I remember us playing Wolves at home in a night games in the dark days under Zola, we lost 1-3, Tomkins was in the very early stages of breaking into the team, a real young lad, and he made a monumental ricket for their opening goal, there was already unrest over there and the crowd were not happy.

Upson was our experienced captain, and it was the absolute moment when he should've put an arm round the lad, or at least a word of encouragement. Instead, he bowed his head down, not a peep out of him towards the lad or the rest of the team to gee them up.

He was a decent player at the start, but a shocking skipper. Flaky as you like.

Upson was brilliant for us first couple of seasons and then turned to shit. I think he just gave up.

Todibo must be fucking gash in training.
He doesn't react quick enough and is unable to read the game, maybe in a 5 we could get away with him playing.

I worry how bad Tobido is if Mavroshambles keeps getting the nod.

Don't be silly, Upson was a different level to the Greek disaster.

I wasn't an Upson fan, but I think he was on another level to this bloke. But then I start worrying if maybe this manager has the same ability as the jock bastard, in making players (even our best ones) look bad. Let's be honest, who is playing well this season? I'm struggling to think of anyone

Upson had 3 very good seasons for us before Avram Grant rocked up.

Mavrapanos cannot go 45min without gifting the opposition a goal.
