Boxing: Cunningham puts unbeaten record on line

“JwHpotter, Pulis is not gradually changing our style. Nothing yet has changed one tiny bit. However, the new signings do show a promise of wanting to change, but we have to see it first, hence Mr Smith saying as such. You cannot ignroe what he said about our lack of goals and indeed our lac of wins. Wins are the results of positive change, nothing has changed yet! stholder seesm to subscribe to a few other extremely narrow minded peopl on here, anybody who says anything negative about the team is a moron, idiot, not a true supporter and other insane accusations.
flint claims it doesn't matter if we pass it on the ground or keep on hoofing as long as it reaches a Stoke player. the odds of the ball reaching a Stoke player when hoofed are very slim and slimmer still for that player to actually score if he did get it. once again, hence the disapproval of fans and them asking for change due to it being totally ineffective. He also says he does not expect anything to change but we can"mix it up" more just because we have different players. maybe so, let's hope not! RW Stripes says Pulis' record has been very good so far, if losing ground the last 2 seasons and not winning on the road in the last 11games and only winning 4 out of the last 26 league games barely scoring any goals is very good, what does he consider poor ?”

“Nzonzi (trouble written all over him, has always caused bad feeling in the dressings room) Adam Bad news he has always ****ged of Stoke. So what has changed Mr Adam?

The true answer Blackpool's style of football suited you ( as you play with no focus nor team spirit and just look for the holliwood pass or free kick. Let me remind people that Blackpool got religated.

Liverpool you had no success there and got found out!!!!!!!!

So with :
Both keepers look ropey
Wilson just hoofing the ball up
Shawcross who looks of the pace
Huth is clearly not fit
Whealen only passing backwards
Pennant clearly not fit yet
Whitehead another midfielder who can't pass forward nor attack
Walters who no matter what he does will not get rested, has lost his sharpness
Jones who let's face it is the lazyiest footballer I have ever watched
Adam who just played for Charlie Adam FC
Nzonzi who is sponcered by Aurther Scargill

The cup defeat was the limit for me Swindon should never be able to score 4 x times at stoke, may I suggest that Mr Pullis is also getting a bit ahead of himself. We should have been more proffesional and fielded our best 11, it is the beggining of the season for god's sack.

We will get relegated this year my 50p will be on that for sure.”

“A good article and spot on with most points. I was at Wigan and didn't hear the 'don't know what you are doing chants', it can't have been many supporters. I'm not the greatest of Pullis fans myself, but for all of those out there running him down, who the hell would you replace him with ? His record so far has been very good. We all want to start to see more attractive football played through centre midfield and forget 'the cage'. I just hope the Owen signing doesn't unsettle the rest of the squad, but I can't see Owen starting many games. Let's hope for a successful and exciting season for us all ! Go on Stoke !”

“Does it matter if Charlie Adam hoofs it or passes it forward on the ground? As long as it reaches a Stoke player, which with his ability on the ball is more likely than our other midfield choices, we'll have a better chance of retaining possession. Personally I don't think we'll be changing our style any time soon, just because we still have a lot of players who suit this style of play. However we can mix it up a bit more now, which was harder before this window so that is why I consider it a success.”

“Stonemel the signings alone suggest the change in pattern of play but I don't mind how slow the change is, just hopefully our games will be more entertaining and we'll continue to play in the prem”

“Juzzah - You're incorrect.
The "dont know what youre doing" chant from morons near me was shoved back down there throats as Jeromes introduction for the below-par Kightly created the equaliser. Like every club, we have our minority of idiots... unfortunately they are extremely vocal.”

“Jwh you ask a simple question and the facts over the last two seasons have been pretty clear to see in answering your question particularly when you look at our form record since last January.
You use the word "ridiculous" to criticize negative fans perceptions. I would suggest that that is indeed ridiculous.
Please provide me with any concrete evidence that as yet Pulis has changed his attitude to his chosen pattern of play.
I thoroughly agree with you that Stoke have brought in a set of players that has created a fresh wave of excitement and one that tells fans that we might be considering a fresh approach to games. Surely he must be considering it with the talent we possess.
Let's wait and see!
Thank you Mr Coates for releasing yet more funds to the Stoke management. Let us hope that these investment prove more prudent than previous examples.”

“The majority of DO NOT back TP at the present time, the calls grew louder and louder since xmas for him to stand down,,HOWEVER he is now in a position to redeem himself, if he allows his players to PLAY and produce inventive, creative football with goals as the end product he will be welcomed back into the fold,, but if he pusues his one one dimensional hoofball ball the shouts will again gain momentum for him to stand down.

I was not at Wigan on Sat but various reports state that TP was constantly telling Adam to hit the ball long, why buy him if all he wanted was a hoofer,, I hope to see new ideas, plan A,B,C,D and E being played out over the season, we now have the players that allow us to that, all we to do is hope that TP allows them to do it,,, if he does I will again support TP”

“How can people be NOT happy with TP! It's absolutely ridiculous! Look at our team now, he has brought some fantastic players in and Pulis is gradually changing our style. The way he has approached this gradual change has been superb, keeping us in the Premier league for 4 years and we are now trying to push on to be a top half team- well done TP!”

“Dear Mr. Smith as far as I can hear most Stoke fans are far from happy with Pulis so I cannot see how you can state they back him!!!”
