Tony Pulis stokes the flames by claiming officials favour big clubs
Taking on Chelsea evokes bitter memories for Tony Pulis. At Stamford Bridge last season, Chelsea scored twice in the last two minutes to defeat Stoke and, when the teams met at the Britannia Stadium in September, Carlo Ancelotti's side grabbed an injury-time winner. Yet, for the Stoke manager, those matches are not so much a reminder of the importance of playing until the final whistle, but evidence of the way referees favour the big clubs at times.
