TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 That BBC article is a bit snide actually The excerpt of the level of financial investment Everton and Villa have enjoyed in recent seasons, is used to almost invalidate any ambitions of challenging teams in that bracket Also it’s incredible to me how Bruce genuinely seems to be banking on some kind of collective amnesia with his quotes on Villa. He left them 14th in the Championship, with one of, if not the most expensively assembled squad in the league’s history Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishops Finger Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Looks like we should just accept we'll be struggling in the bottom 6 every season from now on as we can't compete with any other club in the league financially, what a time to be a Toon fan eh!

nufc4eva Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Really better to just be relegated under these fuckers. For a manager to come out and say this is your lot, not my remit to improve or get the best out of this club is horrific. Lose a few more games and pressure will get to much for the fat cunt and that's without fans in the stadium. He could at least say he has a plan to bring young players through or develop a style of football or tactics or anything but he's just essentially saying he needs to put a team out that can scrape to 17th year after year. He says he's a fan which is utter bollocks because a fan would be in touch with the club and fan's whereas he just spouts shit. Anyone thinking of going back when crowds are allowed deserve everything they get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Shaking his head as if the notion of existing just to exist isn't something to be reasonably challenged. GOD HE'S A FUCKING DICKHEAD. Absolute perfection for this club, hope he's squirming and crumpling his face in pressers for a good while yet. Detests the pressure cos he knows he's a fucking no one and whatever heat he gets is entirely justified. He knows he's a bag of shite and can't stand it.

midds Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Fucking diddums. Getting all indignant that even the morons in the press are actually questioning his dogshit management, results and performances. Like, "we're 14th and I only need to be 17th, what's their fucking problem? I've got a 7 point gap from catastrophic failure, I'm doing more than average, what's the issue with these people??" The screw is turning though and he's already cracking. A good old spanking tomorrow night will amplify it a bit more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Then again - being unbelievably kind and giving him every last crumb of the benefit of doubt - is there a chance he's being arsey because he's having to toe the party line? Ie Ashley's told him to spin this nauseating, insincere shite and he's miffed about it? So nowt to do with Ryder? Even if it is that, fuck him.

You could throw the same accusation at every other manager since Pardew, of course. But you could choose not to comply; though that would require a shred of sincerity and dignity. Still, it probably is some weird beef with Ryder and he probably does think we're playing at our maximum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Dropped 3 places in the last few days, now only 2 points ahead of Burnley, and should Fulham win tomorrow (A big if admittedly as they're playing Spurs) only 5 points ahead of the drop zone. Get spanked by Liverpool and the pressure us really starting to mount onto turd face. Other then Sheff United we have a really bad run in the next 7 too.
