Gus: We are the better team

Aseros · May 6, 2013

So true, so true.

It is odd that Crystal Palace fans believe that they have the best team in the Championship by far 0_o

Not really. Gus is saying that because we finished above palace, we are the better team. If positions were reversed he'd say palace were better.

He talks about like this about the table and which teams are better every year.

That is NOT what he said!

ALBION boss Gus Poyet has delivered a play-off warning to arch-rivals Crystal Palace by declaring “we are a better team.”

"A" better team is totally different from "THE" better team!

We just don't concede. Deal with that Palace.

Does it really matter? When you are talking about two teams, they mean exactly the same thing.

That's not a proper team talk, there is no mention of tweaking noses and sticking ice cubes in places.

Seasider78 · May 6, 2013

Only an idiot would suggest that we are not currently the better team and are rightfully favourites going into this tie. it would be no different if the roles were reversed but football can be cruel and got a feeling there will be a few twists and turns yet.

Should not really need a team talk, surely, although I hope Wurzel gives his usual one that has been working so well recently.

Exactly.

Plus, Holloway said this: http://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/10400853.Palace_boss__We_re_stronger_now/ on Saturday night so it is clear both managers are just trying to drum-up confidence ahead of the tie.

Albion & Enagland forever.

We are a better team. The league table proves that. However, anything can happen in the play-offs so it doesn't necessarily mean we'll get through to the final.

Hyperion · May 6, 2013

A & The is different however, it's not always hard here to nail down the exact meaning of his grammar, he is from Uruguay so it could mean either quite frankly.

Kalimantan Gull · May 6, 2013

One of these managers runs the real risk of driving his players into a bunch of nervous wrecks. It could easily happen to both of them.

I know which manager I prefer. Gus, or some idiotic pub bore, who tries to appear funny by trotting out lines from old comedies as motivation.
Tweaking the nose of fear and ice cubes is it worzel? you better hope you don't lose Friday or you'll be in a more stickier situation than when sticky the stick insect got stuck on a sticky bun EH?

What ? Saying he thinks we are the better team ? If that is the speech that is going to fire up your players for you I can't even begin to think what Holloway delivers before the matches. What a plonker you are.

He isn't talking about 2 teams though - just the Albion. We're a better team than last year, and a better team when everyone's fit.

BUTTERBALL · May 6, 2013

We need to go in with a winning mentality. We are the better team.

Thunder Bolt · May 6, 2013

“When we are all fit we are a better team, because of the table. Three months ago I thought we didn't have any chance to finish above them. Now we are. I think we are better than last year.

“At least we have beaten them once! Last year we didn't and we have finished again above them, so for the fans I think it's great. Now the problem is we have got another two games against them.

“Let's hope it's football, there are no accidents, bad decisions from referees. I hope everything is going to be normal.

He's right but it isn't going to be normal, (whatever that is). It's the playoffs and there's always drama in the playoffs.

pishhead · May 6, 2013

We finished above them over 46 games so technically we're the better side. I think that's the point he's making.

Thanks for that !
Of course you are the better team, the league table doesn't lie.
But don't you think , just maybe, that the Palace team might just be thinking they have to prove him wrong ?
I know what the reaction on here would be if Holloway came out and said it.

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
