Stoke winger Pennant baffled by Pulis snub

Stoke City winger Jermaine Pennant doesn't understand why he was pushed out by former manager Tony Pulis.

Pennant believes he was wrongly portrayed as a rebel after falling out of favour with Pulis at the Britannia Stadium over the past 18 months.

"It was somebody falling out with a player and then washing his hands of him. Then people jumped to the wrong conclusion," he told The Sentinel.

"But as a player, I came in every day, I wasn't late, I trained hard and gave no-one a reason to doubt anything."
