I wasn’t trying to make the case we’d had a terrible season or anything. The point I was making, which was crystal clear I think, was that we aren’t far off the bottom three in terms of points whilst at the same time it feels like we’ve been riding our luck a fair bit (points gained relative to performances).

He runs the club like a business though

Where do you apply for a job like that?

Should do a chart for the Bruce defenders where one axis is football knowledge and the other is desire to just attract attention

I think you’ll find the league positions are based on how a team and its peers are performing in any current rather than any previous seasons.

Or racism, or petty-minded jingoistic delusion

if he was a Newcastle fan he wouldn’t be Bruce fan

I wasn’t disagreeing with you, it was more me saying that it feels like we have been a bit fortunate yet we’re still not far off the bottom 3.

If we’re riding our luck as much as it feels like we are and we’re only 5 points off relegation then....

Relegation’s in the post again anyway. Even if it isn’t this season.

4th bottom if I had to have a bet on it

I suppose it’s just a coincidence Bruce had similar injury problems at several other clubs he’s managed,

Hard to judge precisely how bad a signing he’s been given there’s no way Ashley didn’t get some of that fee back

That makes your stance on fan apathy a bit odd when that’s been our approach under this owner for ages

Could say the same for Shelvey tbf. Does very little. Scored a few goals in fairness, but I doubt that’s sustainable. Games just pass him by far too often.

If you’re going to make a lot more saves than your average PL keeper it stands to reason you’ll be prone to make the odd error

Rafa’s fault

Good to see Phil is still thick as pig’s shit. I know we had a few players missing and it was a good point gained but another way of looking at it we rode our luck and Dubravka kept us in the game yet again.

That accent is class like

I like how they’ve just put in a stock photo of a sandwich, in case anyone didn’t know what one looked like.

I thought it was fucking hilarious when I read it was just 5-a-side but it would appear it’s more or less the same group of lads (if selected / not suspended) playing each other every week. Nailed on the captains are fucking gash as well 😂

That certainly appears to the case for all these royal fanatics. Although, given that lot and paedos are pretty much analogous, that shouldn’t come as any shock

Jenna Jameson, there’s a blast from the past 😂

Well they’re getting precisely what many of them deserve. Also I see the new Metro trains aren’t going to be built by Hitachi (Newton Aycliffe, Sedgefield constituency which of course voted Tory). Instead they’re going to be built in (where else?) Spain.

Although it probably tasted better than one of his
