    A home for the hissy fitters & poodlers, offering them a hospitable & informal place in which they are free to post their overreactions, stamp their feet, scream petulantly & scrape their finger nails down the blackboard.

    Feel free to post your tantrums along with those of others, but remember, this is not a place for discussion, it’s a haven for comfort & counselling, where the most needy & wobbly kneed can be helped & given guidance without judgement.

    Relax, stay calm &, above all, try to not only enjoy your visit but use it as an opportunity to rediscover your inner peace.

    My favourite is, " He's tactically inept". Ye over 700 games as a player and 700 as a manager and knows **** all.

    Or, "he doesnt have a plan B".

    "The two incidents don't warrant each other. He [Hutton] has thrown the ball at his back. It's not going to hurt Altidore, he is built like a horse. He might be angry, but to go and headbutt someone …

    "Alan is lucky not to be in hospital as he has a cut eye, bust nose and chipped tooth. The letter of the law says if you throw a ball at someone it is a red card. It seems strange, but it's the letter of the law."

    Poodling doesn't come much worse than this.

    Which lying fat **** came out with that torrent of bullshit?

    We should sell the team and then only conduct our future transfer policy in hindsight.

    That sounds a solid strategy.

    We bought Jelavic in January it was obvious he'd get ill sometime. Unforgivable from Bruce.

    The thing about steve Bruce is that he start's strong, at every club he's every managed he's starts strong and then if the team starts to lose then even though he's started strong he can't change thing's because he has a set way of playing and that is strong at the start but injeries and loss of form means that it isn't strong at the end. Even though he's started strong.

    It happened at Birmingham, where he started strong but by the end the team wasn't winning and Bruce couldn't turn it around. Wigan was the same where he statred strong then they stopped winning and Bruce couldn't change it around because he has no plan b if plan a, which is starting strong, isn't working. At Sunderland the pattern was different. He started strong then started to lose and couldn't tern it round.

    He's at that stage with us now and itll be the same unless we change now, and get a manager now in who finishes strong because bruce starts strong but his finish with teams isnt strong.

    Rude hullit is a good pundit and a good manager too boot..

    Worth considering?

    We should have loaned him to a Championship club just before the Arsenal game, then cancelled the loan just before the Spurs match – saving a fortune in wages.

    "Players don't give a ****. Be bottom at Christmas. Never has it looked so blatantly obvious that a team is going down."

    How strange that, with the obvious exception or two, very few actual poodles are trying out the parlour.

    I think you're just a bit dense Polly.

    We need a striker
    In fact we need four strikers, and each of them should be capable of 50 goals a game. Our strikers can't hit a barn door. Sagbo isn't a striker of any description. Strikers scored goals in my day, even when they weren't playing. We need lots of strikers !

    Just to clarify, you think Bruce's issue is he doesn't start games strongly enough?
