It sounds like an absolute mess, fucking hell. Imagine that fat prick showing you running statistics. He’s lost it, he’s grasping at anything. In his pathetic low IQ brain more running = playing better.  I reckon he’s despised by a fair few in the team 


It’s PFM 101, reminds me of my under 14s rugby coach.

Poor Ryder just asks a question that has been put to him by the fans and he gets absolute pelters off Bruce .

Ryder’s an easy target for that type of shit. Don’t think Hope would just squirm and whimper like him.

Steve Bruce reacts to Alan Shearer's claim that Newcastle United is 'hollow and empty'

The Magpies have slipped away from European contention and face an annual relegation battle these days

 

Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce has shrugged off comments from Alan Shearer in the aftermath of the Man United defeat.

 

The former Man United skipper watched on as Shearer said on Match of the Day the club had become "hollow and empty".

 

Shearer was signed as a world-record transfer in 1996 when a £15million move to Tyneside from Blackburn Rovers sealed a sensational coup.

 

Since then the club have slowly tumbled from the business end of the Premier League and have not appeared in the Champions League since 2003.

 

When asked about Shearer's remarks, Bruce said: "Look, Alan is entitled to his opinion, that’s what he gets paid for, that’s what his job is now.

 

"What I will say is there is a lot of people and a nucleus of players who have been here a long time, and the club means something to them.

"There’s a lot of good people who work at the club who have also been here a long long time.

"They want the club to do well and unfortunately at the moment, we are not doing well enough.

"All Newcastle fans want to see their team competing at the top of the table like they did 20 years ago.

"Unfortunately at this particular moment, we’re not there. "So there is the frustration for everybody concerned.

"My job is to keep us — and I knew this was going to be difficult — on an even keel, try and get on with the job and move the club forward as best I can, which is very, very difficult, of course."

"Newcastle have conceded the most Premier League goals since Project Restart (June 2020), shipping 91 in 51 games. A set of numbers that screams relegation battle."

 

 

 

To be expected with Brewcies entertainers.  Would rather lose 4-3 than win 1-0, something, something, expectations.

It will implode very quickly now, though Bruce will be going nowhere yet. He still retains the support of his PFM mates (inc Shearer) and Edwards. They will end up blaming us supporters. 
 

it’s going to get really toxic. Mackems will be laughing their tits off. 


 

His mate Alan Brazil was defending him on Talkshite this morning.

 

He mentioned Hope’s article and the allegations that the players weren’t happy with training and said players should just do what their managers tell them.

 

Any other club and manager and they’d be laying into them but no, once again when it comes to us it’s the fans fault or the players fault for being unrealistic.

Alan Brazil's blood pressure level is in direct contradiction to his mental capacity.

What a shame that the players show more ambition than the manager and that fact is blatantly ignored.

Here's some team collective running stats as of March 2021 https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-uniteds-running-stats-season-20098401 - notice the Leeds games (that's their style)

We'll ignore this bit of the article... [emoji38]

 

"They have been outrun 11 times but covering more ground doesn't necessarily mean you're in better shape: playing without possession can mean clocking up more miles.

Former boss Rafa Benitez was not a big fan of running stats - pointing out that it was what you did with the ball that mattered most. But Leeds have outrun opponents in every game this season, favouring a high press."

The way our situation is reported on in the national media is so weird, and I’m not sure I’ve seen it happen with other clubs. The approach is basically “what’s best for Steve, is Steve ok, would it have been best for Steve if he walked away x months ago, are people being nasty to Steve”, rather than asking what’s best for Newcastle.
 

With Arsenal the question is whether Arteta is good enough for them, and that’s it, nothing else.
