Heads down, lads. We’re about to get told off by Sister Assumpta

I said it years ago on here I think, that the anger and that by fans is really inconsequential. It comes and goes after good/bad runs. The big problem is apathy, that’s where I am and have been for years (with a brief window of supporting Rafa) and I won’t be the only one. Its sad because not only do I not give a fuck what happens to Newcastle United anymore I’m getting bored of football generally because what we used to support isn’t a football club anymore so what’s the point? At at least the memes will be good this year.

I think my favourite line from ewerk's Bruce quotes above is "I can’t remember a good afternoon coming back to Norwich." If you've never once managed to go to somewhere like Norwich and get a performance out of your side, maybe you ought to have the self-awareness to think that football management isn't for you.

What's this Mr Miyagi bollocks? I've got some wisdom of my own to share with the cabbage faced clown, fuck on fuck off

Joelinton needs time to adapt and it’s a luxury we absolutely can’t afford. It’s Mitrovic all over again where we’re asking a young kid to lead the line in his first season in England. Complete madness.

Do you think that maybe, in hindsight, your previous criticism of Benitez was somewhat misguided?

A bit more choke and it'll start.

You calling our lass fat?

Most of the criticism of you comes from you talking absolute fucking shite

Scary thing is, Kinnear actually has a better win ratio in the PL than Bruce....

Just needs more time, lads.

36% possession against Norwich ffs. You see that stat under Rafa and you understand that he had a plan. Today it was just because we were shite.

If only someone could've forseen than letting a world class manager walk away and replacing him with Steve fucking Bruce was a bad idea.

World of Shitecraft by the sound of it

Saying he clearly needs time to adapt isn’t slagging him off, it’s the truth. At a well-run club, he’d be behind Rondon as he gets up to speed. Not chucked in immediately and asked to recoup 12 goals in his first season.

Keown is an absolutely unbelievable gobshite. He’s spent all game praising Ceballos, Willock and Cousin It in Arsenal’s midfield. Torreria comes on, hits one shot and he’s asking why he isn’t starting that’s some packed midfield he’s wanting them to play.

Anyway, @Gemmill, you back from....checks copious mentions in posts.....err, Zanzibar, yet? (Fish's girlfriend and J69's working for the NHS posts coming under serious threat, here mind).

5-1 loss. Jetro Willems to concede two penalties for handling because he thought he was in goal.

Hope you wiped the seat down, at least.

You’re telling bitter middle aged bastards to suck eggs. Good luck for the season. Just understand Newcastle are an advertising hoarding for sports shops not a football club so trying to talk football is a bit fuckin pointless

Oh you digging out obvious sarcasm and taking it out of context to make some kind of desperation point?

Rattled.

I’m saying that.

You shouldn't believe fuck all you read.

THIS IS ALL BRUCES FAULT

Almost all of us want to be relegated mate, it's the only way to remove the cancer. Don't read too much into your season from this result, we're a hollowed out shell of a football club. Having said that, with us going down it increases your chances of staying up. Good luck with it.

Matt Ritchie is mentally preparing his post-match statement about how everything is positive, Steve Bruce is a world class manager and how he still can’t understand why we’re annoyed with Ashley.

He'll never sell while we are in the PL, its too much of a cash cow to keep milking. He needs to have the revenue cut from him. We might see a bit more traction in the boycott if we play like this for many more games.

I'm doing my best not to kneejerk here, bit fuck me, Bruce looks completely out of his depth here. Against fucking Norwich

Problem with that is I think we've had pretty much all of those British managers on that merry go round. David Moyes might come in as replacement to nail the final one in the coffin.

He’s going for the express variety, and chosen well as he can try to play it off as factors beyond his control in order to land another potential destroy and exit before Christmas. It’ll be a fucking Bumper year at the British managers club feast.

We'll be criticised for trusting world class Benitez to turn it around last season and not affording Steve Bruce the same level of trust. Luke Edwards will be the first.

BREWCE NEEDS TIYUM [/localpress]

The squad is stronger on paper though, even Mark Douglas said. So many thick mugs about.

This could get properly bad here haha

Muto hat trick.

Genuinely don’t get what formation we are playing, Hayden sometimes looks like he’s on the wing. I knew Bruce was a shite manager but honestly didn’t know you could be as shambolic as this. Agree completely with AH on Joelinton. The fact it’s the second time they’ve done the exact same thing should be pointed out to anyone that defends Ashley, so currently this would be pointed at Gary Neville. I wasn’t going to rate our chances off the Arsenal game, but this was a good test and we look fucking hopeless. I think we will go down tbh, and I really hope we stay there this time.

Textbook destroy and exit.

It's called 'heterosexual' round here, like.

Train cans.

Sticky buns ?

He’s only available if it doesn’t clash with his shift at Aldi.

You know that knob who did the championship games for sky? Didn't like us much? Prutton? Do they have a similar journeyman for league one? "And as usual we're joined by ex- Wycombe and Bradford striker Billy Arkwright. Billy, this is obviously the game of the season at the stadium of light today. Can you tell the viewers what players to look out for as some of them might not have a fucking clue who any of them are?"

Grassroots football, heavily fertilised by the good folk of Sunderland.

HAKUNA MATATA CUNNYCHOPS!

That’s a fine chair

I quite like Gabby Logan as it happens, Crouch seems a decent lad as well. I'm fucked if I'll watch that, though.

So what’s changed?

Relieved. Just passed my Level 3 Rope Access ticket (again)- three more years of fun and frolics on dangly string. After a week of rescues, though, I’m absolutely fucking battered - I think I might have caught arthritis this week
