gwi1890 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Reading Funniest Villa quotes ever that the missus got me for my birthday, I swear every Steve Bruce quote involves food in some form or another I was having a bite to eat with my daughter last night and the waiter dropped a pint of blackcurrant and lemonade all over her. She was head to toe in it and I thought ‘the luck is still not going our way’. But I will pour a pint of blackcurrant and lemonade over her next time! I will tip it right over her head – whatever it takes, it’s changed the luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted February 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 19, 2021 Never change, Steve. Bruce to be careful with Dummett: Quote Steve Bruce says he is going to be careful with Paul Dummett as he looks to ease the experienced defender back into the side. The 29-year-old made just his fourth appearance of the season against Southampton earlier this month after suffering from Achilles, thigh and hamstring injuries over the past year.. “We’ll need his experience and know-how," said Bruce. "We’re also mindful of just throwing him in there. Since Southampton he’s trained another week and the more sessions he does the better. He’s there or thereabouts.” Na na na na na na na na na na naa, there or thereabouts, thereabouts, there or thereabouts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 To be fair to him, it seems like a stupid question to me. He's known Solskjaer for years, why wouldn't he have a friendly conversation with him? Just because some fans have some stupid talking point on a forum, doesn't mean that journalists *have to* ask about it. They can exercise some judgement. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can certainly imagine the state of On Topic in that situation, and you're right it wouldn't be pretty, but I don't think that means it's a sensible question to ask at a press conference. There's probably some idiot Leeds fan somewhere or other who is exercised about Bielsa having a friendly word with El Ghazi yesterday as well, but they would be wrong to be worked up about that as well.

Yeah, there's not that much wrong with it really. It's his snappy reaction that I liked. He's probably more harshly judged than he should be by Newcastle fans because he's made them hate watching their own team, just like he did here.

Mark Albrighton Posted February 28, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2021 If I’m honest, I will be sad when he calls it a day as it’s fun watching him have these pissy little battles with the fans and the press. Obviously it wasn’t as much fun when he was at Villa but elsewhere and particularly at Newcastle, he’s box office entertainment when it’s going badly and when it (briefly) goes well it’s equally fun as it winds up his detractors no end.

Popular Post Mark Albrighton Posted March 5, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2021 Did people see this insightful comment the other week? Quote “I’ve always said that it’s your accumulation of points that determines what you get at the end of the season,” said Bruce. “No matter what anyone else does, you’ve got to set yourself a target of whatever that points tally may be.” New way of understanding the game If I’ve followed this correctly (and it is quite advanced so I may have got something wrong), it sounds like the points that a club gains from a given match, they’re actually added together and presumably tabulated in some way? And this “accumulation of points” determines how successful a team has performed across a season. Has anyone else noticed this trend? Do clubs find themselves in a better position if they’ve accumulated more points than their rivals? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
