Evening lads. I take it my £10 on NUFC to nab a smash and grab win still has a bit of hope?

https://www.gambling.com/news/bookmakers-make-cardiff-largest-epl-match-underdog-ever-1884700 Cardiff apparently started at 100/1 but dropped to 35/1 on the day. Mentions the precious record before that was Huddersfield (again v City) at 40/1. Not a clue if that was on the day or dropped as well.

James Milner probably would have had a shout but born on wrong year Eh? This doesn't make any sense to me Glad I'm not the only one. Even jumped on his Wiki to see if I was missing something.

Let them laugh now. We'll have the last laugh. GROUP BET.

Is this Giggs? I can't say I've seen any discussion about it. Why the fuck would you implement this?

Soz Yorkie think Sho'Time insulted you by mixing us up. FWIW I'm not actually stupid enough to put £20 on an NUFC win tonight. Definitely sticking with £5. Maybe a tenner if I'm feeling frisky.

Yeah I don't imagine this will affect many who were still going to games before Covid hit. I feel like those saying they're truly 'done' if this doesn't happen are mostly the same ones who already weren't going to go to anymore games and only started getting drawn back in because of the takeover rumours. Although the only reason I believe that is because I fall in to that category.

Think he'd make it five decades if his scores in the 2020s? Ridiculous

You've sold it to me, boys. Let's make it £20.

How far back are we going? Stanley Matthews?

I can't decide if it's the sponsor or the kit in general that makes it look awful.

Don't know why but I've got a sneaking suspicion of a potential smash and grab. Neither team with much more to play for and potentially quite a few changes to the lineup for the unpredictability factor. Or maybe I'm just trying to convince myself £5 at 20-25/1 is a reasonable punt.

Having double checked it looks like Chopra was out the door the summer that Bruce was arriving. Hard feelings over not being given a chance? That is if Bruce was even in place at the time the decision was made.

Aye wonder what's gone on there. Bruce hasn't managed Chopra has he? Did they cross paths at Sunderland? Either way, what a little cocktease Chops is.

Aye, she’s a pane Lock the thread, It's peaked.

I'd say creep isn't as bad as weirdo because if you're a weirdo you're an absolute freak as well. Depends though; do you hate Steve Bruce or do you hate the creeps who hate Steve Bruce? Creep to me implies some form of sexual deviancy. Whereas a weirdo can be more innocent, like left handed people, Warhammer nerds or people who have fish on pizza. Edit - people who do the milk before water for tea are both iyam I just creep around virgins. Don't know about you. I rest my case Thought I'd put forward a fair case as well then Shearergol comes in to prove me utterly wrong.

Why are you angry that we're on 43 points in 33 games? How do you enjoy asking these questions over and over again? I'm not angry. I'm quite definitively non-plussed over this whole season, mainly over my disillusionment thanks primarily to Ashley. Am I not allowed to continue disliking Steve Bruce as much for his personality as his management ability? Funnily enough I feel like the only time I posted more than an off the cuff snarky comment that explained a lot of people's dislike of Bruce is clearly about more than just whatever points total we get this year, it was one of those times I didn't see you engage at all. But obviously you couldn't just ask me 'but is he doing okay?' in response. I showed my (non toon fan) friend this thread earlier today. He was embarassed at the comments. "Why do they hate him so much? I just don't get it." No Daniel, I don't either. It's a very negative messageboard. Not just on Steve Bruce, but most of the players tbf. Very negative, very snide. That's NO Online. It's nowt really to do with Bruce hate, Yes he managed the Mackems, and yes his managerial record is wank, But its what's gone on here in the Ashley era, and whoever followed Rafa wasn't going to get the respect. But with Bruce if he was any kind of Newcastle fan which he isn't any kind of Geordie that he might like to pretend to be at times, he would have steered clear of working under this regime, most of us thought we'd turned the corner with Rafa, but it was more piss poor treatment, like Keegan and Houghton before hand. With Bruce I'm glad he's proving the doubters wrong, I'm glad the club are doing well and players may be happy? But I don't suppose I'd be bothered if Bruce was sacked tomorrow or even if the new owners don't want him. I cant deny hes done ok, but I genuinely think any of the current PL managers would have done equally as good if not slightly better, and we have had some lucky moments this season. Dont hate him, but I didn't want him as manager to start with and if we get taken over I'd hope he's replaced immediately. But as things stand I hope he does the best he possibly can. ?? Of course it is. :lol: A lot of posters just simply HATE HIM on this board. It's weird. It's strange. But that's how they feel. So gutted I went with a shit meme instead of engaging like an adult. Means I missed out on such a reasoned response as this.

Oh, my bad. Sorry for the embarrassment caused on your part. Do send Daniel my apologies on behalf of the forum. Even though I don't really understand how that particularly covers much if any of what I said. Exactly why I rarely have the energy to properly 'engage'. Have fun in here.

What argument? There's no discussion. I simply remain bewildered as to why you get angry over people's dislike of someone you accept is shit, simply because he's done 'okay'. Quite honestly, I don't even recall you engaging with me until now. I pop in now and then with a dickish comment that usually gets ignored. god damnit

The fuck is cazoo?

FYP

How had I never realised/heard about this? Is there a video of it anywhere? On a search I found this article on the Man U reserves guard of honour, including Dong Fangzhuo who got so sick of being recognised as a failure he got plastic surgery.
