The low one at WHL a few years back is the worst I have seen

We’ve basically gone from a smooth Ferrari to a Nissan Micra with a dodgy exhaust

This - classic Bruce - in that stupid low voice of his

I for one am shocked. Having watched the shambles I don't get what he's doing either - Did Hayden really play on the wing at the weekend?

Played out of position for large parts - was supposed to be on the left of a 3 man midfield to replace Iniesta - likewise Dembele would be on the left of a front 3 to replace Neymar What transpired was Valverde playing a 4-4-2 to go completely against Barca's adopted 4-3-3 policy, mainly to bring Messi inside - what he did with this was revolve everything around Messi, everyone else becoming redundant in the team - Coutinho got shoved to play as essentially a LW, Dembele as a RW, Barca have lost their attacking flow due to this, all their play these days is so pedestrian and laboured - the players they have are good, but the system is just killing them Then at the weekend, he goes and plays Griezemann as a LW - he looked completely lost poor guy Valverde is on the Patsy levels of incompetence - literally makes things up as he goes along

Called them into training yesterday to work on pulling up their socks first Whoah, Whoah, Whoah! Slow your horses mate, they've got to put their boots on first, if they don't he'll not forgive them! Pre-game instructions for next Saturday 1. Put on boots. 2. Pull up socks 3. Roll up sleeves 4. Spread oot 5. Get stuck in You missed 6. Get wuh backsides kicked Missed 7 - “Do it for mee dad cos he’s a Geordie”

Joao Felix is amazing

Shearer can fuck off with that - let’s blame the foreign lad who was actually quite good under a proper manager

:lol: Same. If he spoke normally and never pretended to be a Newcastle fan it wouldn't have been half as bad He tends to go into this mode when he’s feeling the heat - he is out for sympathy

The bloke has killed this season for me - I can’t seem to watch any football on TV with enjoyment - literally feel nothing for the game at the moment

Piss off with this shit - Bruce clearly had the better day out in his final compared to Rafa’s all put together

Have a bet with my cousin we won’t get more than 15

Not sure when the elections are - it’s a shambles, regardless of the leagues he’s won - they have gone so far away from their own policy - Cruyff would have been fuming had he seen this football - whoever is in charge of recruitment needs to go to

Another who suffered as a result of Valverde changing to a 4-4-2 (basically Messi no longer wanted or could play on the right of a front 3) Coutinho was bought to replace Iniesta on the left of a 3 man midfield - instead he found himself pushed out wide, couldn’t impact matches from there and steadily lost his confidence Barca should really adopt Rafa’s 3-4-2-1 system

This - they have shifted away from 4-3-3 since Valverde took over - the football is horrible - I have no idea how they will play Griezemann once Messi returns - their transfer business last 2 years has been shocking

OMG Adruiz

Main point being his dads a Geordie

I mean he’s only had 1 FULL season playing in CM - FML

Only 1 game for the first 3 weeks

It’s just clever recruitment/scouting - have a budget to buy players - if any are sold then top up the budget - very simple approach - maybe NUFC should try it

I thought Premier Sport had La Liga?

I just can’t stand this twat (Bruce) - ruined an entire season after just 1 match - hate everything about the fuckwit

No away goals this year is there? Erm is there not? No wonder so many goals are going in....?

Porto heading out of CL at this rate Ajax in a hole too

Are these the same people who do the post match podcast (Alex Hurst?)? Used to like listening to that - might not bother now
