  1. Jon Dahl Thomason sticking it up them I see, Knew he would come good eventually
  2. 100% agree, Sir John did a million times more good for the club than harm.
  3. SB: “I will never give in. I’ve quit when I’ve wanted another job, I’ll give you that, but when it gets messy like it is now I’ve got no intention. “That’s when some people will say, ‘maybe he’s a bit sick’, but it’s what the job is. It’s magnified these days. We didn’t have social media 10 years ago.” The bit i've highlighted in bold at the bottom show what kind of character he is. Screaming at the club to just pay me off. He will happily walk if he's got some money to walk to. Man of his word/honor my backside WBA talking about throwing Brussels sprouts instead of cabbages at him tomorrow to show how small time he’s made them, love owt like that
  4. Suffice to say he walks in O&T many turn they’re backs and most completely ignore the tit
  5. this is certainly my experience of him, I own racehorses and have crossed his path enough times to know to avoid him completely and his dad who’s at least as bad in my experience
  6. I hadn’t read this until I read it on the WBA forum & I know I shouldn’t but I just hate the man On Saturday morning, an article appeared on The Mag which highlighted a year ago this week, when we played Leicester City on 1 January 2020. It is safe to say the shambles that followed during the 90 minutes wasn’t a surprise. It certainly shouldn’t have been to Steve Bruce. That day we lost four players to injury and Bruce commented “You get injuries by forcing players to play tired. That’s not an excuse, it’s a fact. I was concerned before the match, I made that clear.” Well I’ve had my say on Bruce’s record with injuries so I won’t go over old ground other than to bring up old quotes from Bruce…. “I messed up. I played players that weren’t match fit or where only half fit” “The one thing you can’t do in the Premier League is play lads who are below their best” – Steve Bruce (2009, Wigan) There are more, as I’ve highlighted in the past, but like I’ve said, that’s old, well worn ground. We know he can’t handle injury and fitness issues, squad rotation and man management problems. I have come across a more pertinent issue with what we’re seeing going wrong with this team. We all know this team can’t pass to save it’s life and the possession stats are truly shocking. This should be a cause for concern and an area the manager should be focusing on as a matter of supreme urgency. Or at least you would think so. But I’ve got some more alarming quotes that prove this Head Coach and his backroom staff are not focusing on such issues and they haven’t been since the very first moment they walked through the door in August 2019. Take a look at the following: 11/08/2019- Arsenal 0-1 – “What disappointed me was that we gave it away too cheaply.” 17/08/2019- Norwich 1-3– “Difficult and hugely disappointing – the manner of it. With and without the ball. We certainly didn’t do enough and we have to improve. We didn’t do enough with and without the ball. We weren’t good enough. “I’ve got to be ready for the flak which will come my way.” 29/09/19 – Leicester City 0-5 – “We simply didn’t do enough (Comment said three times) “We have to go back to the training ground and do the basics better. It wasn’t anywhere near good enough.” 27/10/2019- Wolves 1-1– “We didn’t do enough when we had the ball. That was the most disappointing thing – the number of times we gave it away cheaply.” 25/11/2019- Aston Villa 0-2 – “We tried hard but we weren’t good enough. We didn’t do enough with or without the ball.” 28/12/19 – Everton 1-2 – “We will dust ourselves down and go again…” 1/1/20 – Leicester 0-3 – “In the first half, I thought we gave the ball away too cheaply.” 16/02/20- Arsenal 0-4– “You make a mistake at this level and you get punished, and we’ve been punished a couple of times.” 1/2/20 – Norwich – 0-0 – “We gave the ball away so cheaply today, which is disappointing. Their chances were mainly through mistakes (by us) which is not like us.” 22/02/20 Crystal Palace 0-1 “The better team won. We have had decent possession, but we gave the ball away too cheaply.” 28/06/20 – Manchester City 0-2 – “You cannot make the type of mistake we did for the penalty. We surrendered the ball a bit too cheaply.” 6/11/20 – Southampton 0-2 – “We gave it away far too cheaply and far too often. We didn’t do enough” 16/12/20 Leeds United 2-5 – “We can’t make those mistakes we’ve made here. The third goal in particular where we gave the ball away cheaply in our own box.” 19/12/20 Fulham 1-1 – “We haven’t done enough today with and without the ball. Unfortunately we gave the ball away too cheaply. We’ve had a difficult week and we’ll dust ourselves down and get ready for Tuesday.” 22/12/20 Brentford 0-1 – “We have to accept what’s coming our way and dust ourselves down. Unfortunately we haven’t played well enough.” 26/12/20 Manchester City 0-2 “Yes we gave it away too cheaply at times.” And those were the ones I could find with the minimum of effort. If we’re keep giving it away “cheaply” from as far back as August 2019 when he arrived and we’re still doing it some 17 months later, there is only one part of the club that must take the blame for that. Isn’t it about time he did something about it? Steve Bruce also keeps saying we “weren’t good enough” and “beaten by the better team”. I think it’s about time a journalist brought this up and took him to task as to not do so is gross negligence on their part. I’ll admit, it’s getting to the point where the criticism of this Head Coach is such an easy task but heck, in the name of self-improvement, the man needs to listen. Bruce bangs on about “progress” and “inching the club forward”… Rubbish, there has been no change since he walked through the door. He mentions the mass Hysteria that goes with any crisis at Newcastle United but this isn’t the first time he’s mentioned such “Hysteria” of course. “It shows you how difficult it is up here. The mass hysteria, I find some of it pathetic, to be honest” – Sunderland manager Steve Bruce, August 26 2011. “Of course here, at a club like ours, it turns into mass hysteria. A couple of bad results and all of a sudden it’s the end of the world again” – Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce, September 25 2017. “We had a bad week, and some of the mass hysteria in my opinion was unjust, unfair and a lot of it was not right in my opinion” – Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce, December 26, 2020. Well I’ll give him one thing, the man likes to repeat himself and like I said at the start, talk is cheap. They also say it’s good to talk. In Bruce’s case, it’s best he finally puts up, or shuts up and clears off…"
  7. Dont you worry, hes thinking about changing the penalty taker, this wont happen again
  8. Im struggling badly now The boss said: “I’m so frustrated and disappointed. “We haven’t started the game again, which is proving to be a real problem for us this season. “I think it’s about the seventh or eighth time we’ve been a goal down in the early stages of a match this season. “We gave ourselves a mountain to climb by going a goal down and by not doing any of the basics well enough in the early stages. “I can understand the frustration at the end of the day because we haven’t won a game again, despite having several opportunities to do so. “Defensively we have to be better, and I’m not just talking about the defenders or the goalkeeper, I’m talking about everyone individually and all of us as a team. “Our defending for the second goal was poor. We’ve let the guy beat us and shoot from the edge of the area under no pressure at all. We must improve on that. “We had a really good defensive record last year, but we also understood that we needed to be better going forward. “Unfortunately we haven’t got the balance right. We can’t accept that we’re going to have to score two or three times in a game to win a match. That can’t happen. “It could have been so different if our penalty goes in but that’s football, and at the moment, it’s tough. “What we can’t argue about though is the fact we’ve won one game in 11. We can’t fluff anything up. We were probably unlucky again, but it’s all about winning a football match and we haven’t done that.”
  9. "#WBA Steve Bruce says he’ll “batten down the hatches and get on with it” but accepts 1 win in 11 games “isn’t good enough”. Also contemplating a change of penalty taker after Karlan Grant’s third miss from the spot. #Baggies" Anyone tries to tell me he wont take the hard decisions can gan ta shite, poor pen taker be distraught now
