I'm surprised he is still here now,he would have been sacked by now at most other clubs and maybe the fact that Quinn is an ex-player and believes in giving managers time has went against us. No win in 14 games in his first season followed by no win in 9 this season and 1 point from a possible 27 at one stage would have seen most managers sacked,Bruce is lucky to still be in a job and the last day win at West Ham has made it look better than it is for him. I would agree, which is why I think it'll be interesting between the two clubs next season. Unless fatty does something crazy again, I expect us to keep Pardew for the entire season, thus giving us some stability. However I can see Bruce getting the boot at some point, meaning you lot will have a degree of upheaval, which might be disruptive.

Wearside - do you expect to still have Bruce as your manager this time in 12 months or so? From an outside point of view, I think this is definitely do-or-die for him, especially if he's given a sizeable amount of money from Short and doesn't sustain a Waffa Cup place.

Response from Luke Edwards, 'there was an original bid rejected and I think there are people inside the club who want to put in another one! #murky'

I tweeted Edwards asking how significant the word 'improved' is and if its likely to mean there was a first bid. Shall wait and see.

LukeEdwards0 Luke Edwards Murky world of #nufc transfer dealings gets murkier. Club denying improved bid has been made for Kevin Gameiro, as for Gervinho, possibly!

nowt new like. Infact, its more about Sol and Shefki leaving, and what kids might be/have been released. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/05/25/pardew-clears-the-decks-72703-28760274/2/#ixzz1NMUqyGko

forgot all about that one!

themichaelowen michael owen @SkySports Why are you making things up? Please show me the quote where I am supposed to have said that. themichaelowen michael owen @SkySports Just because I don't expect to be picked doesn't mean I've given up. Another example of twisting words to get a good headline.

Malcolm (!) made a good point vs. one mackem on the legends last night. Following an argument about Bruce signing free players/finishing higher/5-1, Malcolm asked him how many new players he hoped for. The reply was 6. Malcolm pointed out they've got 5 going back from loan deals, and Zenden leaving. So 6 would just be enough to cover that, adding no further depth. Mackem couldn't say much more than 'well yes'. Its going to be hard for them to replace their outgoings, considering pretty much all were either in the first XI or on the bench. Its not like they're losing real bit-part players.

if the Journal are calling him a winger, and reckon he and Pardew agreed to meet, is this likely to be the international midfielder playing in the continent he hoped to have tied up soon?

Gibson, Obertan and Bebe on now. Shits going down.

Giggs!!! has assisted.

Thought that. They're f***ing obsessed with using that title. More like fucking 'Rabid Dogs'

Malcolm's dug up some article from SkySports with quotes from Bruce saying he's looking at a few Bosman's. Opened a real can of worms. They're calling up and aren't happy for him mocking them.

are they the same kids that Tony Pulis goes into the offy to buy booze for?

It seemed to be like he was just reporting facts. Apparently not... yup.

if you turned Shola into glue, he'd be your pound shop pritt-stik that doesn't fucking work.

aye like that, but without Coloccini, and it was on a home top.

must admit if I were to buy it, I'd copy one person I saw at SJP with this seasons top with, I WANT CURLY HAIR 2

this is fucking quality.

in all honesty, what I've seen of him has been pretty much on youtube. Christ, I could be Dennis Wise, me. Shame my eyes aren't wobbly though.
