Looked to be a few empty seats in the Leazes under level 7

Not a chance that is true. I'd say there's a decent chance it's true. He was presumably on at least £100k a week at West Ham, the appearance would have to be large for him to contemplate a mainly pay as you play deal with a low basic and wages are generally higher for free transfers anyway The Sun saying it’s 70k everytime he plays 20k basic salary. Better get himself along to a food bank then.

So does that mean someone like Caulkin has left the times and is solely in this now?

What the fuck is it? Two goalkeepers?

The likes of Almiron, Saint-Maximin and Joelinton are a big step up from the likes of Riviere and Gouffran. They are also more physically capable than the likes of Thauvin and Cabella. Unfortunately for a lot of people on here, the team is going to be an exciting one to watch, and are likely to do well this season. Best prepare yourselves. Is this saracasm?

Last few sentences tell you everything you need to know. "It puts us with two at the top end of the pitch, which gives you a chance. "The last three or four months ththey've been playing that way anyway - certainly with three centre-backs. "We'll have a crack." Could you imagine being a player listening to that garbage compared to Benitez? Ryder is just another Anal Oliver clone. He’s on easy street now, pfm quotes galore. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that sounded like garbage. I was reading it thinking what the fuck is he trying to say? He’s doing the same as Pardew did: we’ve not really got a chance but if I stick two up top and boot it to them and we run a lot, I can blame forrins for a bit and lee Ryder will waffle a bit bit about front foot stuff and most of dumb cunts will lap it up

absolutely this. didn't say anything after that. Noticed that as well, looked a bit sheepish

He’s spot on there. Just took the mobile part out and the vid should show

Loki has been here ages like, and has always been sound as fuck. Very much disagree with his points on Bruce here, but he's not one of those mentalists that'll back anything the manager/Ashley says Yeah which makes what he’s saying more surprising.

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
