Bang on.

Was thinking this earlier. Anderson has been really disappointing this season. I've liked the look of Fornals in the handful of games I've seen him play for them. Whisper it, looks like a Rafa player.....

Woah. Didn't realise that .

Do we thank Benitez for being a game away from Wembley in the FA Cup too? True. Bruce really deserves credit for beating Rochdale after needing a replay, then Oxford in extra time after needing a replay and being outplayed for most of the game, then a Championship side. I'll give him that. :lol:

i think it more likely, considering how long this has gone on, that they've either failed the tests or been told they'd fail unless they addressed piracy which they've now done Personal hunch is that PL have said 'we find it hard to differentiate KSA and PIF' and PIF have started off with a standpoint of 'Prove we are different' and then the two parties have gradually discussed each others positions, PIF learn more about what PL want from any discussions and PIF commit to using their influence to enable change.

Look how furious you are Bruce hasn't done as shite you thought he would. If you've enjoyed watching the football served up this season with samptime29[/member] then good for you two. I think he's been shite, lucky as fuck and can't stand the Ashley stooge.

well put - what was that period where we were picking results with our defenders scoring random goals as we were dicked off the pitch in most games? he doesn't "deserve credit" for that because winning games by having your defenders score all the goals isn't a tactical plan, it was fucking luck Of course it was . Honestly, I've never said 'how the fuck did we win that?!?' or 'How the fuck are we nicking a point from this?' more in my 33 years as a NUFC fan. He's been the luckiest cunt going. Even yesterday it took a red card, defensive slip and Sheff Utd being knackered to break the deadlock but, all of a sudden, we're lucky to have 'Good Ole Steve'. At this rate, we'll be lucky to hang on to him and Poch will have a competitor at every elite interview he does this summer :lol: . Who on here suddenly said we were lucky to have good ole Steve? Where did I say that was from here? If not here then who suddenly said we were lucky to have good ole Steve after Sheff Utd had a red card ? The pundits (his mates) and his drinking buddies in the media have been saying how great he is all weekend? Did you miss that? So which pundit or drinking mates of his suddenly said we were lucky to have good old Steve after Sheff Utds red card? Read what I wrote again please. "Even yesterday it took a red card, defensive slip and Sheff Utd being knackered to break the deadlock but, all of a sudden, we're lucky to have 'Good Ole Steve'." Which of Bruces drinking mates and pundits said we were "lucky" to have "good ole Steve" after sheff utd had a player sent off and had a defensive slip-up in order for us to break the deadlock? Fuck me. The point I was making is that we needed a break yesterday to break the deadlock. The win yesterday, against a knackered ten men, has now given he friends in the media and ex-colleagues on TV a further opportunity to talk him up. But I think you probably already knew that and were just being pedantic. So it didn't happen then, cheers. Your interpretation didn't happen but that's because you were trying to be a pedantic cunt. I'd imagine most others could see the point being made. Aye so it didn't happen, cheers! Bruce Bum Brother for life. Hope you follow him to whichever shite championship side he ends up when he's binned. Ta da.

Very similar to the Pardew era this.

The Bruce Bum Brothers right here :lol: . He's fucking hopeless man. He's been as lucky as fuck all season and his CV doesn't lend any hope whatsoever that things will change.

Fucking hell :lol: not sure what point you think you're making, he stuck to rafa's system in order to keep games tight and as a result we couldn't score for shit if you think steve bacon is the brains behind that defensive organisation and dubravka playing out of his skin you need help Might as well just had a fucking crash test dummy in the dugout then? This fucking board man. Didn't you quit the board or determine that you weren't going to bother discussing Mr Doubtfire again or did I get you mixed up with a different Bruce apologist? Got your facts wrong (again). Shame.

He inherited a superbly drilled and organised back third of the pitch if you're saying he's not gotten incredibly lucky that he did then you're blinded by your argument. Therefore, Rafa had a hand in our survival this year. Sorry but it's true.

Yup - this is it nailed.

Stats, they help you analyse football based on more than just a hunch. Agree with your second point though, it's not really a debate. If the takeover goes through, he'll be gone soon enough. It's not a hunch that Bruce has done a decent enough job here. It's also not a hunch that he's achieved FUCK ALL in his entire managerial career and will always be an Ashley shill. Fuck off Steve. Yes man prick.

Yep. Anyone defending Bruce by using his predecessors main strength is kind of missing the elephant in the room. Rafa is the reason we survived this season too but the Bruce love-in Brigade wouldn't dare admit that :lol: . He's been the jammiest fucker going. Christ. Tis true. If we'd kept Rondon and Perez but sold three of Rafa's starting defenders then we'd have gone down. Bruce has massively benefitted from Rafa's organisational work. But perhaps that doesn't fit your narrative?

Yep for 70% of the season and then when he couldn't get them to score goals, he tweaked it. Can't remember the useless oaf thanking Rafa for signing Dubravka either because it's him who has kept the useless fucker in a job. Haha, when did a manager last thank their predecessor for a signing a player for him? Well he's been the first to criticise the system he inherited so why not thank Rafa too?
