If Pulis is as good as Colin then his first signings will be the McKay twins.
Your first and third paragraphs are just rubbish. Rewriting the facts to suit your own agenda. Trollope couldn't manage his way out of a paper bag. Since when has it mattered how a goal goes in - a goal is a goal whether it is scored from 30 yards or from one yard off the strikers backside. You diss Zohores goal at Southampton just because you think it makes your argument look better - it doesn't, it just makes it look even more petty. We deserved and should have had three points against Chelsea at home, apart from the incompetence of a linesman and a referee, who both admitted that they got it wrong. Losing that game in the way we did knocked the stuffing out of the players, leading to the results against Burnley, Fulham and Palace. Two points from safety with a game to go is a totally different ball game. Who knows what would have happened there then but what I do know is that Man Utd’s confidence was shot, OGS was out of his depth and their players weren't interested in playing for him. If we had still won we would have stayed up. You need a slice of luck to stay up in a first season in the Premier League - ours was taken away by two officials who didn't do their jobs properly.
How long did it take you to write this bollocks?
For starters, I never dissed Zohore's goal, I just merely described it as a way of a memory jog about that Southampton game. I describe Robson-Kanu's winner against Slovenia in the same way. I think that, and Camerasa's winner at Leicester were in my favourite moments of the season.
You are now blaming the late defeat against Chelsea for other results that happened 2, 4 and 5 weeks later That's as imbecilic as it gets!
What about referencing Sol Bamba's offside goal at home to Brighton? Had that not stood, the Chelsea result would have been irrelevant. You also forget he should have been booked for taking off his shirt (whether that's right or wrong is not the issue here, I'm just applying the law of the game), should have been red carded and he'd have missed the next game.
Carry on believing that the Chelsea result was the one that cost us if it makes you feel better. Most of us know that there were far more reasons than one solitary incident. Relegation happens over a season. We weren't good enough. Players weren't collectively good enough. Manager and his team weren't good enough.
Warnock did a fantastic job in turning everything around and getting us promoted, it's what Warnock does best.
If he was working in the commercial world, he'd be hired to turn around a struggling company and make into a profitable business
Once this is achieved these guts move on to the next crisis company and repeat the process.
Our biggest mistake with Warnock was allowing him to stay and compete in an environment that he has never been successful in, easy to say in hindsight I know but the club is run by successful business men, who wouldn't think twice about appointing someone to do a certain role and then thanking them with a hefty bonus for achieving that goal.
What was needed once promotion was achieved was to get a successful manager in with experience of that league, so we stayed in there longer than a strawberry season.
Warnock did the job he was employed to do, the mistake was asking him to do a different role.
Whatever anyone thinks of Pullis, he adapted and kept Stoke in the Premier league, something Warnock has never done in his long career.
If Boro get promoted this season, you can bet your bottom dollar that Steve Gibson will have someone lined up for next year to replace him
So that's the end of his "dulcet tones" on Sky on Saturdays
