Baggieman,
Keep him till the end of the season as I think he will scrape 40 points.
After that I just don't know, even I can't defend team selection and performances like that.
I guess I could just about put up with poor football when we were getting results but not this.

I don't know if I would want him at the Baggies as I am not sure just how mentally stable he is, after watching him on a few interviews I do wonder!
Salop....
We've got one lunatic running the team at the moment so another lunatic in the shape of Nigel Pearson would be ok as long as over time he introduces Leicester type football at The Hawthorns.

If we don't beat the Posh, I'm going to take up knitting.

I'm not sure it's actually possible to improve when Pulis is picking the team. It's been dire, defensive crap for weeks.
But previously, we have proven ourselves capable of playing better football (though not brilliant by any stretch of the imagination, and not really often enough for my liking either), so it clearly is possible. However, the last few weeks have been awful with no redeeming aspects whatsoever to our play; our injuries probably don't help matters, but Pulis does have to take direct responsibility for the constant overwhelming negativity of our performances. Today we still looked like we were playing for a 0-0 draw when we were already 1-0 down. As I said: it's not good enough, and it needs to change.

That performance was disgraceful and an insult to the fans that travelled 4/5 hours to watch it. I want Pulis to pick a direction, start walking and never stop. Get as far away from our club as he possibly can. I can take getting beaten but we've had 0 shots on target in 3 of our last 4 league games, two of which were against teams in the relegation zone. But hey, at least we work 'ard, eh?

Looking forward to the Posh replay. With a bit of luck we can hold out for penalties.

I genuinely don't know if I've ever seen a more inept west brom performance than that.
Football isn't everything but that was sad to watch.
We should be very grateful to Villa for beating Norwich because we are in a real fight to stay up now.
RE: Newcastle vs WBA - Match Thread - Worldclassalbion - 06-02-2016
So Tony Pulis has never been relegated?????
WELL HE'S TRYING HIS FECKIN HARDEST TO AT THE MINUTE!!!!!
Absolute Disgrace. The whole DNA of our club has gone and with this Bell End in charge it will be irretrievable. I don't care who comes in but having 8 defenders on the pitch and 5 attackers on the be ch sums it all up. Make no mistake we are in deep shit. Embarrassment

I don't get to many games being from 'north of the border' but was there today.
Oh dear are we in trouble.
Players can't possibly be enjoying matches playing like that. Football is a 'GAME'. Supposed to be fun. Dire.
RE: Newcastle vs WBA - Match Thread - Zinman - 06-02-2016
I remember waking up one Sunday a few years ago to hear that Di Matteo had been sacked after an abject awsy performance against Man City.....I shall go to bed tonight hoping for similar news tomorrow.
