Shak

That song

Looks like he's wandered into a salad bar and is looking sadly up at the menu.

God it'll be depressing if he's there on Sunday. Will legitimately be the first game I've watched since Rafa left, really excited to feel the atmosphere in SJP, the new beginning after a truly horrible decade. Probably won't massively matter long term but Steve Bruce just represents so much of what we're trying to leave behind us. Feels like Sunday could be a day we remember for years to come and I don't want the guy to be part of it, simple as that.

It'll be such a dampener on Sunday if this fuckslug is still in the dugout. I can't believe for a second that he adds anything positive to the preparation for the game, just get rid of him and put a caretaker in charge. Figure it out from there.

I teach a Saudi woman who's really into football. Asked her if she thought many people would stop supporting their teams and just change to being Newcastle fans, she reckons pretty much everyone there will. Definitely a big deal for them. I'm happy about the takeover, football is too utterly fucked for me to ever care about it even half as much I used to but it'll be nice to support a team that tries to win things.

This seems the way to go, not sure who but someone who'll come in and give the place a bit of a lift and get them playing good football. And stay up, of course

Must have thought this wasn't gonna happen or surely he'd have held off. Everton is a pretty great spot too for him tbf given his family and all that.

Yeah, really the only question for me should be whether they'll hire someone short term to get us through the season and then get their man in or if they want to make the long term appointment now. God I really wish Rafa had held on. Would love to know how he feels right now, he must wonder about what could have been.

Surely the PL came away from it feeling like this whole thing wasn't gonna go their way and made the agreement to let it through if they sorted the BEIN thing? Don't think the timing is coincidental.

Nice to imagine he's in a tunnel about to be hit by a train.

She was legit impressed by the way I committed to it, honestly

Disappointing lack of salutes, lads I'm definitely gonna do it more often, it's outstandingly refreshing.

Few cans at home, stupid family

Gutted I can't be in Newcastle tonight... However, Shak 3:16 says I just drank some cans. Let's have your best salutes, lads.

I know what you mean, think I'll never get that feeling back. Maybe now we can just support the team a sensible amount and not have it take over our lives, though?

Fuck I'd give anything to be there man.

Man, what a day. My emotions are all over the place. Wish I could be in Newcastle tonight... Might get a couple of cans and do a stone cold salute instead.

Die screaming.

I mean, if this was my first exposure to Wraith I'd think this was a pretty good interview.

I move we embed this at the top of the forum. I don't think there's a better clip to sum up the last 24 hours.

Thought that was gonna be a joke and the plane was gonna crash or some shit.

We won't be signing any good players.

Man, that post LFEE. People like you who did so much work the last few years are heroes and better than a lot of the fanbase deserves. Thanks so much for all you did, sounds like your father was rightly proud.
