Probably tbh. Watched it today, fucking dreadful. Villa were awful yet still were able to beat us 2-0. Worrying signs. I may be clutching at straws looking at the past but the past with fans in is the only benchmark I can draw, last season barely counts to me as imo he would've gone if fans had been in during that 22 or whatever run of 2 wins.

IMO this season is going to go a similar way of 2019-20. We lost our first two games that season to garbage/average opposition too, we've just traded a decent defence and non existent attack for a non existent defence and decent attack. We won the third game on 2019-20 at Tottenham, Bruce needs to beat Southampton next week both for himself and for the club, especially as Southampton will probs lose tomorrow at home to Man United. Win next week and I'll be confident we won't go down. Fail to win and I'll start to get worried.

If he's pleased with what he saw today we're getting relegated. Sack him and bring Eddie Howe in.

Thought so

I don't think it's fully dead but it's just got to the point where its all just so boring that a lot of people just don't really care anymore. How I feel anyway. Keith, Wraith, this thread, the PL, everything has just made it unbearable to follow.

Don't mind playing a back 3/5 tbh as long as we play players in their own positions. Put actual CBs at CB and play Lewis instead of Ritchie. Hayden-Willock midfield with either Almirón behind Maxi and Wilson or as part of a front 3 with Maxi and Wilson. We have the players for 4-2-3-1 too but it'd probably be best playing that in a game like next week v Southampton.

Yeah. But we'd rather have seen Lejeune play CB than Krafth, even after 2 bad injuries. He came back fine after his first one, no reason why he couldn't again. But we'll never know.

He said that Lejeune was 'more suited to the pace of the league in Spain'. Utter bollocks.

Asked if Joelinton will ever be decent pretty much and asked why Sean Longstaff has regressed so much since his games under Benitez.

Decent questions from this bloke tbf.

"Graeme Jones does the offensive side of the team and me and Steve Agnew do the defensive side." That's why we are fucking useless at the back and useful going forward then.

This cunt is on BBC Newcastle now if anyone wants their ears to bleed.

Aye.

There's Bruce targets and Nickson targets imo. Bruce has brought in Wilson, Lewis, Hendrick, Fraser, Willock. I also think the links to Rob Holding and many British Isles based players are Bruce's targets because he hasn't got a clue about anything on the continent. Nickson is the new Carr iyam. Joelinton, ASM, Krafth, the January 2020 loanees, the links to Kamara and Cajuste. Could be completely wrong like.

I personally and tbh pretty awfully don't care about sportswashing. I should, with my own political views, but I'm just sick of the same Ashley owned monotonous dilge. I just want change. I'd take any new owners at this stage, obviously that may be risky but this is just boring, constantly shit and there's no hope of ever being better even though its clear that this club can be better. The ownership just don't want to be. The PIF takeover would see rejuvenation in the club and city a la Manchester City and is a dream takeover for me. The pisstaking from the Premier League, Big 6, Keith et al has just made me sick of it to the point where I barely follow it anymore, just follow the 90 minutes. I want change and at this stage I don't care what it is.

He was asked indirectly about it, some woman rang in and talked about the current racist issues in football and asked what he thought of the 'boo boys', which is when he talked about abuse on social media. No idea why people boo it. It just makes you look a racist, ignorant cunt. Ah well. It'll happen at almost all 20 clubs but hopefully applause and support continues to drown out people who boo.

I mean, players are never gonna slag the manager off on regional radio which will be reiterated to the national media. A lot of players probably like Bruce. Because he gives them loads of time off and lets them do whatever they want on the training ground.

I get what you're saying but someone could easily use that argument as to why Shelvey looks largely piss poor in this team rather than he's just shit. I've not seen any glimpses from him to suggest he's a good footballer at this level since the start of 2019-20 and that was some time ago. Maybe Man United (h) when his brother scored the winner? But even then it was his brother who was getting the deserved praise and Matty's the poor bastard who never gets played! I've watched the highlights of Leeds away last season to jog my memory and he's responsible for three of their goals. Three. I suppose I need more convincing and I'm not sure that it's gonna be here. A £10m+ move would probably be best for all parties, especially if it means Matty finally gets his chance in the team again. I doubt it though.

He's been terrible for a while now, mind. That performance away at Leeds last season was AIDS inducing, two of his set plays were so bad they led to breaks which Leeds scored twice from. A better manager like Benitez would get more from him, or any player of ours for that matter tbh. But I've seen nowt since March 2019(!) since he picked up his injury to suggest those 8 games were anything but a purple patch. Yes, the common difference between those 8 games and the 2 seasons since was the manager, but surely we would've seen a positive glimpse since then? We may have done but nothing whatsoever springs to mind. After his form over the last 2 seasons I'd cash in tbh for £10m+ if it means we get a suitable replacement. ( )

Middlesbrough QPR looks like a good game. Another good goal for Young Boys, Ferencvaros are so poor.

Been a couple of class goals in the Young Boys v Ferencvaros game.

David McGoldrick is absolutely shit. Missed an absolute sitter.

I know, I surrendered and listened to most of it. Also depends whether the presenters/hosts bottle it. He should be getting pelters or good questions about why he's so shit rather than wondering what sauce he puts on his steak pies.

Wheyyy, Joe hates the mackems.
