In fact I was told by Charlie Oatway at a fans forum a few years ago, that Gus had banned all of his players and coaching staff from reading NSC.

I'm applying for next years apprentice. When it's my turn to be project manager, I'm just going to do a poo on the table and let the rest of it take care of itself.

No shit....
If it is true (what the palace captain said) and the players all knew, I can't see how it would fire them up. That would only work if they didn't know and thought it was deliberate.

“If I knew, I would get the person because that incident has affected my career.
The only thing that affected Poyet’s career was his own massive ego. We were never good enough for him, hence all the touting and the frankly disgusting and disrespectful post match interview. He is in denial....and out of work.

It was known very soon after the game(as in, a matter of days), but not before the match.
Holloway's rage is not an act. He definitely didn't know at the time.

You've got to admire Gus's innate ability to make absolutely everything about him.

The reaction to what occurred during and after that match amazes me even now. When people (on our side) think of the game, what do they remember?
Clackers, and Poogate, that’s what.
We lost that game because we played dismally in the second half, after appearing the better side for the first half and much of the first leg. The Albion came out for the second half at the Amex and were clueless and rudderless. Under any normal circumstances, fans would be questioning what on earth the manager had said to his team at half time, querying both his tactical acumen and his motivational skills. Instead, we still talk fearfullyof clackers like they actually had some physical impact upon events, and of somebody with a stomach upset not quite making it to the toilet.
It was Poyet who raised both issues after the game, albeit in an internal email, but I wouldn’t mind betting it was him- or his people- who leaked it (the email, not the, er, other) to the media. Either way, it was an episode of blame-dodging that Harry Redknapp would be proud of, and to this day, I can’t understand how Poyet STILL seems to avoid being held responsible for the on-field performance.
I don’t particularly want to have clackers at the Amex, but they were considerably less culpable for that defeat than our manager on the night.
It’s really time to see Poyet’s outburst for what it transparently was, folks, a bloody enormous smoke-screen to disguise his own ineptitude when it came to the crunch.

Our worst ever loss? Really? Did you go to Sudbury? Kingstonians? Any game at gillingham? The last few seasons at the goldstone? Losing 4-1 at bath when playing against Bristol rovers in 1992? I have attended some horrendous losses compared to a play off loss...palace away 5-0 !!!
Fixed for the pair of you.
I remember Barnes hitting the bar and Ward clearing off the line, then Bolasie putting in a good cross for Zaha.

I can confirm that I too have had a bad stomach before but yet have NEVER shat on the floor.
Although I have managed to get it on the ceiling before.

Poyet's an egotistical nutter with no class. He's his own worst enemy. Can anyone imagine Chris Hughton acting like that under similar circumstances? No? Thought not.

Given what was at stake and the opposition, I would say it was our worst ever loss.
Sudbury, Kingstonian, and the 5-0 at Palace were embarrassing. That play-off defeat to our arch rivals in front of a packed Amex and live TV was truly gutting in terms of what the defeat meant at the time.

It's sad in a way because I want to be able to remember all the good things that happened under GP's watch. But I can't because he's a total bellend.
