I started watching tony pulis' interview this morning when he was asked about 'that tackle' against dembele of fulham the other night & was about to applaud the man for calling it wreckless BUT he then went on to say that hughes wasn't just angry about that and he was angry at losing after fielding a full team at the brittania!
If that wasn't bad enough, they then show wingnut delap come out with 'he's commited, it looked worse on the TV, there was no malice, the boy's not badly injured AND THE WORST ONE OF ALL "these things happen in football"
 Yes they do keep happening in football but especially when stoke city are playing and the english FA keep on letting these type of challenges go unpunished. I am starting to dislike this team & their manager the more I see of them which is a shame as I think that they should be applauded for staying in the premiership on a limited budget but not at the expense of fellow professionals health and wellbeing.

I enjoy watching Stoke because of the throw ins and always a good crowd at the Britania but the way their players and manager has acted since they have been promoted has been disturbing. But of course there are some meat head football fans that want to see all this thugishness. They want to see more of this

I didn't see that tackle so can't comment on it. But what do you want to do - ban the sliding tackle altogether? Football is a contact sport and it should stay that way. Most people argue that footballer is gone too soft these days. Look at Nani last week - pathetic. I think it's refreshing to see a team that get stuck in and get results. Obviously it's not as good as watching Barca or good passing teams but it takes all sorts to make the world. If a player goes out to deliberatly injure a player, however, they should be heavily punished. Nobody wants to see injuries or mistimed challenges. It is no coincidence that the majority of people here complaining are Arsenal fans. They are not capable of dealing with teams like this because Wenger doesn't know how to buy a good keeper, centre half or holding midfielder. As long as they stick within the rules i like Tony Pulis and Stoke. They are a tough tackling, no nonsense bunch of mother fookers  ------------- 67% points to games ratio at the last Euro's (better than Portugal's) |

Stoke fans are very noisy in the Britannia stadium. They get behind their team especially when they are losing. I can't say the same for ManYoo. Last time I was in OT, (my son likes 'em) the fans were turning on the team because they hadn't scored in the first half! Yes, Stoke are tough but no rougher than many other sides. Realistically, they cannot expect to outplay the likes of Arsenal and compete at the same level of passing etc., so pragmatically, Pulis will set them up to make it tough. If memory serves me correct, isn't that exactly how ManYoo beat the Arsenal last year too? |

I love Arsenal's passing style, I love players like Fabregas, Wilshere, Rosicky, and poor Ramsey who got hurt last season and Eduardo the season before that, but I also strongly believe that neither Ryan Shawcross or Martin Taylor deliberately set out to injure the Arsenal player that day, Shawcross was reckless cos he coulda hurt himself also and Taylor's was just badly timed from where I saw it. There are so many aspects to football and hard fair tackling is part and parcel of it. Sometimes players will mistime it, resulting in inevitable injuries. The problem is that dirty players and deliberate foul play is not properly punished and the authorities don't seem to know the difference between a mistimed tackle and a plain dirty foul. 2 footed tackles should be an instant red card and a 10 match ban at least. Going into a tackle with your studs up should be finally outlawed (watch the CL this season, a ref for a CL game will ALWAYS give a foul, but in the EPL, some refs will give a free, some won't and that confusion drives players and fans nuts). Outlawing a studs up challenge will also reduce injuries.
You can't hope to compete in any match if you aren't prepared to win your physical battles. For all Wenger's wonderful footballing philosophy, he hasn't won anything since losing the likes of Adams, Bould, Keown, Vieira and Petit who would kick their granny. ------------- We'll never die, we'll never die, we'll keep the Green Flag flying high......Shamrock Rovers will never die, we'll keep the Green Flag Flying high. 19 Leagues and 25 Cups..... |

Your memory serves you very incorrectly. United pissed on arsenal at the emirates. Nani and Rooney scored candidates for goal of the season. At OT Wenger whinged about a United player (Darren Fletcher) tackling his team. United won that game as well. They also taught them a footballing lesson home and away in the semi final of the Champions League the year before. ------------- Back o' the Net ! |

He sure was. I hope he keeps it up and doesn't revert to past form with other clubs and gives up when the going gets tougher. He's an immense player - on his day he can be as good as Drogba. Maybe Ricky is bringing the best out in him. And speaking of Fuller, it looks like http://www.stokecityfc.com/page/NewsDetail/0,,10310~2166810,00.html - he's not going to be out for too long after dislocating his shoulder yesterday. |

This isn't a 'everyones against arsenal' topic, it's about stoke city which is why I mentioned the tackle against fulham. The last line above says it all 'As long as they stick within the rules...' which I don't believe they always do.
As for their fans, my best mate (who supports spurs) says that the story of their wonderful and loud support at the brittania is greatly exaggerated!

Yep. Most Stoke fans will be happy with the news, but likely less so, will some of the Irish contingent at the club. I think Pulis did a fine job, getting Stoke to a cup final, did well in Europe and comfortably kept Stoke in the premier league. He's gone at the right time too, to enable whoever the new manager time to set the club up the way he wants and get in some different players. Di Matteo the early favourite for the job. http://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/stoke/next-permanent-manager" rel="nofollow - http://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/stoke/next-permanent-manager Edit: Benitez now favourite.

Tony Pulis more or less only signed British players or players from Britain. In total, he signed five players from abroad who were not British (thus discounting Jermaine Pennant): Diego Arismendi (from Uruguay): never appeared in a premier league game at Stoke (two Europa League starts, two substitute Europa League appearances, over four seasons) Brek Shea (from USA): never started a game at Stoke (two substitute premier league appearances, over half a season) Eidur Gudjohnsen (from France): never started a game at Stoke (four substitute premier league appearances, one substitute app in the league cup, over half a season) Smajl Suljevic (from Sweden): never played a minute for Stoke Geoff Cameron (from USA): the single success story, 32 starts, 6 sub appearances. For a Premier League manager to have such a poor scouting network / worldview defies belief. Even the one success story came in speaking fluent English, as did Eidur Gudjohnsen. Compared to say Moyes at Everton (with the likes of Fellaini, Mirallas and Pienaar being the success stories), Roberto Martinez at Wigan (too many to mention) or anyone at Swansea (Michu anyone?), Pulis's record is absolutely abysmal. -------------

End of an era and some real mixed emotions. Will never be able to thank Pulis enough for ending the years & years of sh*te and turning us into a solid premier league team. Add to that an FA cup final and a tour of europe and you have the best few years of my life supporting stoke. However the time is right for him to go as the past 18 months in particular has been truly painful. A bad start next season would have seen ugly scenes at the Brit and the thought of another season of his brand of football in all honestly depressed me.

I thought a manager was judged on his results and not where he signed his players from. What difference does it make where the players he signed came from if they got good results within the budget he was given. So now he is being harshly compared to a manager who relegated his club when Pulis did not get relegated from the premier league with Stoke. Football is really becoming mad with fashions and fads and all sorts. At the end of the day his record at Stoke stands up to scrutiny.

Of course, you need to judge a manager on results and the standard of football that is played, but for a manager to not be signing players from abroad, in particular in an era when you are charged a premium for signing English players (owing to player development regulations), it is at the very least a waste of resources to be spending money on English players only and not to have a reasonable scouting network, especially when you consider the quality and value that the likes of Pardew, Moyes, Martinez and Laudrup have identified. He has spent a lot of money (more than most of the clubs around him) and doesn't have a lot to show for it (albeit five years in the Premier League is quite an achievement for a club of that size). If you look at the respective amounts spent by Stoke (circa £80m) and Wigan (£50 to £60m) over the last five seasons, not to mention the amount raised in sales on Wigan's behalf (certainly a lot more than Stoke, thinking of Valencia, Moses, Palacios, Cattermole, N'Zogbia and the fees they attracted), for Stoke to finish only six points above Wigan (regardless of the fact Wigan were relegated), then I think it is a fair comparison and that Wigan come out of the comparison better (albeit of course Martinez was only the manager for the last four seasons, not five). Now, I'm not saying Pulis should have been let go, and maybe the use of the word "abysmal" was a bit harsh (it was clear I was only talking about his international transfer policy) but his record certainly wasn't flawless. I think he could have got better players and played better football within the same budget if only he was prepared to widen his horizons and scouting when it came to player recruitment. -------------

His recent managerial record at QPR was terrible and he was often very critical of Pulis' teams, so he'll really have to hit the ground running to win over many Stoke fans. It's a strange choice, but Coates must have been won over by something. He was caught in the headlights at Man City, but overall his record as a manager is decent enough. He will likely have Stoke playing a slightly more easier on the eye style, so some fans will be happy, even if they're losing. I'll reserve judgement 'till we see how next season unfolds.
