Norwich did play well but Sunderland were equally ****. Nothing to offer going forward and no ball retention ability whatsoever. Bruce is so negative it is a wonder how they ever score a goal.

Oh yeah, defo. A very impressive performance, no arguments there.Originally posted by Plough Boy View Post
I think Steve Bruce would take Norwich in the right direction, he clearly gets the best out of his players, and his star players never, ever walk out after a year of Brucey management. Go on, admit it, you'd love to see Old Cushion Face back with the Canary crest on his big fat tit.Comment

No Bruce rants today, I just can't be arsed.
No, today the focus of my football ire is Suarez. This won't go down well with Liverpool fans, but never mind. I've got nothing against them, or most of their players; their team just happen to employ a loathesome twat. I'll start by saying that he's a superb football player. I simply can't stand the little puke. He's a poster child for things I hate in the modern game. He by no means is the only player - British or foreign - who exhibits one, some, or all of the traits that I hate. He just also happens to have a whiny, twisty annoying face that I want to slap. His entire demeanour makes those traits get right on my tits, more than most. So yeah, it's all down to Suarez the Person that I hate the negative traits of Suarez the Footballer more than many other exponents of referee-hassling, card-waving, injury-feigning pussy creepo ****e.Comment

He is a stroppy little ****e on the pitch. I can't see him staying at Liverpool if the success doesn't roll in the next 18 months.
Standard of officiating yesterday was also disgusting in places.Comment

I wonder how the Premier League and Sky will get out of the pickle they are in with the ECJ ruling on the selling of broadcasting rights on a nation to nation basis.
A European wide licence auction would make sense, which Sky would easily win (you'd think). European rights only make up 10% of the broadcasting rights cash the League gets so its not a massive blow if they have to swallow that kind of loss.
Either way pubs still wont be able to show foreign broadcasts due to the copyright issue the judgement highlighted but individuals will be immune to such issues. So cheap foreign boxes for all of us

Niall Quinn has stepped down as Chairman, and assumed some random bollocks role.
Pushed, more like, by the owner who has taken on his role.
I'll speculate that Short thought Quinn to be too popular to be wholly ditched, so moved him aside, and will get rid later down the line. Why this change? Clearly, Short is unimpressed with something. I hope that something is Quinn's managerial appointment.
With nothing but circumstantial assumption, I think what's happened is this: Short is sick of Bruce, and plans to get rid. Quinn, though, won't entertain it for whatever reason. So, Short moves him aside to do the job officially as chairman.
Trouble is, deep down I suspect this to be wrong, and Brucey will be at the helm until at least another squad rebuild next year.Comment

I take it all back - there's an even bigger twat at Liverpool that Suarez.
Step forward Ian 'Pubic' Ayre, a number crunching objectionable gob****e that wants the foreign tv rights for the Premier League to be handled by the clubs themselves, like the Spanish do. This would ensure that the biggest clubs secure a stranglehold on the vast majority of tv deals and cut a vital source of revenue for every other poor sap of a team. The rich clubs will get more bloated (or 'competitive', as arse-face calls it) and be able to keep up with the hyper-bucks Foreign Joneses, at the expense of everyone else. The competitiveness of the Premier League will be screwed, reduced even further beyond its paltry current level.
Seriously, these tosspot suits in the game just can't wait to see a Euro super league of mega clubs playing each other every week, raking in the big bucks, instead of having to slum it in a domestic competition. They would just love to see football killed off in favour of everyone in the country supporting one of five or six teams, while the money men sit on each other's cocks humping on big piles of cash.Comment

Agree with most of that, especially the bit where you referred to him as "arse-face."
To be fair to the tosspot suits, I haven't seen any of 'em come out and agree with Ayre.Comment

They must be in hiding after most of the sensible ones told him to do one.
Like the privatisation of the NHS, though, it's only a matter of time before its ugly head is raised again and again by greedy basts, until eventually it might happen. The first arguments will be based around something largely unrelated, like the current Spanish national team supremacy.
This heinous fiend must keep getting shot down by the big men and the little internet ranter.Comment

An ongoing record.
If we get beat today, it will be 'the Arsenal backlash', or 'the international break', or 'Arsenal for not letting us play Bendtner'.Comment

Tactical masterstroke from Bruce. Arsenal's defence is abysmal, and looked iffy under the slightest bit of pressure. So Magboss starts with no centre forwards.
After said-defence buckle at the end of the first half, and look vulnerable, there's no change from Brucie, who surely realises that Arsenal can concede goals? No, seemingly not.
One of our only good players eventually gets sacrificed for a striker. Who gets placed on the ... left wing. ????
Our vital link up player, and best player, Sessegnon, then gets taken off for a striker, the wet-around-the-ears Wickham, who desperately needs an experienced head alongside him. He is up on his own for the handful of minutes he is on.
Clueless, negative ****e from football's fattest manager. Truly embarrassing park-the-bus rubbish against the worst Arsenal team for ages. I'm not saying we should have won, but fookin hell, we barely tried, with a lamentable effort at getting forward from an uninventive, slow midfield, and when forwards were eventually put on, they were used badly, and vital better players were taken off.
One win in 9 now, Bruce? Must be all those unrealistic expectations. How dare fans expect wins, or at least decent performances, at home against Newcastle and WBA? How dare they expect half-decent competitive performances against Norwich, Swansea and Brighton? Nice one.Comment

I just found out that a week Monday John Terry is opening a reptile shop literally thirty seconds walk from my house.

Rubbish idea. Wouldn't this just result in stagnation in the bottom half of the league? 2/3 of clubs in the Premier League know they have no chance of getting into the Champions League, so they play to stay in the middle of the table and not get relegated. Take this away, and these clubs have no incentive to play whatsoever.Comment

Agreed, awful idea. Nearly every new idea that comes out in relation to football these days seem to have the aim of sucking out whatever last remnants of uniqueness, tradition and romance the sport still has, in the pursuit of ???.Originally posted by Shakey_Jake33 View Post
The disheartening thing is that these types of ideas are coming up more and more often, it feels like an inevitability that some of them are going to start being implemented.Comment
