Brett Emerton?

Dybala deal off because he wants too much money. If Solskjær loves United as he says, why doesn't he spend some of his own money. He's got enough.

Matty and Sean to lift the 2022 World Cup. Our generations Charlton brothers mark my words.

Forget tactics lad, we'll simply out run the likes of Man City. We were already one of the hardest working sides in the league, jesus this is depressing. Now imagine how much better we will be if we run a bit faster.

Looking forward to hearing how Almiron needs to put a shift in

Forget tactics lad, we'll simply out run the likes of Man City.

Lovely day out without the missus though.

But nobody is even debating that, but to have your manager come out before the season starts to remind us of it (adding the, great day out comment) just takes the piss. Part of the reason we can't compete in this league is the fact that we have the worst manager in the league now. Nar, it's not. He's come out and said exactly the same as us for the last ten years which is a pretty realistic assessment of our situation. If he'd said we were going to compete with the big boys this season he'd have got slated for that too. What he's said isn't particularly unreasonable considering our ownership situation, it seems no matter what he says he'll get stick. Fair enough, you might say but attacking him for a perfectly reasonable view on our prospects diminishes the effect of the actual bad stuff like attacking the fans protest. Crucify the man for attacking the fans, for the shite way he's treated a decent club who gave him a chance. Crucify him when the season starts and we're adrift before Christmas, for taking Ashley's money to help run his boyhood club into the ground. For saying our best chance of a trophy is a cup? Just pettiness. The difference between Bruce and Rafa is that Rafa would always say what a big city this was, what potential the club had, how he wanted to build something and that he did believe that, given the right resources and backing, the club absolutely COULD compete in the league. Then Bruce comes in and immediately declares a complete lack of ambition, no intent to build anything, and that the best we can hope for is a cup run in competitions the ownership of the club have publicly disdained for over a decade. It's shit. You've got one person looking at last year's 13th place finish and saying we can push on into the top 10, and you've got another looking at it and saying "look, we finished 13th, therefore we're 13th best and should just avoid relegation. Aye, and which one is right? With Ashley in charge we'll never challenge the top clubs, directing your ire at Bruce for some fairly innocuous soundbites is missing the target. No one expects us to challenge the top clubs, but we should be looking to challenge the ones just below that rather than looking to survive. Everton, Leicester, West Ham, etc. So Everton, Leicester and west ham are the big boys at the top end? Are they happy with 17th?

Like Bruce said, transfer take forever these days, so not sure we've got time to bring anyone else in. Need to prioritize on the outgoings which strangely manage get completed within a few days.

It doesn't need said though. No (sane) Newcastle fan thinks we should be competing with the likes of Man City, and as a Newcastle fan himself he should know that. All he's done is made us out to be deluded Geordies again that need to be reminded that we were in the Championship two seasons ago.

The day a well known lad was fighting on the pitch, got banned and then later got convicted of being a kiddy fiddler. Used to post on here. Dave? I know who you mean. Didn't know he used to post on here like. Under what name? LitteKidLover

Don't they realise they were in the Championship 4 year ago.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9618720/newcastle-4-5m-transfer-bid-amiens-emil-farth-rejected/ Can well imagine terms have been agreed with the player like as he’ll be on relative peanuts. The money men won't be held to ransom.

Ritchie - Shelvey - McCarthy - Colback To provide the fight and put in a shift when we're bottom at Christmas.

Numpty reckons Joelinton is good enough to beat Shearer's goal scoring record.

Like asking which one of HTT's pizzas do you want.

They'll be the first to start frothing at the mouth when we're getting beat of the likes of Norwich, yet they're seemingly happy with Bruce reminding us that we were a Championship club ourselves not long back. Also Poor Almiron, even Pardew wasn't that efficient when picking out an scapegoat.

The placement of the badge is annoying me.

Get the Duvel cracked open

Only incoming ones for some strange reason. Outgoing on the other hand, a couple of days

Left back, in the changing rooms pmsl

Guessing it was only the club's preferred media partners that were invited today. Cause he should have been ripped to pieces over that. How you gonna sit there and listen to him say that, and not bring up the fact we've let go of a world class manager for having too much ambition.

Must fancy a lend of the paddling pools.

The fan sites are only good for stuff like this:

We tried.
