You agree with him? Better football under Carver? I can’t remember tbh. I’d say it’s comparable though, but luckily ASM and Almiron have flashes of brilliance. Can't remember lol. Okay then. Oh, I remember us being shite, but I can’t remember what system he had us playing. I’ll go back and watch some of it on YouTube though. No real need to laugh though, it was 5 years ago and I’ve had a child since then We lost 8 in a row. What do you need to remember? You’re extremely results driven aren’t you. I thought the question was about the quality of the football? He loves his stats and percentages also. An absolute robot!

If Pochettino is given Joselu as striker, aye. Brilliant!

Of course he’s done fine, look at the table. Anyway, where did you think we’d finish under him? He’s a plastic Geordie, with an awful accent, he’s been shown to be clueless at times (the first 30 mins at home to Brighton were an embarrassment - we made them look like prime Barca, after that game I was convinced we were going down), he’s no oil painting but he can’t be criticised for our position in the league. I thought we’d be where our performances & stats put us, 18th-19th probably. In no way is Bruce getting credit for us someone being where we are. Thanks, so we both agree he’s over achieved. I’ll give him reluctant credit for that. Man City are currently dismantling yet another side, Bruce got absolute pelters for our recent performances against Man City, seriously, they play a different game to most other teams. Come on the Saudis, the rest of us may as well not bother at the moment. But we played Watford today not Man City.

I haven't seen him even have a half decent game to be honest. He looks shot to bits. Shocking for a supposedly professional footballer.

We're Ashley's Newcastle, what else is supposed to drive us? There'll never really be a final revenge, I'll probably always want them to be shit. Having them laugh at us, celebrating, at Villa Park, can't imagine it'll ever not be satisfying seeing their club going down. What is football about if not bitterness and grudges? Exactly this. I have wished ill will of them ever since that awful day.

Someone posted earlier that we play with no game plan and this is bang on. We actually just seem to react to whatever the opposition do. We do not press, don't hit on the break and the overall movement of the team is non existent. When we have possession it's like give it to Saint and hope for the best. I actually think we have some good players but we play with no direction or plan. That's all down to coaching and management. I really wish we could sack Bruce with immediate effect, that's what I feel about him right now. A total fraud who appears to have LOTS of friends in the media brainwashing people.

I probably should have worded it better I agree. It's the old "Rod the Red" coming out (yes I'm old and a bit of a leftie). However, my points still stand. We fans can and will retaliate to lying scum press (there I go again, sorry). Are we friends now then Judge? I'm friends with everyone me.

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. I don't know a single NUFC fan that wants to keep Bruce as manager. You seem to think that just because I reckon Bruce has done alright this season that I'm a massive Brewcie fanboy and he's exempt from my criticism. I don't like Bruce. I don't rate Bruce as a manager. I didn't want Bruce when he was appointed. I still don't want Bruce now. I agree with the view that if he's here next season, some of the rub of the green he's had this season will eventually run out and shit will eventually hit the fan. I don't think we've been amazing this season at times like McManaman has said we have been. I don't think Bruce is in contention for the manager of the year. Again, I think he's done alright this season. That doesn't mean I like him. If you disagree with my opinion that we/Bruce have done alright this season, nay bother. But I'm not and never have been a fan of Bruce. I don't care about possession stats, amount of corners we have, shots on target we have or the amount of saves our keeper has had to make in a game as long as we get a result. But that's me. If you or whoever else want to analyse xG stats and whatever else go ahead. I'm not arsed one bit about those things - they mean fuck all to me. The reason I'm not getting worked up over him is because we're soon going to have new owners and with that, a new manager. We've got a few weeks to months left of Ashley and Bruce. Just like the last two seasons, we're in no danger of going down and we're not in contention for Europe. The season will ebb away into nothing. Bruce will go, Ashley will go. If (and I doubt it will happen) that the sale falls through and Ashley and Bruce remain, then aye.. It'll be a shitstorm the following season(s) for as long as they remain. And something to definitely get worked up over. My response was mainly about you ridiculing my stance regarding hitting back at the media. You thought it was hilarious. We the fans have a HUGE voice and some of our fans have "clout" (George Caulkin). It's already happening and other fans are taking notice. That was my point. What point did you think I was making?

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.

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. 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!
