Yep. So sick of watching this s***. Only game plan Bruce has ever shown. Drag the other side down to our shitshow of a level. By 60min mark are players will by default drop off again and defend because their all so unfit and nackered. Bruce will throw on a few more strikers, and start hoofing it forward some more last 10mins - and post match laud the effort, how unlucky they were, need to do more in final third, didn't quite fall for us.

Since Hendrick has been at the club I can't mentally picture him even passing a ball or tackling anything. Gone are the days of a Tiote going round kicking anything that moved.

Hes never been anything but s*** Remember watching him live for the first time, it was alarming seeing how bad and uncomfortable PL football could be with their weaker foot.

Not a single player near him, or even standing in the box. May as well have run it to the flag and try and win a corner

Even by our standard, never seen so many players either walking or slowly plodding into shape. AC can understand because he's held together with glue, but Joe is the worst offender. No intensity in anything we do.

Aimless cross in the box, Joe nowhere near it surrounded by 5 with AC loafing around right mid

Back 5 again Playing best midfielder this season out of position, when we actually have fit center backs

West Brom in extra time with Blackpool! Fat Sam has changed his entire starting back four Something tells me he doesn't give a toss if they go through here

Looking forward to watching Hendrick chase around 5 seconds where he should have been. Bet the prick sneaks a goal again.

Dubravka Krafth - Lascelles - Clark - Dummett Hendrick - Longstaff - Hayden ------- Almiron Joe Carroll

VAR shouldn't be allowed in the FA Cup until the Semi Finals. Used at Everton today for example, but if the tie was drawn at Rotherham it wouldn't be in use. Going to be in use tonight with Arsenal/Newcastle, but not Boreham Wood/Millwall despite them being the same standard of fixture. Teams being able to use VAR are gaining an advantage through using a different standard of rules.

Aye, expect he is going for the cups, good on him - but that makes his job even more embarrassing. Replay to beat Rochdale, replay and extra time to beat Oxford, through on pens against Newport, and lost to Brentford

Would prefer Carroll starting tbh. If Bruce is going to play grenade ball up to his strikers, he may as well have the balls to play a forward that can win a header. Obviously he's class, but no point playing Wilson the best of times. Don't play in any way that suits him. Rest him, keep him fit for the league - as without him we're all sorts of fucked.

John Obi Mikel plays for Stoke

Beaten Leeds 4-1, WBA 5-1 and Man U away 3-1 this season. In the same boat as us, realistically aren't pushing for Europe and shouldn't be in a relegation battle. Palace fans will finish this season with many more highs and moments of joy/excitement than we will have in two seasons under Bruce. Don't watch too much of Palace, but I don't recall them ever camping in their own half and playing cancerball like Bruce is doing with us. They were certainly the better side against us, despite us robbing a 2-0 win.

As supporting a team that was going to plod along and try not to be relegated each year Palace wouldn't be too bad. Even with Hodgosaurus in charge, they've always had some entertaining players, especially with Eze now!

Was just thinking their playing much better than we would be, despite having similar stats - 80% something possession and 1 shot on target. Managed to play out from defence, through midfield and score. Something we've been incapable of doing for 18months. Don't even need 5 at the back to play against the top sides. Who'd have thunk it

Daft question, but why is Villa's side so young? Obviously can't play the positive players, but they've got a first team squad . Surely they've enough first team players left to field an XI?

Done nothing for 6 or 7 weeks... makes two or you then Steve.

You're 100% correct. No coincidence it's both Allardyce and Bruce. They have absolutely no regard for anyone's well being whatsoever and are clearly just covering their arses as they always do. If it really mattered to Allardyce so much why on earth would he take a job just a few weeks prior knowing the current circumstances? They both lack integrity and are just looking for the easiest way out, and it's just a convenient ruse. Pathetic stuff. Other clubs have had more first teamers out and affected by it than us. It's possibly affected us more though, that'll be down to the squad being paper thin in quality. Hayden's been back a while now, Lascelles and ASM are back training. If he was that worried, and morally objected to it all he would have addressed it a couple of weeks ago when positives where first coming in. Instead, he used the positive cases as a stalking horse to try and excuse for his continued failings on the pitch, whilst constantly spewing out 'not make excuses' bollocks. He rushed Hayden back in as soon as he could to suit his own end, then came out in post match claiming he's just about made it through the game. He had no moral concern then. Blokes a solid cunt.

Spurs' latest test came back with no positives in their squad. If PL/football stops the players are still going to be going into training though, aren't they? Still living in same 'bubbles' interacting with their wives, kids etc. Basically the same risk of them catching anything is still going to be there. All that's going to essentially change is match days, when currently obviously anyone whose positive isn't allowed anywhere near. Allardyce came out with this nonsense last week. In his point, if he was that worried about Covid at 66 he wouldn't have taken the job, and would be masked up all the time. His interest was obviously the fact WBA are in a tale spin, and stopping football would sort that immediatly. Bruce is only coming out with this as it'll suit his own end if football is cancelled for a bit. More time to get players back fit, and more time on training ground with them, and obviously curtail the fact he can't buy a win atm (LLWWLDLLDL)

Been saying it's morally wrong for football to continue "“Financially it’s right to play on,” Newcastle United’s manager said. “But, morally, for me it’s probably wrong.” “The speed which it hit our club within a week and ripped through everyone was scary,” said Bruce. “It’s difficult to contain and it leaves people sick. Jamaal has been give the go-ahead [to play again] by the doctors so it’s now just about he feels but Allan is going to take time. There’s so many symptoms and problems after the virus it’s been difficult” The bloke's lost it. Come out and say this a couple of weeks ago when it was rife in the club, not further down the line once everyone is back in training, and he's further in the shit with results/performances. All he was spouting out was that he wasn't going to use Covid as an excuse, despite clearly doing so. 'Morally wrong', when the players are getting numerous tests each week and top level medical care; all the while thousands are losing their jobs across the country, and certain sectors are thankful to still be able to work.

What's Christophe Dugarry up to these days?

Man Utd players they want rid of. 100% the Manc w*** hasn’t looked at players at any other club. Add Rojo to that too, seem to be linked with him last few windows. Nobody at Man United will give a fuck about Bruce anymore, but in his mind he’ll be thinking he’s pulling a few strings and doing us all a favour. Everything about the fat arsed mouth breather is a 20 years obsolete.

What does he offer? No assists, no goals, nothing defensive. What's his role in a team? He's not even a good passer or crosser. ay, all the while he's pratting about on social media like a child - puts fans backs up.
