[Football] Poyet new Bordeaux manager

[Kosh]

He did well but you have to admit he turned into a proper knob towards the end.

Oh he did, the constant "They're (insert bigger club here) a great club, a big club etc." monologues became increasingly hard to stomach... but prior to becoming entrenched in his oft verbose 'other club' statements, well he was a top, top Albion manger. One of the best.

 

[BensGrandad]

Who cares

Me as I like to keep up with the where abouts etc of our old players and managers.

 

[luppers]

Do you mean taking 20 minutes and about 60 passes to get the ball onto the half way line?

At least he got over the bloody halfway line!

Tony's take on it all was interesting listening. Poyet could of had it all here I wonder if he regrets it.

 

[BensGrandad]

i have nothing whatsoever against CH and his achievements with us but often wonder what if we had beaten Palace in the play offs.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

He never did get the massive Leeds job.

I reckon he's a bit too arrogant to consider the wrongs he may have committed... BUT, sometimes late a night, sitting on his veranda, whilst the Mediterranean breeze gently caresses his hair and he sips a nice red... Perhaps he asks himself; what if? what if I hadn't been such a massive tit?

Yep - I think he could have been an utter legend if he'd been ever so slightly more restrained, but that's not him and his football betrays, rather poetically, all you need to know about Gustavo Poyet.

Stubborn beauty.

We'd have had a playoff final v Watford at Wembley.

I think that we would have beaten them and was more thinking of how we would have done in The Premier under him with players that he had brought in rather than a squad left him as per Sunderland.

Agreed. Watford froze on the big stage against Palace. To be fair, their dramatic semi final win against Leicester made the final almost an unwelcome extention to their season in a strange way.

Is Charlie with Gus as their club website hasnt been been updated to include Gus and wiki shows CO as being in China.

I saw Charlie in a well known supermarket the other day - he said he was waiting for the call from France!

 

[rocker959]

He could have had it all here , silly boy .

That's was a brilliant game... 2-0 up in about 5 mins, Murray and Forster causing loads of problems... Dicker (Crofts, ahem, edit) with the third. Sublime, given our respective form prior to then.

I, personally, wish him well. The best football I've witnessed (at times), and some brilliant results under his leadership.

I suspect he sees this as a big opportunity to get back on the map, I doubt he'll blow this one so readily.

One of those games that was so memorable that I can remember exact and vivid details of where I was and what I was doing (in the Hare and Hounds back when it was spit & sawdust, drinking cheap Fosters on that raised bit at the back with a massive pull down screen showing the match and about 2 other people in there apart from me and the lady who was to become Mrs MBH very soon after we first got together)

Thats what I was hoping to hear.

I know... it was a real turn corner, dear diary moment. Nice work too, re meeting your other half! What a night to remember.

The only thing - Fosters?!? I guess it was that or Carling Black Label, huh?!?
