Coincidentally, the walk up the wooded dene to get there is rife with mushrooms just now

Cunt knew what he was getting into and still has the cheek to swipe at rafa.

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.

Watching Por v Ire and heard the commentator say ‘it’s Cristiano Ronaldo up against Jeff Hendrick’ and thought it was the most absurd line I’ve ever heard then remembered it’s pretty much nailed on what we’re going to see in our next match.

“Wetherspoons said its problems had been caused by industrial action by Heineken drivers working for GXO Logistics. However, the Unite union said this was not possible as no industrial action had taken place.”

One player in, 18 out.

Looks like CT's 3am trickle to me.

Even Edwards probably realises his mate is an incompetent mercenary who has been riding his luck. The idea Bruce has been shafted and is staying on for noble reasons is just Edwards getting his excuses in early

The 5 fat little bastards that live out the back from me are far from innocent.

Thats more of a fuckin prison sentence rather than a loan deal…..6 months on remand in Durham is probably more fun

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?

The lick spittle’s lick spittle

MF inadvertently letting on where the bodies are

If your ankle is really buggered and she's really upset it'll be a wanking holiday in Devon

Munoz is 19 not 17, but why do your job to any level of competency? This tramp is the very definition of phoning it in. By the way how fucking long has it taken the club to sign this youth player? Feels like this has been in the works a similar length of time it took them to sign Willock.

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.

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

Not now Dave, we're grieving.

Wetherspoons runs low on beer amid driver shortage https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58395401

Willock is an installment deal to be paid over 3 years iirc, so factoring in the sales we had as well as 40% of Armstrong’s iirc £25m fee (well £23m profit if you take out the £2m Blackburn paid us for him originally) we basically turned a profit in the window. Aye and we also got around £200k a week off the book in wages . They have absolutely fucking zero excuses other than wanting to chance survival for as little as possible, and having absolute idiots running both the football and non football sides. Not sure where the pundits are on this but are we allowed to complain about Ashley yet? And if so is that only to take pressure and responsibility from their darling Bruce? I will gladly fucking slate both of them.

Well seeing as I can’t see it I’m suggesting it’s fuckin shite compared with Davidson’s Linn

Can't remember Mourinho or Guardiola praising their owners to the hilt every time they make a signing? Must just be the Grimer Wormtongue class of manager who does it like Pardew and Bruce?

It’s Hareshaw Linn, just outside Bellingham.

I'm booked for a walking holiday in Devon from Friday. Caught my ankle in a tree trunk out walking last week and still can't put any weight on it The missus is fuming I would have added a picture of gruesome bruising and swelling but the site won't let me.

Malcolm?

And par for the course in places like Iraq, Palestine and Afghanistan. In conflicts like this the innocent greatly outnumber the guilty when it comes to suffering and death.

I see the US have torched 5 innocent kids with a missile to take out 1 terrorist. Raab was interviewed about it earlier today and asked if the West had a guilty conscience (or words to that effect). He replied that it's the terrorist who should feel guilty for standing next to innocent people. We've learned fuck all. Radicalising a new generation of jihadi's 48 hours after ending a 20 year war to fight the last lot

( are the pics not showing, or have you just got a bag on your head?).

wasn't me.

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

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

More U-Turns than a Tory government.

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.

Edwards once again showing how little he knows about the sport he covers.

@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.

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

I'm Llamaenting Geronimo's passing

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

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

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'.

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

Don't think it will matter too much mate

I did Slight Side and Scafell from Eskdale this morning. I expect to ge walking like John Wayne for the next day or 3.
