That's why all the nasty boys think you should be nowhere near the job, Steve. Every other manager in the league has at least half a brain, and uses it. Try your best!? Fuck me man, we're relegated.

This guy worked under the most successful manager in the history of the Premier League for 9 years. This is the thing i find most baffling. Of course he's never going to be as good as him or have players as good at his disposal, but surely when your own shit plan isn't working you'd just revert to copying exactly what Fergie did?

I’d take the lad from Lincoln in a heartbeat over this useless cunt, at least he’s achieved something

Pardew was utterly detestable but there were some entertaining performances during his tenure (most of them despite him rather than because of him). The 4-4 against Arsenal springs to mind. Under Bruce we’ve seen nothing in 18 months and if anything, it’s getting worse. I know Pardew had better players but Bruce could have the Man City first team and we’d still be boring as fuck to watch. He’s No.1 for me now

Fulham passing the ball around and taking the game to Spurs just reiterates a) how out of his depth Bruce is in the PL b) What a fucking coward he is and c) how depressing it is that teams just coming up are about 100 times more enjoyable to watch than we are

I still can't get my head around this prick setting up defensively against the team with the joint lowest goals for tally in the league. The man is an idiot. He can try and convince us he was playing with two false 10s all he wants, but he blatantly set up to not concede against a team that can't hit a barn door. I don't even know what the words are to describe that.

As others have said, our only hope is the takeover. If it looks like we’re dragged into the shit and that could potentially jeopardise the takeover Ashley might pull the plug.

Every player gets a free pass from me until Bruce leaves. You can’t judge anyone properly while they’re playing for this fraud and being so incompetently coached.

Should’ve put more than a fiver on it. Missed opportunity!

I honestly can’t believe what I’m watching. We are absolutely pathetic. This is literally as bad as I’ve ever seen us play

Getting dry bummed by the team rock bottom of the league. Bruce ball at its finest.

What a fucking coward!

From the little we saw of him he seems to have good feet, tenacity and he’s yet to have the confidence and motivation drained out of him by the 3 Steves. Given how many low impact midfielders we have in the first team squad, we might as well start him against Sheff Utd

We're going to end up with Bentaleb again, nailed on

Tactics, gameplan, players to fit a specific system - it'll never catch on.

When fans are paying £50+ for a match ticket you have an obligation to entertain them, rightly or wrongly. Bruce is getting an easy ride because there are no fans in the stadium but he should be given absolute dog's abuse when the stadium allows supporters in, regardless of our league position, because he's serving up a bowl of shit when people are paying for fine dining. We're comfortably the worst team to watch in probably the top two divisions. Any result we get feels more like a fluke than an orchestrated plan. That's not entertaining!

Put a bet on 10 minutes ago for us to win 0-1, to try and salvage something from my Friday night. Wilson scored, looking good! Fucking Joelinton man! Now the fucker turns up! ??‍♂️

Deservedly, he was shite! Probably still is

It feels like Joelinton is so close to being a really good footballer but he’s just not right now. How someone who knows football could watch him and think he’s worth £40m is baffling! He must’ve had a couple of absolute worldie performances in front of our scouts. Or someone was pissed!

I haven’t actually been repulsed watching us for the past 25 minutes. Feels weird!

He repeatedly shouts their names, I think that’s his thing. I've heard him shout 'time!' on a few occasions. You know, the kind of thing I shout to fat Lee on a Wednesday night kickabout.

Unbelievable how short people's memories are. On his day, ASM is one of the best in the PL. Pundits, other team's fans, the media etc. were frothing over his performances last season - he was lighting the league up. It's no coincidence that since our neolithic manager tinkered with his positioning and probably sapped a lot of his motivation, we've looked a lot less dangerous as a team and ASM has looked a fraction of the player he was last season. Some of that is no doubt down to other teams figuring out how to play him but most of it is down to our shit deployment of him In the right scenario ASM is a game winner - Bruce isn't that scenario, ever!

That's gonna hurt even more when this saga is all over, NUFC are in the Championship and Neil Warnock walks through the door. I'd snap your hand off for Neil Warnock right now

He’s played 4-5 games at a new club, with new teammates, under a shit manager and shit coaches. Chill out!

He does, he’s shit!
