But remember when a lot of fans weren't happy with the style of football under MON and were complaining? I would snap your hand off if you offered me top 6 in the prem playing direct ball.

They were unhappy because they could see that we were spending a lot of money, with questions over where it came from, to stand still because the style didn't work at home.

Was Mourinho successful at Chelsea playing exciting football? Did we enjoy being in the top 6 under MON playing a direct game? We weren't happy with the MON football but we were in the top 6 of the premiership.

What do we want!? When do we want it!?

I want winning football and I couldn’t care less what style it is.

Really?

It is meant to be fun.

Team like wimbledon used  to win far more games than they lost. Still couldn't get any punters in to watch them.

Bruceball is a tedious turn of phrase for the lazy, who appear incapable of articulating anything of note.

There are plenty of critics of Bruce and the way we play football who are able to pen something worth reading.
Thrilling post.
if you disagree with the point please enlighten us with your superior intellect and insightful point of view, instead of petty point scoring.

You know something worth reading,

Because they were a non-league team done good

Absolutely. I mean where were they going to find any punters in London even if they played good football?!

So they went one stop up the Euston line to that hotbed of football fervour Milton Keynes.  A fitting mummification of a team of thugs and head bangers.

Does anyone actually believe sacking him now would be a good idea? Not the end of season but now.

It's not going to happen whilst we're up amongst it trying to get out the division and I don't think it should.
