Diego Lugano. Now at Sao Paulo. Has played 95 (!) times for Uruguay. Can only assume his hilarious Villa Park performance was an aberration and he's normally much better.

He was the one who was literally all over Benteke every time the ball came near him in that 4-3 game wasn't he?  He gave a penalty away in that game IIRC.

Bruce has a better promotion record and knows the Championship more.  I wouldn't go with Pulis right now no.

Please let them appoint Mclaren to pay "Albion" style football. Their fans are so delusional about the way they should play and how huge a club they are. Plus was detestable and I would happily never see a side of his face a rugby field again.

We can't really mock Albion fans in regards to the demand about the style of football, all you need do is look at the Bruce Out thread and you'll see that we have a fair share of fans with the same mindset.

Indeed. Football fans wanting to watch decent football. Outrageous.

I'm not sure you can compare the two anyway. Pulis is way out there on his own when it comes to mind numblingly dull football.

Everyone wants to watch good football, but for some unknown reason boggies fans think they're entitled to it - as if there's an 'Albion Way' to play. This is a club that have been managed by Gary Megson for Christ's sake.

How many fans associate their club with mind numbing  dull football ?
This reputation is caused by a managers philosophy.
Bolton Allardyce
Stoke Pullis
Villa McLeish Lambert Bruce

I've never found Bruce's football under us mind numblingly dull. Frustrating sometimes but not dull.

It's frustrating because you care but a neutral would probably find it mind numbingly dull.
