Howay

The 60m still just seems so low to me, given the high numbers all the “football finance” crew threw around in January. There was also a 20m payment into the club that was some kind of FFP loophole (can put 60m in that way over a 3 year period without it counting against FFP iirc), so that would mean ignoring that workaround under FFP we’d only have 40m available to spend? Just seems so low compared to the way others spend, including newly promoted sides.

They thought they were on a poor run at least, Bruce has opened their eyes to what is possible given absolute focus on doing fuck all.

I just don’t get how anyone can defend him in any way. Legitimately every fan base of every club he’s been at have exactly the same complaints about how their team plays, their lack of fitness, massive downturn in form etc yet there’s this need to blame the players first by some fan bases. I know our fan base also put some blame on the players but Bruce was always the clear main issue.

I saw one of them mention Pardew was better for them, totally forgot that particular member of the old manager compo club managed them and wondered how he got on: “On 29 November 2017, Pardew was appointed as the new manager of Premier League club West Bromwich. In his debut game in charge, the club drew 0–0 at The Hawthorns, against his previous club Crystal Palace. On 2 April 2018, West Bromwich Albion and Pardew mutually parted company after he had been manager for four months. At the time Albion had gone 10 games without a win, were on a run of eight successive defeats and were bottom of the Premier League.” sounds marginally better than Bruce tbf. How the fuck do these blokes keep getting jobs?

iirc there was a considerable amount of them on twitter and other places joining in the “no clue what Newcastle fans whinge about him for” sentiment when he signed for them. They deserve him for a while longer yet, similarly he deserves to have to have some type of obligation to earn his inevitable pay off even if it is just turning up to their matches.

Why would Burnley losing to Southampton calm him down? We’d still not be mathematically safe, which seems the only possible way he’d be happy we won’t go down if he doesn’t feel safe at the point we are now, which is that Burnley need 4 wins from 7 games to overtake us.

They’re on one today, jlaws knows everything because he’s worked with the PiF.

Aye it’s class. I absolutely despise this new trend on social media of “you celebrated like winning the CL”, it was leveled at us when we beat Burnley, and at Everton when they beat us, etc.

Spot on. It’s so fucking weird that on RTG they have this need to blame absolutely everything on others. If one of their fans had punched a horse, or put Saudi flags/defended that regime on social media they’d all be absolutely convinced it was sad mags pretending they were lads fans.

Fucking hell

Agreed he was really good today, he’s looked really solid in general recently but today was possibly his best performance for us. I think he’s more than earned his spot ahead of Manquillo.

“The security facilities were second to none; from a little box at the back of the stand police were able to focus with precision cameras on any seat within the ground. The access ways had been designed to evacuate the stadium in the shortest time possible” Any other fucking bog standard features no one gives a fuck about does he care to mention? They plonked a flat pack, boring stadium in the middle of a fucking desolate bit of land it was never ever close to being one of the best even when it was brand new ffs. I’ve been in Quinn’s bar too and it’s a fucking eyesore, tacky horrible bright red with chrome everywhere. They have such an inflated opinion of their club, they’re a totally fucking irrelevant club and have been that for the modern era. It’s something like two or three games in Europe in their entire history, they should just embrace and enjoy their time in League one tbh as that’s around about their level.

Btw, I love that when a few Newcastle fans post on there it’s absolute iron clad proof “the mags are obsessed” meanwhile they actually have a match thread for every single one of our games complete with both teams line ups, predictions, and they all watch. But you can see how a bloke going on there to have a pop is obsessed

They could face Leicester U18’s and I’m sure Lampard would make a disaster of it, before putting 100% of the blame on his players.

How many times were we told no one had ever survived from the position we were in? And he’s not only kept the team up but could possibly finish top half .

It’s absolutely mind blowing that we didn’t win a game until December and are now 3 points off 9th with 6 games to go

Have to create chances to score Brendan, he had the same complaint when his Swansea side come to St James and passed it back and forth in the centre circle and went on to lose.

How many games did we come back to win after going a goal down under Bruce? We might have already done it more times under Howe

After watching ASM and Joelinton both sky it about 4 times each I can’t blame him. I agree it’s a mix of this plus as Polarboy said he played deeper for Lyon with Pacqueta playing ahead, whereas I think Shelvey sits deeper now.

Of course Leicester were the better side in a game both sides should have been awarded 0 points. I’d love to see how much better in quality their games are every week. It was a bit of a dead rubber (although shouldnt have been for them, so maybe chalk that up to our press and shape stopping their moves) and I think a draw was likely the “fair result” but for all their possession they had 2 shots on target to our 7, so the mackems can whinge we were “flukey” but we looked more dangerous for the entire game and made our chances count. Leicester can’t feel hard done by here imo.
