Howay

Tell you what, how fucking class is it that Howe is doing such a demolition job on the PL that this thread, once reserved for bed wetting and filling of kegs, is now used for laughing at Evertons hopes of survival and arguing about xG. Just need to batter Hassenbitch and his gaggle of losers and we will be miles clear of the rubble.

That’s even more evidence against the whole “he’s a really nice bloke” narrative. On a totally unrelated note I really want to buy a Jag now.

Tremendous Is this the genuine cover? It almost makes me want to read it to find out why it has the maddest cover in the history of books. The computer generated bloke next to Bruce looks equally confused by it.

He drew with the Steve Bruce coached version of Newcastle . His argument makes fuck all sense regardless, but if he wants to go down the “it’s sooooo unfair” path is it not more unfair that his team would have got to have played us twice before January, whereas most others had one game before and one post? If any team could have complaint it would be Everton since they have to play us twice post January window.

Bit arrogant of those losers seeing us as rivals. They’ll be kicking rocks in mid table as Eddie’s boys set about the European chasers. Isn’t this type of clause fairly hard to enforce? Especially given the scarcity of positions for this type of role and the fact his former employer is basically blanket banning him from any job of that type in the UK (since any roles that they may allow him to take in lower leagues or the SPL would no doubt come with a large pay decrease). Surely that’s seen as an unenforceable clause? Of course that being said we could be trying to be nice to Brighton as Andrew said, but they can fuck right off seeing as they were in the block the Saudis and their sponsorships crew.

Aye, I can’t see them beating us or Wolves tbh. We will possibly have Bruno and ASM starting, both desperate to get into a side which has been winning every fucking game (the latter who absolutely ripped them to bits last time). They could draw those games but I don’t know how anyone could possibly predict Everton winning any fixture given their record. I said the same about us until we started looking good, no matter the opposition how can you predict a win for a team that have won 1 game under that manager? Let alone against one of the form sides in the league and the other is chasing Europe.

Lampard can’t organize a defence, he had all the pieces at Chelsea and they conceded goals for fun. As you say now they have poor players in defence, it’s really not the type of manger they needed - it was a bizarre choice as he was always going to be a gamble. They currently have Jonjoe Kenny, recently returned from loan at Celtic and is a workmanlike player, Nathan Patterson, recently bought from Rangers and is basically just a prospect, Mason Holgate, , Michael Keane, they bought the wrong Burnley CB, Yerry Mina, strong CB if a little hot headed and inconsistent, Mykolenko, new full back who Lampard doesn’t seem to rate, Ben Godfrey, Championship defender, Coleman, good player clearly in his twilight years (also how have they spent 500m and not brought in someone that genuinely competes with him?), Jarrad Braithwaite, another prospect. I know people say they have too much quality to go down but honestly looking at that defence they have hardly any talent there, Mina is good and Keane is serviceable but the latter is out of any sort of form. Layer in the above point that Lampard had a defence like Chelsea’s looking leaky as fuck and they’re in real fucking trouble. Someone else is going to have to step up and finish mid table. What will the Premier League do without their [placeholder since they have no identifiable way of playing] style of football?

It’s just a good thing they brought in Alli and Van De Beek, two lads who have really looked up for the relegation fight.

Agree 100%. There’s no way back for any of them, I’ve got zero time for any of those mentioned. They’ll be desperate to get involved and be seen in a similar way to many of the old Man City players are seen but nah. Trotted out fucking tired stereotypes for years like deluded Geordie’s etc, lauded how clubs like Everton and Aston Villa are massive and we are a waste of time. Apparently Bilic started that little piece off by saying how he doesn’t like Newcastle, these people genuinely think we give a fuck. Who cares what Bilic says? Stop talking about us then, but they can’t the same way as they couldn’t for the prior 14 years.

I always used to laugh at them wearing them to the metro centre. Full families dressed in their Tombola finest “mak shooaah yi got the wun wiff catts on the back Callum, the mags will be fewmin when tha see wu pocketing things in boots wearin that”.

While it is clearly made up since it didn’t take place in Benidorm, the fact they love stories like that then go on about being classy is fucking hilarious. “Ah wuz on me hols and just assaulted this bloke cos eee wuz wearin a top tha looked like a maggie wun, turns out 100 Lazio fans saw iz do it and they’re all MLF and bought iz 10 pints, said they fuckin hate Newcastle as well”. Imagine being a grown man and thinking smacking another bloke with a plastic sword then screaming six in a rooaahhh at him is a mint story.

Remember when Bruce went on a holiday during the first international break, about a month into the season despite having basically the entire squad available for training, and the media actually defended him .

I couldn’t not search for that thread after reading that. It’s just as bewildering as the first time I saw it. https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/nice-story-from-yesterday.1557291/ Decided to read further this time, they’re all sharing their class stories.

Apparently Howe gave them a bit of a bollocking after the game, what a difference it makes when it’s not enough to win a game.

Make it nice and melty plus save 20p

“Here marras this proves William is the real deal, he’s a MLF and obviously getting heavy hitters like Google to join his consortium, I for one will be having a monster portion of cheesy chips and Tesco’s finest special brew (the one I’ve kept under my sofa for three year to let it age) to celebrate”

Mental run, even when having a fairly poor game we pulled off the win. This turnaround has been absurd, I give Howe all the credit in the world as the change in these players has been spectacular. We’ve went from a team who has no wins in something like 12 games and 1 at Xmas to being in a position where if we win Thursday we will be 4 points and a game in hand from 9th

Through his original business of selling rubber ducks?

The people gushing on the actual post by Wraith btw. Loads leaping to his defence any time people have a go about him ripping teenage lads off by saying “it’s for charity”, just donate the fucking money then, why applaud that oxygen thief for an attention grabbing stunt? Twitter is brutal like, the “personalities” on it especially. Wraith, that So Cal Geordie attention seeker, among others are particularly annoying. There’s some good ones too mind, even Sav Mondo is good value sometimes simply for all the entertainment value reading the desperate bastards that fawn over any of her thirst trap posts.

Spot on. They question why any Newcastle fan would take pleasure in Bruce further proving how shit he is and then go on to say “Newcastle fans treat him harshly” “he had a similar record to Benitez who is lauded as some type of God up there” (after Ambrose literally just explained the outside factors for his 13th place finish, and again what’s with their weird hatred of Benitez in their defence of Bruce? Rafa is well liked but he won’t go down as some club legend by any means), before then blaming West Brom fans by saying “the decline had already started before he got there” and “West Brom fans are always quick to turn on their manager”, those quotes are your fucking answer lads it’s years of frustration from being talked about like we’re a bunch of fucking maniacs who cannot see what is an absolutely fantastic manager for some bizarre reason. It’s fucking vindication, but still in the face of a fucking 0% win record in nearly an ENTIRE calendar year they make excuse after excuse. It honestly must feel like this if you were a character in Inception the feeling that you’ve completely lost the fucking plot as you’re stood going “I mean he’s very clearly absolutely terrible right?” And everyone in the media goes “you’re a nasty piece of work he’s an excellent manager, doing an amazing job, and is an absolutely amazing human being”. I also cannot accept the “he’s a nice guy” angle, there’s no evidence I can see at all to support that. Yes he has mates in the game and he is probably nice to them, but this is a man who was needlessly abusive to reporters going so far as to essentially try and have Hope lose his job, was disrespectful and insulting towards Howe for no reason whatsoever, and is known to be a slum landlord. Sorry like the bloke is a fucking cunt.

I suppose given her background and who she is involved with that’s about all she can say to avoid making it a big stink, and fall into possible lawsuits/barrage of questions. Of course it could also be her actual personal opinion, neither reality would surprise me. Unfortunately we are owned by cunts, I honestly have a hard time with happy clapper trust fund boy Reuben let alone the fucking Saudis , but as I’ve said in the past it’s out of my hands, I turn a blind eye to deplorable things elsewhere in my life like where my phone comes from, where the energy that powers everything I consume comes from, so I suppose adding the source of my football entertainment to that list is just a natural progression. Totally understand there are others that may draw the line here and walk away, it’s just how I’m personally squaring the circle. The FA, PL, UEFA, FIFA, and every other footballing body would crawl through miles of glass to get access to all this blood money, so unfortunately nothing is ever changing no matter how many articles people write about this being some turning point. The same Chelsea fans who were berating our takeover were saying they hope the PiF bin us off to buy Chelsea, the same way Inter Milan fans keep fabricating stories of the PiF taking them over, so I guess if it wasn’t us it would be happening elsewhere so in that sense it might as well be us. I’m still fairly sure Abramovic putting Chelsea up for sale is all a show anyway, it might work unless Putin follows his invasion of Ukraine up with steaming head first into Moldova “to protect the rights of separatists in Transnistria” or whatever total fucking bollocks he comes out with.

Yeah in that case perhaps not. Maybe this ties in with it being a bit of a show from Abramovic? Offer the club to a bunch of billionaires who might publicly state they’ve been offered the club to legitimize that it’s really for sale. I am just not sure why anyone would buy for the price that’s doing the rounds, which is why I question Abramovic’s level of intent. Obviously football clubs don’t make the money for them to be worth that, so you’re left with the ‘sports washing’ types, but is it even great for them? I would assume taking a club and completely rebuilding/recreating it as a success e.g. PSG/Manchester City would be more in line with their aims. I guess that would leave the extremely wealthy that want a play thing? But that’s an insanely limited group as even for people like Wyss it’s a huge part of their net worth. Maybe a consortium could pay that, but then you’re back to why would they since it’s very unlikely you gain financially from it and don’t have the prestige that a sole owner does. It’s a fucking weird situation.

He’s one of them where I sometimes assume he’s on the wind up, but his takes are just so ridiculous that they couldn’t really wind anyone up so the logical conclusion is he’s just thick. Maybe he legitimately thinks that by moving in any way, despite putting no pressure on the damaged foot, that Trippier is impeding recovery? Not like football clubs have team doctors and physios, or people with basic fucking common sense, that know Tripper traveling to a game doesn’t harm his recovery in any way. No wonder he was such a shite player if his idea of recovery was to just sit in front of the Telly.
