This is Staffordshire

STOKE manager Tony Pulis paid tribute to his team's stamina and determination after they ground out a goalless draw at home to Champions-League chasing Aston Villa this afternoon.

The game was City's 11th in 41 days, and their third in the last seven days. But, in a game of few chances, they matched the visitors in a scrappy first half before looking the more likely winners in the second.

    “I think that Stoke played much better after Tuncay and Sidebe were replaced with Fuller and Kitson. I don't believe though, that Tuncay should have gone off and I don't blame him for his reaction. Tunny is a great player, but what chance has he got of any creative partnership being formed with Sidebe. Mama is not good enough for the premier league and everyone knows it except Tony Pulis. How can he leave Kitson or Fuller on the bench and play Mama? Tony is being loyal to Mama for helping us get to the Premier league, he now needs to repay the loyalty of us the fans who pay our money week in and week out, by playing his best players instead of keeping "jobs for the boys". I don't think we could have a better manager at Stoke than Tony and in the main he does a great job, but we all have worked for managers in all walks of life, who get it wrong sometimes. Tony gets it wrong with his misplaced loyalty to players who wouldn't make the bench in nineteen other Premier league teams. Get a grip Tony, or you will lose our loyalty.”
