Loved that Ritchie didn't give a fuck what Bruce was saying.

 

Any good lip readers out there? What was the walrus trying to say from 0:06 onwards? To me, it was like 'muh muh muh muh'.

You can make out Graeme saying 5-4-1 so does he have the say on formation?

None of us have seen ASM under a non-Bruce manager though, so he "loves" it under Bruce relative to what, exactly? 

 

And why the fuck would he worry about being dropped? All he's ever done for us is be a good, productive footballer. Oh but he took an 80 minute flight to France a couple of times. Fucking weirdos. 

 

He's an excellent footballer and could be stream-lined into a near-world class one under a good manager. You're a creep if you think there's an "issue" with him.

re Bruce when he was with us in the Championship.

 

He had us floundering absolutely nowhere, was replaced by a rookie manager with 1/20th of the managerial experience he had, who, using the same players, put together a run of 10 wins in a row and got us, from nowhere, promoted.

 

Binning Bruce was the absolute best thing we did, and it's blatantly clear to any Villa fan watching what he's doing with you now, that the situation around the manager (you obviously have the owner problem too) is exactly the same.

 

He's stinking the place out and hanging around for a pay off.

 

So depressing.

Wahey, he's got his tongue out of bacon face's arse long enough to come back and post shite.

I'd like to see what preceded that conversation personally; far be it from me to defend Bruce but they did mention that Jones had been up in the stands and came down specifically as we were getting ripped to bits.

 

Now for me if he's waltzed past Bruce like he's not there then held that conversation then yeah it's hilarious and there's a huge problem but if he came down and briefly explained to Bruce what he'd seen then held that conversation I think Bruce is being a bit hard done by for once.  He was up in the stands for a reason presumably, and then came and executed a tactical change very well.

 

Unless he completely cut Bruce out of things or did it all unilaterally I don't see a problem, you could hardly expect him to explain everything to Bruce and then Bruce go and explain to the player it'd be fucking daft.

I think it’s the fact he’s clearly talking over Bruce in the clip and Ritchie is clearly only listening to one man.

 

I agree there is potentially more to it, but it certainly undermines Bruce.

We need to be rooting for a Watford win then. Let's hope the players who count down tools as well. 

 

I thought that a defeat at Watford would put Bruce closer to the edge than Leeds as the cunts who run the club, thick bell ends in the media and our fanbase would've seen Leeds as a decent side even though they've yet to win a match this season. A meek 2-0 defeat to a club who probably people expect to struggle this season in front of usually more vocal and vociferous away fans may push him closer to the edge tbh. Wolves after that too, away, I'd take us losing these games if it meant he fucked off. Gives the people running the club the international break to find a replacement. ( :lol: )
