West Bromwich Albion had just produced a typical Tony Pulis performance to beat his former club Crystal Palace 2-0 when he claimed he will never change . The 57-year-old ’ s gritty , resilient playing style is well reflected in the touchline attire he insists on wearing at every game ; cap , track suit and shiny white trainers . James Morrison headed in within two minutes and Craig Gardner added a stunning 30-yard strike in the second half , but Alan Pardew ’ s side dominated the remainder of the game only to be met by West Brom ’ s stubborn doggedness .

I came down after 10 minutes because I ’ d had enough of sitting there . That ’ s just the way I am . I want to be close to the action. ’ West Brom ended their run of 10 away games without a victory , drawing five and losing five . Pulis will turn up to the stadium in suit and tie , then return to that again straight after the match to address the press before he leaves . Pardew was resplendent in full suit and tie on Saturday . Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino admitted last week that he started smartening up on the sideline after his chairman Daniel Levy told him to . ‘ I ’ ll leave it for all the sophisticated lads , ’ Pulis added . ‘ I ’ ve always done it and I don ’ t see no reason not to just because we ’ re in the Premier League with all the TV cameras and everything . I ’ ve done it right from my days at Bournemouth. ’ Why change a ritual that works ? The three points moved West Brom to 36 points which virtually guarantees them safety . Much like he achieved at Palace last year . That ’ s worth doffing your cap to . Palace winger Wilfried Zaha ( left ) is tackled by West Brom 's Gardener ( right ) during the match on Saturday .
