While not going to take random twitter accusations that serious, accusing agents of dodgy dealing is a bit like accusing the mafia of dodgy dealing. Almost like there's not much difference...

Awful

What a goal!

Fuck off gary neville

Fergie won't last that long he'll implode. Keegan is just getting started with us like :'(

Fuck off Schmeichel

GEEEETTIN

im gonna pause for 5 mins to get back in sync then lol

are you guys watching from start cos i skipped ahead to kickoff? (sorry to break immersion)

Howay the lads!

As infuriating as it is it is also very human to be honest to struggle to stick the knife in to someone he considers a friend. Bruces friendship with many north east journos is worth it's weight in gold for Ashley and frankly may keep him in the job

It probably is liberating in short term but in long term his job depends on being able to speak to people in the club and it will make it a lot more difficult. Obviously plenty he can still do and sure plenty will talk to him off the books still but sadly intimidating journos into good coverage by doing this sort of thing probably does kinda work. If the other journos had any backbone they'd all just boycott club, however not sure really how much a club so uncaring as Newcastle really care or need reporters anyway

Basically slagging off a young lad for being greedy, as if there aren't any other reasons a young player may want to play elsewhere at the moment

Like that's an achievement

Only taken half a season to work out where a player's best position is. And still doesn't play him there no doubt.

Before this season i thought he was just an idiot, probably a nice guy just not up to the task and would take him over Pardew's uberconfidence slipperyness but all the Rafa slagging off just shows off such an unpleasant side to him I've lost any sympathy I might have had for being Ashley's sucker of the moment

It's the snide "they'd had a degree of success if that's what you want to call it". We scored plenty of goals. He's a classless idiot.

Honestly think casual 5 a sides in parks have more thought of tactics put into them than Bruce does.

To be fair if I were Steve Bruce I'd be drinking a lot too

I'm astounded we managed a shot

I assume everyone watching this has been put into a coma by now

It's time to drop the fakeover updates bit from the thread title isn't it

As if Bruce would ever have played Perez anyway, would have sold him for peanuts if he'd been in charge last few seasons

Team BANTER. Set pieces maybe? Hmmmm

Can anyone name ONE thing, anything, just one thing that Bruce's coaching has improved? Any area? Anything?
