I remember listening to that and thinking Agbonlahor is the thickest cunt on radio/TV. An uneducated moron who, if he hadn't been a footballer, would be begging for change in The Bullring. An odious, carbuncle of a bloke. Of course he gets a gig with TalkSport. They're mostly fkn dickheads. With Alan Brazil as their king.

Gabby is one of those people that pronounce England as "EnGERland". Always irritates me :lol:

Seems talksport have gone all out today, counted 3 video thumbnails on youtube defending their little buddy. Not that i'll be watching any of them, but it's so obvious what they are doing as it was his entire time here. 

 

Think that's what grates the most, we could all see with our own eyes how awful he was as a manager, as we did before with Pardew. But to be gaslit constantly and be told we're wrong and he's a great guy and "one of the best mangers of all time" or some shite that Arteta came out with after he was so horrifically let go with a £8m pay out while he'd overseen us sat 19th in the Premier League table with just three points and no wins. 

 

Meanwhile we have had Eddie Howe getting called a "gate keeper" and loads of media were questioning his future during that horrific injury crisis last season while he's overseen keeping us up and finishing 11 despite Bruce's awful start in year 1, a cup final and champions league finish in year 2, 7th despite the horrendous injuries and suspensions and 2 decent cup runs in year 3 and a first domestic trophy in 70 years and a chance to qualify CL in year 4.

 

Make it make sense.

Agbonlahor is literally just one of those daft cunts that says controversial stuff on TalkSport to keep people talking about him. They have a character like that on nearly every show on there, the worst being Troy Deeney who is so transparent in his attempts to do it (see his latest waffle on how Salah isn't world-class).

I like how Bruces response just escalated it, meaning Gayles comments are getting more coverage thanks to that.:lol: Let everyone hear what Gayle said, thanks. I'm seeing a shift in the comments from what they usually were like in videos regarding Bruce, when people hear what Gayle was saying, the know that it's not like he would make it all up.

100% convinced he only got the West Brom job on the fumes of the very prevelant narrative that he'd done a great job here and the 'demanding Geordie' narrative.

Absolutely.  It boils my piss far more than it should how he keeps getting hired repeatedly.  I go back to the long list of places he's been a manager and ask myself how many of those fans think fondly of his time in charge of their clubs.  This so called champions of him in the media must ask themselves... is he really as bad as (more and more) folk say he is or him must the unluckiest cunt alive with his job postings.  

 

It's as if I had been married and divorced half a dozen times and folk are saying "oh, he's just unlucky in love"... nawh.. how about I'm just a shite husband (p.s. I'm really not by the way, just ask my wife, she's in the kitchen ;)).

Couldn't get Agbonalahor's club out the championship could he?  Got fired and his replacement managed it at the first time of asking.  And his replacement was/is an absolute nothing of a manager himself.

I've said before the reason for Bruce getting so much slack in the press...

 

Apparently when he was Man U captain he used to throw infamous house parties for his teammates, was always seen as one of the main lads.

 

He's one of those blokes whod instantly offer you a pint so you'd like him. 

 

The generation of pundits we have had recently where almost entirely made up of players from his era who liked "Brucey", one of the lads innit.

 

Whatever a cuntish manager he is, he clearly had the ability to befriend people. He's a social person. That's why we get these outbursts, he can't stand people being critical of him.

"Me, lager. Finchy, Lager. Gareth, lager sometimes cider, so different drinks for different... needs."

We might be where Blackpool are now if it hadn't been for the takeover and Bruce going. 

Tbf it's not beyond possible that we might have stayed up if we just did the latter. Depending on who came in like 😂😂😂

But reluctant Ashley would have not taken action until April

We were going down in 21/22 without Howe & the buyout, deffo


Without a doubt - we were down the season before until Jones arrived and Willock went on that crazy run!

I maintain Eddie would have kept us up without investment, but it would have been tight.

The thing that winds me up the most is how much he never gets called out for being a average or below average manager for most of his career and now well below that standard. 

 

He himself states that he has managed over 1K games but Ive never seen any style of play in that time or how he has improved or developed his style and "brand" (hate that word). 

 

The bloke is made of 100% Teflon.

Agbonlahor is up there with Paul Merson as the thickest pundit around. Both stealing a living.

 

Harsh on Merson, IMO.  

 

I know he sounds dense and can't pronounce players names.  But at times, he actually makes some really valid points and isn't in it purely to annoy people into calling up a premium phone line. 

 

Agbonlahor is the worst out there of the more mainstream lot.  The worst of the worst is that Rory bloke.  Amazed he gets air time.  But probably does for the soundbites and the segments they can clip up to drive debate, based on his shit takes and stupid comments.

You saw in the Wembley Match Cam what the club meant to someone who actually loved it rather than someone who pretended for a paycheck
