I heard a story about the team bus on the way back from Wolves when we'd drawn 3-3. Normally, the team choose a film that they want to watch, but Poyet put Peppa Pig on because he said, 'If you play like children, you watch a children's film'.

Why did he have a Peppa Pig film to hand?

It is rather amusing that he choses to travel to games on his own on a train rather than with other directors or come home on the team bus as Harry Bloom did or even fly home.

The players flew back yesterday.

Don't know.

I wouldnt think there is a great advantage if flying into LHR so would think it would be either to LGW or possibly a small charter plane to Shoreham or to David Golds company at Biggin Hill.

The players use LGW to fly into, they have flown quite a few times this year, especially midweek games.

I believe it was Gatwick. As TB lives in North London it is easier, I presume, to get the train. The other directors flew back as well

That seems logical. Could they not fly to Shoreham but perhaps its not open that late at night.

Wrong, Darren Bloom was on the train back as well and BG Shoreham airport has not lights so no night flights and if there were the blue rinse brigade would go mad.

Thought that would be the case. Boost Meridian TV News and re-open Manston.lol.

A friend has had business dealings with him and suggested he lacks the qualities of the rest of the family. Far from genial and clinging on to the coat tails of his nicer relatives.

Agree totally.

Liam Dickenson was arguably worse as we spent £300k on him in League 1 when we were still at Withdean. He's now at Hyde I think.

At Stalybridge I think. Certainly was before Christmas when he was playing CB in a 2-0 defeat to Oxford City. They pushed him up front near the end to no avail! Good non-league day out though; especially the Stalybridge Station Buffet Bar!

I think your analysis is spot on. We did crack the problem though, but let him go to Palace for nothing.

Give it up El Pres.

You can't be talking about Agent Murray who was an abject failure in his first Championship season.
A player palace fans were desperate to get shot off.
Right up until they surrounded him with fast attacking quality and played on the front foot.

As none of that was happening here, (a hangover we're still suffering from 4 seasons later) it's fairly safe to say Murray would have been an abject failure here too, along with 18 of the 19 strikers that followed.
