Stoke City boss Tony Pulis paid tribute to his players after their victory over West Brom.
He said: "As a manager, I've never worked with the money other clubs have had, but I've always had a very honest team - and these lads are the same.
"I don't like spivs around the place. I like honest people who will turn up in the week and on Saturdays and give their best.
"Whether they are short in certain areas, I'll take that but the teams I've always put together are always honest and hard-working."
