Just showed up as I was checking the news!

Gus Poyet happy to manage Brighton's great expectations | Football | The Guardian

Great photograph of the man himself.

Nothing particularly new in there, but still interesting.

It suggests that the training ground plans are moving on somewhat which is exciting.

I like this:

"So we are not the richest in the division, but we are one of the top six. And that gives us the possibility to be in the top six, that's my job, that's what the chairman wants. I would say that the top 10 wouldn't be too bad but they put pressure on me to say top six. We're in a good position to be there. It's very easy for people from outside Brighton to say: 'They are there because of the money.' They are wrong. And to be honest, it hurts."

Is it sad that I'm proper excited about a new training ground! Having played football and used the gym at the Uni its shocking that the great man has to turn up (and be given second priority to Uni events) there everyday

I liked the way Gus uses 'us' and 'we'.

Robbie Savage column: Arsene Wenger can't criticise Stoke's Ryan Shawcross and Sunderland's Lee Cattermole after Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas' challenge on Wolves Stephen Ward, plus my wife Sarah puts her foot in it again - Robbie Savage - MirrorFootball.co.uk

The comments for Robbie Savage's article on the mirror site are gold

'Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Your stories about your wife's incredible stupidity are utterly hilarious.

She's so thick and dumb and stupid. Thats what makes it so funny.

But on a more serious note if these stories are indeed true - and not just hilarious banter to fill space in a column - then I am a more than a little concerned.

Having two people of such obvious mental retardation sharing a household is a recipe for disaster. I hope you are not too proud to call on the help of social services to help with those little things in life.'

Saint Gus graces the Guardian with his wise words..

"We have a video room now," Poyet says, "but, listen, it's a Portakabin where we take things in and out. Still at least it's a video room where we can watch proper video."

 

[smalldino]

Thats a great read thanks for that

 

[Norman Potting]

Excellent read and nice comments at end. Leaves one with a nice warm feeling inside, aaaah.

It was a JOKE about how people will always find something to moan about.

Priceless, made me chuckle to myself

Good article. Nothing new? Well certainly some stuff that has never graced the Argus anyway!

"You learn a lot .......You learn how to talk about referees so you don't get fined."

 

[jimhigham]

Good to see it being put out in the national media that it's not ALL about the money. That's been a fairly lazy assumption for a lot of people and it's nice to see it debunked.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Was great read and disagree with some early posts, thought some of the quotes and subject matter were very different to the usual repetitive stuff thanks for the link
