According to Mr Bruce

[Peabody]

There was nothing between the two sides in the first hour and then Villa gifted us two goals.

[Mince n Tatties]

What a plonker he is,we bossed them second half.

[west kowloon white]

And first half.

[Baszab]

we totally outplayed them - their only chance was in the first half with dragged shot - can't remember Bettenelli making a save

[cottage expat]

 Surely "gifting" goals means that the gift giving team is by definition the inferior one .

[Twig]

We totally outplayed them. End of.

[SG]

He is a total knob

[Woolly Mammoth]

We proved we are the better team. The Result and scoreline proves it.

[F(f)CUK]

Listened to his interview on 5 Live. Seemed to ignore the fact that we were better than them. If only they hadn't made mistakes!

[Whitesideup]

Seems that most of the posts on the Villa forum disagreed with Bruce. He is living in a dream world, or perhaps he is just finding a way to justify his own team's performance publicly but does not really believe it privately.

[bog]

He set his side up to stop us playing but it did not work. Great atmosphere today!   082.gif 049:gif :clap_hands: :yay:

 

[filham]

He said that on going a goal down they had to open up a bit and that let us in. He said that as if that was bad luck not realising he was admitting that all he could do was try to defend in numbers.

[tommy]

He's always been a bad loser

[One Martin Thomas]

He did praise us and was gracious enough in defeat. No issue for me. Great result!

[bahay18]

Quite clearly deluded today , outclassed for the whole game. Only ever going to score from a set piece .couldnt get the ball off us in the second half . While a 68% pass success rate (while a touch higher than their amazing performance against Birmingham ) suggests they couldn't keep the ball either. Great day out , well done every player to a man. It was a shame that we were up against qpr v Bolton today which was clearly game of the day otherwise we might have got more coverage on CH5. How weird was that ?

[S.F.Sorrow]

We completely outclassed them. They were lucky to only lose 2-0 and didn't look like promotion material to me. Not the way they completely fell apart after 2-0. It will be interesting to see if they get back to their winning form or if this was a turning point for them. I know they had a couple of key players injured but they looked really, really poor today.

You know fine rightly if we were outclassed by a promotion rival, missing 2 players, and wanting to keep the momentum going despite a defeat, you can guarantee Slav would be coming out with the same jargon. It's standard manager talk for not wanting to big up one of your closest rivals who are clearly catching up

We have been without  our best player most of the season.
Dont remember Slav making any excuses about that interviews.
Bruce under a lot of pressure at big boys Villa .

He spends a fortune  every team he manages. Once they lose a few more, he will resort to his usual "blame everyone but himself" stance as he always does.
An absolute tool
