Manchester City 4th (Assets - £1 trillion +)
Stoke City 8th (Assets - 1 or 2 towels)
Rubbish, you have spent more than most down there and play joint worst football in the league. Take Blackpool for example, they have done well and they have spent a percentage of what you have and play some great stuff.
Pulis spends (relatively) a lot of money on players to help you play the way you do. I would rather watch cricket than watch Stoke (and that's saying something!).
Ducky, as a Stoke fan I watch and enjoy what is put in front of me. It's fast, direct and effective. If you're telling me that Tuncay's reverse pass to Ethers was any less skilfull than Richards' dummy you're kidding yourself.
I have no choice of how the team I support plays even if it was poor. Listening to some of you lot saying 'I don't know how you can watch that crap', it's not like we have a choice - long suffering Stoke fans do not change colours (aka gloryhunt) because we don't perform like Barca. Proud Manchester City fans (pre-money) should identify with this but you're so desperate to emulate Manchester United you've started behaving like them, deriding everything and everbody else as lesser mortals.
If you can't see this then you're already too far gone...
