Once again, fans calling into Totalsport last night, claiming that the team is starting to settle and click with 'Bruces tactics', and the football is more expansive and more exciting to watch than under Benitez, now that Bruce is playing with 3 up front.

 

Under Benitez we played a regimented one up front withn Rondon, who was isolated a lot of the time, apparently.

90% of the TotalSport callers are absolute whoppers.

 

They've got no one else to talk to now that their wife has finally divorced them so they spend every night phoning a talk show to inflate their ego over a club "legend" recognising them.

£4m well spent on compo for Bruce tbh, a local manager for local fans. Ashley laughs all the way to London while getting paid for it.

What do you expect from people that get their opinion from what they’ve read in Mike Ashley’s mouthpiece = The Chronicle.

 

According to Mark Douglas we would have less points with Rafa if he had our most expensive Newcastle lineup since promotion that Bruce has.

 

Even though Benitez won 4 of his first 8 Premier League games when we got promoted.

 

And Rafa did it with £5m Joselu upfront.

Have you got a link to the bit in bold?

 

Also we won 3 of our first 7 that season, but i'm just being pedantic pointing that out.

It’s in the replies to his full credit Bruce tweet.

 

Some Newcastle fan said I’d argue Rafa would have us higher with this squad and he went “I wouldn’t”.

 

*Won 4 of our first 9 you’re right :thup:

Thanks, i'll have a look.

 

If I'm going to continue to be pedantic, it was 4 of our first 9...

Cmon Mark Douglas.

 

If Rafa had his full strength 11 from end of last season + the same amount of money spent this summer to either chop and change that group. We’d be in the top 5-7 right now with some gap on the rest of the pack IMO. Not even going to listen to counter arguments to that.

Douglas wasn't arguing that tho. The point was raised that Rafa would have THIS team higher, so same players, he disagreed.

 

Now you can certainly argue against that opinion, but let's not distort what was actually being discussed.

i'm not convinced we'd have been that much better off at this stage under rafa, end of the season a different story

 

I think we’d have beaten Norwich and one of Wolves or Watford like.

In fairness we'd only have to be one win better off to be fifth, so perhaps you could justifiably claim "top 7" or something along those lines.

 

It just baffles me how many folk seem to take someone saying Bruce has done 'alright' or 'ok' as them saying 'he's better than Rafa'. Bizarre.

Do Luke Edwards and Mark Douglas need to make it even more obvious for you to get it? :laugh:

 

You do realise that they (particularly Douglas) were actually massively pro-Rafa?

 

I know Edwards has been weirdly OTT in his defense of Bruce so far this season, but again i'll come back to the point that so many find hard to grasp - if you're pro-Bruce (or even fairly neutral) that does not make you anti-Rafa. Clearly, i'm wasting my time pointing that out to some on here tho.

He’s been the opposite since this PR drive by the club to ruin his reputation.

 

Mark Douglas has been putting out articles saying Rafa Benitez tried to leave multiple times mid-season when he’s never left a club mid season to join someone else in his life.

 

They said he rejected multiple offers when he was here but now they’re saying he tried to leave multiple times it’s obvious why they’re putting out articles in The Chronicle like that.

 

Why put them out now? It’s obvious.
