So does this confirm Poyet's ambition or desperation? An alledged team of boozers who got the last boss sacked before he started. One point all season. Restless but fanatical support in a town where going to the beach results in hypothermia rather than a chilled out latte and the papers. And he...
In which case maybe I was a bit harsh about the written by someone desperate bit. But even a writer as good as your good self (notice the boot licking yet?) couldn't make Gus come over warmly as a person could they? Don't get me wrong, I love what he did for our club and respect him as a manager...
At some point in the next 15 or so years Gus will write an "autobiography". It will be almost unreadable, self centred drivel and ghost written by someone desperate. It will sell by the bucket load in Brighton and the surrounding area.
Let's go through Saturday's line up.
Kusz - back to his best
Calderon - nicest man on the planet and a real trier
Greer - skipper and ever present under Oscar
Upson - signed back up
Ward - new
Andrews - new
JFC - Given a chance under Oscar
Crofts - Oscar has turned him back in to a goal...
