Desperate, compliant, 'local boy', no competition for him, deflector shield. 👍

Well, it’s one additional player who will get accused of cowardice.

Because The Fat Cunt knew we’d hate him.

Meanwhile, manager who actually gives a fuck about his club:

He’s apparently been away on holiday in Portugal, making the most of the international break where we have 5 players away with the rest of the squad still in training. There’s people actually defending him over it on Twitter as well he only got back from a nice long summer of doing absolutely fuck all, and since then we’ve lost every game, breaks like this would typically be a good time to work with the squad, then again it’s probably the best training they’ve had while that shambolic cunt is away. Why on Earth was he hired? It just completely confuses me, it’s not like he was even a cheap option.

Paul Parker ex Man U defender speaking about Ronaldo playing in the game on Saturday “A lot of those Geordie fans cannot believe their luck that they’ve got a ticket for this and all of a sudden it’s turned into a festival.” What fucking planet is this guy on 🤣 Aye, I'm sure seeing Ronaldo make his second debut will take the sting off him helping Man U most likely hammer us five or six, and the general depression around Ashley and Bruce. Of course this is a perfect illustration of how much we've declined in the minds of the football community. Parker seems to think we're equivalent to a Stevenage, just happy to bask in the limelight of Ronaldo and co.

Canny euphemism that like.

According to nufc.com Bruce does have a three year rolling contract with 4m to be paid when he gets sacked. If that’s correct it’s even more stupid than the club’s transfer statement. That’s quite an achievement tbh

Is “Geordie Ruviera” as bad as “English Tapas”? Overheard some daft twat utter that particular parcel of fuckin shite in the pub earlier….anyway, Alnmouth is utterly glorious as usual….

This is an insane story. Jean-Pierre Adams: Former France international dies after 39 years in coma https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58463792 “Former France footballer Jean-Pierre Adams, who had been in a coma for 39 years, has died at the age of 73. Adams was admitted to hospital for knee surgery in March 1982 but never regained consciousness after an error with his supply of anaesthetic. Born in Senegal, the defender made more than 140 appearances for Nice and also played for Paris St-Germain. In a statement, PSG said Adams' "joie de vivre, charisma and experience commanded respect". Nice said the club would pay tribute to Adams - who won 22 caps for France between 1972-1976 - before their next home game against Monaco on 19 September. Adams also made 84 appearances for Nimes, who said they were sending their "most sincere condolences to his loved ones and his family". On the day of Adams' operation to repair a damaged tendon in his knee - suffered while on a coaching training camp - many staff at the hospital in Lyon were on strike. His operation still went ahead, with the anaesthetist looking after eight patients, including Adams, at the same time. Adams was supervised by a trainee, who later said: "I was not up to the task I was entrusted with." Between the anaesthetist and trainee, numerous errors were made, causing Adams to suffer a cardiac arrest and brain damage. It wasn't until the mid-1990s that the anaesthetist and trainee were punished - a one-month suspended sentence and a 750 euro fine. Adams was discharged from hospital after 15 months and had been cared for at home in Nimes by his wife, Bernadette, ever since. 'Remarkable devotion' Piers Edwards, BBC Sport Africa Bernadette Adams is a remarkable woman, a gentle but steely soul who never once considered turning off her husband's life support machine despite his vegetative state. For four decades, she has spent nearly every day caring for Jean-Pierre, changing his clothes, preparing his food, never forgetting to give him presents and often talking to him too. The response was of course silence from a man once described as "larger than life" (and whose skills were highly rated by German football legend Franz Beckenbauer) yet nurses reported slight mood changes on the rare occasions Bernadette went away for a night or two. I visited the Adams home in southern France in 2016 whereupon Bernadette explained the hospital had never apologised for an accident which she could not help thinking about every day.” edit; more in this CNN article https://edition.cnn.com/2016/01/04/football/football-jean-pierre-adams-coma/index.html

Brucey will enjoy the festival.No matter how many we concede,a beaming smile from the buffoon will be on show at the end when he’s shaking Ole’s hand.’Look,hey,they were a good team before they signed Ronaldo.We’ll have to put it down to a bad day at the office ( 6 v 0 ) and dust wahselves down.As for Alain’s ‘injury’.well,it’s too soon to say how serious it is’.

CT shedding tears of pride.

FUCK. RIGHT. OFF.

Thanks. Fish taught me everything I know.

Two goalkeepers it is.

Fuck off, we don't get much of an evening as it is. Little bugger is often singing Hakuna Matata after 9pm.

Insufficient interest from other managers? A staggering misunderstanding of the fanbase?

FYP

It can only be good for the squad and the tictacal … err … tacital … err this sort of training where you tell players to do clever things on the pitch when Brucey isn’t involved.

Is he getting enough screen time?

Can’t we use the £350 million a week we’re saving now we’re not in the EU?

Put him to bed later

Patience young grasshopper.

South American football having a totally normal one tonight. Brazil vs Argentina in a World Cup qualifier. Argentina have 4 players who should be missing the match through quarantine. They started them anyway. Match got abandoned in 7mins as the Brazilian health authority wandered onto the pitch and told the 4 players they were being deported

This is from one of Lamarr's radion shows, not sure if it's the same one as Alex posted?

In the same vein @Alex was giving all this a go the other night...just stunning

I’ve never seen “pissed” spelt that way before.

He's not angry. He's incredulous.

Chill out lads…

‘Look lads, we’d love to have spent more but the squad was so shite that we couldn’t get a single penny for any of the 18 players who left’. How can they claim that their past frugal approach was correct and has allowed them more flexibility in future windows yet the extent of that flexibility was one £20m signing and not enough for even a single loan signing?

I wonder how much of the depleted fund they paid for him to video this. Fucking excruciatingly embarrassing this ex-Football club is now under the current management.

Think my reply to their tweet with the actor who played Santiago was the catalyst tbh.

Jesus wept Do they think we aren’t paying attention to the other 19 clubs in the league?

The next step should be expulsion from the tournament. This isn't a case of a small minority directing racist abuse, it's a large percentage of the Hungarians. Make them footballing pariahs and see how they like that.

FIFA are a joke mind. Hungary have a ban from fans attending UEFA competitions for racism/homophobia etc and FIFA seemed to think it shouldn’t apply to their matches. Idiots

Professor Plum.

No age that like
