Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E whakaae ana te kaiwhakahaere o West Brom, a Tony Pulis, he tino whakapehapeha ia ki te angitu o Stoke i raro i a Mark Hughes na te mea kei te kokoti tana kaiwhaiwhai i nga hua o tana ake mahi i te Whare Taonga o Britannia. Ka pōwhiri a Pulis i tana karapu o mua ki te Whenua Pango i te Rāhoroi e tūmanako ana ki te whati i te rekoata toa 100 ōrau a Stoke ki The Hawthorns. Ahakoa kei te haere nga Baggies ki te tukinga i muri i nga hinganga e rua ki nga hoa whawhai o te rohe a Aston Villa i roto i te riiki me te kapu, kei te rapu a Stoke mo te wikitoria tuawha i muri mai ka noho i te tuawaru o te Barclays Premier League. E whakaae ana a Tony Pulis e whakapehapeha ana ia ki te kite i te angitu o Stoke i te Pirimia Pirimia i tenei wa. Ahakoa kaore a Pulis i kii i te angitu o Stoke i tenei wa, i koa te Welshman ki te tohu i tana awe i roto i ta raatau roopu. 'Ko te mea nui ki ahau mo te karapu ko te waiho i roto i te tikanga ka taea e ia te tipu me te tipu me te pai ake,' i kii ia. 'Tirohia ngā kaitākaro kei reira, ko te tuara o taua karapu whutupaoro, pēnei i a Glenn Whelan, Ryan Shawcross, Asmir Begovic, Steven N'Nonzi, Peter Crouch, Jon Walters, hei whakahuatia noa iho. 'Ko Marc Wilson, ko Geoff Cameron, he tangata whakamiharo, he tohunga ngaio hoki, ā, he tino pai ina riro i a koe tētahi karapu me ngā tohunga ngaio katoa pēnei.' I tāpiri atu ia: 'E hia ngā kaitākaro kua kawea mai e Mark? 'E kore ahau e mohio engari te nuinga o nga tama e i reira i mua tonu te ahua ki te kia tangohia wiki-i roto i te wiki-i waho, e te whakaaturanga ki a ratou rite takitahi ki te riro i runga i te kaiwhakahaere hou. Ko Pulis te tohu mo te 'huinga' o te taha o Stoke, kei roto ko Ryan Shawcross (i runga) 'Ko Glenn Whelan me Ryan Shawcross anake nga mea i reira i te wa i whakatairangahia ai matou mai i te Championship. He tino pai rātau. A he tino pai rātau ki te karapu whutupaoro.' Kei te ruarua a Albion mo nga kaiwhawhai a Saido Berahino, Brown Ideye me Victor Anichebe mo te tukinga. I pāhekoheko a Berahino rāua ko Ideye i te ārai mamae i ngā rā tata nei i te wā e raru ana a Anichebe i tōna kōhao. He wharanga waewae ta te winger Callum McManaman, kua whakatauhia e te rangatira a Tony Pulis kia okioki...
Ko Tony Pulis te mea i whai hua ai a Stoke i te Pirimia Pirimia. E whakapehapeha ana a Pulis ki nga kaitakaro i hangaia e ia i a ia i Britannia. Ka tū a West Brom ki te whakataetae Pirimia i te Rātapu.
