"Yeah, not getting dragged into this endless NUFC twitter Steve Bruce thing but, WHAT'S THIS?! Bruce has them in midtable just like he had Newcastle in midtable EXACTLY THE SAME AS MIGHTY RAFA so I don't know what else to add to this debate which is now getting a bit boring. Move on Newcastle fans. Another beer? Don't mind if I do. How'd Newcastle get on? I don't know, I haven't covered them for a few weeks now. Boosh!"

Superb if chilling read. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/02/28/world-war-iii-already-there-00012340

The thing with Trump is, everything he did/didn't do during his presidency can be viewed, and was based, entirely on "what does this do for me personally?". There were no military interventions because it was of no benefit to him personally. He was however more than happy to stoke violence against his detractors in his own country, and give words of support to those acting violently on his behalf. See also tax cuts for the incredibly wealthy, appointing stooges at the DoJ, the list is fucking endless. We haven't seen any previous presidents try to fraudulently overthrow an election either btw. If he didn't do some of the stuff we've seen from presidents in the past, this wasn't because he's a great man, it's because he couldn't see what was in it for him.

That would be since the last major domestic trophy. This is the sort of trap you can easily fall into if you’ve only been into football / NUFC for 5 minutes

When your parents buy you something shit for Xmas so you go and play with your mates toys instead.

Christ that was hard to watch.

Only they could possibly get excited about that. Trust fund kid attends event ffs, reading into it like “he’s getting our name out there mixing with big teams and talking us up” - what the fuck does that even mean? What would talking them up even do? Do they think that’s what got Manchester City to where they are now, just randomly have their owners hang about places other owners would be to “talk them up”? Staggering stupidity. They just have to accept reality, they’re just a no mark lower league side. No one gives a fuck about them besides Newcastle fans having a laugh about them. The highlight of their recent footballing history is rotting out the bottom of the top division, but aye massive club. Will the effects of mammys boy talking them up help next season? Or should we wait a while?

There's something not right with him to the point it's unsettling. When he did that dancing video I half-expected him to raise his arms at ten-to-two with his tadger tucked between his legs.

Sitter, obvs.

I said exactly that when he posted it- he’s on a solo pub-crawl. Fucking Billy No Mates.

legend in the making

I hope they get to enjoy him for a while longer then. They don’t get off the hook after 6 games or whatever it is, being on the side of “he’s treat harshly” after we had him for 2.5 YEARS! Hope he’s there for ages, Brummy cunts.

It’s hard to see where he goes from here. If he fails in Ukraine he is humiliated. If he succeeds then his country continues to face financial ruin. To go into Ukraine in the first place was a bizarre decision. It’s lose/lose for him.

Absolutely horrific to live in Kyiv and have a live view of a 40 mile long procession of vehicles that are on their way to, at a minimum, irreversibly change your life, and at worst, to end it. Fuck Putin and his enablers. I hope this twat meets the most grisly end imaginable.

Oh here we go, so you think Trump won the election then. I mean, I'm out. I'm not going to engage with QAnon conspiracy theories and the Big Lie. But just to be clear, Biden didn't inspire all those votes for him, Trump inspired the votes against him. Because, and I cannot stress this enough, he was absolutely fucking terrible at being President.

Aye my lass came home from work just in time for the penalties and just looked utterly disgusted.

Just finished reading it, a superb interview indeed. It got me thinking though about all the good work Putin has done to sow misinformation and bullshit on both sides of the political spectrum. My (hard-core leftwing) friend absolutely and fundamentally believes that this is on NATO. And then you go over to the right wing YouTube community and that's what they're all saying too. I pointed out to my friend that he was basically agreeing with Farage and he just gave me the "even a stopped clock" line, but the reality is this isn't a twice a day issue. It's almost every issue. The left and the right are uniting in their backlash against the international order that has kept us at peace for over half a century, and they're both too blind to realise that they are now absolutely two sides of the same coin. In fact, people on both sides have started telling me that there is no left and right anymore, it's all just freedom versus control. And like, maybe that's true - but if it is, it's because both sides have lined up in close proximity to Putin - without even realising it I might add. Their talking points have been sown for years by agents of disruption and misinformation. That's what Cadwalldr was saying, that's what Fiona Hill is saying. So that's why they think there's no left or right anymore, because there isn't. There's just propaganda. Neither side trusts the government except over sacred cow style issues, and neither side is prepared to listen to reason. Putin owns both the brexit voting accidental destroyers of Western liberalism, along with the communism demanding, intentional destroyers of Western liberalism (due to their belief that behind the psychotic and murderous eyes of Putin lies a cuddly figure who only wants a fair world). Useful idiots, IMO. Anyway, hard to imagine how we even break out of this.

Pretty underwhelming response to Newcastle's first trophy in 67 years.

Clinton Morrison would suit Arsenal fans TV Ya get me fam Reported myself

I'm sure all his numerous friends that totally went for a pint with him think he's great. That photo He's clearly launched himself from the phone lent against a bar stool, across the room, and he's dove into the chair just as the timer's gone off, somehow getting off the last millisecond finger guns. I wonder how many attempts it took him while the rest of the pub wondered what the fuck the chunky loner was playing at.

Chelsea's Thomas Tuchel voices frustration over Roman Abramovich questions - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/60577456 They fucking don't like it do they eh? Different when it's aimed at small. Newcastle though eh

The kid with the suit on and his phone out enjoying a game of football and getting carried away no doubt especially after having attended some of Sunderland's games, must be like going from Hiroshima after the bomb dropped to a glimpse of paradise. Odds on he'll get a Liverpool shirt.

It's tipped me over the edge actually. Got my Dad's funeral on Thursday, so much to organise and realised I literally can't usefully function at my job any more at the moment. Work have been brilliant and given me compassionate leave for the rest of the week, but I worry I'm not exactly making a great impression less than one year in. It has motivated me to see the GP (again), me and probably thousands of others. I also just hate the normalisation of lying in politics. Trump, Putin, Johnson, all lying cunts. I mean nobody really believed Putin when he claimed these were just exercises, but still the blatant lying is disgusting. There's no trust left in the world.

It isn’t just possible it’s the logical conclusion to years of corruption. Money meant for the armed forces has been stolen on a massive scale by those in charge. Putin allowed it as long as they helped him hold power and what tge hell no one is stupid enough to invade Russia right. The Ukraine was supposed to roll over very quickly, they weren’t supposed to be this well organised so it didn’t matter you were sending troops under paid with dodgy gear snd no fuel because it will only take 2-3 days maximum. Now it’s all starting to fall apart and like I said ages ago this will mean the end of Putin. Russia can put up with a lot of things but failure isn’t one of them.

They are in cloud cuckoo land if they think he’ll walk. That man does not quit a well paid job for anyone.

Gwan Leicester

That and he doesn’t even have a controlling interest in the club

If it hasn't happened since 7th October 2021, it hasn't happened.

At this point I think we can conclude it takes a certain level of pariah-inducing social deviancy to like Steve Bruce. Sounds about right.

That’s right, he’s seen the club, the fans and the town first hand and, on that basis, he wants bugger all to do with them now

Never happened but there was mancs, Mags, forest and Leeds in there but it never happened and when it didn't happen the Mancs/mags/forest and Leeds fans got absolutely battered despite not being there. Loud and clear, marras.

I’d be straight over there chinning him and playing seven nation army is his face. Dude isn’t even a black belt in taekwondo anymore. Soft as shite.

That photo, btw. It only really makes sense if he’s in the pub on his own and put a timer on his phone to take it. The weird angle / pose, the almost empty table, his not looking at the camera like he was caught slightly off guard etc. What a weirdo.

Gemmil’s grandson maybe.

Is that Gemmill on the left?

First they came for the paedo apologists, but I did not speak out because I was not a paedo apologist.

Aye, I was reading that thread this morning. At least there's an admission from a couple of them that they thought he was harshly treated here but can now see why we felt the way we did.

Double bubble pay off in the Bruce household this time now he's roped his spoilt brat along for free ride.

Cheap aftershave, stale fags, and loneliness?

My ex's standard order from the Chinese was portion of chips, portion of fried rice, and a carton of curry sauce. I had to veto that bullshit out of sheer embarrassment. Or shear embarrassment as Renton would say.

There's a very long chain of command between Putin saying fire a nuke and the person who pushes the button, it would be a first strike, and I am in the school of thought that someone in that chain of command would stop it. (as it was stopped in the cold war by a Colonel - he may even have been a captain).
