Did anyone (seriously) expect a win away to Toulon? Even without the internal upheavals of this week, it was always going to need a Herculean effort to get 4 or 5 points from this game.

In his pre-match interview, Dimes made an off-the-cuff comment about how Manu had stayed injury-free for several games. He really needs to shut up, sometimes.
