Lets not bury your heads in the sand lads. Against Newcastle it was your cup final, you won and wanted it more so fair enough. Now Poyet is playing the same lads who nearly got you relegated, O`Shea, Cattermole, Bardsley, Larsson, Gardner, Cruella, Johnson are championship standard at best. Di Canio wanted to change it but these easy living parasites got him out. Poyet? Same will happen to him. I for one, do not want you relegated as I think the banter between the fans is, more often than not, good craic. The biggest problem with the big squad you have, will be offloading the rubbish who are on stupid wages. Good Luck.

Usual dull patronising mag clap trap but there's a germ of sense here. Surely we have better players than those playing. I can't figure poyet out at the moment as he seems to be pretty switched on tactically and motivationally. I absolutely am not criticising Poyet, I just can't figure out what's going on in his head.

In my opinion, I think you should have never have sacked PDC.

You were playing good football, on another day you would of got 4 points from the arsenal and Fulham games.

He was strict, but he got determination, fitness and passion out of your players, he bought in 14 new players and only had 5 games to prove himself which is ridiculous.

Apparently short sacked him because the players were making "complaints" about him, because he is strict etc. PDC is very much like marmite, you either love him or you hate him, but the way I see it, players like bardsley, Johnson, gardner, cuellar just too lazy, or "not Man enough" if you like. Yes you will get players like them, but you don't sack the manager because of them. I bet you if we were in January/February an you still had PDC, most of your players will be used to him and will see the other side of the coin and will want to play for him.

I like his strictness and coaching style. I think the premier league needs more managers like him who aren't afraid to give players like bardsley a kick up the backside. It's managers like him that can make British players more determined and would be good for academy's, as there's too many youth players that are English that are just so lazy and would rather play Xbox than do extra training.

Just my thoughts anyway

I liked him and his methods to a certain point, fitness yes, but
No tomato sauce, no smiling, no laughing, telling everyone that they are not good enough, ridiculing people in front of the entire squad, you might as well tell them to play naked its that embarrassing

He expected the up most of his players which is good, but he thought he was God
