The key is, when other managers are criticised, they have a go at the journalists...the mental thing with Bruce is that when he's critiised, he has a go at us!!!!

It's mental that, when you think about it.
My question though is why?What have we done to court such negative vibes ? Surely,the accusation that we are 'deluded' is well past its sell by date.It seems as if there is a conspiracy behind all of this to keep us under lock & key.When I see Bruce being interviewed, time & time again the interviewer takes the soft option. Presumably they are under some kind of contractual restraint.If I was in front of him it would go something like...... What does Joelinton bring to the team ? Why are your statistics as a manager in the PL at the bottom of the pile etc etc etc...... & finish up with .... Why don't you do one ?
