1. You got beaten by Tottenham and went down the table..

Yes, now we are tenth....five points behind Leeds. It's too bad because we could have won and gone to third in the table after some other results like Arsenal drawing and Man Utd getting beaten. I've already said it, but we play well one game in too, it's always like that. We have to do something about it.

2) It's your second home defeat in a row.

I know. It's awful to lose in front of your own public. They always turn up, always support us in the best possible way and we lose. It's awful.

3) Tottenham scored two in 20 minutes. How did this happen?

We were playing 3-5-2 for the first time this season and the team had trouble getting used to it, which Tottenham exploited. An avoidable positional error caused the first goal and the second was due to Poyet, who won a header and lobbed the keeper. With this system, I was left back and hardly got any balls to exploit. Neither did Solano.

4) What happened next?

We pushed forward but couldn't put away any chances.

5) What's happening next?

We had a big meeting this morning with the manager, then had a warm down. Tomorrow, we have a day off and come back to training on Wednesday. At the moment, I'm on an exercise bike in the gym. That's why I'm out of breath.

No mention about who gave away the free kick which led to their first goal then??

His refreshingly honest views on the problems yesterday are clearly at odds with his Manager then!

Screach, I thought that: it was an anonymous positional error, wasn't it?

Maybe if he weren't so busy exploiting his balls? ;-))

LOL. And smelling himself well.

Obviously a very heated discussion which requires a warm-down.

Don't forget the classic: "I pleasured myself during the game"

It's strange how every week he compares us to Man Utd and Arsenal. Did Bobby convince him that we are up there with those two or has he discovered that one for himself?

.......no, too much free time between 7:00 and 8:15 on a Saturday evening. He thinkes they are the only other teams in the league.
