Joelinton for 45 million reads like Graham Carr getting one last big payout. The greedy bastard.

But he doesn't, so we won't

I reckon it’s you channelling Fish with the zany amps turned up to eleven

Edwards really is a fucking embarrassment.

They were probably getting away from Bruce who wanted to go out on the piss with them

Alreet Sir Jimmy Renton.

Hi guys! Just to let you know that in two days (Saturday 20th July) we're having a panel signing at Waterstones Gateshead in the Metrocentre for a new book called The Amazing Journey: How Newcastle United Conquered Europe to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Newcastle United's Inter-Cities Fairs Cup victory. It's a great book and if you pick it up tomorrow, you can get it signed by the author as well as former player Jim Scott. The publisher is trying to get other former players to come along too so there might be some additional unannounced guests show up on the day. The signing will be taking place at 11am but I'd recommend arriving early if you're interested as we have limited stock and the event is unticketed so it's a first-come-first-serve kind of deal. You can find all the details here: https://www.waterstones.com/events/the-amazing-journey-how-newcastle-united-conquered-europe-book-signing/gateshead Hope to see you there!

would love to see it empty, but realistically what do you reckon? going to guess at 42,000ish although there's every chance a big money signing (for ashley's nufc) will pull in another 3 or 4 thousand. a crowd of less than 40,000 would be a reasonable show of discontent from our support and although not enough to financially piss the fat cunt off would be sufficient to raise some discussion in the media.

Mind you, if CT looked like this, I’d put up with his shite patter.

He’s got the Vulcan Death shake on Rafa there.

Chase it with this quality beverage.

Wahey!

2%? You’d need special brew to watch the shite footy we’re about to be served up.

One's a purveyor of cheap shite, the other is a chain of discount stores

Running

Straight and to the point.

"Make no mistake, we are active as we speak and hopefully we will get them over the line." we've heard this line before

I havent read or listened to a thing Bruce has said yet barring odd snippets on Twitter timeline that have popped up. Couldn't be less interested

Pull that latex scrotum of a mask off his face to find Joe Kinnear operating the controls

Its 100% legit

Literally the only way they can spin it. The gammons will lap it up, because it fits with their view of life, not with reality.

If Bruce was your boss, wouldn’t you?

Not a chance I'm getting called late to the party by Johnny Hates Jazz here. Outrageous.

He’s not giving Bruce 90million. Bruce will be given some players that Rafa wouldn’t have accepted in a month of fuckin Sundays

If the 500 teenagers that got on my bus today were to post in here, the answer would certainly be "Lynx Africa and I'm going to spray the full can on myself"

He never really got the hang of this football lark.

The brilliant thing is even his edit about Ashley finally understanding what's needed has turned out to be wrong.

Aye predicting something 2 months after it happens is very impressive. Hold on I’m getting something.... I predict England will win the 2019 cricket World Cup.

He basically wants to sign a player for fuck all, see him have a good season and flog him. Cabaye was like a wet dream for him, in that sense. What makes him even more backward is that if he had any kind of long term thinking, he’d have invested in the academy 12 years ago and would be raking it in off the kids who would have come through properly.

That would mean he was interested in the success of the team over the long term - which was what Rafa wants. I don't disagree he is spiteful but think he is motivated by more than just that.

Newcastle United, summer 2019:

Funny how it's always a "her", too.

He didn't, but he added an extra sprinkling of powdered shit by refusing to actually say "racism", or as he called it, "the 'R' word". Because apparently the word "racism" itself needs to be censored because that's how sensitive our best friend in the world is.

You can thank Sam Allardyce for those points. Those two matches epitomised his tenure here.

Bruce won’t be doing any of the operating, whichever end of the market, Gloomy.

Besides, "go back to where you came from" is one of the laziest and most hackneyed lines of attack there is. We already knew the man has no creativity or intellectual curiosity about him, but he's not even very interesting at being a racist.

Oh, terrific https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jul/19/sajid-javid-praises-nigel-farage-in-speech-on-extremism-boris-johnson?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other&fbclid=IwAR3r0BNpvqv55Osfgi5hRxcXqVbVGFrwIDDLTkV_0SgCZDnVXdEY_6vNL7U

From Bruce's presser today... I don’t really want to go into specifics…but there are have been a couple of things that have been written. “The big one (claim) is – I am going to sit here and be a puppet. That will not happen and I am in charge of transfers. “It is just like most football clubs, I will have the final say on transfers. have read all kinds of nonsense that I won’t. “I will work hard to make sure I work with the chief scout and the policy is like most other clubs, identify players and making sure they fit in. “I will have control of who we bring in. “We want to make a couple of acquisitions at least… “With the loss of Perez and Rondon it is where we have to immediately take a look. “Make no mistake, we are active as we speak and hopefully we will get them over the line. “I couldn’t refuse it (the NUFC job). I regretted it some ten years ago, whenever it was, and kicked myself – why didn’t I do it? So when the opportunity came, I was determined to grasp it and give it a go. “Make no mistake, I’ve come with my eyes wide open. I understand I’ve got big boots to fill, but I’ve been around the block a long time and to be given the opportunity… I’m delighted.” Showing no loyalty to Sheffield Wednesday and walking out on them: A contract is a contract and it also applies when a manager resigns. “I am disappointed as I thought it was in hand. “It is the challenge of managing Newcastle United (that was my motivation) that was the overriding factor for me to be as selfish as I was.”
