TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 10 points dropped at home against Norwich, Villa, Watford, West Ham and Brighton is very poor How about beating Spurs away? How about beating Man United at home? How about beating Chelsea at home? How about doing the double over Sheffield United without conceding? How about doing the double over Southampton? How about doing the double over Bournemouth? How about 3 home losses this season in 17 games? Is that VERY POOR? Alex Bruce has logged back on it seems Why even quote my post if you are not even going to bother to engage with it in a meaningful way? You don’t even address the point I’m making and then you hysterically hurry your way through a whatabout tour of Bruce’s achievements Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 What argument? There's no discussion. I simply remain bewildered as to why you get angry over people's dislike of someone you accept is shit, simply because he's done 'okay'. Quite honestly, I don't even recall you engaging with me until now. I pop in now and then with a dickish comment that usually gets ignored. god damnit Why are you angry that we're on 43 points in 33 games? How do you enjoy asking these questions over and over again? I'm not angry. I'm quite definitively non-plussed over this whole season, mainly over my disillusionment thanks primarily to Ashley. Am I not allowed to continue disliking Steve Bruce as much for his personality as his management ability? Funnily enough I feel like the only time I posted more than an off the cuff snarky comment that explained a lot of people's dislike of Bruce is clearly about more than just whatever points total we get this year, it was one of those times I didn't see you engage at all. But obviously you couldn't just ask me 'but is he doing okay?' in response. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's NO Online. It's nowt really to do with Bruce hate, Yes he managed the Mackems, and yes his managerial record is wank, But its what's gone on here in the Ashley era, and whoever followed Rafa wasn't going to get the respect. But with Bruce if he was any kind of Newcastle fan which he isn't any kind of Geordie that he might like to pretend to be at times, he would have steered clear of working under this regime, most of us thought we'd turned the corner with Rafa, but it was more piss poor treatment, like Keegan and Houghton before hand. With Bruce I'm glad he's proving the doubters wrong, I'm glad the club are doing well and players may be happy? But I don't suppose I'd be bothered if Bruce was sacked tomorrow or even if the new owners don't want him. I cant deny hes done ok, but I genuinely think any of the current PL managers would have done equally as good if not slightly better, and we have had some lucky moments this season. Dont hate him, but I didn't want him as manager to start with and if we get taken over I'd hope he's replaced immediately. But as things stand I hope he does the best he possibly can. ??

Anderson Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 People dislike Bruce for what he represents, pure unashamed apathy. The very fact your making a song and dance about us being 12th pretty much sums it up. 43 points is nothing to celebrate, regardless of if it’s not quite been the implosion some feared. Bruce’s appointment, the media’s championing of his ‘success’ and celebrating 43 points (ffs) is all part and parcel of the club’s wings being clipped. It’s us being told that this is all Newcastle United can strive for, treading water in the PL and that we should be happy with it. Bruce is complicit in all that, so fuck him.

Gan to bed, man. I'm calling Wormy a dick for a shit meme. I responded to a fucking selective message about us driopping points at home to "Norwich, Villa, Watford, West Ham and Brighton" being VERY POOR. Can you read Anderson? "VERY POOR". We have lost 3 games at home. Is that very poor? See, it's easy to be selective too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 We’ve won 6 home games out of 17, do you think that’s acceptable? Unless we get a draw against Liverpool, our home form is likely to have been the same as we managed in our last relegation season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 If you're giving Bruce any credit whatsoever for Chelsea, you're degrading your own argument. Beating the Blues was the greatest injustice I've seen on a football pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
