I agree with much of you say in terms of matchday romance and your wairn, but no other PL club exists to sell SD to the world at the expense of everything else. Been fed scraps to keep us turning on them this summer and exercising foresight we’ll a championship club again within 3 seasons given direction of travel.

I live near Essex and it’s rife with gossip. Heard he’s still a massive pisshead/shagger

They could not endorse it but that evidently is problematic.

who’s cheap and will get profit from. Whether they complement the team or whoever the chump of a coach they choose is neither here nor there

It’s disgusting. People who watch football for free and have little to no idea what it is to be a normal fan. They should have done humility and shut up.

To what end though? Won’t get you a boycott.

I’m morbidly curious about how this pans out over time. ‘What is happening?’ Isn’t a great sign

They aren’t wums just representative of the wider fanbase

Here we go. 1 down never a sniff of coming back returning

Aye bit of a self fulfilling prophecy when it’s like that

Thing is those words are meaningless. It’s not our club in any tangible way other than atmosphere and that being good in front of SD signs serves Ashley. I know it’s all the hope and excitement of a new season but it’ll go south it always does - because it’s ashleys monster. If that’s negative so be it - I’m right

If it was all about a pay day here have gone sooner. Nobody will ask him that though.

Looks like zlatan pressing his face against glass

I will be. Never been part of the don’t care camp but i’ll not support Ashley in any conceivable way. Simple as that.

I’ve also no problem with your opinion btw. The situation as is however - they’ve got justification to whinge. Say Bruce does well as Pardew did? Does he push like Rafa? Or does he toe the line? You can enjoy the moment and switch it off and good for you - plenty can’t. I will find it very bizarre if the likely happens after people pay their money and expect their gripes to be taken seriously. Sad as that is, we all know who’s fault it is.

I can respect that just as you’ll have to respect people can’t just turn anger off either. Does it cloud their judgement? Sometimes. I for one will never just accept the situation because it’s easier. Life’s also too important to fund exploitative wankers. Lots of fans go for the right reasons and I for one won’t knock people who go or dictate how they spend their time or money. But to be objective. Bruce plays that card without qualification - he’s open to be scrutinised. He has his chance whether I like it or not. He wouldn’t get carte Blanche in any other walk of life and these people get handsomely for it. Even if he’s lowest paid.

If it was isolated it wouldn’t be but it’s like many of the messages the club put out - cynical and repeated. The bloke has talked about being a Geordie as if it means a damn the moment he arrived and hadn’t stopped.

Ah fuck off man. Just pick the team and ditch the sickening PR

Some journos are proper weird

Jonas. Top shagger. Top lad. Spidermag

Someone had Bruce for double English ?

As a teacher (not an elite football coach ) you’re taught you are not friends with your students but a necessary figure of authority and your qualification backs that up. Lessons are always to be enjoyed, it’s work and in relation to other jobs they do relatively little (I know it’s relative) the best bosses are mentors and drivers. Last time I compare myself to Rafa Benitez

Enjoys his day out. By his own admission. Wonder if you levelled the support Ashley angle how he’d react. If you want to go that’s fine, but it makes any complaint about the star of affairs a bit of a joke.

I don’t think it can be underestimated how quickly lacking rafas regimen will potentially have things lapse tbh
