Was it at 3pm?

True, but he's only getting those questions so much because Staveley told him she was gonna pass the test imminently, nearly 3 weeks ago now. So he should be annoyed at her surely There is no definitive proof that Staveley is his source or that he does even have a source It's just about obvious that she is, she's done an interview for him previously. My biggest concern with Caulkin is that his source previously led him down the garden path with the BZG deal which george nicely described afterwards as 'bollocks from the start'. If a source has previously given information which turns out to be false or incorrect I would not be so quick to use any future information from them Eh? Didnt Caulkin pretty much dampen that one from day one. He was fairly consistent. Also, it's not the same source FFS. Its clear AS is confident. Whether she should be is a different story entirely. Which is why I agree that Staveley may not be his source. It is not an assault on Georges character. Im just making the point that no resepcted journalist would rely on a poor source One way or another, once it's done the decision will leak. Too many people with big mouths wanting relevance to the biggest football story outside of Restart for it to stay quiet. Even Chimp Mitts will want to know answer so he can complain or declare himself the saviour of the Premier League in the Middle East. No way he would keep quiet

Threatened of course. Have you ever seen one of these protectors of justice put Bruce's name forward for the Arsenal, Manure, Spurs jobs over the past few year? Even suggest him for the likes of Southampton, Everton, West Ham, Watford or bloody Norwich? Beyond that it is a jobs for the boys, buddy protection ring. Same with the players speaking out. They have it good and keep each other employed. The supposed player noise for us is all about survival. All the guff will be gone if this goes through. Their only hope is Bruce staying so they can coast some more for a little longer. I do actually remember Paul Ince saying Bruce would be perfect for Man Utd a while back. Says it all really https://talksport.com/football/462472/manchester-united-next-manager-latest-paul-ince-urges-club-to-replace-jose-mourinho-with-steve-bruce-instead-of-ole-gunnar-solskjaer/

Playing the worst football in years, and having attacking statistics that make Derby's 11points team look positively brilliant should be enough to convince anyone it's been a bad job. Football isn't based on statistics mind, it's based on results. The results were okay overall. For looking forward indeed they are not. For looking back they are indicative of a teams actual performance and normally suggest of what the results should have been. Going by ours Bruce is either a total genius, or just lucky.

Everything is taking longer at the minute due to lock down. Started a new job yesterday and literally told not too come back in till after lockdown. Just means some things will take longer than normal. If anything significant happens, someone who actually knows will say something.

BBC or Sky for actual confirmation

Did not read.

Literally no reason for any private plane relating to Newcastle landing there. Why spend 4 hours on a plane you can send anywhere just to spend another 30/40 mins in a car

Or just make them watch every 90 minutes from this season. Clockwork Orange style, and preferably in slow motion to prolong the misery

Pardew would have them in a relegation battle for half a season before a little run securing mid-table, then claiming it a great achievement due to ageing players, press interference, spies, science....should I really continue

Dyer was very good, however a combination of injuries and media stories (true or not) contributed to him being rather disliked. Consider Asprilla....I can only remember a few good contributions from him and both are quite obvious. He was here only 2 years and didn't score that many, but is still almost universally liked.

Was anyone here genuinely concerned about Saudis human records before they looked like being the new owners? I wasn't...their behaviour would probably have came about 2 or 3 hundredth on my concern list only just beating whether or not it was going to be sunny tomorrow or not. Maybe that makes me a twat, but I'm not going to get on a moral high ground on something that's never mattered before

A great example of how you don't need to to be the best to be appreciated here. Some effort when playing and no complaints when not. Good lad. See also Sibierski

Reads like "thanks to media attention we are acknowledging you, but you're objections aren't something in our tests"

If he'd had any nerve, authority or acumen as the only director he could have employed someone to help him.

Let him whinge....he's served up the worst football I've seen us play. I've never known any team to so willingly give up possession regardless of the opposition. Either it's deliberate or not....if it is it's disgraceful, and if it's not then it shows how woeful the set up is.

Barring him winning the each and every one of rest of the seasons games comfortably and actually having more than 40% possession in most of them everyone including himself knows he won't be around much longer.

What a strike

If??? When more like. Even Shepherd could see when things weren't working with dire managers and tried to fix it. Yes he go them wrong more often than right but at least tried. In fact we must be the only club in the league that won't sack a manager for massively bad performance, breaking all sorts of bad records, being nauseating to watch, and generally stinking up the place with all sorts of excuses from pfms and the like. Even Watford are a better bet at the minute. Yes their owners are completely mental, but the second they think something isn't working the change it.

Tomasson/Mitrovic mk2. Untried in Premier league Out of position Massive expectation Leaves at end of season , probably back to Germany, and becomes massively successful again
