Good job they were playing an unlimited amount of injury time.

It’s not that. Stay tuned folks.

Come on now The SportsBible isn’t being posted as anything other than dogshit rumours?

Reports of more drama behind the scenes.

Not sure this is true at all. I think the last few games have been a clear indication that Bruce has lost the dressing room. A dressing room he’s never really had a grip out. Countless reports of in-house fighting and moles. He’s also clearly going to get sacked. How much effort will he be putting in now? He’ll be an even less of a motivational guru than he already is. Sacking Bruce would bring an immediate lift and would give us more chance of winning games rather than if he was here. If Jones can’t produce anything, fine. We’ll be bringing someone else in anyway. But we wouldn’t be any worse off than keeping Bruce.

Or Bruce is the one doing the briefing…

We have a kitchen, but it’s currently on fire. The Restaurant Manager’s job will be easier the quicker someone puts it out.

I genuinely think we’d be better off sacking him and just letting the players organise themselves, he’s that bad.

I read somewhere not long after the takeover happened (can’t remember where) that suggested this had happened.

Of our top 10, would be a stretch to say only three have been a success? Shearer, Wijnaldum and Wilson? Wilson being a perma-crock makes it difficult to say it’s been a complete success.

Not a chance we’re at training today

This absolute helmet is nowhere near Pardew’s levels btw. That smarmy cunt would’ve won yesterday. Yesterday is one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen live and that’s no exaggeration. Considering the positivity around the club yesterday and the possibility of riding a wave against a really poor Tottenham side, yet serving up that absolute shit. To completely misread the game as much as he did throughout was impressive. Can’t remember the last time I watched a team try and defend a 3-1 defeat. Didn’t put any pressure on the ball, try and get any foot in or anything. Tottenham were at walking pace during injury time (and for the entire match) but after we’d just scabbed a goal and had every chance of pushing forward it was bizarre. Took our only striker off and left one on the bench. Bringing Shelvey on when we were getting overrun in midfield was criminal.

Doesn’t help it seemed the entire game plan was to lump long balls up to him. Presumably just because he’s tall. During the warm up, he looked like a solid player. He even hit a ball with power behind it. Put him in the match and he looks a complete donkey. I’m going to reserve total judgement until we have a proper manager in. Longstaff, Hayden, Lascelles, Manquillo... they all looked like competent PL players under Rafa. Under Bruce they barely look Championship standard.

If he doesn’t go today, that’ll be their second mistake, after not sacking him last week. Three points down already on what we should have, we can’t afford to keep losing these.

Knows the team sheet most weeks. Not so good on takeovers. TBC regarding sackings.

It’s not a total surprise we are pathetic defensively when our two best defenders are sat on the bench.

“Steve stabilised Newcastle and kept them up during a turbulent period. He did a great job under difficult circumstances.”

Wonder how often he’ll be over for matches? His day job is probably fairly full on Can’t imagine he’ll be skipping over to watch us against Burnley on a Tuesday night.

The man deserves his own thread. Welcome. What a reception he got today.

Maybe so, but doesn’t explain why the stadium was pretty much near silent from five minutes onward, despite us leading at that point. Not helped by the god awful tactics and football on display, but still really poor. It can only get better from here!

It was close to us and did not look good at all. Really pleased to hear they are now stable and appearing to be on the road to recovery.

It was a poor decision, imo. But he’s shown himself up yet again and I’d be very worried if he isn’t binned very soon.

Dreadful experience really. The pre-match and first five minutes were class. Loudest roar I’ve heard at SJP for years. After that, it was typically shit. Chants for Bruce out non-existent until the final 10 minutes and could hear a pin drop for the majority. Stadium full of an Ashley generation. Hopefully the individual in the East Stand will be okay. It was recognisably a dreadful incident a few moments before the crowd managed to get the game stopped. Fair play to all involved though (including the players, specifically Eric Dier) who summoned help very quickly.
