    Sooner Bruce is gone the safer we can be.

    Don't agree... We need to win on Tuesday and we need to accept Bruce is here for the full season.... Ashley isn't going to replace and of he does it'll make no difference because he's going to employ the same loww level brit and he'll have the same crap squad.

    I wonder who the next gormless out of work yes man Ashley is going to exhume will be?

    Maybe Alan Curbishley or Gordon Strachan.

    Christ knows. I actually think, on reflection, I understand what Bruce is trying to say - we are managed by an (at best) Championship-level manager. We have League Two-level MD and our owner is better suited to the Northern Premier League rather than the real one. It's actually astonishing that this club is even in the PL.

    How many of our players actually played for relegated teams (including us)? It must be a high number. All told, we're looking at it wrong. We have an awful owner where relegation is a matter of when, not if. As a result we have an awful manager, no corporate team, no strategy, limited commercial income and a threadbare structure. Our facilities are mid-table Championship and absolutely none of this is going to change until someone's stupid enough to pay over the odds to that fat ****er.

    Ummm... Wilson, Fraser, Darlow, Laecelles, Shelvey, Clark, Gayle, Hayden, Carroll, Dummett, Ritchie and Murphy... I believe is the answer.

    So 12, easily a full team, and most of our starting 11.

    Wijnaldum and Robertson were relegated and they've won the league and champions league

    It's the manager. Full stop. Every issue on the field is his fault. Everything outside of that is Mike Ashley s fault

    I'd like to think any team, even one managed by Bruce, could pick up a point vs the Blades. But I genuinely think we'll get comfortably beaten playing back foot bullshit vs them.

    Vs. Arsenal we genuinely looked like, at times, we didn't know what we were supposed to do with the football.
