My forecast for a draw looking decent

No Gayle no CF

It is what it is, end of, since I walked through the door

Wouldn't be surprised if we get a draw but I hope we get stuffed.

As a Newcastle supporter would you be biased against Sunderland if you refereed one of their games? There is no way to guarantee that a referee may be biased

Bruce will use Hendricks pace and technical know-how to man mark Ronaldo out of the game and find the time to score a couple of goals

We got Hendricks for nothing?

Hope Rafa and Rondon receive rapturous applause when they come here and Bruce gets booed every time he licks his lips. I hate Bruce so much that I can't find words. When Rafa was here I even forgot about Ashley for a while though I know that he is the one who's caused this demolition of my club

I see that he is now in negotiations to sign Rondon. Can't wait for them both to come back to SJP with Everton top of the table and us at the bottom. Can you imagine the reception they'll get.

Why is it that we always defend on the edge of our 18 yard box, no wonder we concede goals. Defend further up the pitch then you haven't got so far to go on the counter and don't have to rely on ASM carrying the ball 90 yards every time

I watched Almiron yesterday and he looks like he's not enjoying his football at all. Think back to when he played under Rafa, those great big smiles and Bruce has destroyed whatever talent the lad had

Whining already about Rafa selling Armstrong. Getting his excuses in early. If we lose and Armstrong scores it will be down to Rafa.

Good luck, your better off anywhere but here at the moment

Surprised to read that Armstrong is now the fastest player in the PL.

If you love the club enough the current situation will make you hate what's happening enough not to go

Hope he gets his move, he deserves it. Been very loyal to us through difficult times.

Looking to sign Phil Jones from Man U It can't get much worse

I noticed once against West Ham where Jones came up to the side of Bruce and was talking to him, probably offering his opinion or advice. Bruce didn't quite turn his back but he certainly showed no interest in what Jones had to say and therein lies the problem. When Jones arrived he said "All I can do is offer my opinion, it is up to the manager wether he listens or not"

I've seen a lot of things to be positive about. Like another nail in Bruce's coffin

ASM just can't play for 90 minutes with the way he plays. He's brilliant at the start but once it gets to the hour mark you can see that he is knackered, spends a lot of time on his arse appealing for fouls. Be a terrible waste I know but bringing him on for the last half hour when other teams are tiring would be a nice luxury to have

Once ASM is knackered, which is normally after an hour, then we are knackered

Not been a draw in t he PL yet so this could be it

We are fortunate to have the luxury of 2 pacey midfielders in Shelvey and Hendrick.

Probably sell ASM now to cover the cost

Bruce has obviously knocked down Mike's door.
