Arsenal are pushing really high, it looks like a tactic that could work if their defence wasn't so poor.

TBF Charners and Bruce will do anything Ashley says so for a bloke like him they are perfect.

With the terrible financial situation Bruce keeps talking about I'm surprised they can pay the Saturday staff for this game to go ahead.

We broke Ashleys rules.

I said it a few weeks ago, thing that will put the most pressure on is if the Saudis, Reubans and Staverly came out with a statement confirming there desire to takeover the club and are prepared to wait to do it.

I could see your point if the top 6 didn't have private meetings without the other members to employ Masters and Hoffman, it's a closed shop, delay and distract is the tactic and no amount of meetings in the Irish center will change that.

Is Jones off with England next week?

Sad but true

The removal of Hoffman would make no difference whatsoever, the Premier league board is just a facade to cover the real people that run the show, the top 6. Masters and Hoffman would be removed in a heartbeat if they didn't do their job of blocking the takeover. It's dead because the top 6 don't want it as it would impact their ability to make more money, the fact it would bring investment into the region means nothing. Its over and the sooner people realise that the sooner they can get on with their lives.

If Bruce brings in Drinkwater or Barkley I think that's bottom 5 confirmed.

Mendes is the Jeff Greene of super agents like

I bet Bruce is chuffed to bits his team has signed Ronnie

Will Man City not sign a striker now ?

My hatred has finally clicked to Pardew levels now where I actively wanted us to lose because I thought it was the best for the club

So if Armstrong scores a hatrick tomorrow it's not Bruce's fault its the previous manager ?

If we are skint can we not just open a 52000 seater stadium, join a league that pays a minimum of £120 million a season and charge a kings ransom for replica shirts ?

It's like he's managing Wigan, of course there is money Bruce you fuckin numpty

Imagine having that choice tho

Don't worry lads, remember Bruce is not afraid to go and knock on Ashley's door at St James. It's not his fault he's in Miami

I thought Wison had signed for Man City, when I saw the picture on Twitter.

How will Edwards and the Steve Bruce pundit fan club spin that. Not that it matters now the lucky get has an international break to take the pressure off.

Jota for Maddison

Sissoko off to Watford

Looks like one of his older squads

Early Southampton goal, happy clappers turn, Bruce panics, big defeat.
