Doctor Zaius

Daniel Story writes consistently well on NUFC, one of the few journalists that seem to get it.

Sacked from Reading after 1 win in 18 and in his second season. 17 games with Zwolle and now he has Feyenoord sat 10th. How far was Bruce down the list man?

What the fuck is he doing in the time they're training?

Imagine being from Bulgaria and genuinely thinking you're part of a master race. Look around you ffs.

Whats the story with Blue Star then? Loads of new investment? I know they folded about 10 or so years ago like.

Isnt he highly rated at Everton?

'The balkans' is a fairly contentious term anyway, Slovenia is considered by some/most as part of the balkans but Slovakia flat out isnt. Vladamir Beara was considered one of the best in the world at the time of Lev Yashin.

Not even that, it was only about 8 appearances. He came into a team that was in form too. There's definitely a player in there, but there's still a massively unknown quantity about him. Those 8 games might not be a true representation of his quality over the course of a season. I thought it was incredible when he was getting touted for Man Utd and England.

Cheeky cunts asking for a cab fare home. You know exactly what you're letting yourself in for when you travel to watch Steve Bruce's Newcastle. Fair enough, go, enjoy the day on the drink, but dont act like its in any way suprising we've been humped.

Bruce gone by December I think. Allardyce paid an absolute fortune to come in and attempt to save us. Wild celebrations from the SJP loyelest supportas as we scrape 17th on the final day of the season. Fair play to big mike for acting when necessary, credit where credits due, pass me a season ticket renewal form.

Suggesting the sacking of a manager 6 games into a new season is ludicrous in my opinion, never mind the fact that he's a club legend which would probably buy him a bit more time anyway. What was ludicrious was appointing him before the season was even out. Sentimentality around a club legend is why they appointed him and are subsequently stuck with him anyway.

Give him time ffs He's been shite for ages, they've had a shite start to the season, he has absolutely no track record of managing at this level and they're showing no signs of changing. Give him all the time in the world, he's not going to turn anything around or gain any semblance of consistency because hes a shit manager who is out of his depth. Awful appointment, was always going to happen.

Anyone wishing them any sort of luck needs to have a word with themselves like. Probably the same nuggets that used to want them to stay up because 'they'd miss the derby' before we used to get pumped every time.

John Beresford interview on Undr the cosh is canny like. Quite like is as a podcast, basically just anecdotes. Almost like a talk in as a podcast. Hosted by Jon Parkin and ex mackem pornstar Chris Brown.

Atrocious defending from PVA too.

Benteke is so bad like. Like he's forgotten how to play football.

/Whos actually worse than us? Watford and Villa? The latter you'd expect to grow into the season given how many signings they made. Sat watching Palace here and they're so much better organised. Brighton looked better than us yesterday and at least have a decent coach now. Sheffield United and Norwich have had good starts although could fade. You wouldnt expect Southampton to go down either really. Long way to go but I cant see us getting better and Its not looking like one of those seasons where their is a load of shite at the bottom of the table. 8

Which Jonjo Shelvey were you expecting? Remember that video where he's bent over double gasping for breath when he was a Swansea player? He's not fit for purpose, nothing to do with his ability. Yesterday was more than him being unfit I reckon. He wasnt even making himself an option for a pass.

What an absolute joke of a footballer. Wasnt even remotely trying today. Get fucked.

It in no way, shape or form feels like a cup final. Hopefully it goes better than his last cup final anyway.

I mean, I just didnt want to get the forum into legal trouble advocating harassment of his family etc.

He's 55 now and in atrocious condition physically. At massive heart attack might not be too far away like. I think even a fairly big, stress related health scare might tempt him into selling. He doesnt give a fuck about 'Sports direct shame'. In another country, or even another club with more of a militant fan base, his family and private life would have been targeted more. Especially with him being so protective over it. That would have been more effective in coercing him to sell. Not that im condoning that sort of stuff. Then you have questions about what is right and wrong, what is actually legal (intimidation and harassment definitely arent) and what is going too far.

I've seen both outcomes when this happens. The only reason they're letting you away with it is because you're profitable for them. Exactly. They must be making some decent coin from you. Start winning and they'll restrict your account, so that you're limited as to what you can bet on and how much you can bet.

Cheapest tickets at £43 as well. Almost 90 quid to go and watch fucking Spurs. Jesus, modern football really is trash.

Nope. Yeah.
