That is actually embarrassing for Arsenal.Though to be fair, Arsenal fans have been trying to get rid of Wenger for years now..

Are their fans happy with that?

Don't think Arsenal fans have been happy for years, shows how the Premier League has changed football fans everywhere.

I bet Norwich fans loved their 5-4 loss to Liverpool, they might have lost but they played great attacking football. Their fans probably walked away from that game with a massive smile on their face.

I get the sarcasm, but, even if they left unhappy they can reflect on seeing some great goals, good football and plenty of entertainment, whereas we can reflect on "another point"

I don't give a monkeys about Norwich or any other team for that matter.

Why can't we try and play attractive football and win games? Believe it or not it is possible to do just that and survive in the premier league.

I think big Sam will get Sunderland out of it. Our two games against them and the toon are massive. We are and will be in the mix. Results gone against today . Swansea for me is a must win and I can't see where our next win is coming from

there's also a difference between losing to Liverpool while scoring 4 goals and barely even having a shot against the worst team in the league.

Perhaps better to compare like for like.

At home against Villa Norwich secured 3 points, we got 1

We have done that though. After the two wins against Newcastle and Stoke while drawing to Chelsea where we played some good attacking football it seemed the majority of Albion fans on here were more than pleased with the football and Pulis.

If that's the case why did Pulis revert to normal service against the worst team in the league?

This could go on all night.   ;D

Ultimately in my opinion Pulis is way to negative.

He is negative at times, I don't and wouldn't dispute it at all, just feel the over-reaction on here at times is embarrassing from some.

Beauty sleep. That's why I'm a handsome bloke and you are, well say no more!  ;D

Personally I don't feel I overreact, my stance with Pulis remains the same win, lose or draw.

Granted when we win I am in a better mood, however I remain convinced we would be better off if we had a new manager some time soon.

You wish you were as handsome as me  :D

I don't deny we could be better off with someone else but my attitude hasn't changed since he came. Didn't want him, wanted someone like him, strong character as those before him in the main at many roles within the club haven't been upto it, I didn't think it would be pretty but also won't be a quick fix. I think he's perfect for Peace, won't threaten the top 7 but will see us between 12th and 16th each season. I think when he goes he will leave us on a more solid foundation than when he came and if the club is taken over he will be gone not long after. I think the next appointment is massive, if its another untried/ untested then what has the whole point been in appointing him ?

Pulis is indeed a strong character, and I believe he is an improvement given our time under Irvine who clearly was not up to the task.

That said I'm not convinced we are guaranteed safety under Pulis.

What frustrates me is his reluctance to change the way we play, our shape and his use of the squad.

Surely when you play the likes of Villa at home you have to be more attack minded than when you play Manchester City.

Yesterday we should have been on the front foot from the first minute.

We have a player in Evans who is an excellent centre half, why play him at full back simply to utilise an unfit Ollsson

I agree with most of it but I think we'll stay up, not saying we'll be far away from the drop zone but think we'll be okay and the £££££'s can come flooding in which is the aim more than anything. Wouldn't say I like it but I expected nothing different.

We are only 7 off the drop.
If we don't start scoring and winning games we shall be even closer.

Statement of the obvious right there.

Yeah the teams below are beginning to show some fight and strengthening. The way it is with Pulis though is that we'll get enough points through dogged determination and it will rarely be pretty.

Been there before with Mel, think back to Cardiff at home, with the late goals, I know I didnt leave the ground then with a smile on my face.

Id rather be leaving a game knowing we got 1 point instead of 0.

We've had too many days like that, Reading away 2-0 up lost 3-2, same at QPR under Irvine when we handled the hat-trick hero Austin "very well". Wasn't smiles those days either.

Sorry, but that's wrong. They actually managed to have 1 shot on target.

It may only be 1, but it's more than us. And they weren't playing the team bottom of the league.
