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

It’s like stath sells flats

There’s also the notion we’ll be unhappy with what he’s said (over expectant) it’s the naked truth.

Obviously has a brain in his head

He’s spent. Fucking deluded

He’s already painted us as near violent expectant idiots in all but lexis.gets away with murder

Life’s too important to be taken for a mug year on year. None of us want to be angry. Maybe some but a lot I see is a lot of excitement that the football is back and that’s fair enough but along with that is a lot of dissonance exactly of the like mclaren was here.Thats been countered in some quarters that they’ll positive aspects and a discipline carrying over but the point there being that cornerstone was allowed to walk and along with that those methods. Football is fucking barmy. Imagine losing a headteacher at a school with a CBE and knighthood for turning a failing school round then binning him off and glibly expecting/blindly hoping for better/equal results. No other walk of life with the funding the PL has would tolerate this and hope for success.

Oh god not this again.

Completely up in the air for the wrong reasons as per

It seems if you place blah into a valid argument several times it is a great way to counter it. I’ll have to remember that.
