Horrific, for balance here are the stats from the fixture at home to Brighton that we lost last season that Luke and this Ugly Mackem bloke love to hold up as an example of why Bruce is comparable to Rafa:

Almiron looked great playing under Rafa with his pace creating bags of space for Rondon & Perez. Wonder what’s changed? 🤔

in fairness, watford did spend a lot of time kicking off!

There you gan lads, Luke totally ignores the fact that in those losses/draws early on under Rafa the team showed shape and ideas compared to the games so far this season that have showed absolutely no semblance of a plan. We could barely muster up a chance, only scoring a goal that has since been declared an error that VAR should have overruled, against Watford ffs. I get he’s playing devils advocate and sticking up for his mate but he’s making himself look like he knows nothing about football.

Fuck off

Edwards spent a month defending Bruce’s appointment against near universal negativity. Now he says he knew we’d be shit anyway

Rafa agreed.

Too soon?

Honestly not surprised by anything they do anymore. They’re probably one of the scummiest fan bases going, RTG is fucking vile (the mods often go and delete most of the bad threads after they’ve ran their course, see threads supporting Adam Johnson, saying horrific things about Jimmy Hill etc etc).

VAR can pull back an offside about 30 seconds before a goal was scored but it can’t notice Mark Noble making about 4 red card tackles? I like how the tool created to eradicate inconsistency has somehow made it worse.

Rest in Deep

Harsh that mind. I saw him do a great slapstick routine in a pub before we played Fulham a couple of years back where he gave himself concussion by smacking his head off a door frame. Didn’t know it was him till later in the week when I came I’m here and said “should’ve seen this dopey fucker nearly knocking himself out before the game at the weekend “

Yes but I much prefer his stand up. He’s got a couple of specials on Netflix. One recent one, one from back in the day - I think they’re both brilliant but why not try before you buy?

Even the earth’s core isn’t that irony

Joelinton's transfer stinks more an more each week. Lad tries but if he's worth 40m then the game is a lot more fucked than I thought. Wilhems is fucking shit as well.

Video doing the rounds on twitter of some young mackems on a coach singing a really vile song about Gary Speed which I'll not bother putting up here. 'Classy' club though.

I had a ticket and went yesterday. The first half was as bad as I can remember. Took this on the sky sports app before heading off to the bar. Brighton, at home, ffs.

We had less possession at home to Brighton yesterday than Watford did against City.
