Former Newcastle defender Steven Taylor: "Were there any positives to take from Ashley's time at Newcastle? Looking back now, not really, no. "The way he handled things - whenever we thought we were doing well as a club, every year he would do something to upset the staff, the fans. You go in every day and see the staff just miserable. "There was no energy around the place. The renaming of the stadium, that was outrageous to do. "I can’t think of one good thing from him from my time at Newcastle other than giving me a new contract. "Stuff that Mike Ashley did, like naming the stadium the Sports Direct Arena, you’re just going against what the fans love."

Hope. Future. Feels good this like.

Newcastle finished 10th and 13th in Benitez's two full seasons with Newcastle in the Premier League and Alex Bruce believes that the Spaniard was given greater respect for what he achieved. He said: "Dad's finished round about similar and yet one's been lauded as a messiah and the other one's been battered since the moment he walked in the door, which has been the most difficult thing for me to watch because he's a Geordie.

I wish Ashley was still here. I mean fuck the club but I’d feel a lot better about how the rest of the world feels about us.

Perfect timing for the return of Bruce to old Trafford. Get their sleeves rolled up.

No giant killing today!

Rather be one down at gillingham in the 3rd than have owners like the mags. FTM. MLF. RSO.

Sky Pundit: He’s done a fantastic job. Sky Stats:

Nearly every thread on the groomers eventually makes reference to nufc. The poor fuckers literally have nothing left but hatred for us.

They’ll get a lot more publicity if the van is turned on it’s side outside the Gallowgate. Probably what they’re hoping for.

I guess the new owners haven’t a clue about running a premiership football team and are defaulting to status quo until they recruit. Understandable if frustrating.

Unless they’re doing things right and actually waiting for the right manager. 1 week into ownership and they’re a shambles, don’t know what they’re doing etc I’ll guarantee he’ll not be here in January. He would have been if Ashley was still here.

Her with the beehive out of the B52’s used to work in the coach and horses on wallsend high street. “Love Shack” could be the new Saudi walk out song

Put your finger in your mouth and say “red” backwards. State of the fucking bedwetting going on from some people in here is absolutely cringeworthy. this time last week MA still ran the club. That’s LAST WEEK, not last month or last year. Fuck me man!

I’d like Greggs to run the food or at least have local themed, branded fast food and local beers in the stadium. Geordie burger: sausage roll in a bun with a slice of cheese instead of lettuce, a slice of cheese instead of tomato and a slice of cheese. Full pickled onion in lieu of gherkin.

The title change was tongue in cheek (I’m assuming similar to that glendingdong Twitter profile pic sipping espresso martini like a pretentious looking gimp) but obviously it whooshed some thick folk in Twitter world.

Always a massive game as far as I’m concerned. Absolutely been the case since my first attended derby game (the “Liam O’Brien over the wall”). 5under1and tag confirms this and as much as how pissed off I was as the 6 in a row unfolded.

I’m not sure he would mind. Has he had to work with shite before? Would he know how to motivate shelvey? I’m still not sure about getting this season “over the line” involves a sexy manager

Why don’t you want to jump on Neesy then?

apologies if already posted.

May be method in the madness here. If (When) Spurs beat us and Bruce sacked with immediate effect after may be used as signal of intent of expected performance and our road to ambition

Full stadium support for a child abuser. Beeewed the players for taking the knee so they don’t do it anymore. Dedicated a game to Nelson Mandela and appointed a self confessed fascist as manager the following day. Racially abused a black players mother outside the ground. Moral high ground specialists alright.
