Well that's not true, barristers have no choice but to take on a case if instructed, there are only very limited circumstances where they can refuse and feeling they can't win is not one of them. They examine the evidence and inform the client if they have a case or not. This would have happened before it became public knowledge that they had been hired.

I don’t subscribe to the notion that supporters are complicit by turning up. They didn’t turn up for Steve Bruce, they turned up because they love the club, even in its current state. Some people can switch it off like a tap but not the majority. And yes there’s been a few idiots speaking up for him on social media, every single club has them. I guarantee you there’s a small percentage that prefer him over Benitez simply because he’s British. You’re never going to reach those people. And this includes the media folk too, ex players etc. I guarantee you there’s a union of ex player/managerial hopefuls that just resent the fact that foreign coaches (and players for the most part) are better in every way. The supporters aren’t the problem. The people running the club are. They can see what’s going on like the rest of us. The only difference is that they don’t care.

I didn’t hate the guy when he took over, I thought he wasn’t good enough for the job but results last season kept the spotlight off him to a degree. He’s done in less than 12 months what it took Pardew a few years to do, which is bring the hatred levels up to a point where if was breathing standing next to me I’d want to punch him. Literally every single word, expression, gesture fills me with a rage I can’t describe adequately enough.

2 week international break after Brighton, I think it’ll depend on how many points we get in next 3. Is stem cell treatment allowed for professional football players? ?

I reckon he’ll be back for the Brighton match, that would be 6 weeks.

Watch the Maguire thing again, he doesn’t make contact with his elbow, he turns his body and shoulders Lascelles. If ASM hadn’t have scored it may have been picked up as a foul but it’s certainly not violent conduct.

Wins against Leeds, Southampton, Arsenal and a draw against Leicester in their last 4. We shouldn’t be expecting anything against these under the current setup and available players.

Jones was a safe and relatively cheap plaster to cover up the wound, it’s worked to a degree but only so much. If they get rid of Bruce, it would be a lot of pressure to put on someone who’s never managed at this level before. He’s in a nice spot right now in that any good performances are on him, any bad ones are on Bruce. The thing over the weekend about Rafa had to have been total bullshit, if Carr is back on the scene as reported. I’m not sure if there was a problem between them, but Rafa saw fit to oust him so can’t see them working together. Last night, I thought, yeah, one more loss and he’ll be gone. But the reality is they probably won’t sack him.. just hope that we pick up more points than Fulham from the remaining games. We both have very tough fixtures.

Yes we are, but we’re also having to work much much harder than the majority of the teams we’re playing to do anything with the ball. That effort up to half time was about as good as I’ve seen them this season. We didn’t give them any time on the ball and they were rattled. It took its toll though, big Joe going off made us lightweight and he was doing lots of pressing deep and clever link up play (he actually had one of his better games for us) and then we just crumbled. Had no energy or plan b to execute.

Think Shearer had 8 and Rafa a similar number. Plenty of time if they act now. Of course they won't. Given that a new manager would take 3-4 games to get to know the squad and evaluate it, it needs to happen now. If Benitez had just 2-3 games more he’d have kept us up. By the time it took him for instance to realise S.Taylor was finished and brought in Lascelles, we only had about 6 games left. And we didn’t lose any of those games, getting points against Liverpool, City and Spurs

He was smiling coming off because his team won tonight. The big lie that far too many people have swallowed is that he’s a supporter of this club. It’s just another job for him, he’s doing the bare minimum knowing he’ll get a massive pay off for being a total failure. It’s a much easier gig than trying to be successful. He’s perfected it.

The next PFM innit

Fuck off you absolute cuntbag

Someone with rewind please grab a screenshot of that.. what an absolute toe rag.

Sorry, did you just see that cunt smiling?

Protecting the assets now. Pathetic. This was a pretty poor Man Utd team tonight, there was something to be had but Bruce simply doesn’t have the belief in himself. The second Joelinton went off we crumbled, no plan b. The only silver lining in this is that Ashley probably will start sweating now. Another loss and he’ll pull the trigger imo

If Jones hadn’t been brought in we’d be in the bottom 3 right now.

Be gentle Steve, please baby I've got to tweet tomorrow about how the players are letting you down. Nah, Steve is a submissive for sure.

It’s all connected though. The defence they had just bossed the pitch, they were able to hold a very high line knowing that they’d win 99% of balls in the air and then quick enough to deal with counters. Their midfield are having to drop back much deeper to get control of the ball leaving the whole thing disjointed. Doubt has set in and one by one the players are dropping out of form. They know it’s over and it has been for weeks now.

Correct. It was a clear goal scoring opportunity and he was impeded.

c*** is dressed like Rainman ready for the casino. “Oh you poor unfortunate man. Let’s get you out of those clothes immediately. And we’ll do whatever we can about the smell”

If we continue with this fraud of a manager I can’t see us getting any more than 5 points going into the last game of the season. Man Utd - lose Wolves - lose West Brom - 1 point Villa - lose Brighton lose Spurs - lose Burnley - 1 point West Ham - lose Liverpool - lose Arsenal - lose Leicester - lose Man City - lose Sheffield Utd - 3 points Fulham ? Looking at Fulham’s fixtures, they’d be doing well to get more than 8 points before they play us. But it’s possible. Sheffield Utd - 3 points Palace - lose Spurs- lose Liverpool - lose Man City - lose Leeds - 3 points Villa - 1 point Wolves - lose Arsenal - lose Chelsea - lose Burnley - 1 point Southampton - lose Man Utd - lose Newcastle ? That could leave us on 30 points and them on 27 going into last game, currently they have a better goal difference than us. If they pick up more than 10 points before last game we are fucked.

Forum speculation turns into a general internet rumour which journos pick up on and publish as news which creates a frenzied speculation on the internet and also another flurry of forum posts on the topic until that topic runs out of steam and another is started thus keeping the cycle going. Are we the head or the arse of the snake?

My hate for him at this point is well past Pardew levels.
