I've never heard it with that meaning, always as 'things will get better soon'. Which certainly doesn't look to be true for Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which certainly doesn't look to be true for Villa. I think it may be used that way, but English is not my Mother tongue, so I may be incorrect. Lets hope things will get better soon, I think there is a good possiblity it will get better next season, although I wouldn't bet on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it was a straight choice between Pulis or the likes of Pearson, McCarthy, Bruce, Grayson, Southgate, Coleman, Neville, he's probably the least worst of those.

Yeah but on everything else he's horrible, just horrible. I know football is about results but Pulis' football is so bad that I'd much rather take a bigger risk on somebody else.

jacketspuds Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Pulis would be awful. I know Pearson is an egotisitical douche but Pulis is an out and out spunk trumpet. Employing him would pretty much be the exact opposite of the Garde appointment. We'd be stupid to go from a manager who tries to get the team playing, albeit unsuccessfully, and is renowned for trying to build teams, to a manager who plays awful football and is even worse than Allardyce. I'd actually detest the appointment of Pulis more than when we brought in McLeish. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would appear my idealism has been compromised slightly in the face of our impending relegation. Don't get me wrong, I still hope we aim higher but then you look at the aforementioned names and realise what a sorry situation it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 "The Disciplinarian" sounds like a bad 90's wrestler name, alternatively some sort of fetish lady... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 My worry is that the board will see somebody like Pearson as a disciplinarian just because he comes across as "hard". Moyes would definitely fit the bill though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the mods should put it in the code of the site so that it replaces the word 'Pulis' every time it is put in a post (a bit like 'Clearing in The Woods' and 'Word Removed'). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
