Relegation the first time round. Pardew. Attending three FA Cup 3rd round matches in a row and seeing us crash out each time. Brighton 2-0 was a real highlight. Relegation again. An overall feeling of apathy that grew and grew from about 2015 to now, to the point where I barely even enjoy football anymore. Cheers Mike.

I despise the narrative that he "deserves" a chance, nobody deserves shit, you have to work for it. Has he worked and earned his spot here? Not at all. Get him gone ASAP, let's get the club moving after 13 years of regression.

Be amazing if he's binned off immediately, just be so cathartic to finally be free of everything. If it happens, of course.

He fucking loves taking the piss out of us, knowing full well 52k will be at the next home game no matter what.

Decent team, hoping for a Joelinton goal and confidence building game.

Because that wouldn't be following the manager's instructions, which is their job. But when those instructions are clearly bollocks? I just think that surely they should take some bit of ownership of what they're doing out there. Again, not defending Bruce, think he's s***. Just to be clear It's not up to them though if it's bollocks, that's all on Bruce, if they don't follow instructions they'll get subbed/not play next game. That's if Bruce actually sends them out with instructions like Very true re: subbed/not played, guess there's some self preservation in doing as you're told - again implying they're actually told anything

Without defending Bruce, because trust me, I don't rate him at all, I'm going to play Devil's advocate here a bit. As you've said, Gayle doesn't thrive on long balls to his head and never will. We can all see that, so surely our players can? Why don't our players take some initiative and sack off Bruce's instructions and play it to feet/through balls?

Literally paid money to get him in.

No chance Bruce has a plan for this.

This feels extremely Pardew-esque already. Not containing and executing a plan to counter, but holding out for a mistake from them and basically being content with a 0-0.

Looks full, basically

Got that wrong then

Think it's 5pm?

I know it's been said to death but I'm just going to lament, once again, that we've gone from a manager of pure class, one we can all be proud of, who worked tirelessly for the club and community, to Bruce. Steve fucking Bruce. It's genuinely heart breaking to see what's happened to this club in Ashley's time, yet now I'm so far beyond angry that I'm apathetic to it all, barely keeping up with results and news. But Rafa changed that, gave me a slight glimmer of hope and joy again, even though we still had that cretin in charge, Rafa was able to bring a sense of pride to the name Newcastle United. God knows how long it's going to take to reclaim that feeling, I fear a very, very long time.

Tremendous post. Perfectly surmised.

Well said.

It's been a while since I've posted, forgotten everything

Fuck me.

Honestly, good. Get everyone who's decent sold, tumble through the leagues, get shot of this cunt. Whatever it takes.

I think it becomes a bigger issue if he leaves because it's unlikely he'll be replaced and with Hayden probably going, we'll suddenly look quite light in there, especially with the usual injuries and so forth.

Can't wait for Season 2 on Netflix.

The fuck is he wearing

Yeah it's very remote, Westfield is close though so could get a drink from one of the bars there?

:lol:
