I’d love to hear a dream team of Ando and Gary Birtles commentate a match

Whenever I listen to Ando commentate on our games, he never seems to have anything positive to say about them. I was always under the impression that he just didn’t like us, but maybe he’s just negative about everything. 

 

Until October there was absolutely fuck all to be positive about tbh

[Consortium of one]

How does he continue to be hired?

He’s such a thick cunt as well as being a dickhead. If there’s one thing you can be sure of about what people like / dislike it’s double standards, especially when they’re forced upon you

Wants to be sacked, it’s part of the cycle.

POTY ?

That’s great

Completely unsurprising difference in standards from the walking sarnie (via the Mail):

 

Steve Bruce has demanded West Brom players live within an hour’s drive of the training ground and will extend the rule to potential new signings.

The former Newcastle boss was alarmed to discover several members of his squad live a significant distance from the club’s headquarters and wants to change that in time for next season.

He said: ‘I have told them all (they all have to be within an hour of the training ground). People are going to throw it at me and say: "Are you going to relocate from Cheshire?"

"But it doesn’t work with managers. When we sign a contract we usually get sacked. I have put forward what I would like to do next year – that is a rebuild of the squad."

  Amazing how he continues to be the best parody of himself.

I worked at the Chapel Park petrol station in the late 80's and he'd come in and say "ah'll have a foiver please".

Just read that in today's paper, he's excusing himself from his own demands of the players to live closer to the training grounds on account of expecting to get the sack. This guy.

Leading by example as always, Steve

[Bintang]

Can you imagine being a professional athlete working for this bloke .

 

" I'll eat kebabs and Greggs whenever ah feel like it but youz lot need to stick to a strict diet. I'll live 200 miles away but youz need to stay by the training ground. I'll probably be off on me hols while you lads are training so thats why. Anyway, ahm gonna get the sack soon and a nice payoff and you lot can pick up the mess." 

 

Motivational masterclass. 

[ShoTime]

I don't think they'll go down, but I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if they're around the 16-18th place mark during his time there before he's inevitably sacked.

Bruce….’pace and flair’…..”just play”…

[gbandit]

Hopefully Carroll ‘Steven Taylors’ him on his way out 

[Scotty66]

"Bruce feels Carroll dictates the style of play" is absolute classic Bruce. 

 

The players have no fucking idea of what to do and who to pass to so they just lump it high to Carroll. 

 

Very similar to when we just lumped it high to Wilson. 

 

Ironically getting rid of a big target man will make them even worse as then the players will have no outball. 

 

Pace and flair simply means someone who can "do something". 

 

Love it.

Anyone think having Bruce there still

may help us offload some of the shite he signed? You know how he loves his players. 

[Holloway]

Both of them should be in the knackers yard

Wonder who signed Carroll in the first place…also you are the manager, it’s literally your job to dictate the style of play!

 

He wants a BTEC Maxi basically

No. Only similarly minded players as Bruce looking for a skive and effectively having given up on their development would want to work with him again.
