    Serious question. If I love the circus and we have clowns in our team, why don’t they make me laugh?

    Look at that injury list. Players hiding. Scared to play. Or genuine injuries?

    This was my Facebook status from 10 years ago today..... Sniff


    Reporter:..." Steve, with all the millions you've spent and the signings of Brown and O'Shea from Manchseter United, how far away from a good side are you?"

    Steve Bruce..." Oh, about 13 miles "

    We've got too many injuries to key players

    We've also got a very **** manager. That's more of a hindrance than the injuries

    Key players? we only have 4 of them.

    Can you imagine them picking 2 teams out of our squad for training matches - Dubs, Wilson, ASM and Willock 1st 4 picks, the rest are like the fat ginger kid at school who had the longing and hopeful look on his face that he wouldn't be picked last.

    I will absolutely guarantee even a ****ing hammering wouldn't see him gone. Nothing is going to remove him, except a change of ownership. We're going to get beat today, there's no point getting angry because nothing will change. I'm not watching, as usual, saves me any anguish. I go from "meh" if we win, to "meh" with a smirk if we lose.

    So we need to win. But more so Bruce needs the win.

    Let’s see if he gets it right.

    The setup is key.

    Appreciate he has a ready made excuse in injuries but that’s just tough luck. He has to win today.

    A draw or a defeat and he’s cannon fodder.

    Guarantee 5-4-1.

    No idea who he'll pick, at least 4 will be out of position of course. Think he might go with Manq, Krafth, Fede, Clark, Ritchie as a 5 man mess. Then Murphy right, Hayden, Longstaff and Joe on the left(or something equally ****ing baffling) with ASM up front.

    Nah, he's got to pick ASM, but it'll be a load of **** and wont work. I've never seen a manager who thinks it's quicker to run up the pitch than pass it. He's a ****ing Grade A moron.

    A flexible 4-3-3 is probably best.

    But ASM is not a striker so it’s actually 5-5-0
