Steve Bruce is nowhere near important enough to write stuff like this about, it's ludicrous from Edwards. Only way to unite the fan base.........FIGHT!......... or get a new manager Careful, the Judge and Samp will be on here ridiculing your brave ideas. Not really given I want rid of Bruce. Judge/Samp, there is a good piece in The Mag by Jim Robertson regarding the media bias and unfair reporting on Bruce/Newcastle United. The responses are great (as in fans have had enough). Then there is a brilliant story by George Caulkin in The Athletic slagging off Steve McManaman for his outrageous platitudes towards Bruce. You really need to read them and realise that we fans do have a voice and it now doesn't seem so silly of me saying we really need to take the gutter media to task. Just saying.

If you look at the table and the table alone, then technically Bruce has not done a bad job. If you look at the actual football that is played then it's been a worse job than even Carver pulled off....at least a few of his attempts at managing games got above 35% possession. The only time a respectable football team should win a match like that is if it's a 2nd/3rd division team against one of the top six and it's been a massively hard fought shock. No topflight premiership team should be sitting in their own 18 yard box for 3/4 of every game regardless of opposition and expect to get any results other than through luck. Bruce has had us playing like a league 1 side, scared to death of every other team they've come up against (except for maybe Bournemouth). No modern manager should have only one plan that consists of putting 10 men behind the ball every game and hoping to score a goal on a counter attack. Fine against top half teams, but when it's against relegation candidates its pure cowardice and being more concerned with not losing than winning. This should not be considered acceptable by anyone who wants the best for their team. Loved Carver's free flowing football. Tasty on the eye and we got results. :lol: Recent games possession: Southampton away 62% Sheffield United home 46% Villa home 52% Bournemouth 45% West Ham home 57% Every game above 35%. Yes we don't usually have much of the ball, but you can't argue Carver was better, because he sometimes got above 35% possession. Use facts, use evidence in your arguments man. Not this knacker using "facts" again. We can't play against 10 men all the time you know. Two recent games. Palace away game 56% possession. Burnley home game 54% possession. Facts back up your argument. You should try it sometime. I find facts can distort the truth sometimes. I'm a good believer in using common sense and my own judgement on subjects I'm well versed in. You should try sometime it instead of acting like a robot. You believe we played better football under Carver? 15% win ratio, 8 losses in a row, and 3 total wins in 20 games, but we played better football than we do now? Do you agree with gjohnson? No Good - we've found some common ground. Don't think so.

Read the post properly. Not saying Carver was any good as he clearly wasn't, but the football was still better than anything served up by your mate Steve. I've learned the hard way. I used to ignore him but just lately I have had a go back at him. He just loves an argument. Just wait, you'll see.

I don’t rate him at all. Awful at centre back and doesn’t offer enough in possession as a midfielder. Definitely this. How he has so many caps is beyond me.

I just wish I could be so eloquent. How come at least two posters on here can't or wont see it for what it is.

Doesn't matter, the bloke doesn't do tactics. 2-1 defeat.

Sorry forgot, yes it's Thursday. Tomorrow Bruce for Manager of the year?

Samptime?

Apart from the bottom 3 that matters. Brewcie has kept us ticking over until the new owners & manager comes in. Simple as dat. Oh my god, do you not get sick of your own shite patter? "We need to strike back against the media" Hahahaha amazing. "All I said was he's doing an ok job". Priceless, ya pair of knackers! Any plans yet on how to strike back against the media? You've had a night to sleep on it. It's being done as we speak. We spread the word on boards such as these, phone ins etc. I also subscribe to The Athletic and those proper journalists don't fall for the shite spouted by "experts" and "pundits" that crawl up Bruce's ring piece. Unlike you two spineless two faced gob shites.

All three of have said we need to a new manager to progress the club forward. We all want the takeover, and we want a successful Newcastle United. Because we don't call Bruce a "fat cunt" and don't hate him, a load of dribbling goons on the board gan mental. Tonight was terrible, we were shit, and far too slack. It was a shame after going 6 unbeaten. But Bruce has done an ok job yeah? That's all I'm god damn asking, Bruce has done an ok job!

Oh do fuck off!

I couldn't give a shit what the pundits and sad Bruce supporters say, but this result/performance very very rarely happened under Rafa if at all (I can't be bothered to look). The charlatan Bruce needs hounding out. Do your best, let everyone know how bad he is. The media are taking the piss out of us, we need to strike back.

But Bruce is doing a great job/manager of the year etc. I honestly now think the media are playing a massive game/wind up regarding Bruce and the fans. We MUST fight back! Get as many reviews/critiques in as you can. Send them everywhere. Get rid of this donkey!

Somewhat this!

At least a 5-0 defeat.

I love this!

Ian what the fuck are you on about? We have been safe from relegation all season. We really haven’t like You're in the top 3 stupidest posters here. Enlighten me - when were we in serious relegation trouble? On October 5 the FiveThirtyEight site was quoting a 41% chance of relegation and projected us to finish in 18th place. At that stage we were 19th and had just lost 5-0 to Leicester. I was seriously worried and wasn't the only one. Who the fuck judges their team after SEVEN FUCKING GAMES? "We're fucking defo down after 7 games like" :lol: What happened after the Leicester game? We took 10 points from 5 games. This board is crackers. Absolutely crackers. I know who's crackers!

Lovenkrands was twice the player by the way.

But cost £40 million?
