I didn't ignore anything, I was just disagreeing. It's a forum, it happens.

How naive of me, getting behind a manager who's done this four times before.

Wow, you wouldn't think we could go second tomorrow could you?


and yet no one called you naive or said you were wrong, it's just that some people disagree, an argument you yourself use any time it suits you.

Again what has the bold bit got to do with the discussion we've been having?  This must be what teaching a class of ADHD kids feels like.

And you can cut that out.

Sorry, the last bit probably did go over the line, I'm just frustrated that twice in the space of 3 posts he's completely ignored what was actually being discussed and posted something that was seemingly intended to stop a conversation that he didn't need to join.

Wow making an excuse for taking the mickey out of children with learning difficulties.

I know he's been.pulled up on it already but as it was aimed at me, fucking hell, what a disgraceful comment.

Disgraceful? Grow up it was a comment you not paying attention and you know it.  I've apologised for it so you can both quit the stirring.

I really hope you're right Clampy. Not just for villa, but for your own sake. Bragging about your backing for Bruce with 17 games to go is brave to say the least. Just as well those with doubts about him weren't playing the same card last season and before this last 5 game run

I don't think i've bragged about anything. I've backed him since he walked through the door because I thought we needed to stick with someone instead of chopping and changing again. I'm glad it's looking good at the moment but i've no idea how it's going to pan out, none of us do.

Moving this debate back to where it should be.

Performances like today are why giving him six months in the premier league would be a bit of a waste of time I think.

Still a while to go before we can legitimately debate that.

He has built a very capable team and has hit one of his streaks of form, which if it holds would represent an honestly spectacular turnaround. He does sometimes undermine his good work in-game (especially today!), but hey, half the time a 'genius substitution' is just a manager sorting out something really dumb with his starting side. Bruce is the other way round, but that's fine.

You're forgetting the inspirational move to bring Jedinak on on Tuesday allowing Snodgrass to do his thing.😉

Certainly underwhelmed by Bruce's choice of subs today. No creativity on there to replace tiring Albert or Snoddy. I'd much prefer to give game time to our own youngsters like Green and O Hare. If loans means having to select players like Onomah at the expense of our own, to keep the likes of spuds and manure happy, then I'm not a fan. UTV!
