TBG

Bet he didn't own that scarf unlike local lad Steve Bruce who brought his own cause he loves the toon and always dreamed of managing the club.

Bruce is nothing but another willing mouthpiece for the club, happy to lower expectations, with the bonus being, "he's one of our own" which the missing link on our support lap up.

What's the media's reaction to that over there? Over here it would be "He's done a good job up there".

It was like last night where Danny Murphy mentioned us not scoring for 7 hours and said Bruce was doing a good job. As if it's somehow not his job to make the team score goals. It's mad. Crazy how regularly "experts" will come out and say something, and in the next sentence, without a hint or irony, completely contradict themselves without the presenter etc challenging them on what they've just said. Look at Dublin the other night. He came out and said Bruce didn't have money to spend and then in the next sentence said our club record £44M striker signed by Bruce, has had a nightmare season.

Get in! Love a radgie!!!! Prem needs more players that get stuck in and fuck players up!!!!!! HWTL

Support the team (but we need someone else to create the atmosphere for us) not the regime!!!

Comes out and says Bruce didn't have money to spend. Then ends it with the £44m striker Steve "I'm not a puppet" Bruce brought in has had a nightmare.

Give Bruce a few quid

Who'd have thought spending £40m on Rondon, new training facilities and securing a world class manager would have been the better choice over hiring "one of our own". What a bunch of fools we are.

He'll just blame Rafa again. Couldn't get his tactics over with the team. Same old shite about players being too used to playing defensively for years.

I don't understand how these press conferences work, was the same when Pardew was here. Bruce/Pardew: Tell a massive lie Journos: Fair enough, lets move on Rafa uses tactics to set up the team to get a result against Man City: Gary Neville and co, "It's a disgrace to the Premier League and those fans from other clubs that wanted to be entertained over Newcastle getting a result to keep them up" Bruce plays the worst football in the league: Gary Neville and co, "He's done a good job up there. This seasons goal was always to stay up"

Only three pages for Bruce's revolutionary new tactics? It must be that good you guys can't take your eyes off it to comment.

Hold on, they made £500M, spend decently in transfer windows, have a new training ground and plans to extend Anfield? Don't they know you can't have all of those. It's either a swimming pool or a player. Charnley said so.

That shot was quicker than broadband at the time.

It's safe to say that I speak for every fan when I say this one felt different to the other 15 takeover attempts. We all know how desperate Ashley is to get rid of this money making machine and advertising platform for his major brand, but once again his time was wasted and the media scuppered this definitely happening this time takeover. This is why I'm suggesting a protest over the club's ownership and media's handling of our takeovers. I'm calling it the #bringandburnyourchronicletatthematch match protest. Season tickets are available for £600 and Chronicle subscription will set you back £200. Let's show we will no longer sit by and support these people!!!

Thankfully the club put an end to such wonderful nights. Just wasn't worth it at the expanse of possibly doing a Leeds. Much safer to do the bare minimum and have just the two relegations in 10 years.

Ravishing Bruce.

Would be some backlash if they renamed the stadium to Red Bull@St Jame's Park. Can just picture the anger on the concourses from the regulars whilst having their half time £7 Vodka Red Bull®

"So lads, this one's been cooked rare. Can anyone tells me what it represents this season?" "How rare attacking performances have been this season?" "No Big Andy. Rare as in soft and tender like your hamstrings." "Now this one's been cooked medium. What does this represent?" "The area on the pitch where Joelinton is found most? "Why youuuuu" "Finally can anyone tell me how this one has been cooked? "Well done?" "Thanks lads it's much appreciated."

This one feels different

A Cornetto and renting a bluey on VHS for the week.

BACK IN

Deal comes with a super exclusive pin badge that you can only get the new 10 year plan. Those wearing it at the games can take some solace in knowing that the bloke sitting next to them with a free half season ticket didn't get a super exclusive pin badge.

Heard you're not allowed to call it football these days cause it offends people without feet. #closetheborder

0-1 The build up coming from the Chronicle being Bruce has one eye on the cup game next week.
