You also look like John Terry's illegitimate geordie brother!

Don't lie though, you thought Rev Wraith was performing another funeral and brought the spade to lay the "wa doomed" coffin to rest.
 
Latest odds (from Oddschecker) suggests it's the mags for Rafagation.

Best prices / Worst prices :
Sheff Uts 1/100, 1/100
WBA 1/25, 1/66
Soap Dodgers 13/11, Evens
Fulham 15/8, 6/5
Brighton 6/1, 4/1
Burnley 8/1, 6/1

Those seemingly so confident that the mags are staying up 8/11 is still availalbe. Was odds against last week.

I’m surprised they haven’t suspended Sheff Utd now, I reckon it’ll go to the last day. Brighton will get themselves out of it as will Burnley.

I think we have a top 10 squad right now.
The major issue is Steve Bruce refusing to play those players to their strengths and opting for a defensive system. It stifles the quality.

He's proved the potentials by the second half v Villa and the game against Everton.
We may not be top quality but we're certainly capable of holding our own to fight for a top 10 place as long as players are used for purpose.

Even Jamal Lewis is starting to look the part.
The body language of the players has been off, as far as I'm concerned. Yeah, we might have had injuries but making excuses for basically trying to shut up shop, no matter what, has been soul destroying for me.

I wanted Bruce out after initially backing him.
If he reverts back to negative football, I'll want him gone again. As it stands...and if he carries on where he left of second half with Villa and the game v Everton, I'll have no qualms about him staying.

This season I seriously don't think we need any additions to what we have if we set out like we have.
Next season is another matter if we have a mindset to step up a level.
That's likely up to Ashley and whether the club is sold to a person that has those aspirations.

Ashley is a sustainer and has been ever since he fell out of love with the club. He's doing what most clubs do and that's play second fiddle to the so called elite clubs. Happy to be also ran like the other dozen clubs.

However, I want to see feel good football, win lose or draw. I saw it second half v Villa and saw it the entire game v Everton.
More of the same, regardless.

Do you reckon this ‘top 10 squad’ has enough to avoid finishing bottom 3?

I love how football fans always know more about what players can do, than the manager and coaching staff who see these lads many times a week.

Do you really think you know more about the strengths of a player, and the tactics needed than a man with career in football, (as a player and manager) who sees these players day in, day out?

Bruce may be a crap manager, but I guarantee he knows more about players and their strengths than the average fan!

Getting a bit nervous mate ? Fulham and Brighton seem to be playing far better than your shower .

Yeah, I mean nervous as much as my apathy allows. I think we are doomed to be honest. Like you say those 2 more capable and simply better then us at the minute, we are a f***ing car crash.
 
Newcastle look fucked to me, seeing their game today they're clearly playing like a team on the way down, as did West Brom, Joelington looks f***ing shot to bits, and he's the main goal threat with a ratio of 1 goal in 20 games. Villa on Friday night & Grealish's return couldn't have come at a worse time for the barcodes. Then it's Brighton away. Genuinely cannot see them staying up if they don't sack Bruce

I'd be surprised if he gets sacked, he's the perfect puppet for Ashley who I think would be happy to roll the dice on bouncing straight back up again. He's also got a fair bit on at the moment keeping his retail empire afloat during a pandemic.

Bruce looked red as a beetroot today, almost purple, like his blood pressure was right up
