Bit of a fun competition

Postby gillie » Mon May 15, 2017 5:38 pm

Seeing as Tony Pulis nearly always mentions our money and resources hen do you think he will mention it again.

A. Pre-match interview.
B. Post-match interview.
C. He will completely change tack and not mention our money.

I am going for B.

I think he'll get his retaliation/face saving in first and he'll choose A.

I can guarantee Michael, it won't be C!!

Post match.....

If they loose: we can't compete with all their money and resources, look I can't even afford a suit, all I've got is this tracksuit, the missus even had to buy me the baseball cap for me birthday

If they win: we outplayed them, what's that squad worth, £1 billion?

If they draw: I think we deserved more from the game, given the gulf like difference between ours and theirs fortunes

He will mention before the game to set up his excuse for another defeat

He will mention after the game as a reason for the defeat.

The pundits will agree with him and slag us off

All while completely ignoring the same difference between the rags and Southampton the next day. Amazing how little the media as talked about the professional dabber costing 90 million (more than many PL teams) and doing fuckall. Just image if we signed a 90 million pound flop - it would be mentioned nonstop for years.

I wonder if it's a real skill, being able to scratch your head whilst wearing a scruffy, moth-eaten baseball cap ??

He's still bitter and twisted over the Gillingham playoff game.

Why would he bother starting at A? He's probably been shouting it out in his sleep from the moment he realised City were the next game.

Couldn't give a flying fuck...someone should remind him of his Gillingham experience from City...when we were skint.
Nice that you're back Mate.

He kind of mentions it in his pre-match interview - although he's broadening it to the top six now:

"I can see those top six, seven getting further away. They have the resources to make that gap bigger and bigger.

"They'll spend more because of the competition to reach the Champions League."

West Brom have done about as well as anyone could've imagined. Still no top 6 team would touch Pulis with a 10 foot pole. Tells you all you need to know.

Bitter little man.

Well, none of those options were correct. He never referred to the amount of money City have spent directly, although there was a passing reference to the money spent by the top six. He also referred to the amount WBA have available/spent.
In fact he was very generous about our performance, said we fully deserved it.

Maybe he's seen this thread!

Is there a bromance going on between Pep and Tony? They did a lot of hugging pre-game and Pep mentioned in the presser that he was late due to having a glass of wine with him.

Maybe Pulis is trying for a loan signing or two next season.
