aimaad22 4156 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) I'm surprised he managed to win 7 games tbh. Shite league. And we thought he was a Championship level manager, apparently not Edited August 17, 2022 by aimaad22 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanna hazard a guess how many of his last 30 games managing us ended in victory? At least he’s consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6682 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 The majority of the fans at ALL the clubs he's managed cannot be wrong about him. His media mates focus in on how 'unfair' we were about him but fuck me, we weren't in isolation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trophyshy 7083 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Steve Barnes couldn’t believe it. He’d barely been at the club long enough to memorise the local takeaways and already the knives were out. He thought this time would be different, this time his skills would finally be appreciated, respected, even revered - like what Pep does. But no, as he stood picking more eggshell off his nearly-new Lexus, he felt that bitter betrayal working its way into his heart, again. The Lexus was a beauty though, sort of looked like a cross between a cruise liner and a spaceship. He’d had many hours of pleasure in her already, as the passenger footwell testified. They’d all been so nice to him at the start, just a few months ago. They’d met all his demands, even down to the waffle maker and bidet. Why was he here again? He knew why of course, his enduring nemesis. Results. What they didn’t appreciate was each and every bad result wasn’t down to him, only the good ones were. Barnes had his list for every game, and each list was memorised, like that Deliveroo website. He could win Mastermind with it as his specialist subject, easily. One day he'd get Alex to analyse all these and share the data with Luke. Should get a few more articles for us both out of that. Easy money. 18 April 2022, away defeat 5 minutes - biased refereeing 8 minutes - opposition looking like they have been training ffs. 14 minutes - referee, again! 21 minutes - that cunt Lee Rider is here! 26 minutes - back line failed to follow my instructions 34 minutes - back line failed to follow my instructions. 44 minutes - this referee is an utter cunt like. Half time - gave the lads a proper earful. One of my top drawer speeches, somewhere between Joe Pesci, Fergie and Churchill. Probably whuz best performance so far today. No time for usual meal, which I'm anxious about. 45 minutes - FOR FUCKS SAKE MAN. 50 minutes - these forwards are shite, I can’t work with this. 59 minutes - they’ve parked the bus now, this just isn’t fair. 66 minutes - A GOAL! Get the fuck in! Exactly how we worked on on training - they can follow instructions after all! 67 minutes - goal disallowed for extremely dubious two players offside. 68 minutes - FUCKY CUNTY BALLS BASTIDS. This defence man, total shite. 75 minutes - I’m hungry now, struggling to concentrate. 80 minutes - this twatting referee man, he’s not getting a drink off of me later. I'm off for one now, fuck this. Full time - another game ruined by biased officials and the team failing to follow my simple instructions to not concede goals. It wouldn’t matter though, it never mattered that it was never his fault. What mattered was he was in charge and had to carry the can despite it never being his fault. Life is just unfair he thought, checking the time on his Rolex Yacht-Master with multi-coloured gems Anyway, moving on, the Lexus was looking perfect again and he had to get off to his night class. They were learning how to make Baklava, a result that was assured to please, he laughed. Oh yes, he could taste the sticky sweetness already. Just time for a couple of Big Macs en route. Eat the pain away bonny lad. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Lemon entry, wor kid, I mean, my dear, Steven, lemon entry! Lol! Laters captain. Off for a few moretti in my toon territory." "Good idea, slaphead. After half an hour working on this fucking book I'm going to need another holiday. But don't tell the chairman!" 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2204 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 WBA lost tonight in the second round of the EFL cup. To Derby, who are in L1 and nearly went out of existence recently. Well fancy that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm chairman I'd actually take a punt on an unknown manager rather than going to him. At least there's a chance, no matter how small, that could go well. With Brucey its nailed on 100% incompetence. So the whoever hires him pretty much deserves what they get. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw I only just found out Rogic has been signed from Celtic by West Brom, decent player, in Scotland but a bit of a crock and way too slow for the Championship. Also another Central Coast makem, so perfect for the cabbage! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s where @aimaad22 is from, so just wanted to scare him! Had a look Rogic wasn’t even on the bench tonight and only signed for them on Monday 12 Sept as a free agent, so knowing cabbage’s fitness plan Rogic’s arse will be too large to fit on the plane. Ange released him, so I’d say he’s fucked anyway if that’s the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah not sure about that, seeing he's ended up at West Brom (so not playing CL) under the cabbage and didn't sign until 12 September, so 11 days after the window closed. Stinks of release and desperation by all involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
