Fraser = mole!!!

See he's got his scapegoat in slongstaff ready. "We lacked the creativity and legs in midfield today, but I thought Jonjo was fantastic when he made that one forward run of 5 metres...."

Oh c'mon... he asks wor andy "how's the kids?". What more do you want?

eey aye eey aye here we go..... Going to dream tonight about getting to wembley and winning the pappa john's cup.

Exlied fan so only got to 2-3 games a season but said when Rafa went that was it for me. Ashamed it took me that long to make that decision.

Scottish Magpie on Manchester United fans and the Glazers: "Whether the mancs don't like it..... a lot of them hate them but..... round your money up and take over the club then."

Maybe if he spent more time actually doing the job he was employed to do by his previous clubs (I include NUFC in that too!) he'd have less time to make 'friends' and actually might have had a chance at being liked by thousands of fans of a club. But nah, he's happy sucking sutton and rio's ring.

Yeah. That's who my money would be on.

How the fuck can 'club sources' think that? If my memory serves me correctly, to get promoted from the championship is all about the accumulation of points isn't it? To accumulate points you have to win games? To win games you have to attack the opposition and score goals? Where the fuck has this cabbage faced kunt displayed that he can get 'his' team to do any of that? We couldn't even beat Brentford's reserves for fuck sake!! To be top in the championship you have to have momentum, be on a roll like Norwich have been. The only fucking rolls this wanker knows is the bacon variety. FUCK OFF!!!

none of our players will turn up, literally I mean.... it's been in the calendar weeks in advance as a day off as specified by the sports scientists.

google for the definition of 'dead man walking' and a picture of s bruce will be the first and only result. He's basically gagging for the sack from his comments/actions over the past few days. I think the 'statement' from on high on Sunday morning saying there were going to keep him is just a ploy. I think they want shot of him but don't want to pay him the 4 million. I think charnley or barnes has had a word in mike's ear and told him that bruce is close to to edge. They're hoping he breaks and resigns. I bet bruce was hoping for the sack but then that statement comes out, like "fuck, what do I need to do to get sacked around here?, I know!, 6 days off!, back to you mike!".

Oh, a survey. Count me in !

Me too. Lost count already the amount of times today I've jumped in here in the hope the tread title has been changed.

Our passing and movement is primary school level. It has been since bruce came in the kitchen door. If I was manager watching us this season, and just thinking what can I do to improve things surely to God the first thing would get them in extra training days and practice.

What was it the commentators were saying after the 'battling' point against fat sam's WBA post ritchie-gate? "that's not a team that has stopped playing for their manager'.... well, I beg to fucking differ. He MUST resign after this match. Edit: we are stinking up the league. Relegate us now. Insult to the game to call us a football club.

Can't wait for him "we waz init till the injury, i'm not one for excuses but that upset us all, I even had to stop eating my steak bake"....

Oh, I don't "do" change. I'm sure it will all go swimmingly and look forward to seeing the new world. On a related note... thanks to everyone on here who works in some capacity behind the scenes to keep this beautiful place running.

Think I've just got a tingly feeling downstairs.

The bruce fanboys in the media are gonna do what they do regardless if he stays or not. Just get shot of him. We know he's a waste of space. There's nothing that could happen between now and end of the season that will change their minds on the job bruce is doing. They like him, they're wrong. Sack the kunt now and move on.

Surprised no-one foresaw it and said something.

Just read the 'not good enough' quote. 100% this.

Thanks Steve for explaining 3 draws equals 3 points. My eyes are opened like Saul on the road to Damascus. fuck nugget!

Agree it's too late but they've got to do something. I know some folk want him to stay just so he 'owns' another relegation on his CV but feck that. This is about NUFC, not S Bruce. Besides, we could get humped 10 nil in all games till the end of the season and his pals will spin it in his favour. Saying that the only reason I'd want him to stay was if he could be here when fans are let back in. A full stadium made Pards cry and he's thick skinned. If 10,000 or so are let in and even just half of them give him verbal grief he'll buckle like a teenage girl at a one direction gig. One thing that does go round my head is how does Bruce see this ending? Is he just holding out for his compensation money when he is sacked? Or does he honestly think he can turn this around? His son tells him what the fans online think of him but does he not think that is a true reflection of 'real' fans? After all, he has letters to prove how much he's liked. He keeps saying he thinks he'll be manager of us next season. Even IF we stayed up, what does he think that first home game of next season will be like? He has to realise he is a dead man walking, maybe not in Ashley's eyes, but in every other sense. Basically he's getting fired in a cannon back home to the north west sometime so might as well be now.

Could be argued the unwashed are making moves to finish above us next season.

Yeah, did he not have them in on the Sunday before the Monday night game against Leicester? Seem to recall reading he had a really loud whistle and in that session he would be constantly stopping the players and challenging them and asking them why they made the pass they just made or whatever. Getting them to think about what they were doing and the decisions they were making. Wanting them to become better players and actively helping them reach that. Can't imagine bruce ever doing shit like that. Rafa - I miss you and want you back!!
