Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 “They are deluded! He’s done well this season!” - annoying bald MK Dons fan. It’s intolerable Fucking Barry Brexit with an obnoxious opinion on everything and an actual clue about nothing. Country's crawling with these unbearable wankers. This should be England's official motto. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 18 points from 13 games makes him safe, a point a game is all he needs He's in trouble then. Exactly my thoughts. Bizarrely some on here think we are already safe from relegation. I think it's based on that they presume even more bizarrely that 30 points is enough. Falling ino the trap of assuming because we've somehow managed to get a certain amount of points throughout Bruce's reign a lot of which were totally undeserved that that will continue. We will continue to play abysmal football. If Bruce continues to be lucky despite that we'll be okay. If logic kicks in and we get what we deserve from games were far from safe.

BlueStar Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Vicious circle, pundits don't watch our games because we're terrible to watch, so they give their opinion without knowing just how terrible we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Although he isn't under any pressure obviously and still plenty of his mates backing him, I do feel the tide is turning a bit with people realising just how terrible we are especially after last night Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 For all the pressure and critiquing of Bruce atm, which is of course good to see, there's a disappointing lack of pointing out his personality flaws and his role as an Ashley enabler. But will take what we can get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"He will be guided by managing director Lee Charnley, close aide Justin Barnes and PR guru Keith Bishop, but until recently, the club's muted board members felt that Bruce was more than capable of leading the club to a mid-table finish." "The other big factor in Bruce's favour is that Ashley likes the Toon boss as a person, and with his restricted transfer kitty going unquestioned, unlike the days of Benitez when everything turned into a political shoot-out, the United manager is reading from the same hymn sheet as the owner. "It is unlikely that Bruce will ever push too hard on the door when it comes to transfer funds because he knows he is doing his dream job and his profile as a Premier League boss is still intact after a few years in the Championship."

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 If he can keep above a point per game, he’ll be OK with Ashley. If it dips significantly below it’ll be interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 He could very well be screwed more by the fixtures. We will lose the next three, Arsenal will dump us out of the FA Cup which will cause more upset and media turning the knife. Yes most pundits will remain onside but the papers are already digging and those like Shearer and Linekar will speak honestly as they have. Game against Sheffield United will be huge.

These pundits will never turn on Bruce no matter how bad it gets. Compared to Bruce, Pardew was a good manager Pardew - 185 games, 38.41% win ratio Bruce - 62 games, 33.9% Neither compare to Rafa - 146 games, 42.5% win ratio The pundits can fuck right off.
