Tone has at least not blamed Europe or Howard Webb, but 'just not good enough'- care to elaborate?
He looks like he's just taken the paint off.
Absolutely Unc. We're 3 points off the drop now. These games are now our biggest of the season. Back against the wall and a fucking ferocious atmosphere at home time.

Said something along the lines of as bad, if not worse, than in any of the 200 games he's been in charge.. Questioned what's so difficult about running about and tackling..? Looked severely pissed..

We might as well just fucking give up travelling to away games and take a 3-0 forfeit defeat. I feel sorry for those that travel to away games to watch us surrender time after time.
Somehow, we've managed to get worse away than we were last season. Dress it up however you like, it simply isn't good enough from the management to the players. I'd be after a fucking refund if I'd had to go and watch that horror show. Again.

Wonder if limp-wristed Radio Stoke will dare to ask him any probing questions?

He can be as pissed as he wants to be with the players but a large proportion of blame form has to be laid at his door. The tactics, the team selections - they're just fucking awful.

You can tackle all you like it is what you do with the ball once the tackle is won and in our case away from home it is normally back in our box.

I was thinking this morning that I'd be happy to do well in Europe this year and avoid relegation, as long as we don't do so well that we're in the bloody thing again. Then next year, start to push on.

that was the worst shite I've had the displeasure to sit through since the dark days utter utter fuckin shite Mr Pulis, only you to blame, oh and Begovic for the first two, however you picked him Mr Pulis after recent poor showings. On the plus side if you watch MOTD 2 you should see me on the front row behind the left hadn post in a red coat with my head in my hands

I wasn't there today so can't comment on individual players or tactics.
Two things are valid though imo: one, I think playing seven games in 22 days at all times and in various countries absolutely does have an impact on performance. I remember a couple of years back Rangers were heavily involved in the old UEFA Cup and leading their domestic league by about five points too. They had to shoehorn 10 games into the final 40 days and ended up winning neither. It is definitely a problem for us and a bonus for the home side manager's team talk "they're knackered, get into them and keep going for 90 mins and you'll win this". Getting dicked 4-0 at Sunderland and 5-0 at Bolton just wouldn't happen without the additional strains of Europe (imo).
Second, we are one of the 12 or 14 teams who will always be relegation possibilities even if it's just fringe candidates. I think to even start thinking of ourselves as safe as houses leads to some of the usual "shall we/shan't we sack Pulis" over-reaction on other sites.
I think we're a decent lower midtable side. Think back to the start of the season, Chelsea, ManU and Liverpool all good performances. What's changed since? Extra games in a short space of time. All the independent comments say we look tired, slow to the ball and jaded and that's cos of Europe.
