Seems like battle lines are being drawn now. Club are putting the ball back in his court and are essentially saying "get on with it dickhead or resign". Will he back down and carry on brown nosing (look where it's got you Steve) ?

It's all clickbait with Edwards. His journalism/content isn't good enough to generate the traffic required like other journalists so he's resorted to being the Katie Hopkins of North East correspondents. Starve him of oxygen and let him suffocate in the vacuum.

Love Terry, his contribution to saving our football club and building it to be one of the most exciting clubs in Europe at one point was immense and never truly recognised by the wider footballing world . Been encouraging a few people I know to buy his book as a way of supporting him. (There's various retailers have it in Hardback and Paperback so if people don't want to use Amazon I understand.) Currently on Amazon it's only £1.99 on Kindle so a really reasonable way of supporting him should you wish to do so. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Terry-Mac-Living-Moment-Autobiography-ebook/dp/B06XHNMJQH/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=terry+mac&qid=1630228975&sr=8-1

Aye, I know he's been poor for a while but he's playing like he's an ill kid who's been let out to play for one last time before he breathes his last .

What's going on with Longstaff ? He's so weak physically.

To be fair he did change it last week , did wonders for West ham .

He'll be in midfield next time man .

One of the flaws of VAR, if the offside is flagged the keeper doesn't make that challenge and the striker isn't at risk of serious injury.

Keeper should be off

It's a mess in all areas . Almiron and Willock don't look sure where they should be playing. Murphy's been appalling defensively.

We stumbled across this formation last season but it can't work without decent full backs and the midfield essentially waving people through .

It's the usual bollocks . West Ham chased the game and they didn't get caught after going 2-1 down . Hate this bloke .

Bruce just hoying players on, like a drunk gaffer trying to get people up with them at a karaoke. "Go on, do something. We can do Summer Nights"

Kick him in the bollocks from me . Mind you , if he likes Bruce's football he'll probably enjoy that and all .

This defence nearly got us relegated last season. Wilson, Willock, Maxi, Almiron and the keepers were why we stayed up .

What Souness did here was unforgiveable , inherited one of the best young sides in Europe. Shearer and Kluivert in the squad as well. All he had to do was sort out the defence. That Boumsong transfer was one of the most suspect in the history of football.

When Wilson , Maxi and Miggy are fit we've a chance in most games. There does seem to be some of the problems of last season in that teams frequently have runners that the centre midfield loses (usually Shelvey not tracking). The right hand side of defence and right back area is once again wide open at times, lost count of the problems that caused us last year.

He hopes to have a great championship. That's his level to be fair.

The broadcasters don't care and neither do a significant amount of supporters. Liverpool fans en masse for example don't stand for this sort of nonsense. Also very few ex Newcastle players working as pundits that don't toe the party line. When there's an issue with Manchester United Gary Neville or Roy Keane are given as long as they want. When there's a news story here BT ask Rio Ferdinand's opinion .

This link is a perfect example of Owen. He talks like a robot and is devoid of any charisma or even basic warmth. It's like Bill Gates built a footballer (which may also explain the injuries).

The rivalry between Liverpool and Everton is as strong as it ever was even with Everton's lack of recent success . I'd also say the derby has changed somewhat. At one stage it was "the friendly derby" with supporters of both clubs often stood side on the terraces. It's certainly got more bitter. There's more venom and some fans of both clubs actively dread it. My stepfather is a blue season ticket holder and in normal times he swerves that game or even going to the pubs when it's on. Too many young gobshites who go absolutely tonto. As for Rafa I can't envision him going there. He's a very savvy bloke, who's very aware of how he's perceived and there's too much risk of his standing with Liverpool supporters being tarnished.

Players need to play. He looked ok on loan from here to Shrewsbury Town and Wigan but nothing outstanding. The move to Peterborough came at the right time for his development.

This has ended up a bit of a rant but so be it . Usual Bruce drivel. He always says "you have to accept it" when talking about criticism but he never does. Not one fellow supporter has expressed to me during Bruce's tenure that they hope for a world record transfer let alone expect one. Pardew was an outright liar but we've never had such a whiny manager. Constantly bleating about injuries, pressure, expectations, comments from George from Dunston on twitter which he doesn't apparently read. It's never-ending. For a bloke involved in top level sport as a player and a manager for over thirty year he is completely incapable of dealing with the vast majority of the demands of it. Mourinho is called a complainer and dark and moody but he's got nothing on this fella. When he gets a result or two he's always on the attack. There's a lot of complexities to managing a football club. I get it. Dealing with the supporters especially up here isn't one of them. The managers that have got it (Keegan, Robson, Hughton, Benitez) never really take issue with the fans. They embrace them, even the sometimes negative aspects. They all say how important we are, how we know are football (incidentally Liverpool fans for example are always credited with being intelligent by the media and football in general whereas we're talked down to and about) and how we have the right to say how we feel. Bruce treats us like an inconvenience, like he's being asked to deal with a wasp's nest in the loft and take the bins out on the same day. Why doesn't any journalist ever say you don't seem like you enjoy the job Steve ? He applied to be manager, if he doesn't like it he could resign. Part of "getting" what this club is about is understanding it's a privilege to manage Newcastle United and should be treated as such.

That 4-3-3 was incredible. Dalglish tricked me with that, I'll never forgive him for it. I thought it was going to be the way forward for the team, 8 months later Sir Les was gone as was Tino and players who could also have worked in that 4-3-3 in Ginola and Beardsley were too .

I'm taking this to mean he likes Shack's magnificent Lp Waterpistol and that is a sign of inherent decency, goodness and hope .
