His mate already out defending him. Who would have thought a fan base that had to spend two and a half years being tortured by him and his dickhead mates in the media, like Luke here, would comment when the shambolic nob got a new job? Like do one Edwards, I’m happy to admit I’m bitter enough that I hope Bruce has nothing but a shite time for the rest of his managerial career, not that it needs wished on him as he will take care of that himself. You can’t attack a fan base for clearly seeing a downward trend, then when the inevitable decline in results started just throw your hands up and say well I guess it just went wrong at the end . This is a bloke that going into his third season very clearly had a squad that he didn’t even train to be match fit for fuck sake, he’s an absolute shambles and doesn’t take his job seriously. I know it’s possibly not the case for some on this board but for me Bruce’s tenure was honestly the low point of my time supporting Newcastle, I genuinely felt my love for the game slipping away, I packed in watching any games beside Newcastle and was honestly reaching the point where I was trying to stop bothering with those and for that I will always dislike the bloke. Obviously it wasn’t entirely down to him, it coincided with the hopelessness of being completely stuck with Mike Ashley as owner after the takeover collapse but just everything about Bruce was fucking dreadful. He was an embarrassment to the club, he regularly took any criticism he received as a massive insult and rounded on the fan base or the players, the manner that the press went over the fucking top to defend him and how he played the victim for them every fucking time “eeeee man the abuse I get is unreal, had nothing like it ever” while the stadium was fucking empty and prior fan bases had actually physically assaulted him! The football was absolutely appalling, people can defend him and point to the players but he took iirc the 7th best defense in the PL over from Rafa and the next season we had the 16th ranked defense, the worst part about the football though is there was just absolutely no fucking plan. The football was wank under Pardew, Souness, Allardyce, etc but they had a plan, even Kinnear had some type of plan in attack, I genuinely couldn’t tell you what our plan was under Bruce it was just plain shit. He can fuck off, his wonky nosed prick of a son can fuck off, and this sodding gimp of a journalist can fuck off too. Dancing round as we sign players the fucking melt - same tit that screamed at excited fans that it wasn’t happening and you’re embarrassing yourselves, that you’re wrong and Bruce is a good manager. Fucking welk.10 points

Didn’t he have the most expensively assembled squad in Championship history at Villa? Iirc that was the case, he then fell out with half of them and tried to swap Jack Grealish for Jordan Rhodes or something. The fucking idiot.5 points

The irony of Luke Edwards being shocked at football fans holding a grudge is hilarious. Steve Bruce's best quality is surely his ability to get a few people on his side. He must be likeable in person, because in the media spotlight he's prickly, inarticulate and bland. At least Steve McClaren had an avuncular charm. He was shit, but I never hated him. He's claimed that the abuse is nothing he ever experienced before, at every club when the limitations of his ability are laid bare. He said the mackems hated him because he was a Geordie, that Villa fans hated him because he managed Birmingham, we hated him because he managed Sunderland. When, in truth, we all disliked him because of his personality and, more importantly, his football.5 points

One thing constantly omitted from the Steve Bruce dialectic is that the “abuse” he received at Newcastle United was largely fictitious. It was a narrative born out of a coordinated campaign by media figures who share an agent with the gammon headed doylem.5 points

the fat cunts two lower mid table finishes were the result of a david lynch like, surreal and bizarre fluke whereby defenders were scoring 20 minutes in to injury time every other game. and willock hitting a purple patch he'll never produce again if he lives to be 183. yer couldn't fucking hallucinate man4 points

So that new baby I had about 5 minutes ago is a teenager next month. That’s weird. Other than that I’ve discovered I’m made of Teflon as I’ve managed to avoid COVID despite being elbows deep in it most nights for the last 2 years.4 points

I wouldn't for a second attempt to deprive you of your dislike for wba, you fill yer boots mate. me, I tend to base my dislike of a club more on those who support it rather than those who manage/play for it. the former largely has little influence on the latter. over the years the following clubs could've been managed by a pairing of mahatma ghandi and mother teresa and played sublime, free flowing football with a team full of brilliant, unpretentious, philanthropists and they'd still be far more worthy of your hatred than wba..... sunderland middlesboro leeds man utd everton stoke leicester forest villa wolves birmingham city tottenham chelsea west ham millwall portsmouth just.my opinion.4 points

Not worth it, let them learn it themselves, slowly but surely. Bruce talking about finishing mid table is a complete misnomer because it wholly ignores hs most recent history here where he was a nailed on certainty to relegate us. The fact that we fluked a couple of mid table finishes despite him rather than because of him is not going to change anyone's mind who is at least semi informed. I honestly don't care what happens at West Brom, just happy that this cretin is no longer at our club.3 points

Funnily enough I know someone who works at the stadium on match days. And they said this when he’d only been at the club a short while so it wasn’t down to results. They reckon he treated the staff with disdain whereas most of the players were nice and friendly with the staff. Also there’s the landlord stuff. So he’s not even nice in person. Luke Edwards liking him does nothing to alter that view imo3 points

Oh, I've just received a little pop-up notification that I've reached the level of 'proficient'. Can the mods please arrange for a cut out and keep certificate that I can stick to my fridge door? Just so when I'm feeling a bit down and I can look at it and tell myself I'm not a total failure in life, I'm actually 'proficient'. TIA.3 points
