I think he wants to sell to PIF as he'll get 300 odd million but I agree that he's not desperate to sell. If he was desperate to sell it why doesn't he knock £100m off the asking price and get rid?

Playing him and Joelinton (although the latter wasn't too bad which says fuck all) is like playing with 9 men.

Posted in the Bruce thread, Jones' formation is bollocks. Plays with no strikers and exposes our shite full backs badly. We may well be able to play with Almiron, Wilson, Manquillo and ASM but they're out and it needs changing. If we don't beat Villa or Brighton a strong 10, we're down.

This formation that we've been playing since Jones has come in is shite, mind. Aye, it won us the game at Everton and Southampton but its now been found out. Its basically playing without a striker and it exposes poor full backs really badly. Maybe we can play it with all players back fit. But they aren't. He has to change it but he won't, the useless cunt.

Well said tubes. Telling it how it is.

Serves Bruce right for thinking a point at a 19th placed WBA who have a worse defensive record than us and have won 3 times all season was a good result tbh.

Embarrassing to the sport.

One of the worst games I've ever watched. We're drawing our winnable games, can't see when we next win. It certainly won't be without ASM, Almiron and Wilson.

Hendrick being on the pitch may as well be like having 10 men. Not terrible first 20 minutes but then reverted to long balls to Fraser whenever we win it back since then. Don't seem to be doing anything remotely similar to what Jones has brought in last few games. Tragic stuff.

Bristol City letting me down for £125 on a six fold. Hate betting.

28 years ago.

Keown called out McClaren too. To the punditry thread

Sorry everyone for yesterday. But in regards to what Disco is on about:

Oh tubes, you’ll definitely watch it. Aye. Wish he'd fuck off with his constant shite patter. 4 or 5 different accounts over 5 years. Absolute weirdo.

Danny Rose saying that he was shocked at getting so much time off at Newcastle whereas Pochettino would only give Spurs players 1 day off if they were lucky. Benitez having the players in for training in the evening after he was appointed in the afternoon in the same day. Bruce is such a fucking embarrassment to the profession of being a football manager. Clubs' owners and directors deserve everything they get for appointing him.

25 years ago.

Spot on tubes. You tell them.

He has to go now. Untenable as fuck.

Rodgers was as well iirc.

That first half is one of about three particularly memorable halves in the Bruce era, would you say? That one, then the two halves at Bournemouth? Has there been any others that would threaten to jolt the likes of me out of my hateful stupor? I know we've won games on the odd occasion, but I'm talking about really capturing the imagination. Maybe throw in the stoppage time at Everton, if you enjoy a bit of Jordan Pickford giving NUFC totally undeserved points out of nowhere. So three halves and a stoppage time, what a ride. Richard Keys is right. Games I've enjoyed under Bruce. West Ham (a) Nov 2019. Contrived to throw it away but we should've been 5 or 6 up at HT. West Brom (a) Mar 2020. Miggy finally played in his best position and it finally looked like we were putting lower league opposition in the cup to the sword. Still contrived to throw it away. Bournemouth (a) July 2020. Probably our best performance under Bruce. West Ham (a) Sept 2020. They came close a few times but given how West Ham are doing this season its looking like one of our best wins. Burnley (h) Oct 2020. Probably the only home game where we looked in control for the majority of it. Everton (a) Jan 2020. Best we've played for the whole 90 minutes. 6 games after 1 season and two thirds. How grim.

On a less bright note, as the Bruce era has been AIDS, the West Brom away cup win is already a year ago today. Time's flying, or being wasted. I had to watch the first half in a lecture, as my Tuesday lectures last year finished at 9pm (fucking draining). When ASM hit the post with a thundercunt from 30 yards thankfully the lecturer didn't hear me shout "fucking hell!" from the back of the room.

Spurs (h) Liverpool (a) City (H) Leeds (h) Villa (a) Wolves (h) Arsenal (a) Chelski (A) It'll be done before needed to beat burnley and palace Agains, this is the dumbest argument. Every team has to play every team, there's no such fucking thing as a list of hard fixtures coming up. Everyone has to play all the teams twice. Fuck off. Agree but also disagree . Its a moot point but you'd much rather have Sheff Utd, Burnley, Southampton and West Brom as your remaining or next 4 games than Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea and Leicester wouldn't you? You have to play them at some point anyway, it doesn't matter, as the other teams also has to play them "Oh my, we have to play Man City next, that's bad for us" .... wait, what? All the other teams also has to play Man City at some point. Again like I agree, but say at the start of a new season if we're taken over () I'd want games v the big six spread out rather than play them all in our first 6 matches. If you get me.

Well said tubes.

He's his mate and has dug his heels in to sticking up for him despite 18 wins in 67 games. Chats shit and is generally patronising to the fans then tries to be witty about it by claiming he's sipping wine or some other lifting patter. Wish it was bleach, the fucking bald cunt. Him and the Tory rag he writes for can get to fuck.
