A lot of old timers and radgies have packed in long before now. What you have left now are customers in the main - just happy to tell their pals they go to PL matches. They will disappear sharp in the championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likes who post photos on FB in full kit wanker mode, then a pic of the pitch just before KO and with a half-time 6 quid warm plastic beaker of piss on some wooden bench inside the ground a dead pigeon wouldn’t even be seen dead on. And then when we don’t win they will go on FB and slag the owner, the players, the manager, the atmosphere…. Fuck them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just never does anything. I will never understand this sentiment, the notion that “actually they’re not good players.” Good players will never play to the best of their abilities if they’re led by a terrible manager and playing in a dysfunctional side. We do have players of genuine quality in our squad who are being criminally misused. Look no further than what Rafa is doing at Everton, getting career-best performances out of Gray, Townsend, Allan, etc. Not one of those players would look good playing for us under Steve Bruce.

Superior Acuña Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 My dad still goes. He's semi-retired and it's main way he sees his mates, and it's a habit of>30 years. He's stopped bothering with away matches, and he boycotted when there was an organized boycott for that Arsenal match. He's half talked about packing it in - he sees the pointlessness - but I don't see him going through with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) Almiron has gone from being a number 10 with a bit of flair to now a hard-working defensive winger on the wrong side And there's only one person to blame for that Edited October 2, 2021 by joeyt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will do better when we have a real manager using him right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t see the fuss about him. Even under Rafa he had more quiet games than good games. His main contribution is he runs around plenty. But if that running doesn’t offer anything then it’s all a bit pointless. Just don’t think he is as good as he is built up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His main contribution is he runs around plenty. But if that running doesn’t offer anything then it’s all a bit pointless. Just don’t think he is as good as he is built up. He's had his best games for us in his actual position: in the middle behind the striker. Under Benitez he tended to be on the left of the attacking 3 in a 3-4-3, Bruce has played him for the majority of his tenure on either flank, and this season in centre midfield. In his position is also where is output is greatest: WBA away FA Cup in 19-20, scores a brace, plays a key part in our third goal, gets taken off by Bruce, we fall to bits. The run of games after the restart; Sheff Utd, Bournemouth, West Ham; scored and/or assisted in those games. Southampton at home last season, scores a brace. But then never gets played there again. Utilised correctly he is a very useful player at this level. Bruce never will have the mental capacity to do so, Benitez played him in a role that suited the side we had at the time but we didn't get to see him at his best because of that role.

Pardew gave us some terrible times, but at least at times he had some idea what was going on. These three Bruce years in charge have served up the worse football I have seen. You can count on one hand how many good performances there have been and that’s me trying to make a positive statement - we are just utter shit and it’s infuriating Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I really dislike the Pardew revisionism fuelled by the Bruce misery. He didn't have a fucking clue what he was doing half the time. He perhaps had a morsel more of a tactical brain but he was making terrible decisions every single week. They're two peas in a pod, for me, but as I've said a bunch of times on here - we wouldn't even have Bruce if it weren't for Pardew and his legacy.
