Sorry but this is a reaction to the Watford game. If we'd have held on for 2-1, this thread and poll would not have been posted.
Yesterday was also anything other than a boring game, although I'd probably be bored just watching the football via streams on a laptop as well. The point of going up the Albion isn't just about the 90 minutes on the pitch, it's the meeting up with friends, watching the early KO, having a drink and some banter.
To be honest I cannot wait until the eventual day when Pulis does leave just the same as you; because he won't be here forever, however I'm not naive enough to think that just because we change the manager our style of football will improve.
I think you'll find that threads like this have been commonplace since Pulis arrived.I'm sure yesterday wasn't boring, and watching a team play fast attacking football, able to pass and control the ball, keep possession and put pressure on the opposition must have been good to watch- pity that team wasn't Albion. I agree that meeting up with friends, having a drink and good banter is great, and has been part of my life for far too many years. The good thing now is that I don't have to spend £500+ and waste 2 hours of my life every Saturday to do it.
I've watched Albion under some dreadful managers, Saunders, Little, Howe to name just 3, but Pulis is the only one to drive me away from the Hawthorns. Some people used to criticise Peace for not taking a risk - those same people seem now to criticise others for wanting to take a - in my view very small- risk in changing the manager to bring just a slight hope of entertainment. I don't consider this view to be naive.
