How nice would a Hull win be? Could do with Sunderland getting a result too.

[RichC]

It's fat head so there is no way he'll pick up points against the Mancs

This is Steve Bruce pre-match. Have a read.

"I've never beaten them and I don't know if this is a better chance.

"Just because they've changed manager doesn't mean that mentality's going to go away.

"It's ingrained in them.

"For a lot of the players, they're used to success.

"They know how to win a league.

"You can never write them off because they are capable of going to win eight, nine or 10 games on the spin.

"Usually, they get stronger in the second half of the season.

"That's always been the case with them, so I wouldn't write them off.

"I don't think the aura has gone.

"In my experience, whether you're Bayern Munich or Scunthorpe, with Manchester United it's a big occasion.

"The ring of Manchester United just seems to have a special pull about it.

"It's true you either love them or hate them but you can't argue it's a magical draw when you play against them, always."

I don't think he could come out and say they're **** and cunts.

[TheElephantMan]

Defeatist that, I don't think teams are afraid of United any more.

[Shaggy]

**** off Bruce you cunt.

[G]

He never has an problem having a good go against us and our name is a big in world football as theirs the fat headed ****. Plenty of teams have proved the lustre is gone but its too much to ask for an ex United legend to have a go.

[RichC]

He'll set up not to lose and allow them to come onto them all game. It's the same every year with clubs that have managers like him in charge

[Muddled]

Steve Bruce is a cuntflap; he's always been there to over-pay for United's dross and act as Fergie's lackey. The fact he's employed is incredible.

[Muddled]

A good looking thread, Chazza ... as always.

And paid a heck of a lot of wedge too. Managers like him getting sacked every year with a hug payout. It's like shuffling **** with him, Fat Sam and Holloway etc.

Average attempt for me. 6/10.

Paid handsomely for being a **** up ... can't be bad.

[Muddled]

I'm off to the Newcastle, Stoke game with Mrs Muddled and the out-laws ... *deep sigh*.

I'm hoping it's one of those freak 5-4 games that occur during the festive period. Alas, I think it's going to be one of those turgid nil-nils with a lot of football in the air. Yipeeeee.

[Lee]

Have fun, Mudds.

Watching Stoke live.
