I don't give a shit if you don't believe me. That's your insularity at play, which isn't my concern.
No-one knows or cares how Gus acted. It was how it looked.
Palace had a field day with us; friends who support other teams were cringeing. And yes, I was in Barcelona, talking with locals about...
So you come on here, and make meaningless assumptions about me that offer no insight into someone you've never met, then whine that you feel patronised when I retort with something equally glib?
What a charmer.
Finally.
There is an almighty difference in those two statements. That's not arguing for the sake of it - it's accepting that, in the first instance, you're putting words into Gus' mouth (or at the very least, mis-remembering) and in the second, the journalist is doing it.
Either way, Gus was...
You haven't offended me.
You behaved like this yesterday when you tried to convince yourself that someone's role in the council - written down in black and white - was something completely that you had invented.
You're creating your own reality now. I'm dealing in written word evidence. You're...
I've no idea. And nor has anyone else outside of the disciplinary process.
Even those who were told some bits and pieces aren't in a position to make a judgement. That's not evidence, it's hearsay.
You're passing on what you thought you saw - i.e. Gus saying he was going to raid Brighton for two player. In truth, there isn't a quote to confirm that he said that.
The story is perfectly believable. It doesn't follow that it's necessarily true though.
Perfectly calm.
You said 'disloyal', then 'traitor', and stuck by them for a long time. So what is the word you'd use for anyone who dares question the club, or are you sticking by 'disloyal'?
You are in no position to question my loyalties.
... which is the Mirror's comment, NOT Gus' comment.
So... where is the quote that is directly attributable to Gus that he made when he joined Sunderland about signing Bridcutt?
Just who do you think you are that you can tell me how to support the club?
First you call me a traitor for questioning the club, then you arrogantly tell me to support the club, because I am sorting out the bullshit and hysteria from the facts regarding our previous manager.
I don't recall...
Wow. You sad little man, splitting hairs.
And I guess you KNOW - as you've stated it as a fact - that Gus is lying?
I know you have a pisspoor track record in this, but I don't suppose any evidence could be forthcoming, would it?
There were some truly awful performances that night, yet there are those who blame Gus, and Gus alone for that, conveniently forgetting the previous eight weeks' results.
