My argument is nothing to do with gus. My argument is about the arrogance of our fans to believe every other team reached or excelled their potential but we didn't, that we were the only team that should have done better than we actually did. We weren't.

Did you see the post I was replying to? It deserved it. El Abd started 14, but only completed completed 7, games, 8 years ago. I wouldn't consider that significant experience. (according to espnsoccernet)

I'll clarify so you can go back and finish reading the post, my apologies for not making it clearer. It wasn't about one player, it was about the qualities of whichever players filled the two positions. As a team there was 4602 minutes played in the league (incl play offs and injury time)...

Yeah, but despite several tams having parachute payments to reinforce their teams, despite the investment at Cardiff. The 8m on one player at Blackburn, the established promotion chasing of hull and Middlesbrough, the loan shenanigans of Watford, and the fact el abd, Greer, bridcutt, Barnes...

They had a representative at the hearings, so they should do.
