Villa losing... Always nice... They're not the same without barkley... We should've been on for him
 
<laugh>

Look at the pace of the defenders.

Long ball football would be ace in womans football, surely.
There's one point at 6 secs in where both of them do exactly the same thing with their arms. They are either shouting at the goalkeeper to come out or doing that thing that women do with their arms when running to try and generate a bit more pace.
 
We don't need to sack Bruce when the takeover happens - he could just takeover the women's team.


Bruce's doing just fine under the current structure and on his salary I think it's time fans accepted the situation.. My issue is with the owner... It's unfair the **** Bruce gets imo.. He's not great at it, the footballs crap, but it's about results and we get results. I think he might actually be right and so was rafa.... If we play attacking free-flowing football we could well get hammered week in week out

So you would keep him on after the takeover?
 
No absolutely not, but the circumstances and constraints would be different...

If you're on higher wages you tend to have better things.
It was just you responded to my post that said he should be moved to the women's team instead of sacking him after the takeover with "he is doing just fine and posters need to accept that".

I am with you - absolutely no point sacking him unless a takeover happens. He is doing okay and we won't get any better under Ashley and it could well be worse.

If he looks at my statistics and modifies his game plan accordingly we could end up being the most boring team to ever make it into Europe (apart from Burnley)

We'll be nowhere near Europe.... If you look at the table now you've got your bottom 6 bar arsenal who will climb a bit
 
If we are concerned about the takeover and simply want to remain in the league until we are bought, Bruce is not the answer.

You cannot guarantee safety under Steve Bruce, if thats what you want, hire Sam Allardyce.

Also, David Moyes is doing a better job at West Ham (as I said he would) than Bruce is with us and we are very similar clubs.

We simply made a bad decision.
