  1. Passing is always sideways and backwards - coupled with sitting far too deep. Watching with the lads I support at work and they are both foaming with this.
  2. What happened to the lad called Lundstrom for Sheff United? Am sure he was on the verge of an England cal up last season?
  3. VAR check for handball....... Given
  4. Sheff United 1 Man United 0 McGoldrick Huge mistake from Henderson
  5. He's had such a full from grace since Huddersfield Not the sharpest tool in the box, I would suggest.
  6. From 365's Winners and Losers; Steve Bruce The next time Mark Lawrenson claims Newcastle fans are “never happy” because “they want to win the Champions League”, show him the last quarter of an hour against Leeds on Wednesday. Steve Bruce said it himself: it was “something you see on a park on a Sunday” an “embarrassing” and “unacceptable” collapse under more pressure than his system is designed to cope with. But he quite neatly summed up the argument against his tenure after a match that encapsulated the fans’ frustrations. “Up until 75 minutes I was comfortable,” he said, at which point Newcastle had eight shots to Leeds’ 20 and 28.6% possession. And therein lies the problem: Bruce is “comfortable” with ceding the ball, the chances and the authority to a newly promoted team so long as the scoreline is close towards full-time. Newcastle supporters justifiably crave more, particularly when they watch a Leeds side that dominated the Championship on a modest wage budget and has continued to imprint its own style on teams in a higher division. That comes with the possibility of heavy defeats to Leicester and Crystal Palace but also the promise of evenings like this. Newcastle might well finish higher but what memory will they have of this season? Leeds, even leaving aside the emotional nature of their long-awaited return, have created more enduring moments than in Bruce’s entire St James’ Park reign. They exist to entertain, to excite. Newcastle just exist. They won’t go down. They won’t finish in the top half. The same can be said of Leeds but at least they are building towards something meaningful, an intangible connection between the manager, the players and the fans. Bruce is performing perfectly to his remit. It’s just that said remit is wrong. When supporters are given overwhelming reason to glance enviously at a club with whom they are level on points with a game in hand, there is a deep-rooted problem.
  7. Those last two tweets on stats are entirely damning. I hope one of the journalists pulls Cabbageheed up on it, at the next press conference.
  8. He looked like he could be a player, under Benitez, but he has regressed so much since then. Is it a lack of confidence and/or coaching? Something definitely not right.
  9. Bruce should be thankful that there are no supporters at NUFC games, otherwise you would think he would be getting dogs abuse from wor lot.
  10. Bruce excuses tonight? Covid, tiredness - we've got to do better, etc, etc.
  11. Just switched radio on. We lucky to be level, with the usual cabbage-ball?
  12. He was a proper radgie as a player. Always seemed to be sent off when he came up to Newcastle. "His first dismissal came after he threw his elbow into the face of Newcastle United player Franz Carr. There had been no friction between the two players with Dicks saying of the incident "Not to this day do I know why I did it. I had it in my mind that I was going to elbow him, and that was it — bang!"" Like I said.

  14. From another forum; "For what it’s worth, he was sacked before yesterday but still was nice enough to take the team due to the fact that Allardyce hadn’t had Covid clearance. Would have been even more interesting if they’d won last night " WBA board have been taking lessons from Mike Ashley. Cunts!
  15. He was a very good player. Had forgot he retired at 27. Also worth noting that he also penned 'The Anfield Rap'.
