Ultimately he failed at City - he got us relegated with the biggest spend in the club's history, the team underperformed the next season, he ****ed up Europe, he dropped players to pick his son and then he threw his toys out of the pram because he couldn't have another bumper budget - he played some of the ****est negative football I've seen in years, his tactics of either taking all the attackers off if we were winning or throwing them all on if we were losing was Sunday League at best - he went to Villa with by far the best squad in the Championship - he ****ed up last season and he's totally ****ed up this season - he deploys exactly the same negative tactics - his excuses are just the same, 'one of those horrible afternoons' 'we huffed and puffed' and blaming either the players or the fans for his failures - why the **** would anyone want him back - he's a ****ing Jonah
drivel. he lost in the playoff final last season and since then villa have had financial issues that have prevented him getting reinforcements.
Some on here just don't seem to get it. If he can't have a spending binge every window, he fails. Or walks.

Poster, what happened to the cabbage?
Reply, He got sacked.
Remembered with great fondness up there, or something like that.

When Sunderland sacked Steve Bruce they were 16th in the Premier League, since that time they've had unparalleled success.

it was indeed. He was really good. The dancing dinner ladies added a bit of cabaret, going in the audience wiping us down with mops.**** me. Is that Pete Bentham from Liverpool - well known head on the music scene there - at least a few years back?

He played classics such as Queen Victoris knob'! 'Dead is punk' and 'the Gothic postman'.
Actually it was ‘Dead’s not Punk’it was indeed. He was really good. The dancing dinner ladies added a bit of cabaret, going in the audience wiping us down with mops.

Had a brief chat with him after the gig. First time playing in Hull, but as you say he’s clearly been around a looooooong time.**** me. Is that Pete Bentham from Liverpool - well known head on the music scene there - at least a few years back?
Did you actually say New Model Army?Had a brief chat with him after the gig. First time playing in Hull, but as you say he’s clearly been around a looooooong time.
They were heading from Anlaby to play at a Butlins Alternative weekend in Skegness. That did sound a good weekend I have to say, even though I imagine there’s a gradual decrease in original band members every year! (UK Subs, Spear of Destiny, Sham 69, Exploited, Boomtowm Rats, Rezillos, Bad Manners, New Model Army...and Pete Bentham)
I listen to Vengeance album regularlyDid you actually say New Model Army?

After a gig in Stratford East London, many MANY moons ago, early band days, I honestly think my now partial hearing loss was set on its way from being by the main speakers for a couple of hours or so. ****ing great times. One of the best bands, period, ever, good to see they're still going strong. I better re-immerse myself.
