Chelsea and Real Madrid don't mess about with their managers and it doesn't do them any harm. And before someone says the obvious, in monetary terms, we are a Chelsea/Real Madrid of this league. Rolling out excuses and cliches about needing time to gel and build his own team is a load of old bollocks. We should have been walking these league. You may argue the disparity between a top level player in the Premiership or La Liga vs the rest would be much greater a top level Championship player vs the rest , but not to the extent of mediocrity we've shown, surely? SB seems a bit of soft touch to me, we need someone to grab the club via the balls.

Will settle for a 5-0 loss for the lulz

Delusion vs Truth Delusion "We played shit because it was a Derby". Truth "We played shit because we are shit".

Oasis were great weren't they?

Dressing room selfie, really?

Well done Gabby. You can now ride off into the sunset and take SB with you.

Hooof it up to Hogan, great.

He had the engine which was Delph next to him.

Still surprised this has sold out, it doesn't usually. Must be some segregation going on maybe like what happened at theirs which took a few thousand off the capacity?

Jaap Stam and Wanger have walked into the league this season and worked wonders. 9/10 of the top 10 teams are in the top 10 for possession. There has been undeniable and yes, sudden change in the way Championship teams play. Lots more passing teams, foreign managers. Bruce is unlikely to get us top 2. We need more of a banker, not a chancer.

Cant manage a big club. As stated x 100 by myself and others, his dinosaur football isn't going to get us anywhere. Good record but that was before the Championship got flooded with foreign managers who know how to play football. His pedigree of being better than Neil Warnock ain't going to cut it anymore.

Hogan never going to score goals in a Steve Bruce team as pointed out when we bought him....all his goals come through little cute through balls where he has loads of space created.

"A player with the world at his feet" LOL jog on.

It shouldn't be this way but the ref is always going to favour a team who has something to play for rather than a team on the beach. Gets it wrong for them and it could ruin their chances, gets it wrong for us? No problem.

What stands out is our lack of pace. Who is our fastest player? They are all slow as ****. Ageing, overweight journey man for the most part. We did some bloody awful business over the two windows.

For those who have just tuned in, Barcelona are in white.

What if he loses all the remaining game this season? He could get the sack then, we may still get lucky here. Some tough fixtures after tomorrows beating.

I think we should continue with the hugely successful recruitment policy of buying players with Championship experience. This was extremely shortsighted. When we sack Bruce we need to sack off this idiotic policy as well.

Hey guys don't forget, we win ugly....oh? We lost? At home? Guess we lose is ugly as well. But don't forget, Bruce is the man to get us promoted because the pundits say so.

Its good to see our ugly, but winning brand football is paying dividends again.

Yes, lets hope next season we have a season like Palace and not like Arsenal. . Knee-jerk extremism at its worst.

28% possession explains why they are in a relegation battle and despite the "disaster" at Arsenal they are top 6... .....meanwhile we are a midtable Championship who have found our level under Bruce.

Sack this chancer than put him on trial for crimes against football! We are Aston Villa, we are better than Steve **** Bruce. Every match under his reign we've played absolutely shite. 7/8 wins what about the 7/8 losses before that?? The most consistent theme throughout these matches is despite spending a shite loads of money we play the most awful, unconvincing football. With Bruce, where we finish this season will be about the same next season. It would be foolish to think we are good enough to go for automatic promotion based on what we've so far under him.

How much do that Hourihane cost again? **** me he's CRAP !!
