To me it’s only worth comparing when people make ignorant comments about Rafa being no better. He got plenty of things wrong in my own opinion, but compare not just his management but his vision and fan engagement with Bruce... A few months ago I stuck up for Bruce a bit also ?. Apologies for this. Rafa got the most important things right. What that man could of done to improve the team with some small investment would have been brilliant. Good of you to apologise but ignorance is no excuse.

Spot on as usual There are a serious amount of people (can't be fans) that thought we were safe from relegation from over a month ago! I mean, what are they thinking? "We've got 18 points man, we are well safe". Fu#king idiots, got to be. Are you not watching the games? Do you not know f@ck all about the game of football?

Bang on! Every game is exactly the same regardless of the opposition. I said on another thread that you can't give the opposition 70% of the ball and expect a positive result. I know it's not rocket science but why hasn't Bruce been pulled up on that by the media? There are only The Athletic journalists questioning him. So annoying how he still gets an easy ride.

Everyone was predicting it you mentalist. Not a month ago they weren't. "We will not get relegated" was the mantra a month ago. I also thought we were one of worst teams last season and can't believe we avoided relegation. Norwich were far better than us in my opinion.

I predicted this defeat about a month ago. Some on here think I'm mad.

He is an absolute crap header of a ball. If that's your way of thinking then Gayle is twice the threat in the air.

This is exactly what it was. Humouring the fans and a lot fell for it.

If you constantly give the opposition 65% possession of the ball you can guarantee that you will lose more games than you win. We ALWAYS give the opposition at least that amount of possession. What do you not understand Steve?

5 A fit Dummett is a shoe in for the left back position.

I feel your pain. I can't stand listening to him and when the camera goes on him, I feel embarrassed for him.

Twice the player of Joelinton already. I like him.

No more debating eh? No more "there's a player in there". Get rid of him!

Cruel and untrue. He's been great but made a massive mistake.

Carroll has been very good. Also, someone has told Bruce about this "pressing" malarkey. There is no way that this is his tactics. He's been in touch with Rafa hasn't he?

That statement is (in itself) not remotely true, it is only a 'perception' shared enthusiastically by some - too many - Newcastle United supporters. Also, this is different to the recent norm, you can see that when you look at (think about) the amazing quality of people in our new owners consortium (incedible !!!!!) and then add to that all of those who are now actively working to combat corruption and push this Takeover across the line. Our great City and our great club are in for "one heck of a ride", starting in the very near future! What are you talking about man we haven’t won anything since 1969. We lost out on the title in 96 after being 9 points clear in January (I think), lost two cup finals on the 90s. We had an amazing manager in Keegan who got forced out twice by those above him and we finally get a manager that’s won it all and he leaves after 2 seasons in the PL due to lack of investment We get a multi billionaire take us over and just our luck he’s a skinflint cunt You may not like or agree with the statement but there is definitely truth that nothing good happens/we have anything to celebrate. Honestly think your relentless positivity is borderline trolling ? In regards to your first paragraph, a lot of people like me think that was a great time. So when you say nothing good happens, well it's just not true. My memories of our Wembley trips will never recede. We were the best team in 1996. I'm not bothered what the final league table said we were fantastic and it was great times not good. I think you just love a good moan.

Exactly this. That is why the obvious answer should be Bruce.

Forget about when the letter was first published. To some extent the content of the letter can be dismissed. The fact that there was a letter sent by BEIN to the EPL in the first place is the urgent matter. I have said from day one that Masters and his cronies are corrupt and underhand and this is another nail in their coffin. The truth will come out.

Remind iz? Was giving it big licks about Arsenal being on 14 points and being above them. Can’t remember the exact words. I'm also not sure about the wording but him and his arsehole mates said something like "above Arsenal in the league and in a quarter final, what more do the Newcastle fans want"? It boils my piss when they conveniently use stats to suit them. Not a word from them since.

You have no idea about strategy have you? Ashley AND the consortium are playing this very well. Obviously you can't see that or you are too thick to comprehend it.

Exactly my thoughts. I wish they would all just piss off!

Who the fuck do you think you are?

Very disrespectful. He is far better than Championship. He has NEVER let us down. Good centre half and a great professional.

We look far better with him off the pitch.

Sorry

0-4 or we might nick one, 1-4. Bruce will blame covid and the unfair critcism all week from the fans caused unrest.
