Give peace and the players a chance. Our frustrations shouldn't be taken out on them, they're not going to sparkle with confidence if we're giving them Joselu abuse. Haven't even kicked a ball yet. Let's see how shite they are in a week or so time when we've had a couple of games to base our negativity on. Ashley is still a wanker.

Geordie spine right through the team now. Bruce, Carroll, Colback, Longstaffs, Dummett. Shepherd will be dancing on his own grave.

Ashley is paying his wages so I couldn't give a fuck what he's getting paid. It's probably good it's incentivised so he can push for fitness. Certainly not had any luck with injury but we've had bigger wastes of money here. I'd have preferred a midfielder, Drinkwater on loan would have been ideal but if he gets fit then he might be a good addition

I'm not going.

He looks to be a bit more useful than what the 7 goals suggests. Seems to be more of a no10 rather than a target man. Ashley sticking two fingers up at Rafa with this one.

I've got nowt against Bruce, his departure from Sheffield Wednesday might be unsavoury but he obviously believes beyond everyone else that he can be a success. Before we have even kicked a ball we've all condemned him including myself. He sounds like a decent bloke, I haven't heard a bad word against him as a person, just that he's not what we need at this time. Ashley has absolutely set him up as a buffer to take the flak. Rafa was Teflon and the fans rightly supported him, directing any abuse straight at Ashley and Charnley. Bruce however, will be scrutinised by the media and the fans from the off. We will all be saying told you so and no doubt he will get dogs abuse from the stands. Yes, he knows what he is letting himself in for, but his appointment is subterfuge for Ashley, having a puppet at the reigns who won't criticise him in pressers, who will stand there taking it game after game when things go badly and will inevitably be the fall guy when it finally unravels. Boycott Arsenal needs to turn into Boycott Watford, Boycott Brighton, Boycott Man Utd and beyond before Ashley gets it into his dumb skull that he cannot continue to treat the fanbase with such contempt and still take a profit. I suspect this season will be interesting for all the wrong reasons, least of all the football.

I'd give Caroll a pay as you play contract but definitely wouldn't salary him. He'll give you a handful of games at best.

Surely that'll improve things? I've never been so underwhelmed since Kinnear

Great news. Looking forward to next year's Championship scrap already when we might actually win a few games

Bit unfair on Hughton. Hes a decent manager and seems a nice bloke. The rest however, have a long list of clubs where they've done fuck all.. At this stage I'd sooner have Pards than Allardyce or Bruce. That's how desperate the situation is.

Asset stripping again. This lot have no shame. Don't worry though lads, we've got a healthy youth acad......oh wait.

You can get 9/2 at coral, I've just put some on. Happy to lose it if our fortunes turn but sincerely doubt it.

Great game, great atmosphere, great result.

I was hoping for a lofty 12th. No chance now. Sky fapping over the hammers

Yeah like I have. Whilst im about innocent until proven guilty, there's more than a whiff about it. If it does go ahead, I suspect that the crowd will be less than full capacity.

Got what he deserves. Been brilliant these last few games. It's like watching a different team!

Incredible finish. Loves to hoof it

Need to hammer these now

Most exciting half all season.

Had more chances this game than we probably had in the last 3 or 4 matches combined!

Why does Schar seem to twat it every time?

0-0 written all over this

Harsh on Dubravka. Yes, its 50/50 as to whether he failed to catch it as he was being pushed down or those arms just came over the top. He didnt look like he got up for it in time however, he kept us in it with some outstanding stops. Looking at the positives, Longstaff played excellent once again, Almiron looked lively and Hayden seemed to grow in confidence following the goal. We've got players coming back, some competition for places and there was no sign of the Jos tonight

Looks like it. Rafa had the ref incensed there.

Dubravka.... absolutely excellent all game until the last minute.
