Not Portuguese!

Nuno > Bruno > Bruco

 

Natural move.

[Asha]

So uninspiring  

 

You want a dynamic exciting man in charge and instead tired old Steve Bruce walks through the door.

Barnsley 0-1 Cardiff

Huddersfield 2-0 Derby

 

 

Cardiff winning puts them increasingly clear of the drop zone. Surely going to be Barnsley, Derby and then either Peterborough or Reading to go, neither of whom can buy a win at the moment.

Tells you all you need to know about the bloke. Managed both Newcastle and Sunderland yet claims to be a Newcastle fan. Managed Villa, Blues and West Brom. Don’t forget both Sheffield Clubs too, the man is shameless. 

Probably just needed a job tbf

Aston Villa, Birmingham, WBA.

 

Only Wolves to go. Only fair he's allowed to complete the set at some point.

He came very close after we sacked Mick McCarthy. Our owner at the time Steve Morgan offered him the job  before changing his mind at the last minute. Mostly due to supporter pressure I think.

I think Derby are gone. Lost a lot of momentum with their last three results. 

[Fox92]

Looks like Alex Bruce is going WBA also.

Lost a lot of players in Jan too. To Rooney's dissatisfaction.

For some reason him looking down the camera has done me 😂

[RowlattsFox]

18 month contract is the weird bit for me. End of season then reassess, I get that but now they probably have to give him next season promoted or not. 

[BenTheFox]

I find it bizarre that Steve Bruce was a commanding centre-half that captained a successful Manchester United side and was very much respected as a player, yet as a manager he absolutely loves playing the victim card and has conducted himself appallingly on several occasions. 

[Corky]

Rob Dorsett had a proper sucking up to Bruce in his press conference. "Didn't you do a great job at Newcastle?", "They are one place better off now, wouldn't you be doing so much better?"

[Wymsey]

Morris has got a point here.

He’s not as the claims aren’t directed at him. They’re at the company he put into admin. Unless I’ve interpreted this wrong?

You're absolutely right. It's a meaningless comment to try and make himself look good.

I’m flabbergasted how Blackburn Rovers are 2nd in the championship, the quality of the league is really poor this season

They have a pretty good team and Mowbray has been there for a while now. Allowing him to build something and having that consistency has probably helped.

I want Blackburn to come up but over the course of the season I cannot see past Fulham and Bournemouth finishing top 2. Outside of those two the league is not as good as previous season's. Still tight though.

 

But on Blackburn, Mowbray has done a superb job considering he took them over during their relegation to League 1. Not spent as much as others either over his time.

Struggled against a poor 10 man Swansea, they didn’t look great, that was my point there 2nd in a poor championship

I think you're doing Blackburn a disservice in general, they've looked great at times this season with a young squad and to be up there above teams with bigger budgets is decent.

I’m going on todays performance 

[Koke]

I also like Blackburn. Rather them than their Lancashire rivals.

Truly the worst commentator to have ever lived and there has been some fierce competition. Even worse than Matterface!
