It's jumping in here.

And this is my United state of whatever

Absolutely nobody was anywhere near sober.

Jesus, you can really tell he wrote those books like

BTW our encounter was when he was still perceived as a loveable mad drunk, prior to everyone going wew he's actually a crazy alchie who isn't very well at all.

Mannnn I was fucking chuffed at the time, telt me granda about it asap

He kissed me on the lips at 3am in the taxi queue outside Centre For Life for letting him push in as he was getting hassled. Must have been about 10 years ago. Used to tell people about this all the time but feel far less special now reading this thread Are you me? Oh no, another one!

:lol:

Gets paid £6m a year for doing next to nowt yet has the gall to slag off foreign managers who devote most of their life to mastering the sport. Arrogant wanker.

Look at the fucking state of that, man.

People in the Chronicle comments section siding with Ashley over Corbyn ffs

If everyone ignores him he might go away one day.

Tbf he didn't have any interest in us whatsoever until July this year.

Similar to what I was saying, as far as I know this has never happened. It's such a novel excuse that there is no known example of a manager using it in over 150 years of professional football being played.

"Quickly worked out"

Hang on, does anyone else ever remember hearing this bollocks? A new manager saying he's finding it impossible to change things after his predecessor? Take a step back and look at the state of that for a second. This utter chancer is trying to convince us he's a football manager. For absolute fucks sake man

Massive try-hards. Embarrassing.

Pahahahaha look at them mugs trying to better themselves at unnecessary expense.

‘We were very disappointing and got our backsides kicked. You have to show pride about yourself and make sure you put it right.’ Waheyyyyyyy!

Be amazed if he's not on record somewhere talking about managing the expectations etc n all. Bloke is floundering even worse than I thought he would. You'd think it was his first job the way he's carrying on. In one of his first interviews as NUFC manager he said “I had to grasp it, I knew it was going to be difficult. I just hope that people show the respect which you obviously only get by getting a few results and doing the job, but hopefully that’ll go hand in hand" So he's slightly changed tack in that actually he now wants people to show respect while he's getting shit results and we look a total shambles on the pitch. Cheeky cunt.

All managers are self centred. If someone offered you £2m a year to do a job you knew were totally incapable of doing, with the guarantee of a huge payout when you inevitably fail, would you take it? It's a total no-brainer. Steve Bruce either knew, when he took the job, just how out of how depth he was going to be in the PL this season and didn't care, or he genuinely and foolishly thought his outdated football management could see us compete this season. Either way you can't blame the fat pudding for accepting the job. Yeah I can. Maybe in different circumstances I couldn't, but when he came into the job 1) completely fucking over a club that had been good to him through hard times and 2) cynically playing upto this geordie homecoming bullshit rhetoric that had never been heard about in his 30+ years in football before this, then yeah I can.

Bruce really shouldn't have taken the job knowing he was going to be this f***ing s*** at it and unable to deal with the mildest criticism. It's as if he took the job for entirely self centred reasons but that can't be right since he's such a nice bloke and a massive toon fan.
