I'm surprised you didn't get in touch with Poyet and offer your services at the Employment Tribunal then!
Mullery's was more exciting to watch.
Can't believe how ridiculously naïve that statement is. There was a wave of excitement growing as the stadium neared completion. The stadium did...
He may well have said that at a press conference, I don't doubt it. However, what he says to the press and, ergo, for the consumption of the general footballing public, doesn't change what he said or felt behind closed doors with TB.
And that, to me, seems to be the problem. A romantic picture you painted of him is not supported by the reports from Bloom, which, as far as I'm aware, haven't been refuted by Poyet, so you ignore them!!!! Poyet will no doubt be flattered by your continuing love of him. :facepalm:

So, instead of it being the 'wistful musings'...
Fine, I go back to the two before that, Ward tearing defences apart and making defenders look like mugs. We won loads of games 3 or 4 nil. Add in a couple of games with 7. 79 getting promoted for the very first time to the top flight playing attacking football. 10,000 at St James Park. Your...
Jesus, are you deliberately missing the point. The club was in the ascendency in terms of what was happening off the pitch. Is that so hard to see? Yes, we had a relegation battle and fair play to him, we avoided that. He then had money to spend that no other Albion manager had ever had.
I didn't like Poyet, never did. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate what he did initially. The football we played was intelligent but it was fast free flowing football. Watching El Abd and Greer passing the ball between them is possession football, it is not entertaining. It is though, very...
Are you deliberately missing the point. We had a new stadium on the horizon, a new Chairman who was now backing the team with a larger wallet, everything being geared up to be a bigger club.
