Yedlin playing for the Toon brought some random fans in I know who like the Americans playing in Europe and then they just latched on to a club if they didnt have one.

He was a good player under Rafa; know from people on my side of the pond who know him how highly he thinks of Rafa, the city, our fans, etc. Because you may not like his hair, or think he's no longer good (who really is under Bruce?) no need to have a go at a guy who's been jerked around by our shit-stain MD in Lee Charnley.

in hindsight, I'd have taken Moyes as the replacement for Rafa (if that had to be the option).

Robert is def one of my fav ever players

On current form I am not sure how you could see us getting any points the rest of this month and next.

It doesn’t matter what system he plays. It’s still lacking in everything his predecessor was known for and its devoid of any type of plan worthy of a top division football club.

Defending posters who’ve never offered a single bit of respect or contributed a single bloody positive thing over any period of their time here is moronic behavior.

Same.

no Jetro though

MBS is a the figurehead chairman who really only helps set high level direction when it’s on quite long laundry list of being crown prince and running the kingdom. I’m sure he is actually in tune with what is going on with this because it’s now public and he won’t want to lose or be embarrassed again. But the Governor of the PIF, our supposed future chairman, is the one who’s calling the ultimate shots day to day and an investment of this size is probably completely up to his discretion. This is all from what I understand how the PIF is run based on those who I know who have dealt with them. It’s very much like any other middle eastern swf, the head or chairman may set big target objectives but there are qualified and incredibly smart and diligent people handling the day to day.

Two False 10s. What the fuck does that even mean.

Agree. Also seems like he’s lost that bit of confidence he had beginning of the season too. Bruce’d.

If that’s the case Bruce will be gone soon anyway or it’ll not matter anyway as the club will be fucked anyway If we get sold, our best info says Bruce will be gone quickly. If we don’t get sold, and the league position is in contention, then Ma will likely sack him (too late) and who tf knows will replace him. You get the feeling we’re at the crossroads of prosperity and doom.

Nah there’s no stalling anymore. We will likely hear one way or another soon imo.

wow, they went absolutely in on Bruce. love it.

We'll fluke a few. I really don’t see how. We don’t get shots on target. We could not even manage to hold, pass, or create many chances to beat the worst side in the league - on current form I don't see us getting much of anything but draws at this point. If that.

we won't win another match under Bruce.

saaaaaack this cunt

GK: Dub/Darlow CB: Fede CB: Schar CB: Clark LM: Almiron CM: Matty DCM: Hyaden CM: Sean RM: Fraser ACM: Anderson ST: Wilson would have been canny.

Matty and Anderson should be bloody starting tonight.

Interesting, cheers Crofty and Ando.

Great article, Tino IDK, just something in football you miss or don't see much anymore, but it's those away nights in the CL when our team was bloody crap tbh and we had a powerhouse Barcelona showing up and Asprilla goes out and destroys them in front of the home fans. Special stuff. I wonder how KK's team would have fared in the CL that following season if he stayed on.

if the Qataris and Saudis are playing nice now - you'd easily see them saying internally, alright, lets not piss them off again and go down this expensive rabbit hole. Play nice, keep the money flowing.

As if the PL's executive board cares who truly runs a club - it's all about the cash flow stream to them and the TV rights' holders are the most important to the viability of the league. NBC, Sky, BeIN, etc are all the loudest voices in the room to the league.

Bruce is the worst.
