You know like most of us do when things aren't working.
Just saying,like
Luke
I much prefer sandpit hopping God-botherer Jonathan Edwards. Hell, even mackem Carlos Edwards is streets ahead.
Luke Pritchard. He was the singer in The Kooks. They had a song about Steve Bruce back in the day.

In all honesty the documentary could have been harder hitting, it could have mentioned and highlighted the ambulances called to the distribution centre for exhausted staff, the woman who had to give birth in the toilets. The people who are dropped at a drop of the hat. They could have gone into more details about his running of NUFC, instead of it easily being passed off as our fans being demanding.
It could have been harder hitting and should have, but hopefully it’s a sign of the media and everyone else getting sick of him.
I also have to say that I the government are going to use him as a fall guy. He’s buying all these companies and letting them either go bust or essentially asset stripping them, moving staff on poor SD contracts etc. The government will soon blame him for job losses for failing to turn the businesses around, and the failing high street. It will mean the government has longer to act before they have to intervene with tax breaks or grants for brick and mortar retailers, toughing tax laws of internet sales, and tackling unemployment.

How could we possibly compete against the mighty Norwich?
Inquests now too? Should have stuck with the back to basics and saved the inquest for next week's drubbing, halcyon days indeed.

"We simply weren't good enough - with it or without the ball - and certainly without the ball we didn't do enough, the basics to stop Norwich enjoying their afternoon and if you do that against a very, very decent football team like they are, then you are going to become unstuck like we were."

Ok, who had "back to basics?" I'm sure that's a PFM house in just 2 matches, new record?

The players were back in for training on Sunday as Bruce drove home the importance of doing the basics right again.
