Wish this forum had a like button Definitely !! Great line !

Look at these three.

Alex did try and chime in at the start of last season but Craig Hope from the Daily Mail absolutely rinsed him. I dont remember that, what'd he say? Craig Hope – The Mail: “The buck stops with Steve Bruce after clumsy introduction of Jetro Willems (who did not know where he was playing) disrupts NUFC rhythm before ragged final half hour.” Alex Bruce – Son of Steve Bruce: “A player making a short pass which was cut out lead to the the result, nothing to do with tactics or personnel….. and Willems knew exactly what his role was going on it’s just you trying to cause negativity. “V fair?? “It was his (dad Steve’s) 1st game and your already starting.” Craig Hope – The Mail: “Alex, this doesn’t make sense. “Your dad admitted two things afterwards “1) Willems did not know where he was playing when he came on “2) Willems was out of position for the goal, “Too high up pitch” you dad said. “I’m sorry, that has everything to do with tactics & personnel.” The full piece is below as Alex was defending the old man last month. https://www.themag.co.uk/2020/11/alex-bruce-is-at-it-again-calling-out-newcastle-united-fans-on-how-they-treat-his-dad-steve-bruce/

Well Rafa did.

Absolutely, with the exception of Man U who have the best squad in the league he could play for anyone. I'd pick him ahead of Cavani and Ighalo .

I was a bit lukewarm on him when we signed him but he's been tremendous and couldn't be happier to be proved wrong. Could do a great job for any side in this league.

Brilliant , I've just messaged a pal saying I wish I could hire Boba Fett to put a rocket through Bruce's fat heed. Mind you his face would soak up the impact , like a pastry airbag.

Been watching the football for over 40 years that's as bad a half from a Newcastle side as I can ever remember and that's through 300mg of Tramadol as me backs packed up .

That turd would still have more tactical awareness than Bruce.

Should be Wilson with Miggy behind just based on work rate alone. Midfield is being totally overran , Fraser's done ok but we simply don't have enough phases of play to get in .

There was a game under Sam Allardyce away to Fulham in December 07 where we won with a last minute penalty that Barton scored . My memory of the game is just a succession of throw ins, the ball being hoofed and tons of players under it as it came down. Worst I've ever seen .

He's just clueless. He''s clinging to anything. This will be the formation till the next defeat then he'll say we were too open or naive and then he'll go back to his beloved 5 at the back. Hendrick on the right was just an appalling decision and to keep him on seeing how he offered nothing defensively or going forwards was even worse (how many times did they get in on that side ?) .

Bloody hell were did you get those odds on rudiger and Clark ? Best I can see is 16's

Because he's magic !

If we were a more progressive side and an ambitious club he has the ability and workrate to be what Son Heung Min is for Spurs

I always thought a key point was that Kevin was so self assured in his early days here and that he didn't give a monkey's when others questioned his decisions. This seemed to change during 95-96 season somewhat. I remember there was negativity about Beresford (something about him having a dodgy knee or failing a medical) and Bracewell signing and Kev just plowed on through . Same with the signing of Cole there were people within football who were like "What ? He's spending how much on him ?" and Keegan was "like this lad's got it" . Even the signing of Beardsley, voices within the club weren't happy about that signing because of his age and Kevin was adamant. You can look at the sale of Andy Cole as a larger example that KK was completely sure of himself. Then there definitely seemed to be a change of Special K's mentality and he started listening to the media and the naysayers. To me this started with the signing of David Batty which seemed to be on the back of people saying that we couldn't win the title playing the way we were. Then over time and with the loss of the title this seemed to validate the criticism's of him with a lot of people and perhaps in Kevin's mind. Culminating in when he left England and saying he tactically wasn't up to it.

He wasn't tactically flawed.

Souness was the worst although I despise Bruce and Pardew. Souness was left one of the best young squads in Europe along with quality senior players. In less than two years and with a huge amount of financial support he had us sliding towards the relegation slots.

Great work. Well done !

Aye I'm struggling when it comes to much around then or before then as was a bairn .

Srincek 1992/1993 to Kevin Scott Scott 1987/1988 to Kenny Wharton which takes us to 1978 and off the top of my head struggling but i think it's Wharton 1978 to David Craig gets you to 1963 which is Craig's debut.

Fucking hell. It doesn't even make any sense. Why is he acting like someone else has picked the side and made the subs ?

I think last night was up there with as angry as I've ever felt with a manager at this club . Was absolutely fuming, ended up jibbing off trying to go to sleep and stayed up to watch the Lomachenko Lopez fight.
