Disco Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Edwards on the latest TF wankathon over this chump. Basically an hour on how much Luke is angry the previous (foreign migrant) manager, who he doesn’t like to bring up but had to and would be keen to get a bout of Covid, is to blame for all of the clubs ills. Very in line with the TF/NUST board alignment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Not a fan of showing last 20 games for one and last 16 for the other to presumably make it look better/worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Not a fan of showing last 20 games for one and last 16 for the other to presumably make it look better/worse. It's a pretty shocking attempt at proving a point. Could've just done a simple comparison of the second half of each season which still would've shown NUFC in 8th last year and 16th this year but they've clearly just played around week by week to get us in the most damning spots. Enough other things to hate him for without stretching the stats. Like being a shitehouse of a human being. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 BBC's Phil McNulty (Chief Football Writer no less) 'Hands up. Got this one very wrong. I was convinced Newcastle United would be relegated given the ill-feeling surrounding Steve Bruce's appointment and the apparent miracle performed by Rafael Benitez. Maybe not such a Benitez miracle after all as sound management by Bruce put them in a similar 13th placing without the over-blown reverence reserved for Benitez. Safe and sound.'

I wonder how many of the Bruce appreciation society in the press club would put money on Newcastle staying up next season if the takeover fails? Yeah not that many I suspect. Maybe samptime will back him to do another 'OK job' next time round as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Edwards was ridiculous on that podcast. Bizarrely trying to push through that Bruce had improved Lascelles over the course of the season. He absolutely did, he put the focus of hatred on himself and away from lascelles, who got a bit of confidence back after the fans turned on him over the Ashley comments. Accidental management.

I keep hearing more and more pundits go on about this attacking style we've been playing. Souness alluded to it last week as well. I suppose if you end up peddling a lie over and over eventually more people will start to believe it. My own eyes and the stats suggest we were arguably the least attacking side in the league. Couldn't care less what the likes of Nicholas says, he's probably not even watched us this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Just throwing it out there but I think there was a 5-6 game spell either side of lockdown where we started showing improvement after which point we were knocked and had no reason left to win. I think if we luck out with three signings (CM, LB, CF) and retain the others in a non takeover world we’d finish 13th on merit next season (as opposed to the sheer luck from this season) Not that I want that of course Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I think there was one game against Bournemouth where we actually attacked pretty well, but then we played Man City and played a 10 man defence and that seemed to knock the stuffing out of us. Bruce doesn't have a set way of playing, he's like Pardew in that he'll chop and change after every bad result and see if it makes a difference. He's an absolute pud.

I didn't used to mind him before this season tbf and even at the start of the season pod they referenced he was fine compared to Twitter. Now he's just a client journalist.
