Wright was awesome in the first half yesterday but lost the plot in the second. I guess he totally forgot that he was blasting Benitez's subs as soon as he brought on Mikel for Lampard and then tried to act like Chelsea fans were morons for not liking the change about 5 minutes later.

Umm, they have ensured we won't have this fat clown in charge of our team next year so actually they have done a lot of good.

Also, how have they been an "embarrassment"? They have done what every other fanbase in the world would do in their situation. A club hero sacked 5 months after winning the CL/FA double and replaced by a guy with a history of disrespect for the club who has since gotten terrible results and made numerous moronic decisions? Of course he is going to get stick. If he wants the fans to stop chanting against him maybe he should stop leaving our best players on the bench in big matches and playing them in meaningless ones.
The thing that annoyed me the most about Gus was how he called attacking moves/goals "good plays".

Also, I can remember of corners that he freaked out about as soon as they were crossed into the box like it was automatically going to be a great scoring opportunity..

Yeah, for a club like Chelsea that gets as much stick than any for bandwagoners and mercenaries I fail to see the "embarrassment" of fans' harassing Rafa. He'd need to arrive to practice with a secret service detail at Roma if he'd had said things like that in the past.

In his defense he did say something later in the match regarding Benitez obviously knowing better than he regarding the subs.

I enjoyed the tandem. They were much different than the usual commentators that can be more dry.
