Poyet on MOTD

[HawkTheSeagull]

He can give his expert insight into how to break down a shoddily put together Crystal Palace side.

Or rather give excuses as to why you lost to one and say that that club "keeps hitting the roof". I imagine the BBC will go on about how we "sacked him on live TV" for a couple of weeks, but it should make a change as Gus knows what hes talking about....usually.

 

[fat old seagull]

Gus has been added to the pool of pundits on MOTD this year. More chances for him to act like a victim!

Oh Christ.... "The importance of being Gus" !

 

[kevtherev]

Think he will do quite well on that. He talks a good game.

 

[spanishdave]

Gus was great for us. id love him to get a manager job in the prem playing palarse again or the champ playing us.

 

[Worthai Seagull]

I would be interested to see what Gus would say if we piss the league this season ?

Which we won't

 

[Worthai Seagull]

Looking forward to Vialli and Gus. Is Fowler any good as a pundit?

Eh Eh..calm down calm down !

 

[fork me]

Good.

I love Gus. He's an entertainer, and was one of the best managers I have ever seen at the Albion. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL football.

As far as being a pundit is concerned, he will tell it how it is, that's what he does. Should be top entertainment.

This.

I liked Gus as a manager and I liked him as an entertainer and as a speaker. It all went tits up at the end but let's not forget what he did for us while he was here.

It's time to move on, for me he's a past manager that did well for us. I am very pleased with the signing of Oscar as his replacement but that doesn't mean I'm going to siddeny start disliking Gus. I hope he is successful as a pundit, given the sort of interviews he did when he was with us, and the way he could hold a crowd ("We are fcking brilliant") he should do well on the telly.

Going to be on the first goals on sunday this season, too. On sky sports.

 

[APACHE]

MOTD, that's the program I've always recorded for the last 20 odd years so I can fast-forward when those bloody boring so- called experts come on to tell me how the game was after I've just watched it. Change the panel as much as you like, they will still state the bleedy olbivous.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Should be interesting, what with Palace being on MOTD.

How long will he get away with saying "ees sheet" when talking about the Palace defence before the BBC realise what he means.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Why would anybody expect Poyet to have feelings one way or the other about Palace?

He has no lifelong Albion connection, it was always just a job to him, and beating Palace meant no more or less than beating any other team.

Screwing up against them in the play offs won't make a blind bit of difference. When Holloway is binned (December?) Gus will offer his services, I'd be amazed if he didn't.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

could be tricky?

the next time saurez decides to start eating someone

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Good luck to him with this, but I don't think he comes over that well as a pundit. He was a pundit on a Chelsea game last season and all he said was it’s about making the right decisions and not making the wrong decision, and that it’s all about decision making. He may do well but he looked out of his depth to me.

This is a half time team talk and I haven’t got a clue what he is trying to say to the players or what the second half instructions are?

The players obviously understood him because that is at Jerez. We won that game 6-0.

I'm looking forward to seeing him on the tv. He is knowleagable and entertaining.

 

[Questions]

I will be in bed by the time they will be on.

Surely you'll stay awake for the first game ? The 6 and 7 nil thrashings are often on first.

Completely disagree. He will always loathe them. He is a man of passion. This 'no loyalty in football' is a bollox saying and isn't true. Many aren't loyal, but some do feel a connection and have some loyalty. I'm not saying Gus necessarily feels something for the Albion still after the messy divorce. But I'm pretty sure he'll still dispise palace and won't consider managing them ever...

Are they going to get rid of Lawro?

This - I was sorry to see him go, especially the manner of his going.

Michael Owen is a great addition to the MOTD team for this season's EPL coverage.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Oh great. We're still contributing to his wages.

Absolutely. The show was crying out for a canny, amusing and insightful personality.
