Looks pretty grim, got to be said, looking down the barrel. Simply can't afford to continue to give every team we play easy, simple, soft as fuck goals. Darlow and Clark need to be dropped immediately, they're horrific and look shot to pieces.

Horrific mistake. The Red Lion would drop him, needs to be moved on.

Very surprised they've not put some security on the gates as players are arriving and leaving, can't legislate for fucking morons standing in the middle of the road as cars are trying to get in/out. Mow the gormless fuckers down tbh.

A few (thoroughly deserved) beverages involved too

Haha, aye sorry, forgot the 2-1 bit! Apologies gents

Wilson FGS and Newcastle to win is boosted to 50/1 tomorrow on skybet. As far as 50/1 shots are concerned this one should be considerably less imo. £2 on it, fuck it.

Still think we'll win tbh. It's a blow, obviously, but he's worked with them for nearly a fortnight and has picked the team and tactics. He'll still have direct input into things before, during and after the game so I'm still hopeful. Get behind the team and cheer them on

Of course...

Fucking champion, one of the last remaining links to Ashley now gone. Hope the incompetent, snivelling little fat cunt never darkens the place ever again.

Nothing wrong with playing hardball now and again, they're new to the game and instantly giving in to every offer sends out the wrong message. Negotiating the price is absolutely normal despite what this prick says

Shearer, Lee & Hamann

Wasn't there a competition of some description about 18 months ago who threw a few decent new ones up? I quite like the current one but it does look a bit dated now. If we're under new owners and looking ahead then an updated badge seems inevitable sooner or later. I like the red shield with the 3 turrets on it, a spin on that ticks the historical link but also drags it into the current times. The fact we've had 4 in the last 50 years suggests nothing is forever.

Think we'll win 2-1. Tight, tense and fraught as fuck for the full 90. We'll nick it and we'll be up and running

There's not a day that goes by without me thanking my lucky stars that I've got absolutely zero to do with NUFC on twitter and more so twitter in general. It's a manky swamp, an utter cesspit.

Disaster for Russia

Don't see how they can get too upset at him, the lauded Ashley for running NUFC within their means and for being financially prudent. To throw the toys out of the pram now would be massively hypocr..... Oh

Well done mate

Loving the complete defiance angle they're taking. PL clubs created a bullshit rule that they thought would prevent this and AS and co have just completely ignored it and are quite prepared to just roll straight over them, superb stuff. Their bullshit, unenforceable temporary block would get laughed out of court, they know it, AS knows it and they couldn't be more dismissive of it and the PL, they're doing exactly what they want and full credit to them. They've got their elbows out and are fighting their corner, fantastic to see and hear the owners of the club willing to do everything they possibly can to compete as much as they possibly can, it's the polar opposite of what was here just 6 weeks ago. They've got my full support, take them on, sign the deals, get the cash into the club and call their shitty bluff, fuck them.

The level of sheer anger and hatred is frightening like, it's dripping from every other post, the rhetoric and diction they use is genuinely scary, they're absolutely unhinged. Imagine what it would be like if they weren't in the third division and we actually played them twice a season.

What fucking nonsense did Bruce come out with again after Portugal? "We had 6 players away, what do you expect me to do?" Something like that and having the neck to sound bolshy as fuck as he's actually pulled about it The fucking charlatan, don't feel that chalk and cheese does the difference between these 2 justice. The millstones have finally been cut free

The season starts tomorrow as far as I'm concerned, he's got nearly a fortnight to get the process of sorting this fucking shambles out. I'd expect double sessions most days, if they're not on the training pitch or the gym then they're watching videos and working on the shape of the team and set pieces, it needs a complete F5. Any fuckers not happy in 2 weeks time can fuck clean off and we need to start looking at players for January as of now. Nothing wrong with sounding clubs and agents out, agreeing the deal in December and finalising them in the first week of January. It's a huge task and with the support of every fan we can get enough points to stay up this year then we can really start to get excited this summer. No excuses, no bullshit, it starts tomorrow.

Whole game plan is 'just don't get absolutely fucking walloped'. That's it. 2-0? Meh that's not too bad, could have been worse mate... And all the while yet another game passes and we're rock fucking bottom of the league without a single win for 6 FUCKING MONTHS.

Players, coaches and managers are all fucking petrified of doing anything. The mismanagement and incompetence is still coursing through the veins of the whole fucking lot of them. Frightened to have a go as they know they're not organised enough to cope with the results. It needs completely ripping apart, fuck it.

Pitiful from Man U, they played like we do against City. A couple of months ago I thought 4 teams could possibly win the league this year. I was wrong, it's only 3. Man U are a million miles away from being the best team in their own city, let alone the country.

That's the other elephant in the room too. He's obviously been a superb manager and won the lot and should be respected for it. But he's been retired a long time now and I don't think that any manager will flourish while his spectre is still hanging around the place. If he still wanted some influence he shouldn't have retired. He should step away completely and let the manager manage the team. Him hanging around the gaff always puts unnecessary pressure on the current boss imo.
