Treated like a bag of shite by Pulis and a total waste of a season for the lads career,
reason he isn't fit is due to lack of game time and when he is given a poxy few minutes on the field its results
in him wanting to take a dive as he`s trying to hard to impress. Iam convinced with a more attack minded manager
McManaman would now be a regular in this Albion team and doing the business week after week, PULIS OUT!!
The game against Chelsea at the Hawthorns the bloke was absolutely unplayable yet the chomp Pulis takes him off
and drops him the next game.

Everyone is entitled to there Opinion ........
But to read the same poster saying the same thing day after day is now becoming so boring it's no surprise the site is quiet when you post the same thing time after time.
You want Pulis out I think we all gathered that the first day you posted ......
But why are you ramming it down our throats every single post or day ???
I thought maybe Fiery had returned but to be honest he had some good debates inside of him
You Sir are like a stuck record ..........
Then when you have read this maybe you could explain how McManaman wanting to take a dive is trying hard to impress ???
How could you want to take a dive and impress anybody ......
The boy has talent for sure, But diving is just going to alienate him to everybody let alone his own Head Coach

There is no doubt that Mcmanaman is a talented player, but just wanted clarification from Beefy.

Which dive are your referring to, the one against Chelsea, the one against Southampton, the one against Swansea or the one that go him sent off for a second yellow on Monday night playing for the under 21's?

[DanTheSmethwickMan]

Frustrating thing is watching him tear apart Chelsea's defence up here at the start of the season yet doesn't get a look in.

[Borders Baggie]

There's no doubt the lad has some talent but just seems like a bit of a headless chicken to me. Everything is done at '100 mph' and always liable to do something rash.
In his defence, I would like to see him play more before writing him off but is he ever going to be consistent enough or good enough to hold down a regular place in any premiership side? I doubt it but would love him to prove me wrong.

Agree totally with The Beefster - we DO get the message that you're not TP's  biggest fan, Rainbow,  so why take every single opportunity - and even engineer some - to keep on reminding us?
Also, if you ARE going to rant on like this, perhaps you could try and do it with a little more style, and a little less hatred?  

[RainbowTurnedEastStand]

What also`s boring is fans who say we havnt got the players to be more exciting yet have played all the big teams off the park
yet shit it against the likes of Villa,Bournemouth,and Norwich at home which is down to the manager and his negative tatics.
Sessegnon has saved Pulis`s skin second part of this season yet arrives one day late for training after a hard international schedule and
gets bombed out again which in my book is poor management.

[BaggieShep]

I'm far from a fan of TP but don't see how the handling of sess is poor management

Pretty sure he said he hasn't trained with the squad so wouldn't be included for this game

[Borders Baggie]

Great idea, let the players turn up whenever they like, train when they like.
The guy was late back from international duty and you expect him to be welcomed with open arms without any punishment?
Sessegnon would know he was going to be punished for being late back (without valid reason) so what does that say about him?
What if every player took that stance coming back from international duty?

[Salopbaggie]

I don't think the problem with Sess was so much that he reported back I think two days late not one, but the fact that he did not inform anyone that he was going to be late and no one knew where he was.

Pullis has always been a stickler for discipline as we have seen, which I think is his problem with Mcmanaman. Beefy refers to his diving, there are 4 occasions I can remember, as listed in my post above and he does not learn.

Pullis after the Southhampton game http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/fo...m-10042891

Fletcher after the Swansea game http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/west...e-changes/

Yet he was sent off Monday night for a second yellow for diving

I am no Pullis fan, but I agree with him on this one, how often on here have we criticised people for diving, the term cheating used by many including myself, because that is exactly what it is and I do not want to see a player representing my club cheating to try and win a game, I would rather lose than win by cheating.

Its bad enough having a reputation for playing negative hoofball so we do not want to get a reputation as cheats as well.
