Bimpy474 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 The only miniscule hope we have is the sale is/will be approved, and the fat arse knows it and is refusing to spend, leaving the new owners the winter window. Even that's pie in the sky bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 2 minutes ago, The Prophet said: There's absolutely no way that we're worse on paper than Norwich, Watford, Brentford, Southampton and Burnley. Our attacking unit is comfortably better than any of them. Our attacking unit consists of two injury prone players playing for a manager who doesn’t believe in conditioning. Of course we’re in massive trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consortium of one Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 <BREAKING> MIKE ASHLEY HAS REACHED DEEP INTO HIS POCKETS AGAIN. SOURCES CLAIM JOELINTON IS HAVING A MEDICAL AHEAD OF HIS AMAZING SECOND SIGNING ON TYNESIDE. APPARENTLY THE BILLIONAIRE OWNER HAS RESPUNKED ANOTHER RECORD SETTING TRANSFER FEE ON THE ERSTWHILE STRIKER EVEN THOUGH HE IS ALREADY UNDER CONTRACT WITH THE CLUB. NEWCASTLE GAFFER STEVE BRUCE, WINDED AFTER A HECTIC DAY FURIOUSLY WORKING THE PHONES, PROCLAIMED, "IT"S LIKE A NEW SIGNING!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I still find it hilarious that people were expecting something different from our transfer window. Based on what exactly? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are the worse three teams - Burnley, Norwich and Brentford? All three will get points from us this season. Burnley battle hardened with superior manager. 2 goal scorers in Wood and Barnes. Brentford look vibrant, fit, pass well, loads of movement and progressive attack minded manager. Toney has looked strong and impressive so far. Norwich have made some interesting signings some we we’re linked with and have a decent manager. Pukki will get goals. I think we possibly finish above Norwich but far from convinced about other 2. I think this season could be most toxic for years and might even kick off big time against Leeds on a Friday night when they put us to sword. Be plenty of Leeds scattered around ground making themselves known just to increase temperature. Edited August 31, 2021 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Wilson will miss games, ASM will miss games, there’s no way we can stick a plaster over the loss of a Wilson injury. You need goals to stay up. We’re in huge trouble. Bruce will toe the line, shame, it be great to see Bruce throw a paddy and do off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Such a ridiculous argument. You could pick strengths and weaknesses in any team in the league. There isn't much to choose between any of the bottom 6-7 sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever enthusiasm the players and fans have, has just been extinguished by the way the idiots running our club act. Don't underestimate how much damage this is going to do to an already fragile squad, with a buffoon of manager in the dug out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I have no doubt we'll be in and about the relegation scrap again. I just think as with last season, we possess individual quality that other sides don't and that will be enough to keep us up. The way we're ran we fully deserve to go down though, it'll be relatively funny if we do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Linton Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 If Bruce does his next press conference and doesn't complain about the lack of transfers then no one in the press should use it as an excuse for him either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 There was 2 domestic and 3 international loan deals available to replace the 150-200k per week gaps from the players who have left. The fact that not one of those options were used is probably the most damming decision made under the Ashley era (that takes some doing also). He can’t use the excuse of leaving current players out either, as he had no hardship doing that with certain players in the past two seasons. He also can’t use the excuse of signing Willock as seemingly the transfer fee is being staggered and not paid up front. This will probably be covered this year by the fees received from Lejuene and Armstrong. This season is going to be nasty, Bruce should resign but he won’t and this will increase the pressure.

Yelevats Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Bruce can’t complain as he was telling us all how wonderful his bosses were for signing Willock (obviously he thought the tongue ? rimming would pay dividends later in the window) yet all he has been left with is ? on his wonky nose ?
