NOT all the media made Stoke's press conference with time, indicating that by the end of the night one reporter asked: "So, inform me again, what did Dave Kemp say about Kid Creole and the Coconuts?" Erm, nothing. Nevertheless, Stoke's associate boss did compare Tony Pulis to a coconut, in the sense that managers are always in the firing line, much like on a fairground afraid. Willing TO HOLD ON: Stoke director Tony Pulis gives his hand to Norwich employer Chris Hughton after the match on Saturday. Inset: More tributes were paid to Stoke hero Paul Ware, both ahead of the game and in the 42nd second. Pictures: Phil Radcliffe It had been a fair position. In my experience though, these tough almonds certainly are a lot harder to get rid of than you believe. Based on some in the press, Tony Pulis's P45 is already from the cabinet. But, it is very possible that the people who will actually make your decision, the Coates family, do not know very well what they will do yet.

Contact: 01782 940970 Good until: Friday, Might 31 2013 After the game, Pulis couldn't confirm whether he'd still be in place next year though, let us be fair, which director aside from Sir Alex Ferguson may say with any confidence when they can still maintain a job? Pulis did confirm he wants to stay at Stoke, and has strengthened his hand with a on Saturday which almost certainly obtains Premier League soccer for City for a sixth consecutive year. A week or two ago, when Stoke were given the run around at the Britannia Stadium by Aston Villa, Premier League security looked a long way away indeed. However they deserved their win at QPR last week and certainly deserved to win on Saturday against a Norwich part who have been fortunate to not lose by more targets than Charlie Adam's 46th-minute reach. Norwich director Chris Hughton explained Stoke as "at their most direct" and did not seem to mean this as an insult. That too appeared obvious as they were an even more physical, decided, and he also said Stoke have been eager to have back to basics and, to be good, confident, area than when they were outfought and outplayed by Villa. Norwich always looked miserable against Cameron Jerome's speed, while Peter Crouch was exemplary. However, Adam was the deserving man of the match after an all-action performance, crowned by his third goal of the season. It's not always been clear where Adam could easily fit into at Stoke, having been utilized in 'the gap' behind the striker to limited effect. He is back the area on the right side, but did not let that reduce him as he revealed occasions after the break when he burst through the middle of the area to pounce on Peter Crouch's header and punch the ball past Mark Bunn. Adam's feelings following the purpose were with his father, who died in December. In fact, it was an emotional time because the team compensated a tribute to City hero Paul Ware by playing highlights of his time at Stoke on the big screen before the game over-all. Norwich fans joined in the applause, while they did in the 42nd second when fans again recommended the midfielder who has died, aged just 42. A chorus of "There is one Paul Ware" followed, with many supporters doing their best to become listed on in while still wiping away the tears. Recently was two decades since Ware and promotion was won by the rest of the Lou Macari class of 1992/93 from the 3rd level with a brand of engaging, attacking football. These types of thrills have not frequently been obvious through the current plan as just fewer goals have been scored by doomed QPR. But Pulis has again steered City to criticism and safety should really be tempered by the fact this is one relatively weak time out of seven since he came back to the club. Okay, Stoke were the cheapest scorers in the team last time, but Newcastle United's present complications claim that Stoke's success in competing in the Europa League, while quickly preventing relegation last year has been underestimated. Some changes to the team is likely to be required in the summer, whoever the director. In the end, the back-to-back wins against QPR and Norwich still make it only three wins from City's last 16 league games. But, it is still very possible that those summer plans is going to be schemed from underneath a baseball cap. That's maybe not the only real question which remains unanswered. For starters, which good fresh fruit, or indeed lover, will TP be compared to next?
