windermereROYAL Huddersfield fans must be laughing their nuts off today, hard to see them picking up another point but the chasing pack shot themselves in the foot.
Remainng games
Swansea v Southampton.
Southampton V Man city.
Swansea v Stoke.
With GD each of them need to 2 points to finish above Hudds. so I`m hoping for a saints win on Tuesday.

Victor Meldrew West Brom must be cursing both getting rid of Pulis and employing that imbecile Pardew.
Their own fault of course.

They certainly won't be cursing getting rid of Pulis. They were playing awful football and losing. Appointing Pardew was the mistake.

It was quite annoying at he time, when the fans wanted Pulis out, that the media kept phrasing the choice as "would you rather have boring premier league football under Pulis, or relegation?" as if keeping Pulis guaranteed survival, and sacking him guaranteed going down.
I believe WBA will be the first team to get relegated as a consequence of sacking him.

I often think back to Curbishley at Charlton when they sacked him when lower mid-table in the Premier League on the basis that he had taken them as far as he could.
I bet many West Brom and Stoke fans this morning are thinking that boring football but still being in the Premier League is preferable to where they are heading.
Likewise most Cardiff fans and Reading fans (if we had fluked it at Wembley) would take being in the Premier League over watching entertaining football.
Personally I prefer to watch entertaining football over boring but successful however I suspect that I am in a minority by a considerable distance.

Wonder how well and how quickly Sunderland can turn it round. Much of their current squad is on the way in the summer and they're bound to have the pick of whoever they want from that level, so if they get the right manager in they could they find themselves "steamrollering" their way to the division title. Might be a threat to Reading's 106 if it clicks from day one.

The problem is, Victor, that people will put up with boring football if it is getting results. It had stopped getting results for WBA under Pulis.
They won both their opening games (both 1-0, total Pulis-ball) but since August 19th to 18th November - last game before he was fired, his record read:
P 10 W 0 D 4 L 6 F 7 A 18
This included 4 straight defeats prior to his sacking.
Pulis is great at digging clubs out of a slump and pulling them to safety, what he has never had to do certainly at PL level is turn round a team that is in freefall and been found out. He showed no sign of being able to do that at WBA.
I would wager that you would struggle to find a single WBA fan who, even with relegation looming, is unhappy that Pulis was fired. The error was Pardew.

A lot of press stories/rumours suggesting he is not being considered, which seems ridiculous. Guess it could be argued that the players are just performing as there is no pressure on them now but would think he deserves a shot next season. If he completes the impossible escape, then I can't see how they can't give him next season.
