It's a pretty dumb comment anyway, winning the CL as a player isn't going to make him any better as a manager. His old pals in the studio might love him, but the players look like they don't give much of a shit. 

This isn't 'wide of the mark'.

The Stretford End.   🤣

Looks to me like there’s an awful lot of fans standing up for the match there. 
 

It’d be awful if someone kicked them when they’re down and reported it to the Premier League .

(PP I believe?)

It's so funny listening to the Monday Night club about Sir Ole  So hypocritical it's fucking funny as owt.

Man Utd will be forced to pay Ole Gunnar Solskjaer £7.5m severance package to sack manager now as part of his contract

How the fuck did Mike Ashley's NUFC enter into a contract with a manager head coach who would cost more to get rid of than the manager of one of the undoubtedly biggest (financially, if not state of play currently) clubs in the world?

Because he assumed it wouldn't be his problem to sort out.

I see Lascelles thinks it would be great to lift Newcastle's first trophy as captain in the era of our new ownership. Are you going to tell him or should I 😄 If and when we win anything he'll be long gone and replaced by someone of much higher quality. That is unless he seriously ups his game under the new manager, whoever that turns out to be, but it really doesn't seem likely he could improve that much at this point in his career. https://www.geordiebootboys.com/news/jamaal-lascelles-eyes-trophies-following-newcastle-takeover/

Lascelles was playing really well at one stage under Rafa, although I don't think he'll be good enough to be in any trophy winning side. But it's still a good attitude to have to believe you are good enough. As opposed to wankers like Shelvey who are happy to coast along with gaffers like Bruce because they aren't arsed about winning anything.

Still got a spare ticket for the Chelsea game if anyone wants it? Good seat in the Milburn near the dugouts. Face value @ £41

Nailed on that this was Ashley's parting gift to  Bruce. Don't rock the boat, don't ask for transfers in the Summer and you will have a nice £8mil payoff as a reward

Can you not put it on Newcastle online or stub hub etc. Shame to lose £41

Anyone recognise who the player is here?

See I thought that but I thought 06 was a bit early for him?…

[PaddockLad 17283]

I expect you’re spot on…. I was at most of these games too

It’s definitely Huntington. I remember that mid-2000s hairstyle very vividly when he scored past Spurs

[strawb 4268]

Aye that mullet was bit at the time. Only reason I remember him

Just watched the Fever Pitch docu on BBC about the start of the Prem.  Man the pitches looked fucked.

Liverpool 70s and 80s and this is one of the many Man U 90s/2000s wankfest shows there'll be. Only watched the first one, didn't bother watching the rest, pure PL propaganda as well, should've just called the self titled 'big 5' greedy bastards and it would've been just as accurate.

[Blastronaut 1333]

The response to that Super League debacle really reminded me of the repeated rumours over the years that Rangers and Celtic were plotting to join the English leagues.

 

Like then I'm just surprised there wasn't more of a collective effort from the rest of the league to just wave them off with a chorus of "See we you later, hope the door doesn't hit you on the way out". 

 

Shows how much money rules the game these days, opposition fans and owners relying on this small clique to keep their teams solvent.

[wykikitoon 20198]

There was a few bits about Newcastle in it. Obv the rant by KK but fuck all about Shearer breaking the World Transfer record.  Nah.

 

There was a bit that showed KK in training getting involved.  Pure class.

 

Just listened to TalkSport on the way in  Brazil has such a fucking pickled brain.  Asking Agbonlawhore who out of the London clubs will finish top.  He said 'I suppose we have to include Brentford' and forgot about Chelsea   They've discussed getting rid of Sir Ole and even said Farke should be sacked if he loses v Leeds this weekend.  Then, they mentioned how Dean Smith should be sacked to take them to the next level.  Yet Nooooooooooooooo, Bruce has to stay.

I mean they did win seven of the first nine seasons.
