The lovefest on the beeb generally and livetext right now is nauseating.

Its brilliant 

Its what we know that he's all about, so do Liverpool fans, they've been absolute dogshit for 75% of a season, got dragged to the brink of a relegation battle only to somehow pull themselves clear of it with a good month... Meaning that everything is rosy, it always has been and the fans should stop moaning... Get him that 8 year contract Mike 

What we going for tonight, 24% possession and 2 shots on target? 

Edit - saw on twitter its 2 wins in 20 games, MOTM fans should give him a fair chance 😂😂

Would love to see the list of journalists that have had it out for him since he specifically joined Newcastle. All the ones I've seen interview him and talk about him were almost as brown-nosing as Alex himself.

He's on about Craig Hope who got banned recently I think and has been constantly leaking stuff from the players he knows up there (that Matt Ritchie bust up a few weeks back).

He deserves it tbh, some really good results in last 6 weeks v most of top half.

You literally can't make it up, his chippy will be celebrating tonight, full buffet banquet kebab spectacular. What a guy.

In fairness I am a bit happy as was some Leeds fans on here boasting how Bielsa had it wrapped up and Villa fans would be jealous.

Smith won it earlier in the season ;)

I wonder what the comparison is between wins/goals for Newcastle with Saint-Maximin and Wilson and without them.

Probably not too dissimilar to us without Grealish, I imagine.

For a defensive specialist his Newcastle side sure ships a lot of goals.

62 in 36 games. Only West Brom are worse. Could change of course when this round is finished.

They score a good amount thou for a relegation candidate.

That's part of what steve Bruce is, he's a defensive manager but his sides can't defend, he can't organise a defense so he sits deep and plays unadventurous, it's never occurred to him that having a better midfield and holding the ball for longer than 4 seconds at a time would make his team face less attacks

Southgate is exactly the same

Never seen a manager on the sidelines as much as Bruce screaming at his back four to push up and get out. I don't think it has ever occurred to him they might be poorly coached as an entire unit.

You are having a laugh aren’t you, they have been schooled in putting their boots, on rolling up their sleeves and giving it a right good to go. What more could you ask for? 
 

You and your peers never excepted him either because he used to manage the Blues, He’s a great manager Dad is, no I mean Steve

I wonder when the VT/Bruce obsession ends.


Cant believe people can be so bitter, still after 2+ years without him being here but hey ho.

When he retires and English football finally moves on from his ilk

I'm just glad we have this thread so people who want to can lay out their obsessions here without it spilling over too much into the main Villa threads.

(Why am I posting in this thread, you may ask? I just came into Other Football to see if anyone was talking about the FA Cup final - nobody is it seems, but I noticed the SB thread had reached page 2528 so I couldn't resist having a look. 😂)

Rafa - 2 seasons- 89 points 

Bruce - 2 seasons - 83 points (2 games to go)

He hasn't been awful has he?
