That's amazing, well done folks

Quick question gentlemen - how would I go about finding out how many headers on target players have had since the season started? Had a look around the opta site and it's not there (that I can find). Any ideas?

10/3 on skybet and only 2.2/1 on PP.

The unpalatable fact remains that 40k+ continue to facilitate and fund this charade year after year. If only they could bring themselves to question what they're doing for a moment and simply say "nah, fuck that, I'm not going" and cancel their tickets he'd run a fucking mile. The future of the club they supposedly love is in their hands, all they need to do is walk away for a year and they'd get their club back, the way it used to be, aiming for more, genuinely striving for the top half as opposed to crossing it's fingers and hoping 3 clubs are even worse. But they won't. They love the club that much they're actually funding it's regression. They're paying to see it go backwards, they're that fucking thick they don't even accept it either. Crowds drop to circa 15k and he'll shit his Lonsdales. 1 season boycott, that's all it would take.

If he's only "vaguely improving" the squad then why the fuck is being targeted by Bruce? He doesn't get a "vague improvement" loan in? So fuck? What's the big issue?

Need to change the spin a bit here, it's not 'couldn't' or 'can't', it should be 'wouldn't' and 'won't'. They're perfectly capable of signing players and going through the process, they know exactly how to do it they simply don't want to. The willingness is not there, it's not incompetence it's a refusal and shouldn't be a surprise to any Newcastle fan. We're not signing anyone because they have chosen not to.

Think Rafa was probably guilty of being a bit naive but nothing more than that. He approached the club and genuinely thought he could change the way it's run, change the owner's opinion and strategy and move the club forward on and off the field. Firmly believe he fought for years to do what's best, spoke out frequently about the limitations imposed from above but was never going to get his way. He honoured his contract and walked away knowing full well he'd done all he could but wasn't enough. That's the difference, This fucking subservient prick will accept it and not make a fucking peep - he's really angry? Is he fuck, he'll take whatever shit he's served and be a good little boy and take it. It's the exact reason he was appointed in the first place, fuck him.

If he was a decent bloke then I might might have a modicum of sympathy. As it is he's a fucking shithouse and he's as obnoxious as he is incompetent. Deciding to work for Ashley means you deserve every single thing you get once he inevitably shits in your kettle. Arsehole manager utterly fucked by scumbag owner is absolutely beautiful tbh

I'd be furious if I actually gave a fuck.

Anything that accelerates Bruce out of the club is absolutely fine by me. He knew exactly what and who he was getting involved with and did so willingly. He even resigned to try and prevent his new owner from paying compensation. He's been utterly complicit and compliant since he walked in the spineless twat. "What? I'm being shafted by a relentless cunt with a history of shafting people? I never saw this coming" Suck it up you piece of shit. No sympathy at all.

Couldn't even loan a few steak bakes or toasties from other establishments. They broke their own rules to order new bulbs for the fucked fridge.

Think it should be the quintessential PFM. The stereotypical PFM. Really popular, never does a bad job, hates forrins, British beef, loves a tackle, wants 110%, keep your shape, run through brick walls etc. The ultimate PFM

Paul Jewell

John Geregory Alex McCleish

Obviously you've got Fat Sam, Curbishley and Pardew. Goes without saying

Dave Bassett

Mark Hughes Tony Pulis

Old Trafford will be a bloodbath. Only consolation for him being it might not be as ruthless as normal due to a few being rested after International duty, coasting a bit and getting Ronaldo bedded in fully. Not that they're not capable of dismantling this squad HE'S put together mind, if they want 6 or 7 they'll get them. (1 point out of 12) Followed by Leeds at home. Bielsa will hand this fat wanker his own arsehole on a platter, they'll press and counter attack at will, no secret we look completely unfit and he'll exploit that in the last 10 mins of each half particularly. (1 /15) Wolves away - a point at best. (1/2 out of 18) Spurs at home - loss. Kane and Son are too much for this lot (Looking at 1/2 out of 21) After that it's a question of how long do you give him? How bad does it need to get? Palace away followed by Chelsea at home, could very easily be looking at 1 or 2 points from 24 or 27, it's not unrealistic at all.

Any footage of this gormless fucking knacker explaining today's shitshow?

Aye it was the little scoop he did that fucked it. Had it just bounced off his forearm back into play or round the post he'd have probably got away with it. Just too much of a movement made it look deliberate, it's a bit tough on them. Then again it's Chelsea so fuck them.

That was the double jeopardy thing that got raised a while back. Red, pen and a suspension was (rightly) deemed excessive

Think that's for a genuine attempt to tackle in the box as opposed to a handball on the line. Mistimed tackle is yellow and pen only, again iirc.

Doesn't he have to though? Handball on the line has always has been a straight red. Once he's decided it's a pen (wasn't imo) he has no choice but to follow it up with a straight red iirc. It's all or nothing.

Pen AND an automatic red for that seems incredibly harsh mind.

Expected better playing the first team in our own league at home. Brucey currently dusting off his "off the mark" chapter in his PFM Bullshit Bible.
