The Bonk

Here ya go, @ikri.

Want the coat included or just his head and neck? I've got Photoshop open!

Yup, unfair on Jones as well, perhaps they'd like to keep him on post Bruce as he's definitely a solid coach and can provide some institutional knowledge, bridge the player relationships when the new manager or DoF are appointed. Which, frankly, I'd be in support of.

We did and the media made out we redefined "parking the bus" which was actually a team acutely aware of position and quite decent on the counter. Now, we're just fucking hopeless both ends of the pitch.

Unorganized mess, he's completely undone anything Rafa had instilled in them. Well done, Bruce.

What the fuck has he meant by this? That they're old and slow or something? That's you, you fucking cunt. Bruce is such a fucking boomer, man.

Maybe it was a respect thing, totally undeserved mind, but give him the 1000 and send him packing. Avoid's being seen as a villain by his pundit chums for sacking him at 999.

Yup.

Result would have been the same if he was binned. Now at least we have something to look forward to and get behind when he does get sacked.

The rudest of awakenings.

To think there was still 30min left to be played.

I'm as optimistic as I've been since it was official. If anything, our owners just got an eyeful of the work needed to be done to see some ROI on their initial investment.

Spurs need some blame for taking their foot off the gas and not putting 5 past us. Which would have been more reflective of the run of play.

perfect.

Was a pleasure to help pump some life into their season. Well done to Bruce and the lads.

Someone's Nan waving the white flag in a B&W tea towel is as embarrassing as the performance on the pitch.

The Mackem Slayer had purpose, I see none of that it wor Joe.

Can we sign Dier in January?

Those "marginal gains" paying off for wor Jonjo.

It's more insulting than them actually going for it.

"Reet, MBS, yeah mate, we'll need to empty the full kitty, mate." - His Excellency

"'Kin 'ell, we've got some job on." -His Excellency

How grim did they look.

"Marginal gains..."

Appears to have reverted to his pre loan spell form or had whatever skill he exhibited last year Bruce'd out of him.
