While this window has took the piss, the wretched little prick went out of his way to heap praise on Ashley and assist the excuses for no further spending by saying they went above and beyond to get Willock and discussing all the hurdles to us getting anyone. While I still think we haven’t spent enough while Bruce has been at the club, the fact is he’s been backed the most out of any manager under Ashley iirc, we’ve broke and equaled the prior transfer record under him a number of times. I have to say I disagree with Caulkin that Bruce has been “undermined, shafted, and left to dangle” by Ashley, as I say he’s been backed to a level unseen under Ashley and any time he has been given shit, like this window, he has shoveled it into his fat gob handily, he’s completely complicit in the fucking abhorrent way the club is run. Similarly to Pardew he seeks to praise and defend Ashley when he could just choose not to, I’m not even saying come out and slate Ashley but Bruce doesn’t have to go out of his way to praise the bloke. He knew absolutely all of Ashley’s flaws, apparently Shearer even called him to tell him not to take the job and why he shouldn’t, but he was more than happy to sign up for a final undeserved job at a PL club and a nice pay check. Not one fucking iota of sympathy or anything from me to this chode of a man. Of course Ashley is, and until he leaves will always be, the main issue at Newcastle but it doesn’t excuse Bruce at all to me. He’s heading for failure this season, the squad under a decent coach would survive no problem tbh but Bruce needed more yet was more than happy to praise Ashley for a shite transfer window. He was handed the 5th best defence in the league, then given nearly £100m in transfers of attacking players yet we have regressed, I’m more than happy to pile all that at Bruce’s door, the bloke is a fucking loser and a failure. Again Ashley is the reason we have this stupid cunt as manager, we still haven’t spent enough, and we have an equally incompetent tosser running the club in Charnley, but I’m not giving Bruce a fucking inch.

I'll be honest. Even if we were man city that's still a fucking waste of a holiday

He knew exactly what he was signing up for and they know exactly how he’ll respond to it; not at all, the lickspittle cunt

Let’s just say he hasn’t got a fucking clue what he’s talking about

Fished YP

Didn't seem to have a problem "letting the players and his staff" down at all the other clubs he fucked off from, did he Luke?

Not now Dave, we're grieving.

The cheek of it when he has overseen Lee Clark's young'un leave and both Longstaffs stagnate before likely departures.

What I'm getting from this is, is every time he saw the fish he looked pissed off.

Dear Luke “Chicken” Edwards. Me planting tomato seeds at the start of summer is a growing possibility. NUFC not signing anyone else is a dead cert. Kindly retire.

😑 The only upside is that it makes Edwards look like an even bigger know nothing tit if Hope's correct.

Also Luke Edwards....

Fuck did I do to you?

Excuse me while I try to find one iota of sympathy for that bacon munching flid.

I'm Llamaenting Geronimo's passing

He absolutely is. Which makes it all the more amusing that he gets stuff wrong so frequently

!No

I'm like modern art, nobody really gets me but I brighten every room I'm in.

Bruce is 110% Edward's source like

https://twitter.com/LukeEdwardsTele/status/1432647310589239299?s=20 So either Edwards is frantically trying to cover up his own incompetence, or he was told by Bruce this morning that Choudhury was signing, and the club have went behind Bruce's back and cancelled the loan move. As a man of honour I'm sure Bruce will be resigning in disgust.

'It's all kicking off'.

Don't think it will matter too much mate

wasn't me.

Spot on, has absolutely fucking zero credibility imo. Equally as shit at his job as his fellow piss head mate Bruce is at his. Even if we are in for players it’ll be something like Hamza Choudrey on loan, or some other shite player on loan, I think Choudrey has played less than 30 games in 4 seasons. We’ve had fucking months to bring in other teams reserve players on loan. Wonder what’s happening with the Henry Mauriss deal?

I’m fairly sure someone on here once took a day off work for transfer deadline day. What a monumental waste of a day off when Mike Ashley owns your club. The thrill of they will he/won’t he saga, for some bang average midfielder who has played a grand total of about 25 mins in the last two years, has me on the edge my seat. What a totally fucking pointless football club we are.

Let the players down that he spent all of last season blaming and in one case, started on?

edwards wouldn't unsterstand the concept of it getting dark on a nighttime.

@Howay @Ayatollah Hermione both spot on. caulkin's talking bollocks. never has a club deserved to be relegated more. hope we do a swansea and I get back to supporting a real, phoenix nufc.

Geronimo. Rip sweet prince.

Luke Edwards with THE FACTS

In 2001 the Taliban had already made their name being islamist extremists when they destroyed the statues of Barmyan. They were also known to harbour and fund terrorists, including bin Laden and al Qaida, even before 9/11. The multinational attempt to topple the Taliban and to get hold of bin Laden and al Qaida was just a logical consequence of those terrorist attacks and totally justified in comparison to other actions in the aftermath of 9/11.

After he fled Afganistan when military forces entered the country after 9/11.

Nobody mentioned Iraq but yeah that was bollocks. Afghanistan wasn’t…..but mission creep, the needs of industrial/military complex, failure to truly understand the tribal nature of the country and how democracy is virtually impossible in such a society, the duality of Pakistan and the abysmally chaotic exit all added to the the utter futility of the 20 year campaign. Going in was in 2001 was required, appropriate and justified though. Pity they didn’t find Bin Laden at that point. Things could’ve been very different if they had…

And what did Iraq have to do with it again? The whole thing was ridiculous, just posturing for the US domestic market. Created ISIS and probably led to thousands of deaths on European soil as a result, America itself being relatively well insulated. Maybe its best the US do give up on this war malarkey, they're not much good at it.

I'm not aware that I'm blocked by anyone important tbh

Me but he's on pretty thin ice let me tell you.

Someone should bring back The Pink, but with the last page on brown paper.

Not that pink

It could have been worse, you could have watched it live like me...

The Stones as musicians don’t seem technical geniuses on paper or anything but consider how many other bands have aped them and sounded shite, it makes you appreciate how they did it well. Obviously, there was the raft of great songs but the guitar interplay, playing what the songs needs rather than what you want to play, having an ear for hooks and an instinct when not to step over your band mate. All that sort of thing is the good musicianship you learn after you’ve learned the flashy shit. Something like Beggars Banquet sounds like a trashy blues band in a dive bar and sounds like it’s about to collapse on itself at any moment but nearly all of it is cooly performed and rehearsed. That takes some chops. Not to mention Keith Richards was off his tits on smack. They pumped out some shite as well, though

@essembeeofsunderland also, turning your back as someone is shooting is not simply an act of self-preservation it has historically been part of making yourself big with built in plausible deniability - ie. You turn your back so that it is perpendicular to the trajectory of the ball and extend your arms outwards casting the largest possible surface area to block or deflect the ball. If it strikes your arm then it couldn't possibly have been hand to ball as your back was turned. Of course with the introduction of new rules for natural position of hands this is no longer applicable, so it's muscle memory from learned behaviour that causes players to do this. It's really nowhere near as big an issue as you make out and has little to do with cowardice.

They could have retained air support in the interim

6 months later, his “mates” from Metector Club will dig him up again.

I was at a funeral yesterday. Turned up early and the doors opened to allow the last service to leave, and, I shit you not, they were absolutely blasting LMFAO'S "I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT" as the deceased's send-off.

I might hop on…

Locked down and Brucey - you really have been a naughty boy
