Aye exactly, I expect they’ll hang onto him just like they did with McLaren which will basically mean we’ll be relegated by that point and whoever they pick out of Moyes, Allardyce, and Hughes won’t be able to stop it.

We won’t have to worry about VAR in our games next season will we? Think it’s still a way off being implemented in the Championship.

There was a bit of a spark under Benitez but it’s not bollocks at all to say people have been stopping caring over time. My dad and grandad both gave up their season tickets before Benitez came in because they were sick of Ashley fucking on with the club and had lost interest, Strawb literally just wrote a post about how he has lost interest over time with a little bit of a spark under Benitez. You’ve also just liked a post by Alex where he is talking about how people have been becoming apathetic over years due to Ashley. I’m also not sure what the people in the stadium celebrating or the quality of the Man City team have to do with my point.

Aye the new hand ball rule is a crock of shit. I don’t understand why they have to keep changing everything , then anytime anyone questions a new rule all the zany cunts on Twitter leap down their throat about how it’s advancing the game, simply changing a rule isn’t advancing the game especially a one as shite as this new handball rule.

Spot on. As much as it’s crap having your whole day ruined by a shite match, you had the days where you’d be buzzing after a class one, but as you say the point where many of us are now we get neither. I really don’t get why I watch the games anymore, not only are they dreadful to watch but I barely care, I felt nowt watching Norwich burst us, and I’d not have gotten much excitement out of us battering them. The worst thing this horrible fat worm has done is cause what I expect is a good chunk of our fan base to not give a fuck anymore.

Shock that Toontastic favorite Luke “the helmet” Edwards is digging out fans, and calling it a meltdown over the result. It’s not like Steve Bruce has decades of managerial failure people can point to as to this being an ongoing outcome is there...

We’ll be the punching bags this season, but if your team can keep playing the way they did today they’ll stay up comfortably. To be fair to Joelinton he’s been given absolutely no chance with the policies at the club, you shouldn’t be relying on a 22 year old lad who scored 7 Bundesliga goals to adapt to the PL and score enough to keep you up right away, but that’s Mike Ashley always happy to gamble. Nice of you to say we’re too big for the Championship, but to be honest under Ashley we’re not and it’s probably where we should be. I think we’ll come 20th, from having seen the performances of teams people had pegged as being likely to come 20th (Villa and Brighton) we’re behind them performance wise going off the first 2 games imo.

Advocated giving Bruce a chance, that chance was a whole 90 minutes.

I hope Jonjo has a goal bonus in his contract. Nice extra kick in the teeth for Ashley at the end.

“The most worrying part is his team aren’t even putting in effort, there’s been a real lack of effort from too many Newcastle players” - we’re two games in were we also not told by all these MINT journos that the players all really love Bruce and there’s going to be loads of effort?

May as well get his tenure at the club out of the way now, maybe he could do Dec-Feb then we can get Hughes in to finish the implosion.

Tbh we’re better off in the championship under Ashley. It cuts him off from the PL money, he won’t be cheap enough to get us relegated from that as then the worth of the club nosedives, and we might actually see some okay football. Not saying I’d rather be there under other circumstances or that it’s ‘proper football’ like the mackems bang on about, it’s just under Ashley we won’t even pay the going rate to compete with bottom half PL sides.

He’s going for the express variety, and chosen well as he can try to play it off as factors beyond his control in order to land another potential destroy and exit before Christmas. It’ll be a fucking Bumper year at the British managers club feast.

The most embarrassing bit is Norwich haven’t even broken a sweat in this match. We’ve not created anything at all and they’ve score basically any time they’ve really tried.

Worse since we don’t have players like Wijnaldum that you can confidently say will score goals. Genuinely looking like we could be 20th this season after seeing teams like Villa and Brighton’s games.

Teemu Pukki hat trick. Can we just skip this season and come in 20th now rather than waste everyone’s time.

Bloody hell this lot are absolutely terrible who would have thought losing all of our goal scorers from last season while also losing the manager who got the defense looking solid would result in this. We’ll go down tbh.

Genuinely don’t get what formation we are playing, Hayden sometimes looks like he’s on the wing. I knew Bruce was a shite manager but honestly didn’t know you could be as shambolic as this. Agree completely with AH on Joelinton. The fact it’s the second time they’ve done the exact same thing should be pointed out to anyone that defends Ashley, so currently this would be pointed at Gary Neville. I wasn’t going to rate our chances off the Arsenal game, but this was a good test and we look fucking hopeless. I think we will go down tbh, and I really hope we stay there this time.

I know it was a good hit but why aren’t we covering the lad who scored 29 goals for them last season?

Been coming that

I wonder how much longer we have to keep watching utter drivel like this before the “give him a chance” crew shut the fuck up and confirm that Steve Bruce is, in fact, a completely useless, past it, manager

Free header man

Proper route one stuff from us as a newly promoted side who have spent yonks in the 2nd tier pass around us. We should ask Rio Ferdinand if we still need to keep thanking Mike Ashley. Away end packed with grown men wearing the brand new home kit, proper fans them lads.

They really are a bunch of scruffs.
