Northern Red Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 1 hour ago, SecretSam said: Yeah, but did you go to that Bournemouth game after he left? Atmosphere in the away end was unbelievable. And we won! I wasn't at the game but remember listening to it on Radio Bristol. During the post match phone-in, the first caller came on, he'd been at the game and Twentyman asked him what he thought. The guy replied "one word Geoff, TRIFFIC!"* * For those too young to remember or had managed to successfully block out the whole sorry period, "triffic" was one of Pulis's favourite words.

We’d thought we were getting Moyes but instead we were saddled with a manager who only seemed intent upon damaging the then still brittle foundations of our club. His brand of football was and still remains, truly dire. He hated us and we hated him, resulting in a truly toxic atmosphere clouding BS3. If you weren’t around to witness it, be thankful. I have one abiding memory of his reign and that was the dullest game of football I've ever seen - it was a 0-0 v Wycombe, possibly a Friday evening and if they were still playingl today, it would still be 0-0. The odd thing about his time was that we could't score for toffee but had Tony Thorpe in the squad and he hardly got to play. He was a top goalscorer at that level. Maybe something to do with him being a nippy small guy and not the 6ft6 lump that Pulis has always gone for. [Edit] just checked Wikipedia and Thorpe went on to score 51 in 128 games for City and Pulis wouldn't play him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few more years on you, it seems!!!! I remember watching us lose at Oxford with a mate, who thought we were utter sh17 (we were) but picked out Ivan as being "really handy" Imagine Korey Smith, except harder, with a bit more vision.
