"Been around the block fer a long long tyme"

I like how Bruces response just escalated it, meaning Gayles comments are getting more coverage thanks to that. Let everyone hear what Gayle said, thanks. I'm seeing a shift in the comments from what they usually were like in videos regarding Bruce, when people hear what Gayle was saying, it's not like he would make it all up. People realise this.

Exactly, it would be much more likely for something to happen next summer if he doesn't sign a new contract. Even if he's considering other options, I doubt that he would be firmly against staying for another year, and then we will see where we are at after that. Fans of other clubs obviously buys the media talk, and when I try to reason with them, I'm being defensive since I'm a Newcastle fan. They made exact same arguments with Bruno the last 2 summers. "Waving goodbye to the fans" ffs. I'd be embarassed if I bought the media narratives like that, and then nothing happened. In 2023 I made a bet with a Barca fan on Bruno going, I gave him 5:2 in his favour, and added the january window on top of that, just to make all his comments even more humiliating when he lost. To him it was so obvious that he would leave. Never heard anything from him after, and he never paid up. Considering making more bets with Arsenal and Pool fans this summer on Isak, that should atleast humble them when nothing happens once again.

It's pretty much like the Bruce "without comparing budgets" comment. It has nothing to do with their lack of skill, it's all about the budget.

"Without comparing budgets." How about we compare your budget to Rafas? Ah, it doesn't work both ways, only when you can be victim. My bad.

You know you've lost when you have to resort to personal attacks.

Another "problem" for Barnes is that Gordon barely ever gets injured. As long as Gordon is ready to play, he starts (atleast up until this point). Again, it's that awkward bit where we wish Barnes was an RW with an excellent left foot instead of right foot.

There are certain players that Howe will allways prefer as first choice, even if the backup did well while he was away. For example Burn straight back at LB last season when Livra was doing well there. Barnes was benched at the start of the season during a run of form, since Howe wanted Gordon back at his preferred position. Maybe things will be different this time though, lets see..

Remember when he was subbed after screaming and holding his knee, but then he was back the next game? He can take it all, don't worry.

He said in the interview that the ban played its part in the decision.

If Guehi is worth £70m, that means BDB is worth £100m.

Fans of other clubs keep asking me "do you think they will manage to keep him?" I didn't know that turning down bids was such a difficult task to perform. Hopefully Mitchell manages to click the right buttons, and doesn't misclick the "accept bid" one.

He was just a lazy manager.. Didn't bother to put the extra work in, and when someone gets critical about it, he plays the victim and turns to gaslighting. Classic lazy employee. It was so obvious that Graeme Jones saved us, but Bruce claimed all the glory for it, as usual.

Powerful speech.

VVD is so tired of Isak, his reaction says it all. Oh, and that cross from Livra with his weaker foot becomes more impressive everytime I see it. Like he's running away from the box right before it, hit it with his weak foot, and it was still so precise. Edit: quoted the wrong post
