Only problem with your analysis is he's never been massively successful before. He was 22 when we signed him and was on an upward trajectory before we got involved. The 40m obviously remains insane but I'm my opinion he'll go on to have a decent career elsewhere at a club with actual coaches.

Quite like the fact that Ashley brought in a local yes man to take any heat or focus off him and said yes man is so shit everyone in the media trying to defend him are frantically pointing the focus at Ashley as "the real problem" when people start questioning how good he is at his job

I was about to post in the Bentaleb thread why sign and play that cunt ahead of Shortstaff? At least he has shown he can score goals and impact games.

West Ham say hello. Moyes is a better manager than Bruce. They'll get at least a point.

i find this weird mind, seeing as he became a billionaire while also being a hermit that no one knew existed

if anyone has more of these please post them mind, i love reading them as much as it depresses me we could have had the man for a decade, think where we'd have been

hadn't realised how bad shape west ham were in tbh, that'll be an astonishing relegation if they manage it, genuinely very impressive interesting that their £40m striker has only got 6 goals as well, granted it's 5 more than ours but still this lad was much more highly rated than joey unless i'm mistaken

you're in an induced coma on life support for 12 years, given the choice would you (a) take a new drug and come off the life support as will allow you to live, not gonna lie it'll be hard going and there will be some tough times but ultimately with some hard work and luck you'll be in a better place eventually or (b) stay in a coma on life support because being alive again might be shite better the devil you know!

every little anecdote is like a kick in the balls and a knife to the heart at the same time

i saw what OGS did to rob lee, he's 100% guilty forever for everything in my eyes

watched it recently, was class when

is this confirmed or proposed? it'll be carnage (again)

wouldn't make sense as it would have to be in line with something the defender can stop the attacker scoring with surely?

loved the little snippet about him from the crouch podcast; while other clubs were putting players in single rooms rafa stuck with the old sharing model and made sure to put players together by position hoping they'd sit at night talking about the game and how to improve etc.

we should remember we were also poor for a long stretch last season and the season before, but from late dec/jan onwards everything clicked and you're exactly right with this it's so frustrating 2 x outside CBs as deep lying playmakers carrying the ball out and playing the passes, frees up the 2 x CMs to make space for a short pass if they want it which in turn drags opposition "defenders" out of position, which in turn allows us more space to move into...we then natually move higher up the pitch as a team because we're not stood in lines pelting it up to a lone striker how in the name of fuck a man like bruce who played and has 20 years managerial experience couldn't watch a few videos and work this out himself is staggering

there's no way he wrote it, makes sense if he just put his name to it and was written by some shite knacker

nobody else agreed to it though, how could they? unilateral end of the transfer window triggering a clause shouldn't be allowed though, that's shite

oddly the more i've detached myself from SDFC i've started to enjoy football across the board a lot more and am watching more than in many years i've nothing invested in it so can appreciate the skill and quality on show, or lack of in many cases still would never bother with CL games prior to the stage of tonight, group stuff is absolute bollocks...champo a great league

I’ve not been paying attention. Have Barca actually been given special dispensation to ignore the window? I mean, what? it's a la liga agreement that applies to all clubs as far as i understand it - certain circumstances have to be met, player out for x amount months and has to be removed from the squad etc. they can all do it if they met the criteria

just went back to look at our possession last season from the man city game on, which most of us would accept was the best of rafa 15 games average 40.5%

Agnew: "Steve, I think we should adjust the back line and try to transition the play into counter-offensive channels" Bruce:

it's an honour to gift goals to lacazette & ozil who hadn't scored in a combined 345 years

International football is way better than club football friendlies

these will fucking bury us today i reckon, 3-0 minimum
