    He was taking about players turning up when they felt like it for training etc.

    The ketchup thing was concerning match days & eves and bringing mobile phones to work.

    Aren't workplaces entitled to have these restrictions?

    Did not turn up today, at Bradford, against Hull, against QPR. Truly dreadful now

    These are the core players we need to get rid of. I thought last year it might take a relegation to sort it but then I would've stuck with Gus.

    Now I'm torn: sack Gus, watch the ****s run their nuts off for a new boss for a couple of wins and stay up. New contracts for them all, repeat for the next ten years.

    OR stick with him, chop the big time players and build the style in the championship with young players for two or three years.

    I fear whatever Gus was trying to build from bottom to top was the right idea but looks doomed. I don't blame him and I don't dislike him. If he stays we are down but could he resurrect us away from the pressure of results in the prem?

    I just read it, and it does come from PDC . Like i said loon but i loved him.

    and aye smug many places would give you the chop if you wipped out your phone whilst on the clock. In that article he goes on about using it while getting a massage. How ****ing rude is that? I hate it when people talk on the phone when checking out at the shops! that's another rant tho

    the only way he can get respect now is if he walks, this game was the key to it all, we didn't have to win, just not get beat because the bottom three all had tough games and another point for us would have been massive. So that said, how the hell can you be 4 down by half time. Guys like pulis and allardyce would have got a 0-0 out of this in the same circs.......................................it wouldn't have been pretty mind.

    Any manager who is signed Bridcutt and plays him is clearly suspect. It's like playing with 10 men when he starts. He has 2 decent games a season.

    Why do we not buy players with PACE

    He never said he was banning mobiles, ketchup, coke etc ......... just that there were restrictions & an education process.

    Should the players be allowed to be unit, overweight, bring phones on the training pitch?

    These are the reasons the players believe it's just a retirement club where they pop in now and again to collect their wages.

    We also need to stop bringing in players from Italy. They are not suited to the prem!

    Both O'Neil and Di Canio looked like taking us down and we sacked and rightly so now Poyet is following in that trend. Yes most of the players are ****e, piss heads and don't look like they care but the players that have been brought in to replace them have been no better and unable to keep them out of the team and that is why we are stuck with them

    Scrap the lot and start again. Too many tries at fixing/repairing have failed.

    If it means leaving the prem for a season to come back stronger, so be it.

    This cannot go on.

    I firmly believe that PDC would have kept us up, and the players brought in since have been brought as they have been the best available for our very limited budget. The core still remains tho and its by all accounts rotten. They have made 3 (debatable) decent footballing minds look daft.

    Di Canio had the balls to confront the players, Poyet doesn't.

    When Seb Larsson came back on, after half time, he completely ignored the manager.

    Whether that's the manager or the player, who has a problem, it's the manager to blame.

    Sadly, I have to agree. provided we can tear up players contracts as a result of getting relegated. the players sickened me today. as much as Gus gets it wrong, the players are worse. they were so ****ing useless, it's disgusting and insulting.
