Tony Pulis labelled as "absolutely disgraceful" the way he believes Stoke have "spun" claims he called Ryan Shawcross a "loser."
The West Brom manager, whose team on Saturday rescued a 2-2 Premier League draw at West Ham with Gareth McAuley's stoppage-time header, said he used the word "loser" but not in an aggressive way.
As the fall-out from Saido Berahino's ban for using a recreational drug and his transfer from West Brom to Stoke continued, their manager Mark Hughes on Friday insisted his predecessor Pulis called Shawcross a loser in a voicemail he left the defender.
