals you conceded yesterday were pretty bad (I didn't watch 90 mins obviously but from the posts you put on here, you were **** the whole game). The football you play is **** and the players you buy are ****, and the few good players you buy, never get played. At least you don't beat a team 5-0 and then the next match you play terrible again and lose
This is my opinion exactly. It's been a few bad games. I'd see where people were coming from if we'd been losing like this for months and months, but we haven't.
Peadar I wanted him out 2 seasons ago mate nothing to do with this bad run. He is an imposter of a premier league manager, tactically inept and has no man management skills whatsover. With Coates's money a better manager could have had us up where Newcastle are now!
Peadar It isn't the fact that we are losing.. I can take that anytime IF, we're playing well. FACT is Peadar we're complete S**** have been most of this season, even you said as much? ANY OTHER Prem Manager would be out of work by now, given the money he's had to spend IMHO. The Liverpool fan is quite right.. T.P. has taken as far as we can go. He also touched on something that hacked me off after hearing T.P.s interview last night quote.. " We want to do well in Europe, but let's not forget the Premier League" Well all I can say is.. WHY do we play so well in Europe but with respect to QPR and other teams we've lost too. NOT ONE of those teams I've seen in the Europa Cup come CLOSE to the standard or the Premier League.. and we CAN NOT beat any apart from the Baggies. Sunderland who are STILL below us but HAMMERED US we were crap Norwich away crap Bolton worse than crap last two home games, total lack of ideass i.e. team selection by T.P. YES, he's done well but he's NOT doing WELL right now Peadar and the sooner we get either a decent coach who knows how to handle player's the better. Mr Coates isn't stupid, neither is he going to throw good money after bad with no return. That,is why he's so rich he's no mug and I think T.P.s days are numbered. I want WHAT is BEST for STOKE and our fans having seen TP spend so much money, as I see it we are been conned and I don't like been conned.
