The thread is full of anger. Full of jokes calling him a fat cunt. The fucking title is "How's the bacon? Did you say?" A lot of people of this board hate Bruce and have clearly said that. I do. I'm happy to admit that. It's got nothing to do with what happens on the pitch either. Before he came, he was just Steve Bruce, rubbish manager. What I found unacceptable was him coming in, happily jumping on the Mike Ashley "let's treat NUFC like shit" bandwagon, getting digs in at fans who were fighting for a better football club and trying to play the "geordie boy/NUFC fan come home" image. For that I think he's a cunt.

That's definitely what would happen on a £300 million deal. "Put your Out of Office on and wait until it they get fed up"

How many of those 10 years has he been in the premier league ?

He isn't going to be staying on man. He is if we don't get sold.

Can we get worked up if the club doesn't get sold please sir ?

What a sporting institution we are

Seems like a lifetime ago, that. When it all started. I've aged badly I think. It’s taken so long I’ve changes gender? Jinky Jane

Where did you get this from ? Sky news reported the meeting yesterday morning. Firstly that representatives from all the clubs would meet in a zoom call I guess and then they mentioned that there was a senior board meeting taking place later in the afternoon to discuss a number of issues. Sky News didn’t mention the takeover. I’m just making an assumption it was on the ticket. The last zoom meeting with all the clubs didn’t require senior level PL, so I’m guessing they were making bigger decisions? This isn’t ITK bullshit. Just an educated guess. But at least I own up to that ? I think you perhaps should have opened with the fact that you are basing it on what you heard on Sky News

A report about a report ?

Do we thank Benitez for being a game away from Wembley in the FA Cup too? True. Bruce really deserves credit for beating Rochdale after needing a replay, then Oxford in extra time after needing a replay and being outplayed for most of the game, then a Championship side. I'll give him that.

It feels like every journo under the sun is suddenly tweeting positive things based purely on the piracy stuff that came out yesterday. I'm not convinced, still, that any of them have any information.

Wasn't Bruce's tactic just to tell them to play how Rafa told them ?

I believe 'Doylems' was the word you used to describe people on here. That a compliment was it ?

Agreed. West Ham would be glorious.

How many times have we had these little bursts of optimism only for it to come to nothing ?

Sky deliberately lower the quality of non-HD channels because it encourages people to sign up to the HD package. Football on their non-HD channels is pretty much unwatchable. Is this really a thing that happens? I've suspected it myself but just brushed it off, thinking that i was daft.

Really doubt it. Ashley would probably give it a go though.

I'd say nothing at any point has been 'clear'.

Is this what happens before It Happen ?

Probably been told before takinG the stand that the PL have rejected the takeover and the grilling was the straw. That was my immediate thought too

Guy who broke the new evidence story then followed it up by confirming it was the WTO report. Cheers (and JH too)

Haven't a clue who Sean Ingle is? What's his background ?

I have to admire the blind optimism that there is on here, given what's gone on (or not as the case may be) over the past 11-12 weeks

That'll be his stomach.
