Matches his taste in guitars

Mind, walking him would be a bloody good way of making sure people keep their 2 metres

Isn’t that what Chez used to be into before he started making the big bucks?

There’s nothing in Bruce’s record to suggest he’s ever been a decent manager over a sustained period, and he’s got worse as his career’s progressed. I see him as the David Brent of football management - having a bit of craic with the lads, trying to impress them with tales of his Man Utd days, while they doss about and take the piss out of him behind his back. I doubt he does much more than watching training and picking the team tbh. The quality of the squad is no excuse for the slack/amateurish football, disorganisation, tactical ineptitude and demotivated/demoralised players. Like others have said, he’s stealing a living and I don’t see that changing, and he should rightly be slaughtered for the job he’s doing. However most of us predicted this when he was appointed because it was totally fucking obvious that he was a washed up incompetent old fraud. His mates in the media can gaslight the viewers all they like but he’s a garbage manager appointed by a garbage owner.

The simple fact is most footballers are thick as shit and so it follows that most football pundits are too. In every other sport that I've ever watched the pundits/comentators make insightful comments about what is happening in the match/event but with football all you get is the same tired old cliches time and time again. I find it harder and harder to watch a match with the commentary on and can hardly ever bare to watch the pre and post match bollocks. It was like this before Bruce but when these morons are telling us that what we are actually seeing with our own eyes week after week is wrong and that he's a good bloke working in difficult circumstances, it just becomes so patronising that it's impossible to take seriously.

My arse has been an arse for a long time, doesn't mean I have to listen to it when it speaks.

My mother has smoked for over 60 years. She’s got a vast experience of different brands of cigarette, can blow smoke rings, and hasn’t died yet.

I would imagine he’s crippled by indecision because his one and only concern is keeping his job by keeping his boss happy. Being a clueless ‘yes’ man rather than someone driven by ambition and a desire to take the club forward means he hides away and hopes he doesn’t have to be proactive

Still though, something to tell the grandkids.

Ebony and irony...... 🎶

Neville clearly watches us so little that he’s not even aware we still have Ritchie in the squad ffs. They just keep re-routing the discussion back to Benitez, I don’t care about Benitez ffs he has no impact on my opinion of Steve Bruce. Bruce is a fucking shite manager, I don’t need to compare him to any of our recent managers to make that argument, we play dire football, we barely get in the opposition area let alone have a shot, and we look all over the map defensively. Even if Benitez was the worst manager we’ve ever had that still doesn’t change the fact Bruce is absolutely bobbins and shouldn’t be managing at the premier league level. Our squad isn’t great, but this new angle where it’s suddenly become the worst squad in the league is pathetic, just 18 month ago tits like Neville were fawning over Fraser and Wilson, Almiron has pace to spare and despite lacking end product can be useful with an actual plan / system, our central defenders are the best group we’ve had in fucking donkeys years (we have had better individuals but never 4 or so that are all at this level), goalkeepers are very good, we’re very weak in CM and the full back positions but most teams in the bottom half mix have weaknesses in positional areas too. Again I’m not saying we have some array of talent, but Bruce isn’t getting close to enough out of what he has, saying if you give him loads of money he’ll do better doesn’t wash as an excuse in a fucking job where the owner is Mike Ashley, this broken nosed cunt knew exactly what he was signing up for and many of these same pundits were acting like Ashley was more than generous with previous managers, Bruce has outspent many of them so which way is it? If we can’t feel aggrieved at watching Bruce’s version of football can we finally be pissed off at having Mike Ashley as owner?

I think each patient reqyire 2 support staff plus an ambulance. It's clear that the Nightingale hospitals were a basically just an expensive PR exercise, plus I'd be interested to know if the owner of the Excel centre is a tory donor. The problem for a lot of trusts isn't so much covid capacity but the impact this is having on everything else, including urgent surgery. The whole thing is a practical and ethical nightmare. Its evident the NHS is already overrun in places, despite government denials.

Bonkers that pundits are searching away from the pitch for a reason why we don't like Bruce. It's not because he once managed Sunderland, it's not because he's not Benítez, it's not because he allegedly favours defensive football, it's not because I expect CL football. It's purely because he was shit before, is shit now and will be shit forever. Honestly I reckon, if Lee Cattermole had us 7th in the league, semis of the cups and playing good football I'd be walking in a Clattermole Wonderland.

So heard the wife who is a teacher doing a live lesson and speaking to someone called "Ebony". Is it wrong I find it funny that Ebony is a blonde haired blue eyed wee Chav from Hamilton?

I wonder just what is going through Lee Charnley's head at the moment. We're bottom of the form league, one goal from open play in eight matches and looking completely inept. I can't think of a single reason to keep Bruce, not one.

I feel sorry for your missus if 50% of your cock is the tip 😂

Thesaurus Coke Party

Oooooo football exciting

i know mate, i think my post probably just highlights why every fucker at work hates me!

being mates with bruce doesn't make it any better as far as i'm concerned alex. i've no doubt bruce is mates with neville, savage etc too, just puts shearer on a par with the other twats. i've worked in engineering all me life,. i've known blokes for decades who've stolen a living doing the same job as me, it's never stopped me telling them they'd be hard pressed to know the difference between the open and the ring end of a spanner. if they were shit at their job and it was adversely affecting something which i deeply cared for rather than an employer i didn't really give a shit about i'd be even more inclined to tell them.

Just reminded me I got a row for muttering "fucking thick cunt, hes a lefty" early in the first half when he had wee dig at Almiron for cutting inside and playing off his stronger foot instead of "fancying himself to get the better of Tierney and get to the byline".

Neville, Carragher and co would go spare if it was their team being managed by Bruce playing this brand of football.

They'll open up too soon again, nailed on

See you at the Gabba

Paines had a lot of credit since becoming test captain but as a player I can't see much in him at all. And his captaincy has had a few knocks this series so they may well look to move him on. Not sure who else would replace him as keeper, Wade does well in state and franchise cricket but always looks a weak link when he's played for Australia. We should certainly take confidence for the Ashes in seeing an severly under strength India beat them. Our upcoming games against India are another matter.

Sacrificing plenty of Londoners too by letting the little plague rats mingle again though. In an unprecedented move for this government, it's the worst of both worlds.

Hasn’t he got the worst win ratio of top flight managers with more than 200 games (or something like that)? Some achievement to keep conning people into employing him tbf

Yeah I mean he probably does deserve to keep his place given the lack of alternatives and his undoubted work rate and ability to carry the ball, which is why I said he could move to 10 with Fraser and ASM out on the wings. But again it's going to take a new manager to motivate them, because if Bruce hasn't already lost the dressing room he's very close to it.

Rafa’s job with some of this lot on a game-to-game basis is looking better every day tbh

That's the time to go attacking like, Arsenal away.

Schildkrötenfeigheit

The gloves are off

He thinks tonight is the Sheffield game

So, we have a German poster positively radiating schadenfreude on us, quoting a tweet from a polish wagon driver who refers to our wonderful country as, and I quote, the "United Whoredom". This, gentlemen, is why we we were right to leave this vile corrupt organisation. Don't they remember who won the war?

I wish I could post images.

Words of import from footballs answer to Sun Tzu.

Based on what? I’m not being snarky here, I’d love to see the Fatman gone, but I’ve not heard anything re. takeover lately so I’d love to get pointlessly optimistic again

I blame those who definitely voted for Corbyn once.

I blame Corbyn.

His entire managerial career summed up, the fucking bacon addicted cabbage.

Passing the ball to each other rather than the opposition would be a bit of a change.

Nailed on he voted leave tbh

Steve 'Tactics' Bruce:

The bloke’s a fucking disgrace, without any real fan pressure he’s basically turned on the players. I’m sure we’ll see a big response from them after having that old piss head ramble about them. Fully expect to see a comfortable 3-0 to Arsenal on Monday night, with our lot barely stepping into the Arsenal half.

Well it's one way to get frozen grapes.
