NOT all the media made Stoke's press conference with time, meaning that by the end of the morning one writer asked: "So, tell me again, what did Dave Kemp say about Kid Creole and the Coconuts?" Erm, nothing. But, Stoke's associate employer did review Tony Pulis to a grape, in the sense that managers are usually in the firing line, just like on a fairground afraid. KEEN TO CARRY ON: Stoke manager Tony Pulis gives his hand to Norwich boss Chris Hughton following the match on Saturday. Inset: More tributes were paid to Stoke hero Paul Ware, both prior to the game and in the 42nd second. Pictures: Phil Radcliffe It was a reasonable stage. In my experience though, these difficult nuts are a lot harder to get rid of than you think. According to some in the media, Tony Pulis's P45 is already from the drawer. Nevertheless, it's very possible that individuals who'll can even make your choice, the Coates family, do not know very well what they'll do yet.

Contact: 01782 940970 Appropriate until: Friday, Might 31 2013 Following the game, Pulis could not confirm whether he'd still be in place next time though, let us be fair, which director apart from Sir Alex Ferguson may say with any confidence if they may still maintain a job? Pulis did verify he wants to remain at Stoke, and has strengthened his hand with a on Saturday which probably protects Premier League football for City for a sixth successive year. A week ago, when Stoke got the run around at the Britannia Stadium by Aston Villa, Premier League security appeared a long way away indeed. However they deserved their win at QPR the other day and certainly deserved to win on Saturday against a Norwich part who were fortunate to not lose by more targets than Charlie Adam's 46th-minute hit. Norwich manager Chris Hughton explained Stoke as "at their most direct" and did not appear to mean this being an insult. He also said Stoke was willing to obtain back once again to basics, and that also seemed obvious as they were an even more real, established and, to be honest, comfortable, part than when they were outfought and outplayed by Villa. Norwich always looked miserable against Cameron Jerome's pace, while Peter Crouch was excellent. Nevertheless, Adam was the deserving man of the fit after an all-action performance, topped by his next goal of the growing season. It has not always been apparent where Adam could easily fit into at Stoke, having been utilized in 'the hole' behind the striker to minimal effect. He is in the side on the right wing, but didn't allow that limit him as he revealed times after the break when he burst through the centre of the area to pounce on Peter Crouch's header and drill the ball past Mark Bunn. Adam's thoughts following the goal were together with his father, who died in December. In fact, it had been an emotional time because a moving tribute was paid by the club to City hero Paul Ware by playing highlights of his time at Stoke on the large screen before the game all round. Norwich fans joined in the applause, while they did in the 42nd minute when fans again acclaimed the midfielder who has died, aged only 42. A huge chorus of "There is just one Paul Ware" followed, with many supporters doing their finest to join in while nevertheless wiping away the tears. Yesterday was twenty years since Ware and promotion was won by the rest of the Lou Macari class of 1992/93 from the next level with a brandname of entertaining, attacking football. Those kinds of thrills haven't frequently been apparent throughout the present campaign as only fewer goals have been scored by doomed QPR. But Pulis has again steered City to security and criticism should really be tempered by the fact this is one relatively poor year out of seven since he returned to the membership. Ok, Stoke were the best scorers in the section last season, but Newcastle United's recent problems declare that Stoke's success in fighting in the Europa League, while easily preventing relegation last year has been overlooked. Some changes to the squad will be required in the summer, whoever the boss. After all, the back-to-back wins against QPR and Norwich still ensure it is only three wins from City's last 16 league games. Nevertheless, it is still very possible that these summer strategies will undoubtedly be schemed from underneath a baseball cap. That's perhaps not the only problem which remains unanswered. For starters, which fresh fruit, or indeed lover, will TP be when compared with next?
