I'd read about him interrupting interviewers, but hadn't seen it in action until last night. Good lord, he's annoying.

What happens first? A real manager comes in and tells him to sling his useless hook? Or he sees his contract out?

The way the commentators express their disbelief that he's cocked up another corner as he's some world-beater is so annoying, like. The reason it keeps happening is because he's absolutely bobbins.

So he's gone 'back to basics' with 4-4-2 but has decided to deploy the Lintonator on the left wing?

"I have to accept what's coming my way." He fucking loves that one.

The bloke Bridges talks about being sat next to on the plane also missed out on the part of Aragorn in LotR. Nightmare. Not that it was a masterpiece or anything (), but I wonder how different the film would have been if they'd used the UEFA cup stuff?

Just scanned it and mainly a criticism of Ashley/Charnley etc. Does say how bad the football is but gives Bruce all the outs possible. It's all very wishy washy and you can tell how close he is to Bruce and Harper. He calls out the Sheffield game as "crap" but never really says why from our perspective, just that we let them play their game. Makes the point Bruce is head coach only at the beginning and then refers to manager throughout the rest of the article. All very much sympathy for Steve and how there are mitigations. No help from Charnley, everything falls on him etc. Didn't work on me He makes it very clear he's their pal and doesn't try to hide it, like. I think it's as scathing a criticism of Bruce as we'll get from Shearer, but the main focus of the article is Ashley's/Charnley's absent ownership/chairmanship.

Shaft?

No surprises whatsoever that it's N-O's favourite knacker writing the article. Such a needless collection of paragraphs.

Maybe it's not his fault. Maybe he's being asked to play as a false 10?

If by false he means being totally anonymous and/or getting sent off before half-time, he's bang on. Steve 'Pep(to-Bismol)' Bruce.

What? Really hope Dubravka plays, he's simply a better keeper than Darlow. Darlow been fantastic. Dubravka is by far a better keeper but does have a Rick in him Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Are you deliberately forgetting Darlow's countless gaffs over the years? He's been superb this season though, that's not in doubt.

This is going to be the feast of all feasts for the eyes.

Noticed that. I swear he calls ASM, "Maximam" too.

I'm guessing you're working on the assumption the takeover is going ahead?

That OG, man. I remember it being funny at the time but wow, it was bad.

Dyer's lack of end product was one of the few things we had to worry about at that time. How things have changed. Bruce was Bobby's recommendation for his successor, too. Fucking wish Shepherd had appointed him instead of Souness as it would've spared us this present-day shite we're having to put up with.

Shelvey is absolutely bobbins. Can't wait til he's finally gone. (I realise he's here forever. )

Jesus. What is wrong with people, man?

How many players did we have in the box for their goal? We've still managed to leave two Leicester players unmarked in acres of space. Terrible defending.

Bit of a mismatch when he squared up to Fernández, like.

Relying on our keeper having a blinder every week isn't tolerable. More tolerable relative to the Man City match, obviously. We can't give Leicester as much of the ball next time out (but of course we will).

What would this prove, like? I don't think anyone's going to deny he's been brilliant, but if you swapped him for Dubs would you really expect us to be worse off?
