Well said. Poyet shouldn't be our next manager but he doesn't deserve the vitriol some are giving him on this thread.The 2014 EFL Cup campaign was the best time of my life as a supporter.
All the times I would park up behind the metro station bridge in Edgeworth Crescent and walk to the stadium and get myself some scran and see us beat someone like Plymouth or Southampton. Then we beat Chelsea in the quarter final then Man United in the first leg of the semi final.
I remember waiting in the queue for about 8 hours to get a ticket for the final when they went on sale.
The day itself was epic. The taxi driver was a speeding nutcase. He dropped me off opposite the stadium metro station and I walked the rest of the way. This was at about 6 pm. I got really excited when my coach pulled up and especially when the doors closed and it drove away. Seeing Wembley for the first time made me even more excited. I was about three rows from the top of the South stand but I didn’t care.
It was a brilliant day. We would not have gotten there had we not sacked PDC earlier and appointed Gus. We would likely have been knocked out.
But if we reappointed Gus it would ruin the memories I have of that day. He would not be the same.
