George Bailey

He really is a dinosaur, and not even a good one. He's the shit one that plodded around munching on leaves, just getting fat and waiting for the better more exciting dinosaurs to come along and eat the shit out of him. Fat fucking cock-knocker.

Which self respecting manager will take this job on though? Non in reality. Which should make it easier to unite the support around boycotts and general action...In theory. Not forgetting the mindset of huge tracts of our 'loyalist supporters' sadly.

Because losing is more likely to get rid of Ashley, I'd presume. Why post on the match thread at all then? This constant wishing to lose is just grating on me. I won't spend any money on the Toon, realise we need Ashley out, and clearly Bruce is a poor choice for manager. I get that. But I can't cheer when Newcastle gets beat or want them to get beat. Why? This is not NUFC, this is the afterbirth that should have been disposed of posing as NUFC. The ONLY way we ever get our club back and the only thing that will make fat t*** sell us is for a prolonged stay in either the championship or even better joining the swamp rats in League 1. Hence...Come on you Canaries...or whoever this f***ing abortion of a version of NUFC is playing...every week, every game until MA is gone and the soooopafans wake the f*** up. Never want the team I support to get beat. Stay away and protest 100% but never wish for the team to get beat. Don’t understand anyone who would want to to be honest. Fully respect your point of view, but I don't understand why you are thinking the way you do so there you go.

The dream appointment for me. Would SURELY be the final nail that hammers home the point to more of our sooopa fans.

Come on you Canaries.... Hoping for a nice 2 nil home win. Can maybe see SportsDirect utd 'nicking' a goal here though. 2-1 to Norwich, and a cracking start to the season for fat Mike and all his fanboys.

Was at that 88/89 game...Ah Mirandinha..Bless him.

Come on Arsenal fucking batter this lot.

They won't mind. They Are paying the FCB and his vomit inducing sidekicks to fuck them up the arse and loving every minute of it.

What's the utter cretin saying now?

None that will be heard, all drowned out by 'Steve Bruce's black'nwhite army' and the 'loyalist football supporters da world has eva seen'...

He should resign. Steve Bruce should resign. Steve, resign please!

Wise words TRon. Twi'll be glorious to behold.

If one side are capable of fucking this up its probably weak as piss Arsenal. Hoping for a good solid drubbing for SportsDirect utd, had hoped for a good 0-3 start for the cunt and his verminous manager. Fear they may get a draw though. Will send the sheeple to the Bigg market happy though. Come on the Gooners.

Does 1 match count as a run??? A cup hop?

We have to be the most gullible and malleable set of fans by far. Have to admit my generation of fans have some blame in this. We sat, or stood by in those days, and watched successive owners and regimes fuck about with us. Never anything to the malicious levels this cunt is doing, but we still were far too acquiescent. In our defence we didn't have some of the tools available now to help garner any momentum (social media, the internet, SKY with virtual 24hrs coverage). Relying on the Pink and printed news for our information, we were far less informed than we all are now. We still didn't do anything like enough though. Was proud of the Magpie group and the actions leading up to the takeover from Mckeag et al (In hindsight he looks a fucking saint), but as a fanbase we are far too soft, pliable and frankly pitiful. Good job it wasn't us being asked to spearhead the cause for voting rights or improved workers rights et...No point. Not enough will join in, would be disloyal etc...we are living up to the thick Geordie bastard perception well enough though. Heartbreaking.He will be pissing himself laughing. Have to admire the cunt in some ways.

Wonder if we can jump high too? As well as run around a lot...Top coach is our Brewcie, plus he's a Geordie. Get the fuck in...Ganna win da league man....

Maybe by about 50% mate aye :)If he manages a full games worth all season it will be a minor miracle.

That's being unkind to actual vermin. Fuck him and all those like him. Deserve the shitshow they will endure (and lap up like fucking morons) this season and subsequent years under MA and his yes men and lickspittle. They are a perfect fit for each other. Oh and this cunt is a smoggy twat to boot...bollocks to the lot of 'em.

So what we estimating for an attendance? Less than 40k? (I will be amazed if it is not high 40s or just scraping into the 50 mark...anyhting less I would take as a bit of a positive). Hopefully the message is being taken seriously by those who care enough or can rationalise things. Then again there are folk who think a No-deal Brexit is tickety boo and plain sailing.

You honestly find my stance of giving a manager who hasn't even managed a single fucking game yet, a chance baffling? Its baffling that you won't give a brand new manager that has done fuck all wrong a chance? If he fucks up then he fucks up but to actually say boo him and hound him out in his first game is just pathetic. You're directing your anger at completely the wrong person. I think it boils down to what we differ on in terms of recognising this version of NUFC as something worthy of 'supporting'. I refuse to recognise this current aberration as the NUFC I have loved and supported for the best part of 50 years. Anyone aligning itself to that is, in my opinion, complicit with the continued destruction and stagnation of the club and actively acting in a way that will stop or hinder what we all want; a successful NUFC that challenges and is striving to be the best it vcan be on all fronts (commercially,it's links to the community and area, on the pitch, with respect of youth development and training facilities etc). Rafa benitez got it. He challenged the ownership, who you are absolutely correct to point out, is the ultimate enemy. He set out a strategy to see the club grow, to be all it could be. Not with ludicrous demands of expenditure to match Man City etc, but to just challenge to be the best of the rest, and see where that would take us in the longer term. He failed. Failed to even shame them into doing that. We all know what the fat controller is about (asset stripping, using the club as an atm, as little investment as he can gamble with to ensure he gets his annual pay outs). Steve Bruce knows this too. More so than any 'outsider' who could have come in (Monk, Sherwood et al) He is absolutely complicit in this. He is Pardew reborn. In my opinion you can't separate the two. He is knowingly now a Mike Ashley puppet and as such deserves nothing but ridicule. The manager really doesn't matter, but by giving Bruce a chance you are really just giving MA what he wants. Your money. The club is dead. This is not NUFC and I want it, and anyone who continues to be complicit in the destruction and placing of it in a zombie like state to suffer nothing but scorn and ridicule. As for booing him. I can't. I had enough after Pardew's appointment. I was fooled at first by the talk from MA, as many of us where. Not to see this now though, after over a decade of abuse by him is what I find baffling.

If you can't see the difference between the hope that Rafa offered at the time he was here and the state this 'version' of NUFC now finds itself in, and the part PardBruce is playing in that then I guess there will never be any chance of us seeing eye to eye on it all. I find your 'give him a chance' stance baffling. Then again there should be no one in the fucking ground to give any new puppet manager a chance.

Very fair comment. Trevor Francis is to blame (Well not really)

Worth a gamble for £10m maybe? It's not a lot of money in PL terms I guess..
