Relive the highlights once more: https://www.football365.com/news/feature-newcastle-nadirs-steve-bruce-worst-matches

Lose on Saturday and it's a solid 8. Can't beat a dusty mattress. There are a few other rotten teams down there but they've got a bit of fight and guts. We're winging it with an utter fuckwit at the controls, looking at the fixtures we could be well adrift by Halloween.

3 losses out of 3. Huge 6 pointer on Saturday followed by a few more definite losses. Lovely bloke though, good old Steve. Absolute diamond and knows the game and the club.

Soton 7/4 right now. That's going to shorten quickly, they've hit a bit of a groove and we can't even pick the fucking saw up.

Stevie, give us a wave, Stevie, Stevie give us a wave. Get fucked you pack of absolute cunts. Fucking doormat little wankstains, put up with anything and pay for the privilege. Fucking arseholes.

At least I'm honest

Longstaff and Cork @ 50/1 Bardsley and Hendrick @28s (blatant copy tbh)

Waiting for team news tonight, need to see just how shit the teams are.

Jesus. Chris Kamara sounds absolutely dreadful , he's doing the Sheff U game tonight and sounds like he's struggling to say anything. I know he had some kind of scan after a few people raised the issue last season but it's clearly not good

You know what I hate? Paragraphs

It's good that he's got a nice big pasture to graze all day though.

Aren't Burnley one of these teams that generally make about 9 changes and (seemingly) couldn't give a single fuck if they get knocked out early on to "concentrate on the league"?

Nah, just Cornet

Bet he gave her the full 99. Absolute #laaaaad

Liverpool, Villa, City -1, Man U & Chelsea at over 6/1

Dear Steve, If a train leaves Edinburgh at 12:00 travelling towards London at an average speed of 120mph and another train leaves London at 13:00 travelling an average of 100mph, how long could I continuously kick you in the face for without getting bored? Andy, Fenham

Wasn't it more a case of doing the exact opposite of standing for the national anthem? As in, fuck standing, I'm going to kneel instead?

It's one of those intangibles that demonstrate the difference and drop-off we've suffered from changing from Rafa to this fuckwit. You can compare league finishes, points accrued, goals scored and whatever you like, they're numbers and can be interpreted in many ways. But seeing the regression of players like Longstaff fly under the radar. They go unnoticed by the media because they're ignorant of the actual games played, they don't watch the games, they look at the result, they look at the table and go from there - Newcastle won? They must have played well etc. Completely ignores the nuances of individual players, the little things that one manager did that the other doesn't. How many players in the squad are performing better under Bruce than Rafa? 1? 2? You can't measure that and it therefore gets ignored. BuT hE MaTcHeD RaFa. Absolute braindead cunts. To a man.

Imagine a team winning the World Cup .......then seeing it ripped out of their hands because their last minute equaliser was offside

Personally I think he benefitted enormously from having a manager like Rafa. He got clear detailed instructions as to what to do, where to play and how to operate in CM from superb manager and responded. His performances were getting better and better by the week and he looked a million dollars. Then the manager changed and he swapped chicken soup for chicken shit. Seemingly no personal input from the gormless cunt and told to just do his thing or run about or put himself about a bit or words to that effect. Absolutely no coincidence to me that he's looked pretty dreadful since Rafa went and Bruce came in, as a young player trying to forge a career in the PL than the worst possible boss for you is the one that's currently stinking out our dugout. He desperately needs a change of club or a change of manager here if he's going to fulfil his potential, he's currently going backwards.

When you're looking to kick start your season the ideal fixture you want is Newcastle (H). Comfortable home win.

I think that lots of people (including me) forget that Hayden was bought as a squad member to get us out of the Championship 4 or 5 years ago, no more. The fact he's performing adequately in the PL is him playing at the best level he's capable of despite only costing about a million quid. He's served his purpose and given much much more than that given his limited ability. I'm not slagging the bloke, he's a nice lad and gives everything he's got and it's not his fault he's now become a squad regular half a decade after he was signed for a specific purpose. He would probably have been phased out at a better club but that's just epitomises the way this whole circus operates. Why spend money when adequate is good enough?

I'm about £45 up on the day. Nothing life changing but it'll keep me in bets for weeks and weeks that

This is exactly it, the acceptance that the top half is ruled out totally because they're all out of our league. Forget hope and having a go it's 'no chance lads, we can't compete with that lot', defeatist shite but let's not kid ourselves it comes from the very top. Ashley and Bruce are a match made in heaven, Ashley's lack of any kind of ambition matches the lack of Bruce's ability to deliver anything other than dogshit, defensive and disorganised football. An awful owner has deliberately hired an awful manager to oversee the policy - survival at all costs, zero ambition, minimal (club) cash outlay, zero investment and a cunt who'll spew the PR, on demand, to his mates in the media who refuse to criticise. It's the tacit endorsement of 'know your place, it's impossible to compete, don't hope for more, don't ask for more, not our fault, we're doing as well as we possibly can' when every fucker older than 25 knows what could be achieved by this club, given the investment and change in mentality. We're owned and run by small-time, cowardly, backward, incompetent, subservient, thick little cunts.
