Captain Steak Bakes (now managing Blackpool/revising history)

If you watched that clip in reverse I bet it would look like evolution in action. Some creature coming out of the sea, scraping along on its arse then learning to stand and finally walk. Then I realised that's ridiculous, a silly thing to think and post as how could it be considered evolution if the end product is Bruce.

Oh is see West Brom are currently on a training camp in Portugal, weird that, given Steve has a villa in that neck of the wood, just a coincidence I imagine.

No that can't be true [emoji38]

He's fucking shameless man. Just wants to do fuck all for the maximum time possible.

Speaking of sports scientists, there's a report that West Brom have appointed a new medical director.


https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/west-brom-arsenal-confirm-signing-24400492

 

This one had previously worked with Bruce at Sheff Wednesday (the club he abandoned), you see, and they are keen to avoid an injury crisis at West Brom, so that's great news.

 

Farbeit for me to suggest it's simply another old pal that Brucey turns to rather than having any new ideas or doing any work at all.

 

But anyway, I wonder what the injury situation was like at Sheff Wed, because it must have been much better.

Well, oh no! Incredible bad luck seemed to have struck him again! 

 

Here's Steve Bruce on his injury crisis at Shef Wed;

 

"I’m sure most of the supporters are absolutely fed up to the back teeth and think ‘why’. Are we just unlucky or is there something underneath it all?

When you see the problems the club have had, it is really obscene."

 

Well, I can think of one obscene problem the club had who was underneath it all.

 

But surely the unluckiest man in football couldn't be partly to blame by rushing players back or some other stupidity? 

 

Well, here he is on that exact same day talking about Adam Reach not being fit.

 

"Adam hurt his knee last week. He did well to go out and play on it. Typical Reachy.

 

“He wanted to go and play on it but he was not himself and we could see that but at least he wants to play.”

 

Yes, good old Reachy.

 

Everyone's mate, this manager, with his clever nicknames.

 

But it's Reachy's fault really, since he asked to go out and play. But it's somehow also a good thing that he did, so he could be sent out to play when unfit! 

 

Silly old Reachy! How unlucky Bruce is!

See they lost to Stevenage in a game today, I know it doesn't mean much given its pre-season, but it's still funny as fuck :lol:

 

If you keep losing fans don't expect as much

It doesn’t matter at most clubs, it matters when he’s manager though because it’s a sign of things to come

Aye. We played plenty competitive games against sides from lower divisions and he made a complete meal of nearly all of them.

 

Rochdale (League 1) - 1-1 draw away, took replay and near enough first XI to win 4-1

 

Oxford (League 1) - 0-0 draw at home, pissed away 2-0 lead in replay to force extra time & bailed out by late ASM wondergoal

 

WBA (Championship) - 3-0 lead but hanging on in the dying seconds to avoid an equaliser

 

Blackburn (Championship) - Created one chance in 90 mins which we scored, heavily outplayed by their second string (he even admitted as much afterwards) and reliant on Mark bloody Gillespie to keep us in the game

 

Morecambe (League 2) - won 7-0, they had a red card after half an hour - the only one he didn't make a pig's ear of

 

Newport County (League 2) - trailed for 80 mins, late equaliser and had to rely on pens to get past them

 

Also in three pre-seasons he managed to oversee defeats to Preston (Ch), Stoke (Ch), Middlesbrough (Ch - 5-1) and York City (Conf. North), all with more-or-less first choice teams.

Me too. As long as they beat the makems before his inevitable early winter sacking.

 

You know, I think I might prefer it if Sunderland beat them. That's a measure of the hatred for Bruce I have.

Watching West Brom this coming season is going to bring back memories of when Pardew went to Palace and I was praying they lost every game. 

Christ, I forgot all about that.  Especially at the beginning, with the continuous smug shite-filled opinion pieces in the football press (incl the Grauniad - it wasn't limited to the red-top 'PFM' world) about how 'Pards' was mistreated by our support, and how wonderful a job he was doing - all the while with us saying 'give him time, he always has a little run of form before imploding'.  The fact he went from 'super duper manager wot those thick Jawdees done wrong' to deservedly sacked within roughly 18 months was wonderfully sweet.  Though nothing will top the smug twat's Cup Final celebration before Man Utd stole it.  Along with the '95 Cup Final, that's the only time I wanted Man Utd to win a final (and '95 was only because we'd have qualified for Europe)

He’s going to take them close to relegation isn’t he?


He won’t be given that long.. be gone by end of November at the latest.. it’s exactly what he wants. Man is an absolute charlatan, all he sees is his next severance package to add his his retirement nest egg. He’ll take as many of them as he can get.

What was the final score?

 

I bet, if they ain't getting any signings in, he'll use that excuse when he gets sacked near Christmas time and say he wanted the January transfer window to change his side's fortune.
