stifler's post history is required reading for all freshmen.

Not willingly walking into almost certain relegation a second time isn't cowardice, I don't know how you got to that conclusion. I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to spend another season in the championship for a second time.

he'd be a glutton for punishment if he did. Couldn't salvage McClaren's efforts and I doubt he'd be able to with Bruce's either. I don't think the knives would be necessarily out though; they weren't the first time around and it would be a tall order for anyone in the world regardless. also why come back to feast on a turd pancake a second time? If he's truly wanted then he'll wait for the summer and see if we stay up.

The class gulf between the two clubs, from top to bottom, off and on the pitch, and on the touchlines, is just breathtaking

100-to-1 Bruce blames too much input from Jones as the biggest contributing factor for the loss in the post-match interview :lol:

I had shit to do anyway. small blessing this only ate half an hour.

Maybe they're finalizing negotiations on a boat because of the implications.

Just took a peek in the other thread and they’re posting webcam footage of a boat docking in the Bahamas. "They", huh? You know, sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion. edit: safety

I hope he does. >

redcafe is the worst

Did some furious googling and poor translating around DeGrosa's GACP purchase of Bordeaux - which I think now makes me an expert on the matter - and he sounds like more of a chancer than Mauriss with arguably shittier business practices and similarly shallow pockets. Should instantly disqualify them btw. F&P Owners Test should absolutely include a question about this.

Thread Title being 2 years out of date is on brand

we responded well to going down 1-2 by not equalizing and I couldn't be happier

local cabbage unhappy about being undermined lmao

Would have loved for them to have done followups about the formation until he walked away in anger. Just the simplest things "what are the tactical ideas behind this. What's Almiron's real role in this formation? How are the fullbacks involved?" and watch him flounder, unable to answer.

infinitely more satisfying too because it'll rankle him something fierce.

No we haven't. Not since Keegan's version with Owen playing behind Viduka and Martins It's blatantly something Jones has identified as suiting the players we have, and why he was giving so much instruction, while the Steves were all looking dumbfounded Compare and contrast in that gif and our previous games :lol: Graeme, identifying something not going right - steps up to touchline and gestures, shouting instructions with meaning behind them Bruce, identifying something not going right - sulks with hands in pocket, begins mentally prepping for sheepishly acknowledging in post-match interview that our sleeves weren't rolled up enough.

I remember hearing years ago that it was a bet that Ashley could make money through owning a club. Makes sense. He then fell out with the fanbase and developed a hate/contempt for the whole region, so IMO he now has 2 aims, making money and keeping a cloud of misery over the club. Does he actually hate the club, fans, area - to the degree we always think? With the greatest respect I've always thought that's something our fanbase have kept on telling ourselves. Always thinking the worst of him, portraying him as some bond villain that's going out of his way to f*** us over at whatever financial/reputational cost. Obviously won't have any love for the club/fans, but whilst countless decisions have obviously f***ed us over to varying degrees, our suffering under him is a (un)happy coincidence. The decisions he makes, and his general ownership are born through incompetent/clueless rather than malevolence and hatred for the fans, and end of the day his financial standing/investment. I don't think it matters much to quibble over the degree of like/dislike he has. Whether the contempt is real or just a story we tell ourselves, at the end of the day the product is the same; a club run as ineptly, un-ambitiously and cheaply as possible, happy to just make up the numbers. Sure, In some cosmic, metaphysical sense there's an injustice being done by thinking of him as evil: malice misattributed to an orc with poor taste in jeans. But it changes nothing so I don't care.

I'd suffer eating a whole raw chicken if I had the chance to power vom it on Edwards later

Christ That is fucking hilarious. Actually allergic to scoring :lol:

kind of funny that sometimes when a manager is resigned to their fate they have an extra skip in their step and become a little more adventurous; the inevitability of their end lifting a weight off their shoulders. Bruce, unfortunately, is too goddamn stupid to do that at least and has doubled down with this completely toothless roman tortoise formation football.

deciding to be a toon supporter in '02 is going to be my Joker origin story
