Fat waste of space, tactically inept cabbage head Steve Bruce sacked by Newcastle United

[Howay 12496]

It’s certainly a cultured place

I currently have the pleasure of working in the city 2 days a week.

It could have been worse if he’d open his mouth to reveal his plummy southern accent. He stuck out enough as it was with his suit and laptop bag 

[Howay 12496]

What did he make of the place? Hope he saw the local landmarks, like the poundstretcher, poundland, and B&M bargains on their high street.

Be fair. There’s loads of sandwich shops, fruit and veg stalls and Wetherspoons too

Can he ban Amazon? Luke Edwards got the rod out again.

Steve Bruce: ‘ I think you’ll find it’s assistant TO the head coach’.

Don't forget the second hand shops too!

 

It's amazing that non of this is a joke.  I've had the misfortune of working there quite a bit and their so called city centre really is a shit hole from start to finish.  I'm sure they'd try and point their webbed fingers at parts of Newcastle that are also run down but the main shopping street they have resembles Shields Road in the 80's.

[Meenzer 15544]

I went there for the first time in ages last year, to walk the coast path from Sunderland to South Shields. It's weird because the north side with the Glass Centre on the river, the marina, Roker beach and all the way along past Seaburn are all quite nice really, but none of that seems to spill over into the town centre at all - as soon as you're south of the Wear and into the centre it's zombie apocalypse territory

[David Kelly 1245]

Aye unfortunately my ex missus is from over there so I went out with the bairn for a walk along the coast at Roker and they've put a bit of money into that area and it really is quite decent most of the way along to South Shields.  And actually there is some areas just outside the town centre on south side that quite nice too (before you get up to pennywell or pallion obviously), but the town centre itself is a fucking cesspit.

[Sonatine 11393]

I had to work there for a couple of weeks in 2016, and I can honestly say that was the first time I've ever set foot in the place.  And I've lived in the NE for 40 odd years.

 

The bus station absolutely honked with piss on a morning (and probably the rest of the day), and that shopping centre looked like it was full of trauma victims who'd just witnessed a massacre.

 

If you don't live or work there, why would anyone choose to visit that rancid place is beyond me 🤢

[David Kelly 1245]

I don't think anyone does visit it and that's part of the their problem.  You hear opposition fans a lot of times saying that they like playing Sunderland away because it's a great night out in Newcastle.  Hardly anyone stays there and goes out and it just makes them all the more parochial to the point when anyone who they don't recognise as one of their own is either made to feel uncomfortable or chased out of town.  If they opened themselves up to the rest of the world a bit more they might find that it benefits them.

I went to a wedding over there once. 
In fairness, when the father of the bride and groom made his speech it was a very moving moment. 

[essembeeofsunderland 811]

The makems who have worked for me over the years have come from Durham,Bishop and the odd one from Anfield Plain and not one of them goes to sunlun unless they’re going to the match,None of their pals,which ever team they support,ever go there to shop or drink,it’s always Newcastle.By the way,in most town’s and villages to the west of the A1 ,football supporters are predominantly black and white they reckon.

I bet their coats were mostly white though.

Aye the bairn said it was nice and we tried to go but they were rammed.

Cole Kitchen just off Roker beach is unreal as well and it has the added bonus of being run by a pal.

Wilson out for up to 8 weeks.Will he turn to Useless Joe again?

I guess we're on to verse three of Stan.
