Another injury to a recently injured player thrown straight back in? What rotten 'luck'

Is Chris Kamara ok? Bloke sounds dreadful

Thought he had a tab in his mouth for about 10 seconds.

Bruce is no one's puppet. I know this is true because he told us himself.

Wonder what the reaction would have been had a Newcastle signing made that type of remark?

I can’t see who the three teams that are worse than us are tbh. Norwich are the obvious one but they’ve whacked us already. Villa also eased past us and looked comfortable tbh. Bournemouth will eventually turn it around but they look pretty bad this year. West Ham will be ok, Watford are on a roll, Burnley will grind it out even though they’re awful to watch, Brighton look decent and Southampton have turned it around. That leaves us, in freefall. Fail to beat Norwich at home and we’re fucked. I genuinely can’t pick the 3 teams we’re better than. Norwich (maybe), Villa (maybe) and Bournemouth (maybe)? 5 points clear is nothing, it can disappear in a week.

Definitely not a puppet. He either spaffed £40m on Joelinton in the summer or he’s a lying fat cunt.

Of course he won’t buy, he’s Ashley’s fat bitch. He’ll do exactly as he’s told the lickspittle spineless twat.

Actually his brother (and maybe him too, it's a bit weird) sued the club he coached (and got sacked, after he tried to sack all the coaching staff) to court, and turned out that they had faked a chairman's signature to some contract. They demanded some payments that where supposedly due. Was he trying to get a second series?

Charlie Nicholas went 0-5 as a prediction for this and got loads of shit for it yesterday.

Given how tight the league is and their recent form they should be thinking about top half tbh!

Could go either way. Could give them a rocket that at least gets them back into contention, then he might Brucify it and hope the likes of Pereyra & Deulofeu get him a few results. Looks like it’s the first one. Absolutely. Don’t mind holding my hands up, he’s been superb.

As long as they're intelligent, articulate and can talk about the game/sport with a certain amount of knowledge then their gender or race or anything else is irrelevant imo.

Blaming Rafa And the local journalists going along with it haha Brucie is a good politician I’ll give him that. How's he blaming Rafa?? Yeah I think I've mis interpreted it but he's definitely trying to deflect blame from his training methods and get people to think it's just bad luck. Yep. Injuries are obviously down to 'the medical team' and it's the same medical team a last season so.... Rafa

Attention + replies = more of the same

People should attend wearing a maroon and blue scarf to show they mean business. Ashley will shit himself when 50000 roll up in them.

Joselu v Liverpool.

Doesn't matter who plays where I couldn't give a single fuck

We'll barely see the ball and get completely outclassed. I'll go about 0-3 with about 24% possession. Bruce will whisper into the mic about injuries, walking wounded, bare bones and tough schedules after the game.

You’re so weird. That article isn’t a slight on rafa, Abeid is a good player. It's his 'thing' now. Reminds me of a mate at uni who accidentally wore 2 different types of trainer one day. He got loads of attention and then just kept on doing it deliberately. It became his thing. Zaaaany as fuck. He also turned into an utter cunt almost overnight.

"deal agreed" according to the fucking cretins at SSN.

I’d agree 100% but “winning” basically means collapsing under any contact at all and falling over the ball and relying on the ref to give a foul. Contact doesn’t equal a foul. To be honest Grealish et al aren’t to blame, it’s the spineless refs that blow every single time it happens that are to blame. Just fucking play on. Minimal contact and you’ve fallen over and lost possession? Tough shit, play on and get up. You’ve not been fouled, the defender has made contact with your shoulder. It’s not a foul, get on with it. I’ve used Grealish as an example tonight but it happens every game.

He gets midfielders trying to tackle him yeah. He doesn’t get kicked all over the shop. No player gets has been kicked all over the shop for the last 20 years, the yellow for the tackle from behind all but cleared that out of the game ages ago. He goes down under any contact. Some of them are legitimate fouls but a lot are really really soft tbh

Absolutely despise the way certain players just collapse as soon as any contact is made. Arm in the back, hand on the shoulder, faintest of shoulder on shoulder contact any every single time the player just throws himself to the ground and gets the free kick. It’s still a contact sport ffs. Grealish tonight has done it about 5 times but he’s not the only one. Any contact whatsoever and they just give in to gravity and the ref pays up each time. Piss-boiling and has been for a few years now.
