    While we’re still in the Premier League he will just heap more misery on the Supporters and keep siphoning the money out of the club running it further into debt.

    If he had of made any improvements to the ground or the training facilities then someone could argue the point that he is putting something back into the club. All he is doing is running it into the ground, Oh he did take all the SD Signs down to clean them though

    Seeing Bruce interviewed after the game, I'm finding it tough to dislike him.

    I said it ages ago but I always liked the way he was honest about his teams' performances if they'd played poorly and today was no different. He looked lost, tbh.

    He's way out of his depth, imo...partly because, in fairness, it's not his squad, in the main but also because I don't think he's up to the task. The rest of the football world are finding out what we already knew-our squad is shit and it was only because we had a manager of the calibre of Rafa Benitez that we kept our heads above water.

    Paddy Power tweeted that the scoreline could have become embarrassing but, given that we replaced Rafael Benitez with Steve Bruce, then maybe embarrassment isn't a thing for us any more.

    sad but true.

    Yup.

    Everything going to plan for Mike.

    Para payments for Frank Spencer to get us back up again.

    SB is a nice man, but I tell you what, the rse has fallen out after today - this result was even worse than I expected, we are in big trouble. No way we would ever lose 5 nil under Rafa but I'm sure the resident village idiot will argue otherwise.

    I had a great day away from the shambles. I would recommend you all try it.

    PS. Ragatino, stay with us. You will need some kind of channel to vent for at least the next 2 seasons.

    😁

    The sending off obviously killed the game off as a contest but that was only because we were never really in a contest after it due to too many players simply looking off colour or not willing to battle.

    There was nothing good to come from that game.
    The sending off just made things more skewed. It killed the game for us in terms of even riding some luck and having a little bit ourselves. We deserved neither.

    We need a massive upsurge in everything for the next match against Man utd.
    It's refreshing to see you actually tell it like it is...I'm sure there will be some good games, the Saint looks like a talent and there are others that can up their game.

    Its not looking good though...there is no reason why it should under Bruce. You can pretend he's got a good record all you like..Fact is that of any manager that has been in charge of more than 250 games in the Prem...only Bryan Robson has a worse record than our current manager.

    And don't go there...given the chance to take charge of that number of games does not mean he deserved them!

    Rinse and repeat I believe the saying goes.

    Given that he replaced Rafa Benitez with Steve Bruce, can you imagine the type of fuckwit he'd replace Steve Bruce with???
