Bruce Sacked at last (now official)

[john e]

There's no way I have the skills needed to do what Bruce does. Imagine the years of experience and knowledge you'd need to build an unbalanced squad, play people out of position, have no discernible style of play, sign lots of players and rarely play them, blame everyone else when it goes wrong and not bother turning up to watch training.

Classic Bruce. "Ultimately I take the responsibility" and then blames someone else. Twat.

and get paid somewhere around 1.7 m for your efforts

that really is a Brucie bonus

Could be just what we need, bit of foreign glamour. I stayed in the same hotel as Ms Christensen and her mate Christy Turlington once, they are the most beautiful people I have ever seen, be great if Christy could come as Dof or assistant. Any idea if they have their coaching badges?

Was she in Chris Isaacs ' Wicked Game ' video ?

She most certainly was.

I'm bored of Bruce.  I want to start looking forward to games again.

Forgot about that, think Michael Hutchence dumped her for Kylie Minogue, even worse deal than anything Bruce could do.

One of my favourite songs ever.  The video isn't bad either.

Harold Makoudi on why didn’t join us

Harold Moukoudi: “Aston Villa? I saw huge, impressive infrastructure. I had the feeling that their football and ours were not the same. I went there to hear what the coach had to say to me. I took the time to think and I chose to stay in France.”

I take it from that...“Roll up your sleeves lads and whack it long to Hogan” isn’t what he wanted to hear.

[brian green]

That or "can you play right back son?"

if that’s true it’s pretty depressing

One of the top stories on the Beeb website is "Oldest known drawing found". Rumours that it's related to Bruce's tactics are yet to be confirmed.

The mammoth section is to be called The Bruce Cave.  One at the front all the rest at the back on the right side.

[The Edge]

Shock news: Apparently Bruce has sanctioned a move to loan out De Laet. Has he lost his mind? That will leave us with only 27 right backs.

Has this fat prick done anything this window or did he piss off to the med again tanning and  boozing?

Stock up on the pork pies!

interesting to see if that casual Villa top is being stretched to the max tomorrow at the pre-match press interview.
