I actually like what TP is trying to acheive at my club. Another 6 wins and we are safe again. Why all the negativity?? DD 
Ubique.
Why some fans hate Tony Pulis

2. Likes defenders to be tall to adequately defend set pieces?
3. Builds a team from the back to make it hard to beat.
4. Waste's money like every other club trying to avoid relegation from the Prem.
5. Believes that you play as a team meaning attacking wingers should be able to track back.
6. Believes that you win your home games but keep it tight away from home.
7. Understands that if you play expansive, cavalier football you will get hammered by quite a few teams in the Prem.
8. As regards forwards please refer to 2, 3 and 5.
9. Quickly recognized that Irvine had bought a bunch of average players who he does not want, so won't be playing them.
10. Pulis will always keep teams in the Premier League therefore saving you the financial disaster that can come from relegation, particularly this season as the new super rich Sky deal pays out next season!! Fans will stick with the club in the Prem but will dwindle in the Championships!
Agree?
Rainbow, I spotted a few mistakes in your questions, so took the liberty of correcting them above!!
I've said it before, we will gladly swap places with you if you want to relinquish your Premier league spot!!! There are plenty of clubs about the same size or potentially even bigger than WBA in the Championship that will do just about anything to swap places with you!!

St Charles, are you sure, agreed with you until you said that there are clubs bigger or potentially bigger than the Albion willing to swap places, no club is bigger than the Albion surely, in the words of McEnroe "you can not be serious". I don't think Barcelona or Real Madrid want to play in the premier league.
I jest with you young man ...... any news on mad steve, sad story, sent my best wishes. Thoughts are with him and his family / friends.
Albion til I die

Listening to Tony Pulis talk is a breath of fresh air compared to some of the guff we get on radio or TV, and I'd much rather have someone dominating Press conferences than have a member of the Press dominating them. I've seen him move questioners on if they persist in asking the same question in a different way. He was also good in the way he handled the Berahino crisis, taking Berahino and Berahino's mum out to dinner that time, and I bet he drove home a few facts of life in among all the good advice and arm around the shoulder stuff. Pulis is a leader of men after all, and I'd expect nothing less from him than what he's done already for our club. Only Roy Hodgson in recent years could hold a candle to him.

I think that Baggieman said 100 lines; where's the rest??

Erm!what is the purpose of this post? The negativity is coming from posts like this not Pulls. So i'll tell you a few facts about Pulis and WBA
1 He inherited these players on the whole and whilst its easy to mention Chester as one of his so called failings how about mentioning Fletcher and Evans instead?
2 Big teams with money to burn get proven top class strikers that score goals for fun. We have an academy (Berahino) Its not Pulis fault he's shat in his own nest (remember Brown? Where's he now exactly? How about odemwingie?) This is the problem teams like ours have, billy big nob syndrome. So where does that leave us? see point 3
3 Big defenders. Big strong tall defenders serve two very obvious purposes. a) stop crosses from set pieces intimidate smaller opposition b) Get on the end of our set pieces, intimidate opposition and score goals (Dawson Olsson 3 liver fool 2 oh sorry I meant Dawson Olsson 2 Referee & Liverfool 2) Referee gets a look at the big screen to make his decision then to make sure he gives liverfool 10 minutes to try and snatch a win absolute joke at best corrupt at worst no surely not? Anyone remember Villa Fan/ref Andre mariner a few seasons ago? At this point Shall I mention FIFA? I believe we were mugged today 4 shots 2 in the back of the net well 3 actually liverfool 28 shots 2 in the back of the net one a cruel deflection.
4 Will check this again tomorrow but before today we had the best defensive away record in the league. Hodgson was no different. STOP conceding goals and you stand a chance of getting a win or draw by hook or by crook yes but defend you must and defend in numbers is essential when you're facing talented strikers that rem! well.... score for fun.
5 Unless I'm mistaken we just played Man Utd 4th West Ham 8th Arsenal 1st Tottenham 5th and Liverpool 9th and have Won 1 Lost 1 drawn 3 6pts from top half opposition
6 Who, WHO, WHO, for the last god damn time of asking, do you people that hate Pulis so much think is out there that a) is available b) wants to manage a club like albion c) we can afford? d) will DO A BETTER JOB than Pulis. I'm tired of asking this question. So purleaze give me a name or quit whining?
7 why do the pundits who play and manage in the game consistently praise TP for the way he goes about setting us up? Oh well maybe they don't know their ass from their elbow but I watched Villa today to and yes I'm refusing to slag villa off cos my dad is a villa fan and he's been very ill for a few years and its breaking his heart to see what's going on there. Their defending is absolutely frightening. I remember the gung ho wba over far too many seasons in this division being ripped apart by teams we have now started getting results from like the Man Utd's Liverpool's Arsenals Chelsea's Tottenham's. I'd love to add man C to that list sooner than later but these results come from hard work team defending tough tackling bodies on the line football and just for the record MOTD2 mentioned a lot of liverfool tactics were long ball to benteke (yet they celebrated a draw against a so called smaller team, inferior opposition that, Klopp had the audacity to criticise) like they'd won the league, The arrogant twot had the cheek to do what some fans do on here and slag our team off for their style of play and why do you think that was? It was because he was ashamed he'd been out fought tactically and probably bought the ref a mickey mouse klopwatch that never stops ticking till they get an equaliser. Sour grapes dumkloppf sour grapes.
Right rant over going to bed happy not to lose to that shower but annoyed about the stolen 2 pts. slag me off for the above if you like but I know who I'd rather have in charge right now
We are half way to the magic 40 pts after 16 games with 22 games to get another 20 pts from

arr I am mayte. ;-) actually I'd just returned from the works xmas piss up and I do like to get me soap box out lol!
Actually actually I was just really cheesed off we didn't beat them lot yesterday I really wasn't expecting anything from that one
and I just felt summit was a bit naughty about the offside (delayed) decision and the double fergie time was astonishing 10 MINUTES?
I've never seen that for a very long time. It just stank of big team favouritism? I myself couldn't stand TP once upon a time cos he kept bloody beating us tbh
I'd rather he was on our side than against lol! and I've tried to observe and listen to the man through fresh unbiased eyes and ears
and I've warmed to him a bit but most importantly I think he's a good manager for a team like us on a budget that needs to scrap for points
and thank god little old Timmy gave up the mighty Albion for a big old aston villa side that would kill to have TP right now.
Hear endeth the lesson chapter 2 of Vals Baggie blog ;-) Hey BaggieMan did you like my klopwatch gag at least ;-) I thought of that on the spur of the moment :-D
