So the Mag's take is "further setback" the Chronicle's angle is "encouraging news" https://www.themag.co.uk/2019/09/steve-bruce-confirms-further-delay-in-andy-carroll-playing-for-newcastle-united/ https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/andy-carroll-injury-update-newcastle-16880640

This seems a bit harsh, I didn't hear anyone "slamming" him. https://nothingbutnewcastle.com/2019/09/blogs/gallowgate-gossip/newcastle-fans-slam-longstaff/

Got a lower attendance because people couldn't be arsed due to it being Watford than we did during an organised boycott against Arsenal ffs.

Yeah, everyone's fucked https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/steve-bruce-six-players-struggling-16820413

Obviously we've only had three games, but Pardew did this kind of thing to flatter to deceive as well didn't he? Lose without threatening week in, week out against unimpressive teams, then now and again when the players motivated themselves without his intervention because they were playing Arsenal or Man City we'd pull an improbable win out of somewhere and that's all neutrals would watch or remember.

Keep forgetting this even happened.

Pretty fucking wank portfolio then.

In that respect, finishing top half would be seen as a failure because it means they've got the sums wrong and over budgeted.

The jewels cleam strong with this one.

Surely Perez has to be in there, he's down as a 6.5 midfielder and he's been banging them in upfront all pre-season.

Didn't actively renew, was more that I'm so fucked off (with NUFC and in general) that I've not even thought about it and allowed the payments to come out. Will probably boycout more than just Sunday.

George Weah's cousin?

Totally forgot about this, just got my "pack" with cheesy leather card holder, Fairs Cup coins etc. Apparently its not "just" the start of another exciting season.

Another 20 or so draws to come this season then?

Depressing amount of folk wandering around in the new kit, it's particularly shapeless

Birmingham away in the cup when he was there there was a good rendition of "Stevie Bruce has a face like a melted welly". To the tune of... I dunno, we used to sing "Aston Villa stayed at home and watched it on the telly". Was that to One Man Went to Mow a Meadow? The tunes picked for chants are weird.
