[Archived] Steve Bruce

[Presty On Tour]

dunn and forsell were expensive too and have been injured most of this season.

28.2 million down. just think how hard it will hit them when they go down.

The BIG CLUB big pantomime rumbles on. Of course Bruce has to criticise Sullivan in public.

[Exiled_Rover]

1-0 down to United already

[bellamy11]

1-0 already!!! Bruce doesnt look too happy!

[roversmum]

Bruce must have some kind of bottle! I'd be too ashamed of my shambles of a team to be there! Oh dear, another free kick in a dodgy position - luckily saved by keeper!

edit: luckily for Bruce that is! A shedload of goals against Brum will do nicely for me!

You're old enough to remember Philip............. does Sullivan look more like Jimmy Clitheroe of that little one in the Krankies? It's bugging me.

2-0, Giggs again

He's a cross between both of them.

A right tubbing for Brum should set the Baggies up nicely to make a right nuisance of themselves at Spurs. I don't expect anything but a Spurs win but the Baggies have a decent track record at WHL.

3-0, Rooney, an absolute stroll (*besides that goalmouth scramble right there )

[Grabbi Graeme]

3-0 now

[Exiled_Rover]

Operation Red Code is cancelled, incase you weren't sure

Big City have to be down now, they're absolutely @#/?.

Birmingham did have a fair bit of the ball in the second half but saying that Manure were already two-nil up at that point and just strolling.

Pennant looked like he had an ok game considering who he were playing with and the opposition. Has to be better than Emerton if JP can get his off the field matters sorted out.

As for SB, he's had a bad old month ain't he, lol.

My guess is that it is already too late for anyone to sort Pennant's off-field troubles out. He must be well on the way to being a confirmed alcoholic now.

Why? Does he drink all day or is he just a p1ss head Fife? Whatever he is probably a write off which is a sin and a shame with his level of talent.

Maybe like Gazza he should have gone to MU instead of the capital. Fergie (or whoever) certainly seem to have improved Rooney's attitude and although I hate to say it praise is certainly due to the old git.

Speaking of MU I think Brum would have had a serious tonking if a younger Roy Keane had still been there. Complete low life as an individual but as a captain and on field leader he would not have let certain players get away with showboating after 30 mins with the score 2-0. Maybe it's partly why Chelsea have the Prem title.

Soccernet Insider: Man U 3 - 0 Brum

An article mostly about Giggs, but some interesting comments regarding the Big Club and its manager.

At least, [bruce] may reflect, a second successive thrashing was averted though, after Liverpool hammered Birmingham 7-0, it briefly appeared that United might try to emulate them. Bruce's former club were in a more charitable mood, which was perhaps just as well in a week where one poll suggested 48 percent of Blues fans wanted a change at the helm.

So after the heaviest loss of Bruce's career, respectability in defeat may almost appear an achievement. It still means Birmingham's problems mount, however. They remain rooted on 24 points, and it is hard to envisage their stay in the Premiership extending to a fifth season without a rapid improvement.

Indeed, as Birmingham negotiated the first minute successfully, the comment 'at least they haven't conceded yet' was uttered in the press box. It was only true for a further 70 seconds.

It was further proof that Birmingham's offside trap is about as impenetrable as the Maginot Line.

I quite liked the last one.

[philipl]

Steve Bruce moaning again.... Can't BIG CLUB do any of this in-fighting in private?

[Exiled_Rover]

Sounds to me like Brucey is trying to get himself sacked

[Ronin]

Only Chelsea next for them. Hoping they get another tanking

[1864roverite]

Its not even mildly surprising. I can't believe all the calls around here to bring him back.

And all those people who wanted Chris Sutton back - he's been totally absent too.
