Which is partly my point, especially if you're setting up to play a defensive formation with 1 centre back and 4 right backs at your disposal. The owners have fcuked up but Bruce is hardly blameless. I don't believe the imbalance in the squad is down to the owners dictating who they recruit or the n...

At the same time, Bruce brought in 5 loanees, 4 of which were attackers, whilst letting one of only 2 centre backs go out on loan. How do you know he let anyone go out on loan? I doubt very much if he had any say in the outgoings due to their financial issues. If that's true then why bring in 3 att...

Are you seriously denying that they have the most dangerous attack in the Championship? At the moment, yes I would and it is because of the way they have been playing. Hogan - 7 goals in 50 games for Villa. Kodjia - 4 goals in his last 30 appearances. They are heavily reliant on loanees and meanwhi...

So it's the forwards' fault for not scoring enough goals to compensate for having no defence? It is of such a high quality that it should negate a lot of their defensive woes yes, especially at Championship level . Perhaps Bruce was being too cautious leaving his defence exposed unnecessarily. Were...

Villa had a penalty saved in the 97th minute. If the penalty taker had placed it just 6 inches further to the side so it wasn't saved Villa would have got the win and been level on points with 6th place. I wonder if Villa fans would have been so angry and Bruce would have been sacked if that small ...

Thought he was an over-rated show pony with no end product when we were initially linked with him and was gobsmacked that we paid more than £1.5m for him.

Now I think he's an over-rated carthorse and would gladly sell him for a pack if pork scratchings.

What slightly concerns me is that this time last season, Stam did the same in the first half of last season. We'd string a couple of decent performances together with an unchanged side and then he'd tinker and we'd go back to being shit again.

Ye but he was the worst player ever to play for the club. That 'display' at Cardiff on the last day was truly unforgettable. John Halls? Greg Halford? Emerse Fae? Scott Murray? Mass Sarr? ROYSTON DRENTHE!!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: WTF is Scott Murray doing on that list? He was quality, Parde...

RomanUselt Anyway, I just wanted to wish you well for the game on Tuesday, but obviously want the real hoops to win.

Ha ha, I see what you did there, which I certainly can't say to any player in the 6yd box from the top tier of the School End.

I don't think they're choking as such, more that their style of play revolves around 2 players and both have been unavailable for the past month. They have no depth and the way Bielsa teams play, they will blow up when key players are not playing. It's no different to Mourinho always blowing up in t...

Leeds are looking very decent against Derby, dominating, looking like they're playing for fun. Currently 3-1 up and could be more It may be their season? Or will they fall apart again in December? Well, all it took was injury and suspension for Hernández and Roofe and they go from untouchable to dr...

I genuinely thought JM would be the right manager for Utd but it's turning into a shambles The worse thing is how boring and shite the football is. Can't really rem Utd getting behind teams since Fergie I really don't know why you thought that. He's only doing what he did at Inter, Real Madrid and ...

10539.4 Miles Away Bloody great to see the team spirit here. Hallelujah!

That all people really ask for, a bit of fight, a bit of team spirit and the performances naturally follow.

13 years ago surely?

What's the worst that can happen, well, apart from the outbreak of civil war?

It's the inevitable fall out from the clashing of two uncontrollably monstrous egos.

Just seen a clip of Pogba arriving to training and greeting everyone, goes to Mourinho who completely dismisses him. I think Mourinho is just a bog standard bully, no more. He is out of touch with the modern player and players like Pogba who come over as very casual infuriate him. He hasn't got the...

Whether Pogba is being a cock or not, Mourinho has done this at every club he has managed.
