Another one Landing a few fish today

Lol another pen

Oh good and Krafth

Bentaleb on next

Bruce seems to be slowly morphing into a Pug, the amount of licking of his chops and nose he’s doing these days..

:lol:

Fucking hell hahaha

Best football we've played in the last 3 seasons. Fuck’s sake

I’ve never had a problem with Mitch tbh. He may not know much about this current bid but he def had links to BZG and a previous Canadian bid.

RIP

What was wrong with the fans forum? Genuine question. I don’t know much about Hastie.

Not a fan Disco? I’ve encountered more reputable characters I’m not going to lie. I wouldn’t trust Wraith and Dentist if they repeated back to me where I lived. Although I almost admire their shamelessness. What do you think about the other two?

Yep. That was really really good. Think everyone should listen to that for some insights into this takeover and previous ones that didn’t quite make. Interesting that BZG pulled out because they felt it was an insult to have to pay a non-refundable deposit to Ashley, along with a number of other insults they felt Ashley dealt them. Also, rumours that the new owners have already bought the freehold for SJP. (Some leaks from the city council) And that PIF/PCP etc had been told around June 1st by the PL that they were going to pass the takeover but on the proviso that they make efforts to sort the piracy. PIF apparently felt that this meant the deal was done. Well worth a listen, whatever you think of Wraith and Mitch. Aren't all these people known bullshitters and coat tail riders? Especially Wraith. Wraith didn’t actually have any info. It was Mitch and Steve Hastie talking about it all. I’d have a listen yourself and make your own mind up as to whether you think they’re bullshitting. I certainly didn’t get that impression. Mitch describes himself as a gobshite and he certainly does like a chat but I didn’t get the impression they were making it up at all.

Steve Bruce is nowhere near important enough to write stuff like this about, it's ludicrous from Edwards. Only way to unite the fan base.........FIGHT!......... or get a new manager Careful, the Judge and Samp will be on here ridiculing your brave ideas. Not really given I want rid of Bruce. Judge/Samp, there is a good piece in The Mag by Jim Robertson regarding the media bias and unfair reporting on Bruce/Newcastle United. The responses are great (as in fans have had enough). Then there is a brilliant story by George Caulkin in The Athletic slagging off Steve McManaman for his outrageous platitudes towards Bruce. You really need to read them and realise that we fans do have a voice and it now doesn't seem so silly of me saying we really need to take the gutter media to task. Just saying. I don't know a single NUFC fan that wants to keep Bruce as manager. You seem to think that just because I reckon Bruce has done alright this season that I'm a massive Brewcie fanboy and he's exempt from my criticism. I don't like Bruce. I don't rate Bruce as a manager. I didn't want Bruce when he was appointed. I still don't want Bruce now. I agree with the view that if he's here next season, some of the rub of the green he's had this season will eventually run out and shit will eventually hit the fan. I don't think we've been amazing this season at times like McManaman has said we have been. I don't think Bruce is in contention for the manager of the year. Again, I think he's done alright this season. That doesn't mean I like him. If you disagree with my opinion that we/Bruce have done alright this season, nay bother. But I'm not and never have been a fan of Bruce. I don't care about possession stats, amount of corners we have, shots on target we have or the amount of saves our keeper has had to make in a game as long as we get a result. But that's me. If you or whoever else want to analyse xG stats and whatever else go ahead. I'm not arsed one bit about those things - they mean fuck all to me. The reason I'm not getting worked up over him is because we're soon going to have new owners and with that, a new manager. We've got a few weeks to months left of Ashley and Bruce. Just like the last two seasons, we're in no danger of going down and we're not in contention for Europe. The season will ebb away into nothing. Bruce will go, Ashley will go. If (and I doubt it will happen) that the sale falls through and Ashley and Bruce remain, then aye.. It'll be a shitstorm the following season(s) for as long as they remain. And something to definitely get worked up over. That’s your best and most constructive post ever

If you look at the table and the table alone, then technically Bruce has not done a bad job. If you look at the actual football that is played then it's been a worse job than even Carver pulled off....at least a few of his attempts at managing games got above 35% possession. The only time a respectable football team should win a match like that is if it's a 2nd/3rd division team against one of the top six and it's been a massively hard fought shock. No topflight premiership team should be sitting in their own 18 yard box for 3/4 of every game regardless of opposition and expect to get any results other than through luck. Bruce has had us playing like a league 1 side, scared to death of every other team they've come up against (except for maybe Bournemouth). No modern manager should have only one plan that consists of putting 10 men behind the ball every game and hoping to score a goal on a counter attack. Fine against top half teams, but when it's against relegation candidates its pure cowardice and being more concerned with not losing than winning. This should not be considered acceptable by anyone who wants the best for their team. Loved Carver's free flowing football. Tasty on the eye and we got results. :lol: Recent games possession: Southampton away 62% Sheffield United home 46% Villa home 52% Bournemouth 45% West Ham home 57% Every game above 35%. Yes we don't usually have much of the ball, but you can't argue Carver was better, because he sometimes got above 35% possession. Use facts, use evidence in your arguments man. Not this knacker using "facts" again. We can't play against 10 men all the time you know. Two recent games. Palace away game 56% possession. Burnley home game 54% possession. Facts back up your argument. You should try it sometime. I find facts can distort the truth sometimes. I'm a good believer in using common sense and my own judgement on subjects I'm well versed in. You should try sometime it instead of acting like a robot. You believe we played better football under Carver? 15% win ratio, 8 losses in a row, and 3 total wins in 20 games, but we played better football than we do now? Do you agree with gjohnson? No Good - we've found some common ground. Don't think so.

Is this just a guess or have I missed some announcement about this??

It’s about his podcast

He’ll say he’s done an ‘ok job’ but that’s about it. But then relentlessly continue to defend him. I find that disconnect a bit strange and would love to know the real story behind his impassioned, relentless and baffling defence of Bruce in the teeth of overwhelming opposing opinion and facts. Edit: I think he might have said Bruce had improved set-pieces

We often call ourselves Perfidious Albion, as if the U.K. is the only country that engages in Realpolitik They’re all at it pretty much. Also isn’t Prof Simon Chadwick that Man U fan who’s bitter about us getting taken over when he wants it to be them?

We shouldn’t mock the afflicted

Keysey hammering away on his keyboard

Yep. There’s even a ‘File your Lawsuit’ button

Judge Holden just likes a wind-up, he’s def not one of the Brucey fan boys (all two of them)
