Isnt Gattuso married to a Scottish lass? She might be homesick?

There's always the Celtic job.

[Ben]

Bruce is gone at the end of the season isn't he ? 

[Anderson]

If we're not getting taken over, might as well go for it. Be a laugh for a short period at least. About as good as it's going to get for the foreseeable.

Did you used to be "newcastle rocker"? I've been meaning to ask.

[toontownman]

Wont be long until Bruce throws another hissy fit about the disrespect he gets with all these manager links, the hurt and how he deserves better.

End of next

That's when his contract is up but even if Ashley is still here he has to be gone at the end of this season, too many daft little rumours, also I didn't realise he's barred Craig Hope

[number9shirt]

Gattuso yes please, I'd take him ahead of shelvey anyday.

Nah, Ashley won't want to change manager whilst he's *actively trying to sell the club

 

* Righto

Aye, barred Hope when he broke the Ritchie story

Still barred according to Liam Kennedy last night.

Won't be surprised if he is until Bruce leaves.

Jesus wept!

Brendan Rodgers talking about Steve Bruce ahead of Friday night, saying: ‘Steve Bruce has done an outstanding job. He’s limited in budget there. The expectation at Newcastle is huge…he’s shown throughout his career that he’s an excellent manager.’

Massively wrong on every count. Suppose its in his interest to keep the charade going and prolong our cannon fodder status.

In light of his poor landlordship has Steve Hoose been suggested? Maybe in the archives on account of his shape.

We’re going backwards in every conceivable metric. I wish I could get praise for that sort of performance.

was drinking coffee when I read this and spit it all over my keyboard

Ah so he's a cunt then, Rodgers.

Might be an odd view but don’t think selling Ferdinand would have been bad if we’d replaced him properly. He was 30, we got our £6m back, he was starting to get injuries and the goals started to dry up. He had a random good season at the end of his career with Leicester and that was it.

That was the sting in the tail with Dalglish for me. I think most us were resigned to Tino and Ginola not being his cup of tea, though Les would have been a good bet to stay but I could live with the money at the time, giving Dalglish more credit than he deserved to reinvest and replace them.  I forsaw Colin Hendy, Tim Flowers, Brian Laudrup and John Collins coming in, admittedly less attractive but maybe under Dalglish better fits and grew to accept it. Not Tomasson, Andersson, Ketsbaia, Hamilton, Pistone and co.

[Bimpy474]

I have a socially and mentally challenged porter who works for me. When anyone asks me what's wrong with him if he's been acting strange, which is all the time.

I can hardly say he's a full on mentalist. It's a bit like that with Bruce, the other managers can't say ' Old Steve, he's shite' 

[BlueStar]

"He’s shown throughout his career that he’s an excellent manager.’"

 

Fucking... What could possibly be more wrong that this? "if Oscar Pistorious has shown one thing through his career it's that he has a full and complete set of human limbs" would only tie with it.

[ScottishMagpie]

Urgh! Fucking sick of managers saying nice things about the useless sack of shit.  Wish someone would just come out and be honest "aye, he's a bit shite like, dunno how hes lasted this long."

You can see every game with the way he goes on with managers before and after games that he loves to be liked. No surprise any manager comes out with anything but nice words, as I bet he rings all of them several times during a season, just for friendly mate chats.

[Sima]

The ‘expectation’ shite being trotted out again is the most galling. 

Being a Premier League manager is one of the cushiest jobs in the world.  Spit out bullshit cliches, never get challenged on any comments you make and to top it off if you are so shit at your job at to get sacked you get millions.

Scumbag landlord will love those comments. If it wasn’t absolutely nailed on already we’ll roll over and get tickled tomorrow night.

Do people expect Rodgers to call Bruce fucking shit and a donkey in the press? Of course he has to act professional ffs He owes us nothing

The atom, derived from a Greek word that translates loosely into "that which cannot be divided," is widely considered to the the fundamental unit of all matter. Atoms consist of subatomic particles called protons, neutrons and electrons, with the former two residing in the nucleus of the atom and accounting for almost all of its mass, and electrons confined to orbitals on the edge of the atom. The number of protons in naturally occurring atoms ranges from 1 to 92; these different atoms correspond to elements, which have different electrochemical properties owing to their varying masses and the unique arrangement of their tiny constituent particles in space.

 

The Atom

Atoms are extremely small particles and cannot be divided further except by extraordinary means. Think of the pieces that make up a jigsaw puzzle. These can technically be separated into smaller pieces of cardboard and paper by destroying them, but for practical purposes, these pieces are the fundamental, indivisible elements of jigsaw puzzles.

Atoms consist of protons, which carry a positive electrical charge; electrons, which carry a negative charge; and neutrons, which carry no charge. Thus in an ordinary, electrically neutral atom, the number of protons and the number of electrons is equal.

 

The atomic mass of an atom is approximately equal to the number of protons plus the number of electrons, since the mass of electrons is practically negligible.

The Proton

The proton is, in effect, the index particle of any atom. It is the number of protons in an atom that determines the identity of the element an atom belongs to; in other words, if two atoms have a different number of protons, they are not the same element.

 

The number of protons in an element determines its atomic number, Z. Hydrogen is the lightest element and has one proton (Z = 1); uranium is the heaviest naturally occurring element and has 92 protons (Z = 92). Each proton, which is assigned a mass of 1.00728 atomic mass units (amu), has a charge designated as +1.

Atoms can exist with only a proton in their nucleus, as is the case with hydrogen atoms. A nucleus without at least one accompanying proton, however, is not an atom.

The Neutron

 

Neutrons are similar in size to protons, with an amu of 1.00867, and also inhabit the nucleus of atoms. The number of neutrons in an atom in an element's most stable configuration is usually greater than the number of protons, with this disparity becoming larger as atomic number increases. A hydrogen atom, for example, has a proton but no neutrons, while a helium atom has two of each. Tin, on the other hand, has 50 protons and 69 neutrons, while uranium has 92 and 146 respectively.

The number of protons plus neutrons in an atom is its mass number, M. Thus the number of neutrons in an atom is its atomic mass number minus its atomic number, or M – Z.

If an atom gains or loses neutrons, it remains the same element but becomes an isotope of that element. Different isotopes are identified by appending M to the upper left corner of the abbreviation for that element. For example, 14C is an isotope of carbon (Z = 6) that has eight neutrons rather than the usual six.

 

The Electron

Electrons are tiny (0.000549 amu), negatively charged particles that are described as orbiting the protons and neutrons that make up an atom's nucleus, in the manner of planets orbiting the sun. This is a rough description at best, however, as advances in quantum physics have led to the concept of discrete orbitals about the nucleus between which electrons may "jump." These orbitals correspond to different electromagnetic energy levels and are given names such as s, p, d and f. The motion of electrons stems from their having a charge of -1 and being attracted to the positively charged nucleus.

Normally, the number of electrons in an atom is equal to Z, making these atoms neutral in overall charge. Some atoms have different numbers of protons and electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge. These atoms are called ions.

So your response to Wullie ridiculing the pure la-la-land that is the takeover thread, is to spam the forum with posts that are factually accurate and non-fantastical for a change? Interesting.
