Take it you're a Pulis fan then Harry ?

Remarkable foresight to know for a certainty we would have been relegated. You must make a fortune at the bookies !!!

The only thing I know for certain is that Pulis is a crap manager - boring crap at Sjoke, boring but lucky at Palace and with us at the end of last season and back to boring crap again now.

I've put my last £20 on us being 1st match on MotD tonight (1,000/1). Drinks on me all season, lads.

The last two games our midfield has been dreadful. Need to be playing the wingers. Look unbalanced. Missing mulumbu so need to get someone in to replace him.

Positives - back 5 did well. Rondon looked useful.

We need to keep saido

I would not blame Saido if he asked to leave if he has to play with this dross every week. No sign of progression and TP cannot blame anybody else now.

Too predictable and quite frankly appalling to watch. This is the same style as Stoke had and us Albion fans HATED Stoke and Pulis and the way they played. Now he's come here he's gods gift yet when he was elsewhere nobody could stand him? Baffles me

Watching a highlights show on US tv from my holiday apartment in Napa (life's tough) - quote from the summariser "no surprise to see a 0-0 scoreline from a Pulis side". He fully deserves his reputation and I won't be in any hurry to buy tickets for any away games.

Exactly my point on an earlier post Dan....

Living among Sjoke fans I witnessed their desperation with Tony Clueless as manager with some not even renewing their season tickets. It was such dross, poor tactics, hoofball, thuggery, and was despised by Baggie fans.

As you say Dan, as soon as he comes to us, he can walk on water and the greatest thing in football. Talk about turncoats and still people on here think he is The Messiah !

I'm equally baffled Dan !

Who is saying he is the messiah/gods gift?? No WBA fan can deny Pulis has flaws but he gets results. Today was dire but over the course of the season having him as our manager pays off. Realistically we cannot get anyone better at the job than Pulis. Some perspective is needed. The fickleness of some fans (particularly straight after matches on this forum) is embarrassing but at the same time hilarious

Well when I spend hundreds of pounds on season tickets etc I think I have a right to moan after watching dreadful stuff like that

Just look back at the comments after Clueless' appointment Harry.... it was like the second coming of The Messiah.

PS: As a matter of interest Harry, at what point should we be allowed to make comments ? Is it not reasonable to comment after a game ?

Huh

Tbh that was after we had got used to Irvine, virtually anyone on the planet would have got that reaction.

Pulis is the closest thing to guaranteeing survival a team can get, the downside is that, like today, it is the least entertaining football you can probably watch.
