Raconteur Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Haven’t done much posting lately, but remember someone (on the old board) saying “where are all the people who voted 0?” Well, I voted 1 at the start of the season, and suffice to say, I’m not at 1 anymore...

FloydianMag Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 21/22 season to commence 14/8/21, not that we’ll be in the PL so 7/8 for us? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the scale of Bruce's inadequacy has been surprising. I thought he'd be shit, but I thought he'd be a fairly standard PFM who would play shit football but grind out 40-50 points somehow. I never expected him to ruin everything as quickly and comprehensively as this. And then, of course, not be sacked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marki Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 really staring down the barrel now,that sinking feeling will become a reality before the sheffield game , everything is pointing to the drop, form,no game plan,players not trying,goal difference,we are probably the un fittest team in the league,but lets have 6 days off,no organisation from top to bottom,injuries & the worst manager in the league by a mile who doesnt,t even want to be here, yep its a 10 now ,just what i expected really but not this quickly,pretty impressive by bruce ,he ,s like a big fucking wrecking ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Fulham beating Everton is when things started to change for me, that ten point gap was big and i just didn't see them winning games, 10 points to 7 felt like more than 3 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the table every couple of weeks, maybe switch score alerts on, that should really be the standard for Newcastle fans at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought last season would be like this one tbh, and it really should have been, he didn't half fluke some of those games. Never had much doubt he'd take us down eventually, every club he's been at has gone into decline after the first year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still benefitted from the defensive organisation and team spirit instilled by Benitez last season. Its why playing 5 at the back was somewhat justified as we still were fairly solid, especially before lockdown stopped football. Some of the results like the shitty 0-0s at home to dross we wouldn't have even gotten this season, as this side of the team has been worn off as a result of Bruce's shite coaching and barely training at all. Performances weren't always bad either, especially away from home. That's all gone now though and it's showing him up for the fraud he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was predicted as well, I said it when he came that he would do well for half a season on the back of Rafa's coaching, and then it would gradually fall apart. That's exactly how it's panned out.

Rich Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 How apt that this is the largest football thread aside from the ones that have had sequels. I’m at a 6, but only because Fulham are gash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 "Newcastle sleepwalking towards the drop" That was the headline in the Times yesterday, written by Martin Hardy who seems to be the local journalist since Caulkin left. But we aren't sleepwalking, we are well aware of our position and have been for over a month now. We have accepted our relegation and handing contracts to the likes of Shelvey and Gayle underline that. Ashley must really be pinning his hopes on winning damages against the PL.

andyc35i Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I think Fulham can beat Villa today whereas we have no chance of getting three points. Villa have been poor recently and it’s looking likely to me that Fulham will be out of the bottom three this evening Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 This sums up my thoughts: 5 minutes ago, Yorkie said: I'm not trying to overdo the negativity but that's the exact sort of performance/result you 'cheer' (I know no one's cheering), but it's still got relegation all over it. Spurs were there for the taking but we still couldn't put them away, but the manager will laud the improved performance. Aye it was an improvement on Brighton but, by all accounts, it couldn't have got any worse. Better than a defeat but very fearful it still won't be enough.
