Kind of felt for Gibbs that day. I remember being pleased for Bertrand

starting early games in his loan here, away from home.

Gibbs started his full debut here, at the expense of Huckerby, and that alone meant from there on, he wasn't ever going to be popular (or even deemed as any good)

I remember wishing he was our player, when his loan ended before the Sheff Weds game (sunday), and he'd played for Arsenal the day before, and travelled up with our squad to spend the final day with us

I'm not saying things said today aren't true, but I don't believe groups of people get that poisoness with each other. If managers come accross as firm, it's quite often because the men they work with are stupid, and quite often react positively to a kick up the arse
