That’ll do wonders for his knees.

I’m genuinely hoping they go for Keane. He’s the exact manager they don’t need. He’d be the equivalent of trying to put out a fire with petrol.

All he had to do was keep his trap shut and tell them to keep on doing what they had been doing under Rafa. That's it, today proves it. Just keep the cogs turning and he would have been sitting pretty. If he deviates in any way from what he inherited then he's completely fucked. The only way he can even begin make a fist of this job is pretending to be Rafa and crossing his fingers. If he tries to be Steve Bruce it'll go to shit instantly.

Just imagine the bantz going on in training on Tuesday. It'll be off the fucking dial

Nah, the fact the players can only play one way is the problem isn’t it?

He's just playing the game. He's probably made lots of friends whilst actually paying and he knows they'll (as pundits of a similar age) never really go to town on him or his record. They'll placate the criticism, offer excuses or just plainly ignore his massive deficiencies. If he can just bluff it for long enough then he'll get a huge payout. Last as long as you can by deflecting criticism and laying the blame somewhere else. See out 9 months? Brilliant. 10? Even better, keep them at bay and keep me in a job. Keep the money coming in, keep on churning out the tired clichés to keep themselves in a job they're not equipped to do. Once the sack inevitably arrives then they'll lie low a while and the cycle starts again. He's shit, he knows he is and he's now just hanging on as long as he can. He's already scrambling and clutching at any defence. He's done 3 months and he looks fucked. Fully expect him to continue to avoid responsibility as long as he can. The bloke is a complete fraud and a parasite. He'll be here for as long as his host will tolerate him before he shakes him off like a flea.

Geordie lads, local lads showing a bit of pride and passion. Playing for the shirt and running through brick walls for their team. Busting a gut, running themselves into the ground for the pride of the shirt, the famous black and white stripes, posters on the wall, wearing the shirts of their heroes. Playing on front of their own, their kindred spirits, the Geordie nation. They're fighting for their cause, their passion blah blah blah. It's utter wank and we're going to get dicked no matter where the fuckers were born.

Still convinced that VAR was introduced specifically for the likes of Liverpool to exploit it as much as possible. It wasn't to get the correct decision but to give it to the correct team. They're still throwing themselves everywhere and getting soft ones. Collapsing under the slightest contact is cheating. Contact =/= foul. Absolutely refuse to believe that pen is given in the other box. It would have gone to VAR and he wouldn't have given it. Not in a million years.

Absolute corker of an opening paragraph. Look forward to reading the finished article.

What a fucking nightmare eh? Walking into a club that had a solid defensive ethos, a collection of well drilled professionals who knew their roles inside out and back to front. They knew a system and it worked by and large. Rigid, solid, disciplined and organised. Now this thick fat cunt is moaning about inheriting this absolute gift. He's deflecting his own incompetence using the strengths of his predecessor, how fucking dare he. Taking potshots at CL winning Benitez for leaving him a defensive dream when he's not won a fucking thing, absolutely fuck all, not a single thing. The cheeky, inept useless wanker. He's taken this unit and completely fucked it, we're now a total mess, an utter shambles and it's 100% down to him. He's basically jumped on the retarded opinions of the likes of Keys 'negative Rafa' and 'trying to kill the game' when the likes of Redknapp offers his ill-informed, worthless opinions. He's piggybacked on that and he's blaming the current deficiencies on the bloke who took his last training sessions about 5 months ago. This is Bruce's heap of shit to clean up. Pointing the finger at Benitez is fucking scandalous, no way should he be allowed to get away with this. He inherited a comfortable 4 bedroomed detached house with a nice garden and garage and within 5 months it's now a rumbling fucking crack den, infested with rats with no fucking windows. His incompetence has been so rapid is caught every fucker out.

He's such a relentless cunt like. Moans when he gets any criticism like he's not in any way responsible for getting dicked every week. If he didn't want the job and the baggage that comes with it he should have said no. He's utterly shit at his job and he's an arsehole to boot. Don't like it? Not up to it? Easy solution - off you fuck. Walk. Take the other useless pricks with you too.

Just don't see it. Morale is on the floor, quite a few injuries, he's reeling personally after the shambles at Leicester. I think they'll get a comfortable 2-0 win, maybe more. We're already dead in the water against better teams

Of course he is. It'll be another loss.

At least the fuckwit will be happy with any result. Can't see anything other than a thumping away win.

Remember when Carver rinsed Williamson for getting sent off at Leicester. Basically said he got sent off deliberately, absolutely both battels in public. Was amazing tv. Bruce is just getting started, give it to Xmas and he'll be whipping them every week, like hobbled racehorses. Can't wait.

They're more interested in what people think of them rather than the state of the club. Look at me, I'm mental me man. 5 down and I'm still singing like a pua loop. Go and tell your mates how mental we were....

Bruce walked into this shitstorm with his eyes wide open, he knew exactly what he was signing up for. He even resigned to try and avoid Ashley having to pay compensation. He’s prepared to throw his players under the bus and point a finger at Benitez for his own embarrassing shortcomings. Imagine blaming a Champions League winning manager who left in June for problems going into October. He’s taking no responsibility, he’s blaming anyone and everyone bar himself and trotting out the cringey cliches just as he has done all of his pitiful, joyless and unsuccessful managerial career. He’s a gormless, spineless fuckwit and deserves all the shit coming his way in the next month or so. Fuck him, not a shred of sympathy for him here.

I hope he’s got the lazy cunts in for extra laps of the training pitch tomorrow. Work them Stevie. I want to see a moat formed with the laps then fill it with their sweat. Lazy, forren fucks. Need to learn the value of a days hard work.

It's all unfolding exactly the way we thought it would. "give him a chance!!" He's an absolute fuckwit who's 100% taking us down. The club needs to be destroyed before he lets go, down in flames please

There’s the excuse. Won the ball but could have broken his leg. That’s a bad one.

Aye, they have a reet fucking laugh. Nonstop bantz from the Brucemeister general #laaaaads

If his arms were longer he'd have saved that.

2 down within 15 mins then.

I think it should only be used to reverse clear and obvious mistakes. Make linos make a decision (flag down for onside or up for offside) on a tight offside and let the play flow. If it results in a goal then have a look at it. If the 2 lines are basically overlapping then go with the lino's call. If they're that close that you can't fit a sheet of paper between them then it's not a clear and obvious mistake. It should be there the correct the howlers, not the 2mm judgement calls. This is all imo obviously, I totally understand the black and white, yes or no, on or off arguments but I'd like the blokes on the park to call it as they see it. By all means correct their big mistakes but basically leave them to it. If it's ridiculously tight, go with their decision at the time.

To be fair Keys got his wife and his daughter's best mate mixed up for a while some time ago. The manky little pervert.
