That contrasted with: Joe Kinnear Alan Pardew John Carver Steve McClaren Steve Bruce

In fairness to Keys (yeah, I know) he just seems to have beef with Saudi Arabia full stop, mainly as he accuses them of stealing and showing BeIN sports streams.

Imagine needing that much attention. Utter fanny.

Wish him nothing but misery in his future endeavours.

It's win-win for him, he'll get a pay-off and some sympathy either way. Which is about the best case scenario for a serial loser like Bruce. If kept on for a while then the support he'll get from his mates in the press will be nauseating and when he's inevitably binned off for being shit it'll be "poor Steve". If binned off immediately, there'll be sympathy, a pay-off and conveniently avoiding the situation going to absolute shit so he can always say he was doing a good job. He's already at a far bigger club than his work merits, the question of whether he deserves the job could have been asked and answered at the time of his appointment but generally wasn't as it made perfect sense as a Mike Ashley appointment and Bruce has a favourable relationship with some journalists. There's absolutely no question now of whether this below average, behind the times manager deserves a job at a PL club with ambition. He doesn't.

Quality that, thanks Yorkie

Will it be a football quiz or a small clique of mates?

Fuck you, I have dyspraxia you little cunt. Do you two have history? Usernames confuse me. I always think it's the same person. This has been a bad morning.

Basically described the way I feel. Moved away from Newcastle in 2013, which made it easier to lose touch with the club. Think I've only been to two games since then. Really similar tbh although it's more recently my interest has properly waned. Think it was around the January in the Championship last time when Rafa started getting fucked around when I realised I knew how it ended and it was utterly pointless watching it unfold. I partly stopped going to less away games due to that, partly due to them being a challenging experience for a recovering alcoholic And noticed I was just half watching games on telly and streams. Then this season I was back to the Pardew bullshit - feeling absolutely nowt when we scored and not really being certain that I even wanted us to win. A few likeable players sort of holding my interest but even that wasn't the same fun it was. So this is happening now and I'm not that arsed, not yet anyway. If/when we start making strides towards behaving like a proper football club that wants to improve itself year on year then I should feel the interest tingling again, but like Wullie says once the tap is switched off it's not always as simple as switching it back on again.

Confirmed: Happiness breaks N-O Careful now

Nahhhhhh.

Go on then

That was fucking rock Really enjoyable again though, thanks nees.

Yup. The problem with this though is that you then have 6 months to play with at the start of 2023 and are delaying the dilemma. Plus I hope by some miracle FIFA are held accountable for this bollocks and the Qatar World Cup won't end up happening.

Said this before but I'd finish this season then restructure the league next season so there are less fixtures, e.g. Split the leagues in 2 as a one-off and perhaps have some play offs at the end for added interest. Then if there aren't any further outbreaks you'd potentially be back to normal after that.

Works for me, nees

Hang on... TBG King of GIF. WHAT? General Member Phew, it's areet actually.

Remember the touch line reporter saying Ginola was furiously shouting "why won't they let me play football?" as he went off, and 12 year old me thinking "omg our left winger is a proper tortured soul poetic genius, it's so sad".

Sorry, jk branko.

I'm out.

We're fucked. I'm in again, loved it last time

Don't think so personally, writing styles completely different.

Also our home form wasn't the issue in 95/96. 5 points dropped all season. IIRC we almost expected to win all of our home games but our away form wasn't quite good enough, particularly after Christmas. So not sure home wins were giving us that much of a lift when we knew there was a good chance we'd let ourselves down away.

So good, that And fair play to the keeper for his part
