We had nine shots that night, SIX on target, so no, those weren't even nearly our only chances - the first half was pretty much totally equal. Because everyone (understandably) refuses to watch that game ever since, it's been completely rewritten in our heads as some kind of mauling. It really...

Quite. No one knows what happened during around this time to change Gus INEXPLICABLY from someone who loved their job to someone who couldn't care less about it. Without this knowledge, the what followed is impossible to judge, without knowing the context from which it was borne.

We have NO IDEA what went on between Gus and PB around January-March time. This is the KEY to the whole thing and none of us know what happened.

What on EARTH are you on about? The first half was in the balance, then early in the 2nd Barnes came on and we could've easily been 2-0 up with his first two touches, barring a WONDER SAVE from Speroni and a clearance off the line. It was Gus's plan to come REALLY close to victory but just lose...

But the point is we have NO clue why it ended the way it did. We have no clue what happened around January to turn Gus from someone who loved his job into someone who couldn't care less. I'm guessing the relationship between him and Barber became unworkable, but we have no idea whatsoever why...

Players praising Gus: Dicker, Bridcutt, Bridge - all sensible, professional footballers Players slating Gus: Vicente - who has a long history of being a lunatic. Hmmmmmmmmm, it's a toughie isn't it?

This is the sensible, mature answer to the whole situation.

You predicted from about 3 years ago that Gus would be gone any day. You were EVENTUALLY always going to be right there - broken clock right twice a day etc.

Dave - looks almost exactly the same as at the start of last season - no proper pre-season. Buckley - mixed bag, as he has been ever since he got here. Barnes - trying hard with mixed end product, not much different to his time with Gus. Well it's all guesswork.

Also Liam seems like a model pro.

Which players do you think were loyal to Poyet? And you think these players are now deliberately sabotaging their own careers by playing worse for Oscar?

Ish. A number of us could see what he was trying to instill weeks before then.

YES PLEASE. Good luck Gus, Tano and Charlie.

I love how you can make any sentence sound like a dig at Gus, even if it's a totally logical and reasonable sentence.
