    No I couldn't have been wrong.. You have repeatedly demonstrated that you're not reading or understanding my position.

    That's why you keep getting everything that follows wrong.

    I am, you've just tried to cover all bases and still managed to be wrong, that takes some doing. Just like if we win today you'll say he's doing fine, if we lose you'll want him gone

    No that's wrong again.

    I've told you directly over and over again but it simply doesn't resonate in your brain for some reason mate.

    Credit when results are good and criticise when they're not (that's it) otherwise you're being unfair.

    Of course it's not because you find excuses and perform mental gymnastics simply because you cannot put your hate and 2 year argument to one side.

    BTW what if Bruce gets a couple of wins? Is it OK to say well done or not? Will you? No

    No I won't. But there's no chance of that anyway

    No of course you won't just like when you all didn't after an 18 game spell of good form.

    As I recall we were going down unless bruce went

    I agree on this and the reason is as one explained several times...

    If I'm going to criticise when he's doing ****e then I have the good nature and cognitive ability to overcome my emotional decision making and credit when he's doing well.

    Why should Bruce get credit for somebody else doing what he should be doing and is paid to do? I’m struggling on that one.

    Do what you claim Ben fails to do and read what I actually wrote. It helps.

    You're implying when Bruce was doing well that it was Jones?

    Nufc fans want to praise Jones when it goes when it goes well and blame Bruce when it's not


    I'm just fair

    No. You think that’s what I’m implying. Concentrate on what I actually say. Then you’ll understand what I’m saying.

    No. It’s just you keep trying to twist what is said to suit your position as opposed to simply noting what is actually said.

    You might want to consider asking me who is to blame for this season’s poor start. That might enlighten you as to what my view is on that point rather than you guessing.

    You spent all summer trying to avoid saying well done to Bruce, sighting Jones as the reason and refusing evidence Bruce employed him.

    Would you like the screenshots

    No. I agree with that. I also had tea and toast for breakfast. Which is as relevant as your response is to my last post.
