Gus has made a good start to his time at Bradford. A brilliant last-minute saving tackle from him sealed our first win of the season at Ipswich this week. 
But what did you think of him when he was a Blade? And why was he sent out on loan to Walsall last season when he was holding down a place in your first team at the time?
Give me an interesting answer to these questions and you may win the great honour of being quoted in the Bradford fanzine 'The City Gent', as I'm currently working on an article about our recent signings. If you can help, it will be much appreciated!

Update: Gus' good start continues. He scored yesterday in our 4-2 win over Rotherham!

Gus made a bright start to his United career. But after a while his disciplinary record rather caught up with him (2 reds and a shed load of yellows) and he started to get some nagging injuries. Warnock signed Robert Page as another defender and Gus never really got his place back in the team. That's all there is to it really.
I am pleased that Gus is finding his feet again with you. He was a popular player with the fans at Bramall Lane and we were sad to see him go.

Where did you but Gus from. I remember him playing for Fulham, but didn't United buy him from Le Harvre?

He might have spent some time with Le Harve, but he never played for them as far as I know. He was in the Fulham squad for a couple of years before coming to us on a free transfer, he'd been a bit of a spare part with the Londoners.

Do you think I could get h2g2 to adopt this Smiley?

But hey, is everyone associated with Bradford so poor that they can't afford a camera?

Cameras? We can't afford a team! 
I've predicted 3-1 to the Blades on Saturday in the Fantasy Football League. I foresee Dean Windass scoring following a fine pass from Stuart McCall.

Oh I hadn't seen this weeks football predictions. Not that entering will have much impact on my dismal performance this season.

There's seven games this week, to make up for the two cancelled matches last week. So it's a good chance to catch up!

I've just posted some set of results. So you can be guaranteed of a win on Saturday
