      His side ruffled the feathers of even the best sides with how physical and direct they were. Defending a corner or one of Rory Delap’s rocket throw ins against them must have felt like a bantamweight taking on a heavyweight with players like Robert Huth, Peter Crouch, Ryan Shawcross, and Kenwyn Jones.

      ​​​@@NoTippyTappyFootballyes and we loved them for that. There was more to Stoke though. We had some good players and they adhered to a set of very specific instructions and a rigid game plan. Tony could make room for the right player though. Ricardo Fuller for example, he was our Cantona in may ways.

      I have been supporting Stoke since the year I was asked if I would like to go with my best mate's dad to go with his son to see Stoke play. I said yes and to see people Like Gordon Banks was wonderful at the start of the Waddington years. My mate went on to be part of the 1-0 to the Arenel gang and I have been with Stoke ever since. Pulis played the type of football that got us success at we all need to remember that yet Wado was so entertaining.

    Swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home!!!!!......... great memories from Tony's time at Stoke. People call him a dinosaur but in many ways top managers are still catching up to what he, and a few other 'dinosaurs' were doing 15-20 years ago. As a Stoke fan, the irony of Arsenal's current routine with the set piece coach on the touch line, and the importance they now place on set peices makes me chuckle. Playing center backs at full back is also considered to be a modern innovation of 'great' thinkers like Arteta. These days, when you have a trendy club with a foreign manager and better players doing it, it's considered genius. When teams like Stoke were doing that 15-20 years ago it was considered an abomonation. Something only unsophisticated, rugby loving pleb teams would sully themselves with. The ideas of these dinsosuars have kept medium sized clubs like Stoke and others in the prem for decades and clubs like Arsenal have become title contenders. Funny old game isnt it 😆

    • @kippertrace5808

    • @ParaplegicSloth
      @ParaplegicSloth Před měsícem

      @@kippertrace5808 Yes, a few teams did it but from memory it was Wenger/Arsenal that started doing it first. In fact, most home games pretty much every team did it at one point. The pitch at the Brit was as norrow as the rules would allow, so Rory could throw bullets to pretty much the far side of the area from anywhere in the opponents half. It was less effective at away games but at our place it caused so much chaos 😂

      Both of these managers have amazing stories and great careers. But when they talk high levels tactics and criticise the intricate art of tactics, pressing, building from the back, setting traps, playing a high line, keeping possession as defensive tool. Point is...we would never win any CLs or develop anywhere near..or have any sort of success with these backwards tactics. Passion and desire is their philosophy. We SHOULD have all tiers to play out for the back, play inverted fullbacks and develop our tactical play and philosophy. Why do we think the Italians and the Spanish side dominated Europe in the 90s and 00s before the foreign influence helped us evolve.
      Point is...I respect there way of playing but stop being critical of the "Tippy happy" football....as would never have won anything without this evolution due to the foreign input. Having the best players only to try and play is such a fickle comment!

      Which was fair enough really. Throw ins exist as a quick way to restart the game after the ball goes out of play. They were never intended to be an attacking set piece and “hacking” football by using them as one is against the spirit of the game.

    his sides were ok and obviously he kept them up with relative ease but they weren't a good footballing side, they weren't in the class of tony waddington's magnificent mid 70s side with alan hudson, terry conroy, jimmy greenhoff and geoff salmons, that was a brilliant team that would have given wenger's arsenal a run for their money, stoke should have been champions in 1975

    This is mostly bullshit tbh.
    Wenger whinged a lot but justifiably so as I’ve never seen a side on the end of so many games where the opposition set out to kick lumps out of them and been given complete free reign to by refs, while Arsenal got punished for much lesser offences. Probably subconscious bias by the refs because they were the flash, soft foreigners usually up against good, honest British lads rather than deliberate cheating.
    The game where Man Utd beat them to end the unbeaten run was one of the most scandalous I’ve seen. United should have had at least two red cards and another half a dozen yellows (being very conservative here) yet somehow Arsenal had more players booked than United (3-2). And to make things worse, the game was decided by one of the most blatant dives you’ve ever seen.
