At the end of last season I decided to become a read only member of the board because 1 I had lost the will to continue criticising Uslis Clulis Pulis because he is too arrogant and stubborn to see the damage he is doing to our great club 2 Only seeing MOTD and the odd stream when it worked out here I felt that my views did not carry the weight of the regular Stokies who paid hard earned money to watch Pulis dictated Sh**e week in week out and 3 After 56 years as a Stokie including playing for our great club as a teenager I had lost the faith because of Pulis However as important as Stoke are I have come back on 1 To wish Nicky B a speedy recovery and 2 To offer my thoughts from a distance about our plight It seemed that we were starting to play pass ball rather than hoof ball and that may encourage Pulis to be less negative but last Saturday and yesterday have killed that The BBC FInal Score reporter yesterday said that the match did not deserve even to be last on MOTD Now we all know that there is a bias against us but how many such games do we feature in where we attempt to grind down the oppostion and perhaps snatch a winner if anyone is capable of scoring. We will rarely be mullered because we are so defensive but the way things are going Sunday morning league teams will score more than us this season I could go on about selection and tactics but you have all said that already It is perhaps as well that I am 2000 miles away otherwise I might be ejected from the Brit for confronting Clusil!!! Anyway best wishes to you all especially ONB SiS PS Potts Sorry not to have e mailed you as promised in the Summer re our mutual memories of Trent Vale but we have had a difficult few months here for various reasons Enjoy your trip to Madeira
Stoke in Spain Fully understand that mate and welcome back... it's as if I knew you we're still out there somewhere. Hope what problems you have or did have are not too bad S.I.S. So, before I say too much more, I fully agree with your'e post S.I.S. See my latest rant on the QPR thread. All the best SIS and this time next week, I won't be too far away from you. SIS Pott's
SIS, Welcome back, I agree fully with what you have said, " that man" is frightened of his job and runs a little man syndrome dictatorship, there can be no real progressive growth under his stewardship because he is to frightened to trust in his players and their talents. I couldn't agree more with your second line!!!
