I mean according to Bob Moncur Bruce had them doing something called ‘running’ in preseason so you can’t say that the man isn’t up to date with all the latest fitness techniques.

Resting 'injured' players is the act of a coward

Rediculous.

He's just come back from a long term injury you thick cunt

it all defies any kind of logic or reason. there's absolutely fuck all to suggest from his previous clubs that an outlay of a fraction of £40m (i know) was warranted. no compettition for his signature. who the fuck scouted him? was it nickson? has he been sacked? seriously, what would be his sell on value as it stands? we would've been infinitely better off going for lewis grabban, and i'm not even slightly taking the piss.

Essembee isn't noted for his open-minded approach to discussion and can be obsessive (in a borderline psychotic way) about certain points. I think the rest of us get the point you're making.

You still going to the match?! It's no wonder you're always in a huff.

I don’t care enough to answer that

Or correct but ambivalent.

Do the preceding 11/12 years of Ashley’s tenure not bother you too much? I can assess results in isolation, that’s simple. The bigger picture is we’re no longer a sporting institution as such, we’re the marketing arm of sports direct.com. That’s why increasing numbers can take some solace from the drivel we’re served up. We don’t really exist as a club anymore. Rafa kept this point at bay for three seasons but it was always going to happen from the moment he left.

Keeping in mind our fixtures in January the gap between us and the relegation places will be a lot smaller. I wonder if they will still compare this season’s points tally to last year’s when it isn’t favourable to Bruce anymore.

Impressive display of non-cowardice from Schär there. He'll be out for longer because of it but at least he's not a coward, unlike our other cowardly players who are cowards.

I'm guessing that's a euphemism, but I dread to think what for.

He was right about Hughie Gallacher though.

Since it’s 2020 soon, I thought I’d treat you all to some Optician jokes- they’re like normal jokes, but cornea.

i'm sure somewhere deep in the bowels of the world wide web there's some glowing danish scouting reports on frank pingel. and rightly so, he had the enviable goal ratio of 1 in 14

You’re a weapons-grade fuckwit. Quit while you’re behind for once

It’s easy to say he doesn’t have an end product but he doesn’t even have a beginning product.

Absolutely. People have a go at him for just seeing put his contract but he’s a very ordinary player that was signed not with an eye to what he added to the team but because of his age and his being out of contract, ie it’s exactly what the owner deserves for his ‘rediculous’ transfer policy

Of course if was a bloody mistake, the question is why would a very good player make what isn't even a school boy error because they know better. So no it wasn't a simple mistake, it was literally one of the worst things you can do in your own half. And if you don't get why a player wouldn't be like, hey boss you know how you've incompetently played me too much after a major injury? Well I'm knackered in mind and body and want off even though I'm not actually injured and you have fuck all on the bench to replace me with, then I can't help you. And lastly, kicking the ball across your own box has fuck all to do with cowardice.

I’m not saying it was aliens, but…

Wouldnt pay for Rondon but spunk £40m on that. fuck me.

Rafa would have stuck a kid in before he played an injured player. Fuck this fat cunt.

We didn't have one before he was injured tbf

That attempt at a shot by Joelinton ffs. In fact most of our shots recently have been like that, weak as piss and mis hit, it’s almost like the training methods have declined recently. The amount of injured players also originates from the shite training. Playing Lejuene this often after injury is mental and it’s finally cost us. We’ve just have no real tactic since ASM was injured.

Drop Carroll; play hoofball. Bruce that.

all's not lost yet. joey linton could quite easily get a hattrick.

Happy new year fellow cunts. I made everyone drink long Island iced teas last night hence I for one am still pissed

I’ve read about this before on Wikipedia etc. but interesting nonetheless: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/extra/SoLiOdJyCK/mystery_of_dyatlov_pass

Dubravka Schar Fernandez Lejune Willems Hayden SLongstaff Shelvey Almiron Muto Carroll Pick holes in this line-up, based on all being available Muto is energetic and should get a start, I think he is under-estimated. Nonscoringjoelintonthedud should be benched. I think we should go 4-4-2 against Leicester. We know Schar & Willems can make attacking runs. Will be interesting to see Brucey's starting lineup for this match.

Bowen would be a good signing. The ones being touted out have done nowt in the premier league. Sell them all and buy one player who will make a difference

Anybody not waiting for ages for a Chinese takeaway tonight? Happy New Year lads.

Happy new year for later on. Expect the new year to be roughly the same shit if not worse!
