OMG!!! Sun exclusive!!!

[geniarse]

oh god just because the Sun put in a joke quote like they do in every article doesn't mean that none of it is true

Ergo, if they've embellished the quote it's no longer strictly factual then...

It will be true they have an email, but from Gus? Or an email from a prankster that put Poyet's name on it?

Yes, that 'anonymous quote' made up by the writer is not strictly factual

Only if someone hacked his email.

Where is 'anonymous' mentioned in the article?

 

[Captain Sensible]

Only if someone hacked his email.

Maybe, probably just a made up account. I've no doubt this email looks like its from within the club but come on, it not written by Poyet. Why would he write that? It's not his job? Does he deal with cleaning issues and clappers now too? Just a Prank.

 

[Silent Bob]

Where is 'anonymous' mentioned in the article?

I don't think 'One member of staff' is someone's name

 

[Captain Sensible]

Anyone within the club with any kind of association with Palace is a suspect for this hoax.

 

[SeagullSarge]

Pretty sure the club are going to have to come forward and either substantiate or deny these claims now it has hit the press. Although there are now claims flying around Twitter that players from Palace are denying #poogate took place..

I would imagine that CP would have sent in a team to set up in the changing rooms prior to the players arriving so any "presents" left lying around would have been cleared up in good time. Would explain why CP players know nothing about the Brighton "brick"

 

[5mins-from-amex]

Yep, all part of the Albion rollercoaster.The sun are about to follow up with "Tony Bloom, is he ACTUALLY a lizard" "Brighton 1st team, 80% bummers?" and " new Brighton training ground in alien launch pad shocker"

Yes but did freddie starr really eat a hamster? lol

 

[pastafarian]

The worst thing about this is The Sun, a rag with a huge readership of pitiful combined intelligence, can basically print it's own truth. Whilst apparently snippets of fact are within it - clappers are bollocks, someone did take a dump in the palace changing rooms etc - it's mostly the stuff of whimsy. I doubt very much that's a real email from Gus. I doubt the journo actually got their hands on a copy, rather than making up something that would fit their story. I doubt the 'source' from the marketing department said anything at all, let alone a direct quote. I doubt this 'email' (even if we assume for a moment it is true) is the reason Gus is suspended.

BUT, your standard gurning moron who actually buys The Sun doesn't exactly care whether the story is fiction or not. It's just funny because it's about poo.

"Haha, poo."
"Haha. Let's have a look at the tits on page 3 now Dave."

All the people saying "poogate" is made up, what will your opinions be if it turns out to be true? No-one knows either way if it is true, so why are people certain it isn't true??
If this does turn out to be true(I hope it isn't), I would like to think people would forget team rivalry, and condemn the perpetrator. It's a truly vile thing to do.

The article specifically says this is not why he's suspended.

Grow up.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Grow up.

Why grow up? It's a valid question, people are denying it like it's 100% not happened, when in reality they don't know anything.

to be fair to everyone and considering its a story in The Sun the default status of the reader must always be "load of made up bollocks"

 

[Kosmonaut]

It's actually 100% true I'm afraid, I know someone who works at the amex and he got that exact email.

 

[Kosmonaut]

Or an email from a prankster that put Poyet's name on it?

If it is a prank, it is extremely elaborate: the prankster would have got access to every single email of all the staff working for the Albion. Furthermore, if it really was a prank wouldn't Gus or someone else quickly have emailed everyone back to inform them that the email is not genuine (which he hasn't done)?

I think there may be a version of this song next season.
