Captain Steak Bakes (now managing Blackpool/revising history)


Recommended Posts

If I'm ever lucky enough to say something as hilarious as " 'how's the bacon' didya say?", even on accident, then I hope I would have the good grace to roll with it when it gets memed :lol:

Wonder if Steve Barnes ran any training sessions. Probably some clues in the book about the real deal. Is he trying to tell everyone that he’s murdered someone?

Reckon its a bit like the concept in Basic Instict. Describing training in his books on the face of it implies he'd deploy it in real life but is also actually an alibi for his career

:lol: you get the impression Brucey would look for an excuse to get himself to hospital if there's free tea and biscuits going afterwards.

Could it really be that I’ve managed more than 1,000 matches? My stubby sausage fingers don’t go that high, and for a moment I thought perhaps I’d never know. But then I remembered! There’s lots of lads in the squad. Surely among us we have enough!

I could manage 1000 games easily if the extent of my work was two days a week at the training ground, drinking bovril and doing nothing, then at the weekend go to the game like any other supporter. Could easily do about 2 or 3 thousand if I have to.

Club didn't suspend a manager accused of murder? Kin ell[emoji38]

 

 

I know it wasn't on his watch but he managed Sunderland who didn't suspend a player accused of molesting a child.

As a former proud owner of the Steve Barnes trilogy, I'd say I'd recommend them.  Problem is, they go for a bastard fortune on ebay these days, which is a shame, and also means I regret the fact that I lent them out to my mates a couple of decades ago and have no idea where they ended up.  I'd have been rich if I'd kept them.

I'm sorry but I'm howling at this :lol:

 

One of the contenders for most illiterate footballer of all time writes a novel, and those quotes are even better than what I could dream up he'd write :lol:

I see that Rory fella everywhere and I still don't get why he's on TalkSport and things like the Overlap. Who is he and what has he done in football? 

 

He's a complete fucking tool. A proper WUM and clickbait merchant. A reet little dweeb who's face you'd never get tired of punching.

 

Had the absolute fucking audacity to post some shit about all bar 3 of squad wouldn't get into any PL side. A cunt, essentially

While nothing will ever beat Taylor Parkes’s review of Tim Lovejoy’s book for WSC, any Steve Bruce book review citing quotes will run it close


There’s a 90s football podcast that has full length reviews of every Bruce book.

The bloke that wrote the review did a podcast with the Upshot too - well worth a listen...
