Howay

Cracking pen tbf and good play to win the pen.

What we deserve that. Another game where we aren’t even going to bother trying to have any of the ball.

I’m at the point where it is actually starting to bother me . They genuinely can’t be watching our games, and looking at our results and genuinely think he’s doing a good job right? I almost just need them to admit he’s doing poorly but they’re all his mates. We went on a run of like 23 games without a win or something outrageous for fuck sake and these nob heads act like he’s hard done by. The fucker shouldn’t be in a job!

That would make more sense tbh.

They really don’t understand that the way they’re so abrasive and seek to shove it in people’s faces when things goes well has an impact on people’s attitude towards them when things are going bad. They’re taking the piss giving him that btw, no team did better than 2 wins and 2 draws? We didn’t even move a spot in the table in April did we? The guys still a fucking shite manager so I’m not sure why his thick son is acting like it’s some proof he’s good, also I’d been giving him the excuse he’s a lazy prick if he’s actually putting in long hours like his son says (he’s definitely not btw) that’s even more embarrassing when looking at the shambolic way the team play. As always I really can’t wait until this wanker is nothing to do with our club. “I know how much this job means to you” they realize simply repeating something doesn’t make it true.

Exactly. Imagine the coverage if Ole said similar things about Manchester United fans after a good win, you’d have the whole ex-yooooonoited pack of cunts on for a sky special to discuss how best to punish Ole. Say it about Newcastle fans and not only do they side with him, but it’s to the point where they don’t even see why any Newcastle fan could take issue with anything he said. Again I really wish this super league had happened.

Yup, and sure enough now Simon Jordan is laying into Newcastle fans off the back of the reaction to Bruce being a bellend. Not that anyone gives a flying fuck about Simon Jordan’s opinions on things, the blokes an arrogant waste of space it’s no shock he sides with Bruce.

I mean there’s no other way to take what he meant. Unless for some reason he meant Ashley’s expectations, in which case that would be staggering seeing as his expectations are 17th with not a single fuck given to the quality of football played. Just please fuck off Bruce. It does a lot to be as unliked as Allardyce and Pardew, but this bloke is managing that with ease.

What a gimp he is man, as I’ve said I hope everyone in the NE just stops bothering with his articles as he clearly has such disdain for the area. What other reason would he have to bring Parker up, other than to defend a bloke that’s been a below average manager for 20 year? I know he likes to pretend his scope is greater than NE football but tbh it’s not. It might sound harsh wanting the bloke to lose his job, but tbh the NE football community deserves better than this fucking loser. He’s clearly hit his ceiling as a journalist and is pissy about it, the bloke hasn’t broken a notable story in who knows how long despite two years of sucking Bruce off, so has now taken to simply trolling the fan base he’s supposed to be engaging positively with and building trust with. I honestly have more respect for Lee Ryder at this point and he’s a journalist that can’t spell check his own articles for fuck sake. Edwards now basically just posts a shite article coupled with a trolling tweet, then when people point out something from the tweet, headline, or synopsis he just retorts with some rehashed bullshit telling them to read the article in a snobby, arrogant tone. He’s an arrogant prick for someone that is clearly shit at his job. It would be far better having someone that’s excited at the opportunity to cover NE football, and actually work to produce interesting articles/genuine information, he conveniently forgets he acted like the Henry Mauriss bid was more credible than the Saudi one... His knowledge of football is also very poor for a bloke whose job is to literally talk about football. He’s acting like it’s insane for people to say they’d take Parker over Bruce, yet Parker got Fulham promoted which is something Bruce hasn’t done in fucking yonks (including when he had the most expensively assembled squad in Championship history), Parker is also working with a newly promoted side not one in their 4th season so Luke should be able to see that’s not a fair comparison, there’s also the fact that Parker doesn’t regularly embarrass himself and the club he represents, nor does he see a decent win as an opportunity to launch attacks on his own clubs fan base. I think Luke is also missing the point that people that are saying they’d take Parker over Bruce aren’t suggesting Parker is some brilliant manager, it’s further indictment of Bruce. If the bloke genuinely can’t see why the fan base has an issue with Steve Bruce then he’s beyond help.

He’s such a fucking wanker. He basically goes on and goes “I’m not sure why they don’t like me, they’ve been shite as long as this owner they inexplicably don’t like has been here, the fact they’re shite with me shouldn’t be a problem for them so I’ll just keep being shite” Cheers Steve, so no clue at all why a fan would hear that and not like you? I hope for his sake he’s just saying it and can understand why privately as if not it’s a miracle the bloke manages to have the cognitive ability to stuff the copious amounts of Mars bars and space raiders in his mouth that he does to keep himself going. Whenever it happens it’ll be fucking brilliant the day we see the back of this utter fucking plug and the monumental cunt that employed him.

Hilarious spelling errors aside what is their fucking obsession with being labeled the biggest in league one or the Championship (way back when they were in that)? Who fucking cares? They’ve won the square root of fuck all in donkeys years and are heading for potentially a 4th season in the third tier, what does it matter if they’re a “bigger club” than Bolton Wanderers their priorities and focuses are so bizarre.

I just saw there’s a good chunk of them on RTG telling themselves they enjoyed watching the Maggie bastards win yesterday as it’ll wind the mags up as Steve Bruce is manager. I don’t understand how they’ve been football fans for years but cannot see how it’s possible to dislike a manager, and hope that he is removed from his position, while at the same time wanting that side to win, I’m not begrudging Bruce credit for the win, he’s still a fucking shite manager but the performance was good yesterday.

Aye, just because we’re a far better club than their fucking shite one doesn’t mean we should just be buzzing. In terms of PL era football their highest finish is 7th iirc, and their best managers have been Steve Bruce and Sam Allardyce, of course they’d swap places with us .

Good performance throughout. Makes a nice change.

Clear as day as soon as Bruce could talk to them the plan was going to be to sit deep despite us having them on the back foot and playing positive.

Shelvey is such a fucking liability. Not a brain in his head.

I was completely wrong that we’d be second best here, so my prediction is that we will get humbled 2nd half and lose 3-2.

This is class, get in there Dummett.

Brilliant by Willock that

Good save but ASM should have put that one away. Good play and a decent start.

We will barely touch the ball against this lot, they have CL football to play for as well as wanting to keep sharp for a final, that’s without mentioning they’re simply far better in pretty much every sense. Another side that iirc was a League One team when Ashley bought Newcastle but are now fucking miles ahead of us, guess it’s all down to us expecting too much.

Was just about to say aye, he’ll probably have that or put Dier in there.

Fwiw the way our scouting team found Dubravka was searching the keepers with the least goalkeeping errors in whyscout and then watching all of the errors he made, it was out of him and a keeper from France iirc and Dubravkas errors were less glaring. Maybe Dubravka makes more errors in the PL than he did in his prior league but he’s still a better keeper than Darlow. I like Darlow too but Dubravka is more commanding in the box imo.

The funniest part of the Manchester United fans on twitter is the argument about fearing the way the Glazers have loaded the club up with debt, and resulting worry about the clubs future because of it is a fair thing to protest about, meanwhile the daft cunts on twitter are harping on about the glazers not spending enough etc. They’re second in the league and the only club that have outspent them in the last 10 year are probably Manchester City, that’s a non-argument as the Glazers have clearly allowed the club to spend.

Two down now, I’ve missed over half the game because of this coverage of a bunch of fat middle aged mancs in skinny jeans milling about a pitch. Time to switch off and do a little to impact advertising money. Football in the modern era eh, they’d rather cover a story about the politics of the sport than the sport itself.
