Guys, haven't you noticed its the Pulis way?

Win at home, draw away. This is why his teams stay up. It's going to be Sessegnon and McManaman at home and Baird and Gardner away. As long as we are getting the desired results I'm perfectly happy with that.

The Irvine way stats: played 22 won 5 drew 6 lost 11 win percentage 23% = relegation
The Pulis way stats: played 10 won 5 drew 4 lost 1 win percentage 50% = a bloody good manager

As I've said before Pulis hasn't inherited Barcelona or Real Madrid here Its the same WBA team irvine had bar 2 newbies but the difference is we've stopped losing like we were. I dreaded every match under Irvine I simply couldn't see a win anywhere week in week out. Now I'm not really worrying about relegation or who we're playing. By my reckoning we have 12 matches and need 13 pts for so called safety so 4 wins and a couple of draws should see us through thats a win percentage of 33%
I'm also willing to bet some of those wins won't come from the teams we think it might? We would all think that Villa Leicester QPR Stoke (pulls revenge lol) and Palace would be the games we should expect results from but football always throws up surprises Remember the come back against Man U 5-5 after being 2-5 down so the games against Liverpool Chelsea Arsenal Man U and C Southampton and Newcastle could present a few surprises and i certainly don't think we're certain to lose all those as I would have been without TP in charge.
