That’s clearly West Brom fans singing it, you can see the segregation in the stand opposite, and you can clearly hear the accent of the guy filming it that he’s from the Black Country!

WBA fans have regularly stated in phone ins that their detestation for Pulis and his mind numbing 'football' is so strong that they'd far rather be in the Championship without him than continue to suffer watching his infuriatingly tedious negativity at the top level. Many STH's have stopped attending ( or even renewing) and they regularly sell less than 1k tickets to away matches these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend who is a Baggies fan and he appreciates what Pulis has done for the club and likes seeing world class players at the Hawthorns. I don't know anyone who loves Pulis . His wife perhaps . He is appreciated and respected for what he does but is not a love able rogue like ' Arry . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be respected and appreciated by your particular Baggies friend ( who seems to take much of his enjoyment from watching the big name players of the opposition, so perhaps views seeing them regularly as more important than the health of his own club ) but I suggest, going from phone ins, he is very much in the minority at the Hawthorns. It's quite clear from their attendances, the gloom ridden atmosphere, the open hostility to Pulis, and their embarrassing away followings - who realise there is little point travelling only to be bored witless by his tactics) that they dislike Pulis and his style of football immensely and in great numbers, and want him gone. In general, I've no doubt they'll be as delighted when he finally leaves their club as we were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anyone who loves Pulis . His wife perhaps . He is appreciated and respected for what he does but is not a love able rogue like ' Arry . I too have a West Brom-supporting mate. He loved the times when first they were building a top class Championship side, then finally made it back to the Prem, followed by their famous 'Survival Saturday' back in 2005. Being a yo-yo club was exciting for them, until finally they became established in the top flight. For the past year or so he's often told me how much he is hating being a mid-table Premier League club under Pulis, and for the first time in many years, has stopped going regularly. Each season is like the last, with nothing to look forward to except reaching the magic 40 points. He now tells me, ominously, "this is what you've got to look forward to" (although he possibly has a bit more confidence than I do in City's promotion prospects).

Steve Watts Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 I think I would rather see us yo yo trying to play the sort of football we're playing now than watch a stable side (and WBA aren't even that now!) playing dire football.

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 I like Pulis and I think he is respected by other managers. His interview after the game on Saturday was thoughtful and sensible. I'm sure he'll find a home somewhere else fairly quickly if West Brom dispense with his services - in fact I'm rather surprised that Sunderland didn't make him an offer.
