Like it. Sort of like a Quantum Leap for nihilists.

Ziggy says there's an 80 per cent chance that Tiny Penis is in fact the devil.

I'd have taken myself down the garden and gone out "Old Yeller" style.  Jesus it's bad enough having a Ferenghi in charge, Pulis looks like a lone testicle that is really missing it's mate.

He's a man for a job if you are foundering, similar to warnock and not a million miles away from the likes of Bruce. He plays anti football which is terrible to stomach week in week out

I doubt I would've gone to many games, if any at all. Football should be about entertainment, not staying up at all costs (eg. 9/10 defenders).

We'd have been relegated under Pulis.

We'd have been relegated under Pulis.

Having seen what he did for Palace 3 years ago I doubt it. They were shit, down in the ground where the dead me go in Autumn. He came along before Xmas - the bastards beat us here on Boxing Day, outplaying us in the process - and they were beating all and sundry by spring. They stayed up with ease.

He would have been a good appointment when we brought in Garde.

No goals, no midfield, porous defence. We were awful, one of the worst ever. Christ could have come down from the cross and we'd still have been no good.

I find him to be a joyless manager who seems to suck the fun out of every club he is associated with even when winning. So no thanks. West Brom fans can and should be loving their current position but Pulis isn't for me.

In fairness he has spent wisely this season and its paying off. Philips and Chadli are decent and he gets the best out of a fairly ordinary team. Scoring a few goals now as well.

Given the money Sherwood and co pissed up the wall summer 2015 then yes he would have kept us up.

Early days but Bruce's style is no different or better so far.

Pulis wouldnt be playing Gabby thats for sure

My mates don't believe me when I say I'd genuinely rather be where we are now than have Pulis as manager.

My son-in law is a Tesco Bag and he really does not like Pulis even though he enjoys the success on the field. I would never have gone for Bruce-but have been positively surprised so far, I would have dreaded the future with Pulis. It is as much to do with his demeanour as his football-I hate rose-tinted bullshitters but am sick to death of dour people. Bruce is a least somewhere in the middle and seemingly a good club man.
