Hopefully Bruce resigns between now and the next game so we don’t have to see him in the dugout again

Tell us how you really feel

Tell us how you really feel

If I told you how I really feel about the numptys in charge at my club, I have no doubt I would be banned from here within 2 mins

No doubt cabbage head will quote this at some point post match “Well you know Villa, they are a very tough side. It’s a difficult place to go. We had some moments in the game but we just need to dust ourselves off ready for Leeds who are a very tough side”

Anyone else up for brucie ******** bingo?

I really hope he doesn't

PMSL, any of your players in a current goal drought? If they are make sure they start next week certainties to get a goal

This just goes to show how good a manager Rafa was, he proved what you can do when you have well drilled players, Bruce is proving what happens when you don’t have a well drilled players and train them correctly.

This must tell you how bad the Toon are, Grealish has never stayed on his feet for so long

A Steve bruce trained football team is like watching a 4 year old trying to do a 1000 piece jigsaw

Pure hot garbage from Newcastle.

Don't think I've ever been so comfortable watching Villa in a league game. Getting bored when you're winning is a sign of an awful, awful opponent.

Rafa is available now. Should really be trying to get him back. I highly doubt he’d fancy it though.

 

[BaZ87]

Benitez won't go back while Ashley is still there.

 

[Calm]

Nothing changed, he'd be foolish to return, realistically he shouldn't have stuck around as long as he did. Brucey is doing a good job of showing just how good Rafa was, more money spent, worse team!

We've just gone Backwards!

ASM and Almiron under Rafa with Rondon, would have been interesting! Hard to beat, bit of a threat, and less money spent!

 

[the wopster]

Ashley most likely will sack Bruce, but you can bet your arse it won’t be until the transfer window is closed, can’t have a manager asking for money to spend.

 

[jonneymendoza]

Benitez won't go back while Ashley is still there.

Hold on, What happened to Benitez? i totally forgot he was newcastle manager?

Looks like the City/Villa offside issue has been 'clarified'

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55814673

But referees group the Professional Game Match Officials Limited, rulemakers the International Football Association Board, and European governing body Uefa have since offered clarification on how such an incident should be interpreted in the future.

"Where a player in an offside position immediately impacts on an opponent who has deliberately played the ball, the match officials should prioritise challenging an opponent for the ball, and thus the offside offence of 'interfering with an opponent by impacting on the opponent's ability to play the ball' should be penalised."

The statement from the Premier League added: "Accordingly, if a similar situation to the one involving Rodri's impact on Mings occurred in a future match, then the impact would be penalised for offside."

Can't wait for the subjective arguments over what counts as 'immediately impacts' should this happen again
