    Andre Villas-Boas is under pressure at the bridge. After only 12 games and an indifferent start, he isn't delivering for the fans or owner. He could be replaced before the year is out. 2nd rate isn't good enough and failure is punished not rewarded.

    Our plank has had 2.5 years and has a worse record still, yet retains his job. Why?

    You need a hobby mate, this current trend of finding 101 ways to have a pop at Bruce every day is getting old

    1. Lose to Wigan and his already borrowed time will be up.

  7. I personally think you need to be careful what you wish for. I think losing Bruce now will totally kill the dressing room.

    Bendtner came to your club because he knows and respects Bruce, not just because he wants to play. Titus Bramble came because of his connections with Bruce also.

    He also made a good signing in Sess, and a good buy with Brown, who's been great for 1m.

    Well Abromivich in his pursuit to win the champions league certainly isn't shy when it comes to replacing the manager.

    IMHO Mourinho would have done it if he had kept him. Hopefully our chairman is still interested in the club... and secondly has the right balance between letting a stinker go and giving a manager enough time to reveal something positive.

    Don't worry, Steve Bruce will emulate Sir Alex Ferguson. It's not as if Sir Alex achieved anything of note before was appointed at Manchester. Just a couple of little things like the European Cup Winners Cup, European Super Cup and 3 Scottish Titles with Aberdeen (who havn't won anything since). Bruce did manage to relegate Birmingham however so this I suppose is a good reason to keep him here for the next 25 years.

    He can sign these players and build a good squad, but he can't manage them so he can **** off

    Anything other than a win next week will see the end of Stevie B IMO.

    If we don't win next Saturday id be surprised if he's still in a job Monday morning. Even if we beat Wigan we'll still be in a relegation fight if Bruce is still here in the new year.

    I see your finding it difficult to come up with excuses for Bruce the failure so I guess if it makes you more cosy to have a pop at me then go for it. It wont improve our plight but hey, fill yer boots.

    This is improvement? **** me daft, I hope things dont go tits up this season then.

    When you start attending games I'll take your comments seriously
