It's not innocuous though. If you constantly tell your partner / kids that they're not good enough, they'll eventually start to believe you and will achieve less. He's telling a whole city they're not good enough. He wants us to want less for ourselves. That's the club policy - Accept less. It starts from what the manager says, he's the mouthpiece of the club. Everyone should have aspirations. You should always try to get better, to improve, to be the very best you can. None of us should accept mediocrity, because the moment you do you're condemning yourself to just that. What constantly telling? He said we can't win the league but we might be able to get a cup. What do you disagree with in his statement? All of it. Fuck off man if you seriously think they want to win a cup.

Bruwcie still waiting to play his song. Oh wait...

But nobody is even debating that, but to have your manager come out before the season starts to remind us of it (adding the, great day out comment) just takes the piss. Part of the reason we can't compete in this league is the fact that we have the worst manager in the league now. Nar, it's not. He's come out and said exactly the same as us for the last ten years which is a pretty realistic assessment of our situation. If he'd said we were going to compete with the big boys this season he'd have got slated for that too. What he's said isn't particularly unreasonable considering our ownership situation, it seems no matter what he says he'll get stick. Fair enough, you might say but attacking him for a perfectly reasonable view on our prospects diminishes the effect of the actual bad stuff like attacking the fans protest. Crucify the man for attacking the fans, for the shite way he's treated a decent club who gave him a chance. Crucify him when the season starts and we're adrift before Christmas, for taking Ashley's money to help run his boyhood club into the ground. For saying our best chance of a trophy is a cup? Just pettiness. People are livid mate. It’s not a surprise they are attacking him for anything. Doesn't mean they have to be unreasonable and its getting upset about that sort of inoffensive remark that gets the "deluded Geordies" label thrown about. There are 15 odd teams who best chance of a trophy is a cup and only 6 who can compete for top. 4. Yes, it's Ashley's fault but what Bruce had said is correct at the mo. Now if he'd said we were in a relegation battle then that deserves whinging. Taken in context with his other quotes he’s basically saying we’re lucky to be in PL and will give a cup a shot. It’s Pardew all over again. Do you seriously think they give one fuck about winning a cup? Anyone who buys this bullshit needs shooting

What’s the fucking point man!

Think it was during that takeover stuff that Douglas (might’ve been Caulkin) said that that’s what they rely on - the morons who can’t stop going still going. If they actually stopped going Ashley would be fucked. Have you ever tried talking to one of them though? It’s like the Brexit thing, they just double down with bullshit believing some who doesn’t give a fuck about them.

Wraith is a cunt but ok

What if some random appeared out of nowhere and kissed his lass on the cheek? Peace smiley. They didn’t, someone called him a bald cunt It's an in-joke between me and Mandoon. I only hope he sees the funny side.

The peasant things that he said in retaliation to being verbally abused in the street? As far as I'm concerned he's well within his rights to say something back to someone abusing him. I mean his peasant comment was shite. But I've seen worse, every Saturday night for 30 years. Only nobody deems the average moron as newsworthy (unless they're promoting far-right populism, of course). Nah, he should be well aware of the club and area. No need, but he’ll not be the first multi-millionaire to say that. Tells you a lot about how modern day players see the fans

He’s inconsistent and disappears in a fair amount of games. Then the peasant thing killed it for me. He can fuck off

happy enough to ignore his total shithousery to sheff wed then? and his previous record for fucking clubs over to further his own ambition nice guy steve Or his playing a song bullshit if Sunderland beat us. The anaphylactic faced cunt can fuck off

Fuck me bruce looks a lot worse than I remembered, it’s like he’s had an anaphylactic reaction and his face has taken the brunt of it.

It's really not much to do with the manager. It's about keeping the club just in the PL and selling assets for more than you bought them. It's more like poor/spineless managers are more likely to do what they want. Exactly. Benitez was a nightmare for Ashley. We’ve gone back a decade now. Few big signings will keep the sheep bleating though

Not sure what the debate is about. We’ve gone back to the pardew era, Benitez gone now there’s a compliant ‘coach’ who will have (no) final say on signings. Carr gets ‘em in, then we sell ‘em high. If we’re unlucky we might qualify for Europe like pardew

He can fuck off with that peasant and council house shite as well. Shown his true colours there. Twat

Then people watch the games out of morbid curiosity, then people go to the games out of morbid curiosity... Not really Bet some will. Some of the comments on the chronic and Newcastle pages on facet are depressing. Full of ‘let’s get behind him’ crap

After that motivational speech I think people better rush to buy a season tickets quick before they sell out. Ah, so we're back to that agenda then. Little old Newcastle. Notwithstanding the enormous opportunity we've wilfully just refused. That’s pretty unfair on him. Look at the two lines after your last bolded line, pretty accurate I’d say.

I’m sure he’ll lose most games without even trying

Fair play He’ll have gone first class, not really a hardship Economy under Ashley. Definitely economy on a low cost carrier, might've been given a 5 pound meal voucher if he was lucky Full three seats, one for each arse cheek

Fair play He’ll have gone first class, not really a hardship

Just had this from a very good mate who is in the last year of the 10 year deal: Discussed giving up the season ticket. I could quite easily, but the missus will want to go shopping on Saturday & I'll miss the day oot with the lads

He’ll have a fucking heart attack, nevermind cry

Nah, I think Carr will be in charge of that bit, Bruce is just there to make sure another 5th place Pardews fluke 5th place doesn’t happen

That’s me out. This is the last straw for me. Will follow what’s happening on here but I’m not watching another game until he’s gone. Back to being a yo-yo advertising board, buying young and cheap and selling on and just.....existing club. I really thought this summer we’d change hands. :'(
