Tony Pulis

why shouldn't he moan about decisions against his team? Baconface, Wenger, Benitez have all been doing it for years to bully the FA to treat them more favourably. I don't mind him TBH, he's done a good job for Stoke, his team is aggressive, try to bully players and they play direct football BUT he gets results for the club, keeps them in the Premier and makes it as uncomfortably as possible for the opposition, against all the odds with hardly any money to spend. Doing a good job and fair play to him!
For me there are more mangers out there that are more annoying than him, Redknapp, Baconface, Bruce, Moyes, Benitez are all constantly trying to manipulate the FA for a "fairer" deal.

Spot on mate.
 
Pullis sends his team out to operate at the edge of the laws and then moans when the laws are applied correctly. I don't know about his personality but his TV appearances do him few favours, he comes accross as a rather bitter little man.

Stoke typify the 'if you've got lemons make lemonade' approach, unfortunately their brutally pragmatic style makes them unpopular but I should imagine that Pullis is pleased to cultivate this attitude; they are a slightly more successful version of Millwall.

Despite what you think of him, he is a brilliant manager who will keep us up, and in the coming years will have more money to spend, because whether you like it or not, we are going to be around for some time.<br /><br />-- Sun Mar 21, 2010 9:16 am --<br /><br />Btw, good luck today, hope you win.

I have no doubt that you'll stay around, the Stoke fans I know seem convinced that there will be money to spend (although they seem a little sketchy on the details of where it's coming from).

I've no particular axe to grind with The Potters and I must confess I give them very little thought but it will be a long time before any other supporters grab their fixture lists at the start of the season in eager anticipation of a game against Stoke. Unless Crewe or Port Vale get promoted a lot.

I read or heard somewhere, that despite Pulis getting you into the prem, that the Stoke fans are split on Pulis, is that true, or just bollocks? Something to do with his 1st time at the club or something, I cant remember now.

The majority of fans are behind him, just the odd few who call for his head when results don't go as expected. But that is true of a lot of clubs.

isn't he a manc as well ? Must be a rag !

The bitter little shite is Welsh! Hope Beattie game him a good battering, not because he's Welsh, but because he's a little shite. Said to my wife watching MOTD this morning, he's the sort of person even a pacifist would thump smack on the nose or swish him round the back of the head with a baseball bat.

He's definitely trying the old Ferguson trick of intimidating the FA/EPL into appointing refs who have been favourable to them.
