Villa 2-0 NUFC Over to the studio for their thoughts on NUFC and Steve Bruce......

A Villa fan on the BBC live reporting just wrote that Bruce said when he was Villa manager, who could they get to replace me 😂 You can't say he isn't consistent with the shite he spouts. The Villa fan of course retorted with Dean Smith, who currently has them in 8th with two games in hand on most teams. Redknapp and Bent making excuses for Bruce once again saying that nobody could do better with the same squad, which sort of ignores the fact that Rafa comfortably kept us up with a worse squad. In fairness there's plenty of matches left, but you'd have to be very optimistic to think that Bruce will turn this around. The fact is that Bruce is making our squad look a lot worse than it is. Redknapp said that we don't really have any players who would go for big money, but again, and I don't like continually having to bring up Rafa, but he had Sean Longstaff playing so well that Manure were looking to spunk at least 30 mil on him. Since Bruce has been at the club Longstaff's valuation has likely gone down about 15m, and that's being generous.

toon toon

I’m lancing a boil on my arse and live-streaming it on Dave player if anyone fancies?

"That is always the difficult part of the Premier League and we understand that, we have found it difficult to score a goal"

Fuck Off.

I don’t think it would bother me half as much if the same bunch of cunts hadn’t been telling us Ashley was mint, and questioning why we’d want Saudi involvement a few months ago . We fucking know Ashley is the problem, Bruce took the job with eyes wide open as Benitez was constantly saying we need investment in the facilities and academy, and that we needed to spend more on players, if Ashley wasn’t going to give in to a manager of Benitez’s calibre Bruce would have known he was getting nowt. The thing is even under Ashley Bruce isn’t good enough, we are heading for relegation if this keeps up as we are honestly looking worse by the game.

So, what you’re saying here is that Bruce is doing a great job, and it’s not his fault. 😉

One goal from open play in nine matches. It’s fucking diabolical.

This reminds me of Billy Connolly’s gag about how, for years, he used to think that Partick were called Partick Thistle Nil.

essembee'd your post

"I want a feast... I want a bacon feast!"

less self respect than pardew. the cholesterol soaked fucking halfwit.

Ashley hasn’t shown a fuckin scintilla of respect to the club in 13 bastard years, but Bruce demands it from all quarters because...well, he’s big on respect isn’t he? Ask Sheffield Wednesday, Palace etc etc..

So the pundits’ verdict (Redknapp and Darren Bent) is that he doesn’t have the players, doesn’t have the academy, there was no plan or tactics, the players weren’t playing, nothing will change until there’s a takeover but Bruce is in no way at fault. Fuck off.

What can fans of a team who have been outside them PL for just two seasons since the early 90’s expect though?

It's a famous line that reminds me of Bruce. Young man, listen to my 20 years of experience, to which the young man replied. You have one year of experience repeated 20 times.

Brucey Bingo Card for tonight/rest of his time here; ”We just have to dust ourselves down” ” We need to roll our sleeves up” ” You don’t need to tell me that wasn’t good enough…” ” We just need that bit of luck” ” Pickled Onion Monster Munch please” ” I’ve been in the game long enough to know…”

I'm telling you, embrace the Lithuanian Eurovision show instead. It's the way forward.

Marvellous stuff, a great opening track to one of my favourite albums. I think I’ll skip the second half and listen to Dubnobasswithmyheadman instead.

Waiter! Bill please!

House!

At least there will probably be a few goals. I was watching Liverpool Burnley the other day and about half an hour in remembered there was football on. Got up to find the remote before realising I was already watching it.

He's perhaps not the sharpest tool in the shed old Quinny, but he's generally right about what should happen with the club. The more reasonable voices from people within the game the better.

There's a Lithuanian Eurovision semi-final on that I'm just going to have to watch instead. Shame.

For most managers that would mean they don’t want the job but as a fully paid up member of the British Managers’ Lunch Club he’ll be happy to do a year here and get paid off for the other two.

He is pissed there isn’t he? Like those times where you’ve hammered the free booze and you’re introduced to your new boss, You don’t give a shite what absolute bollocks your talking just as long as you say it in a non pissed sounding voice and maintain a cool, serious face. What a crunt

Another brilliant take from a twat who is regularly linked to the job. Basically we expect way too much for a club that’s won fuck all, not sure where any of the fans have said they expect to be winning things - I wouldn’t say hoping to win cup games against Championship competition and have a bit of a cup run is too much expectation, neither is wanting to play somewhat competent football. If the Saudis do eventually own us all these fuckers are going to be fuming as they’ll have to come up with a new narrative.

I reckon we will (do worse)

could have done with a cherry tomato

“Some of it is unbelievable (Press coverage) and maybe people need to change and give the club a little bit of respect rather than always being negative.” What a fucking whopper Bruce is.

The ungrateful cunts don’t deserve him.

I blame Gloom, bloody MSM shill that he is.

I can’t bring myself to watch it. However, if it’s full of irredeemable cunts then they at least got that bit right.

Why do the BBC show protests in other countries but don't always bother in this country when crowds are sometimes as big? (Not picking on this case in particular).

I’m sick of having this arsehole as a manager. If the absolutely dreadful football isn’t bad enough, we have to also put up with the absolute bollocks he spouts when he tries to defend himself. Just constant defeatism, blaming anyone but himself, and general negativity. Twat.

Looked on the Dave player but couldn't find "or industry" anywhere

Nobody expected him to be as good as Benitez. It’s only the likes of Edwards who’ve had it used against them because they brought it up originally when it looked like Bruce was going to get more points, only for them to lose their blob when that blew up in their face. I agree to an extent that it’s a daft question because it’s difficult to answer it honestly without criticism of the owner but Bruce talked about building and improving on what Rafa so he set himself up. Also, when was getting less points the same as matching a points total. And if you’re going to react like that then you’ll inevitably get stick for it and keep getting asked similar things. Bruce likes to bang about how long he’s been in the game and how he’s seen it all and he chomps like that over a relatively benign question? What a fucking tit.

What a fucking tool this bloke is, does he have any redeeming features as a man?

I used to get the cold sweats standing at the cinema at the Metro centre wondering if I could recognise them.

IPlayer?

As an allegory for our entire club, the Marios look like they’re moving, but they’re not. (Anything’s better than watching us, eh?)

I blame the MSM. They made me do it

We can't all be fortunate enough to run a podcast nee one listens to Dave. Be kind

Oldie but a goodie (so probably mentioned before). Bingeing Black Sails, some of the acting is ropey but story is excellent, small touches and detail in the sets at times is also excellent, mix of historical characters (Blackbeard, Charles Vane, Calico Jack etc). and fictional, it's a prequel to Treasure Island, with John Silver (not Long John yet), Captain Flint and Billy Bones etc. as characters. Am loving it tbh. Tits, big bushes, blood and guts galore me hearties.
