He's very much an attention seeking merchant. Any other genius statements that is about to come? Water is wet? The Pope is Catholic? Ice is cold?
I don't like it. However that's Pulis. You know what you're getting It remains to be sen if the boy emperor, when he turns up, will be happy with mid table mediocrity and the style of football.
Steve Clarke got sacked for losing 4 games on the trot after he took them to their highest finish ever in the PL, under Peace.
All I am saying is that you have to give him credit. He isn't going to come out and play us in the way we want him to play. He makes it hard. It's not nice and if I was a WBA fan I wouldn't like it.
However, they are in the PL. If he went out with what he has and played open expansive football, they may not be. Mourinho plays in the same way with better players.
It's up to us to overcome the style. IF not for a half inch here and there yesterday we would have.
Yep, we can't blame West Brom for setting up so as they did. What can you expect from the squad they have compared to ours? Pulis is what he is. My only complaints are about the time wasting from minute 1 which is so cringe and it's not sportsmanlike, it ruins the spectacle of the game and destroys the atmosphere at games. And the tackle on Davies from McClean which I think should have been a straight red because it was so late and reckless, it was only luck that meant Davies didn't get an injury from that.
It is what it is. I think we lacked balance at times. We need to be more clinical. We'll improve, and we aren't in a bad position being just a point off the top and still the only team undefeated. As long as we don't settle for draws to protect that, all is good. Basically, what you need to do is try to win each game, even if you overstretch and IF you go behind you work extra hard to get back on terms, which we did yesterday.
Grrrr.... The cold are facts are these. Pulis has never had control of a club who have the 'luxury' of world class players...
...therefore, he cuts his cloth accordingly... and does it very well... annoying as it it is.
Then again, someone who doesn't get a part in a West End play could kill everyone else in the cast and get the lead part by default, whether or not they were good enough to get the part when everyone else was alive.
Wouldn't make it right, or fair, but it wouldn't half be effective! (I wouldn't go and see the show, mind!)
It's not that he's bad, it's just that we have three very similar attacking midfielders and imo he's below the others
Lamela is part of the jigsaw. We have a few players that will be on and off form during the entire season. Coco is a very important part of the squad.
I'm starting to have my doubts
Yeah, and had we had a few minutes less, we'd have lost!
It's all relative!
Personally... i'd almost have rathered the frustration of a 0-0... rather than pretending to have to be pleased with a last minute equaliser, 'cos the Gods of Spursy suddenly decided to wake up and give Chadli a wand of a foot!
Bloody football... running weekends since 1882!
It wasn't humour.
(Hang on... how do you know?)
No... believe me, it really was... albeit misguided, obviously ("know your Audience, they'll either get it, or they won't" - Tommy Cooper, backstage at Her Majesty's; April 15th 1984) I don't think using the phrase "a Nun's rancid dried up cunt" would be used in civilised conversation... it's place is in the world of the humorous, or the perverse... and i'm not perverse! ...much!

West Brom's owner looks like a crappy James Bond villain.

I get that Pulis keeps teams in the Premier, but he recruits in his own image. Would he ever uncover a Deli, or Harry Winks?
No, he would rather thugs like Huth and McLean. Look at their side yesterday, full of 6 footers. Should he lose his keeper, they would struggle against good sides. Foster was the difference yesterday, he stopped a 4 to 5 goal hiding.
I would never pay to watch his teams play as a neutral.

Is the team shite or does Pulis make them shite. Why is it, he coaches relegating fighting teans .maybe hes the problem in the first place.
He dosnt keep teams in the PL. At the point where the players realise they could get religated, they try a lot harder. They get into this predicament because of his poor coaching and they bail themselves out.
How can you respect a coach who stands there in a tracksuit and baseball cap. I dislike everything about him, even just the way he looks.
We made Foster look good. Whenever the GK is praised it just means the finishing wasn't good enough.
To some extent, yes, but his saves from Davies and especially Eriksen x2 were unbelievable.
I knew we'd struggle in this game, we always do. Even when we went up there and won 3-0 two years ago, we were still under pressure for large parts and they did the woodwork twice.
We could've put them away in the first half, but seeing how the second half went, I'm quietly happy with the point.
