Maybe I’m being unfair

this is from the Athletic this week


The Frenchman did not feature in the matchday squad at Southampton on Saturday, with fans worrying about his continued absence and where that may lead.

He has just moved into a new apartment in Manchester, so that should allay some fears, although his reaction to dropping out of the team has not done him too many favours with Guardiola.

City clarified that he missed out on Saturday because he’s not fully fit, which plenty of supporters didn’t believe, but it must be said that there have been plenty of times in the past few years when players have been dropped for non-footballing reasons and the club haven’t been moved to comment, so the official verdict shouldn’t be taken as suspicious.

There's an Orc wailing about Rafa winning something at other clubs, over on the BBC Sport comments....

To all the pundits or fans of other clubs who claim Bruce is better than Rafa you need to realise how stupid that statement is. People can see what Rafa achieved with Valencia, Liverpool..even Inter Milan, Chelsea & Napoli..& it's obvious he likes to build teams to win honours.
No one remembers a Steve Bruce side that won anything or played classy football because there's never been one.

Nevertheless, Bruce's record at Newcastle's is as good as Benitez, if not better

That'll be Napoli who he took from 2nd to 5th after spending more than £100 million and immediately became title challengers once Sarri replaced Benitez with virtually the same squad.

Only manager who got them relegated on that list is Rafa. Bruce comfortably kept them up last season and will this season as well.

“the French immigrant, has not endeared himself to Guardiola with his reaction to being dropped or for blockading his citrus fruit. Which causes cancer. But Diana (RIP) loved”

It's mental. They're all better clubs than any Bruce has been at. The only club that's comparable that Benitez and Bruce have managed is Newcastle - as they've both managed it. Benitez took them down then back up and to a worse finish than Bruce has got.

I understand a lot of their gripes as far as Ashley is concerned but their fawning over the Saudis was/is nowt short of shameful. Actually wanting to be owned by someone who orders the murder of journalists who dare to speak out against them and overseeing a regime where it's legal to sentence someone to death for being gay :oops:
