wormy

This is my only real worry; he could be off like a shot if he decides he can't do up north. Aside from that, I would've taken him before the takeover and I'd still take him now. Can understand fears that he may not do much to rectify the defence but he'll sure as hell get the team playing more fluidly and that alone would alleviate pressure on the defence.

Another day off? Surely not!

My memory's too shit to prove it but I imagine the same could've been said about Roeder stepping in for Souness all those years ago.. I think it's just about lifting the cloud of Bruce right now over the ability of the person lifting that cloud.

Yorkie, no. I'm normally comforted by the fact I agree with practically everything you ever say. Agree to disagree though, I guess. There's a shit ton of time in the season, yes. But it's clearly toxic as fuck. There's no benefit to keeping him around purely because they haven't found their new man that outweighs the negatives of that toxicity imo.

I understand wanting to have someone lined up but this isn't just the fans having lost patience over the past 2 years. This is extreme circumstances now. I've seen a couple of comments saying that Jones may have said behind closed doors he doesn't want to take on the caretaker role.. has that come from anywhere with any validity? If true I say sack him off as well tbh. Obviously not quite as urgently as Bruce; wait until the new team is in place.. whoever that may be. If the above Jones talk is a load of shite.. tell him he's in charge and he can give any peers a bell that are currently unattached and willing to lend a hand.

Bearing in mind whatever leverage the consortium's legal team had to cause the takeover to get pushed through so quickly, I have to say I actually have a half glass full feeling in that there's a reasonable chance this won't stick. Too much hypocrisy to not use as leverage.

Salty little pricks. But of course the uproar is definitely over the moral side of things.

Is @Mikestill admin or owt? Needs revoking if so. Utter menace.

Who needs managerial ability when you've got pals in the media?

Yeah fair and you're a better person than I. Was just being facetious really. A fair and adult stance to take rather than my 'fuck off already you useless tosser'.

Using the term 'service' very loosely these days. Think that's just his general attitude, tbh. Ironically he's probably most happy when he's able to not give a shit like yesterday. You can guarantee it was water off a duck's arse while he got to chill in the changing room that little bit earlier than usual.

Kind of fair play to them for publishing it in the interest of 'balance' but equally I'm mad it exists.

The thought of Martinez trying to get this team organised sends shivers down my spine.

At least we kept our dignity and respect today, eh peeps?

Was shocked to see a post of mine on the past page. Says it all we've only moved on one page in a year. Seems he took his chance at being the 'voice' under Rafa and fair play to him. Because if today was anything to go by he's been living off it for a while.

No Bruce? 0. Bruce? 8.

Really sad that mug was just Paddy Power tbh.

He looks buzzing.

It may be the beers on an empty stomach talking but I don't think even Bruce can bring this mood down. City is buzzing. Stadium will be even more. Let's just be United again. I love you all!

Get fucked did they have ice.

All you need to know is if I'm going down, I'm taking you with me. Enjoy the match!

Utter scum, am I right? Fucking plastics.

Would be an absolute dream if they quietly got as many legends as possible and shouted them out at half time, culminating with KK. The reception would be unbelievable.

Imagine Jones taking the post-match media duties because Bruce has been called to a meeting.
