Seems fair.
Had to chuckle at Pulis ahead of the first leg against Los Che saying how he hates "to see players rolling round on the floor". Tell your blokes to stop kicking seven bells out of them then
Should have heard the Channel 5 commentator last night on United's game. Early on in the game Vertonghen and I think it was Hernandez had a coming together in the Ajax box, as they went down Vertonghen was hit in the face by the United player's boot as he was falling, Vertonghen just hit the ground and held his head, which was met by "I don't think it was worth the three or four rolls from Vertonghen", he never rolled once, but a nice early dig was in on those foreigners.
I don't think I've ever seen a weirder team and coach than Stoke and Tony Pulis. They kick the crap out of every team they play, argue every call and whinge about diving, yet the moment they are touched near the halfway line, they go down and pump the ball in the box. They are the epitome of mediocrity, yet the media love them, using them as some sort of measurement of quality. "Could they do it on a Wednesday night at the Britannia? I don't think they could." Aim this question at any decent side in Europe, but Man United and Man City.
