big fan Perfect material for the jumping off cliff meme we can use later this season.

Sounds like the team could do with extra time to get some more running done.

Would be fantastic with a Perez hattrick

He answered one of my questions Did you ask him what his thoughts were on the media praising Eddie Howe despite how much he's spent on transfers since Bournemouth got promoted?

In one thread people are bemoaning the fact Bruce started a known injured player playing with an injury that is widely known to get way worse if it isn't allowed to heal properly. It is also a result of old training methods and player follow up which wouldn't have happend under Rafa. In another thread people are questioning the possibility that some injuries may be exaggerated by Bruce to save face with pundits and fans when we get dumped out of the cup due to playing a weakened team which was "out of his control". Keep spouting your shite though.

True though

Wasn't that Olympiacos or am I mixing up the forum invasions here?

Did he apologise to ASM for sacrificing his health over his own image in the post match interview?

wtf happend to the Atsu who constantly loses the ball but works hard? Looking like a completely different player.

Goal looks nice, happy for Joe and Atsu. Awful defending though

I take it back, that was some shot. Just a standard blastie instead of passing it to two open players in better position.

Just this one? Awful pass just now. Got caught off guard, ironically by Sissoko, earlier. No excuses though since he's more than happy to publicly urge everyone to forget the manager who made him and get behind this complete joke.

This. No doubt he'll either completely gloss it over with "feeling bad for the lad" or blame him or the medical team (if we still have one?) for making him available. Fucking hope reporters push him on this decision to see him squirm.

Most predictable thing ever.

Always has been pathetic, from the reaction to Lascelles' initial statements till now. A good example of energy used up on the wrong causes. Exactly my thoughts as well. Ashley is the enemy not the players. Which player is going to come out and criticise their employer (Ashley) or their manager unless they were trying to force a move away? Nobody (on here at least) is asking them to criticise Ashley or Bruce.

Missing the point completely Andy. Nobody is asking him to come out with soundbites against Bruce or Ashley.

He can fuck off really Except our center backs, he most of all should be gutted Benitez is not here anymore. He'll amount to nothing under Bruce or similar type of manager that will be here from hereon out until Ashley is gone. This summer, seeing how things have gone, was his chance to get away and have the best opportunity to develop under better management. Now he's going to become a plodder that grafts at both ends of the field as the ball is hit past him every time we gain possession.

Look at Dubs interview a while ago for the blue print on how to do it without pissing off either the fans nor the regime. It's not rocket science and Longstaff should know better.

Shortstaff was sitting with Bishop and thumb man last game wasn't he?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz bore off pls

Wasn't just because of the goal btw. He held off like 4 Everton players to keep the ball in the team earlier too. Playing some good football. Knows his role, is made for his role. Almost as if Rafa knew he was more suited here than Linton.

£22m Wesley which was a target for Rafa doing better than £40m Linton in the target man role so far this season.

If Sunderland getting new owners and is looking to become a better club than SD Utd is what it takes for match going simpletons to turn then I'm all for it. Good luck to them.

This man is perfect for the demise this club needs.

The way you say his name translates to "stiff soda" in Norwegian.
