[Archived] Steve Bruce

[AxesFirstTouch]

Good point pippy. Give a choice of Brum failing to win promotion or that Smug prat Alan Pardew getting the hammes relegated I think Brums failure just edges it.

I know "Big Club" get some stick on this mb but today I should like to doff my blue and white cap in the direction of the Second City-huzzah for the Bluenoses!

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Agreed, nice to see the ex Rovers on the winning side against the unspeakables today!

Just read this on the Guardian transfer rumours page (Which is very good by the way):

With West Ham, Newcastle and Chelsea all buzzing around Matthew Upson like flies around a corpse, Birmingham City chairman David Gold has promised manager Steve Bruce that he'll do everything in his power to hold on to the centre-half, no matter how much money is offered. "We will do anything we can to keep him," he yawped barbarically, beating off yet another suitor with one of those giant rubber dildos with which he made his fortune.

Credit where credits due. They have done well in selling off their 'surplus' big wage earners for big money whilst still managing to push hard for promotion.

I loved these two quotes!

* "Compare our attendances this season to Derby, Sunderland or even Norwich, and you have to question whether Birmingham supporters really deserve promotion" - Birmingham co-owner David Sullivan paves the way for the club's lowest attendance of the season in his programme notes for Sunday's game against Stoke.

* "Stephen Clemence has been carrying an injury. What am I supposed to do? Wave a placard saying Clemence has got a knock? I think I deserve a bit more respect than that after what I've done here in 5½ years. The expectations here are quite unbelievable" - Steve Bruce responds, belatedly, to chants of 'You don't know what you're doing' during the match. What a happy club they sound!
