And your goals conceded are a similar level.

Yet your attack hasn't been weakened?

Bruce lost Rondon and Perez this season. While Rondon was on loan he was a big part of how you played. I'm not really understanding how it's Bruce's fault a signing you were signing before he was appointed is shite

 

[marco popas]

You've misunderstood, he didn't reject the Newcastle contract because of the money offered. I've no doubt that money was the chief reason he went to China.

So he is a mercenary?

Our attack has changed enough for me to make allowances on that side of things. but we've the same defensive unit that we did under the previous manager, and yet the performances are significantly worse.

It's Bruce fault for playing that signing in an unfamiliar role for much of the season. It's no shock that the best performances from Joelinton have come when he's been played not as a lone, isolated targetman, but as a forward coming in from the wings. It'd be like playing Shelvey on the wing, or asking Carroll to chase onto long balls over the top.

So he is a mercenary?

... no. He would have stayed at Newcastle had he received (and trusted) assurances that he'd have control of the transfers, and that monies would be invested in the facilities and academy.

Were he purely mercenary he could have signed the rewarding contract he was on and merrily relinquished control of transfers etc.

That's your opinion not fact. He got offered a fortune in China and took it. Cant blame him really

43 goals conceded with 7 to play

@The Fish

Let it go, I don’t think Rafa is going to shag you mate.

 

[Exile 1968]

We were 19th when he took over.

Where did you finish. I cant remember
Fact is they need, for their own delusions of grandeur, a foreign manager who's won things elsewhere. It fits in with how they see themselves. As a European Super Power. When in reality they're a shit Northern Provincial club who have not won anything for 65 years. And they probably have a majority of fans brought up on the Keegan years who never have seen them win anything and never will. Thank God I saw us win the Cup in '73.its something they will never experience. Oh and fuck off you tramps

 

[mr chuckles]

I reckon the fish's wife must be a ringer for Rafa it's the only way to explain all this

7 games to play where this club could easily ship more than 5 goals, hell we could ship 5 goals in one match, again. And I specifically said that the performances are significantly worse, which they have been.

That's your opinion not fact. He got offered a fortune in China and took it. Cant blame him really

A deal he took after it was clear that NUFC and he couldn't come to an agreement. Can't blame him really.

That's just your opinion. Results and league position suggests performances haven't been worse.

Depends what you pay him. Fsw will do anything for the right price.

If that last statement were true they must have rushed the work permit through in record time as it was in place the next day.

 

[Metro Man]

Little Boro is the other one man, he never visited last year either. Boro is never mentioned as he is the scruffy twat of the family. He has a spot on the side of his face that made it look like he has two heads. Neither Sonny nor Nobby like talking about him, that said he has his own home as well, Nobby is the only one who doesn't. They aren't quite in the same company as Nobby, but they have a new build and don't live in rented accommodation

Nobby has just returned from a very successful short break on the south coast but prefers to spend his considerable income on European holidays. He may even take up camel racing next year.

I think Nobby would accept stoning women in the Bigg Market ahead of camel racing

They trebled his wage, tax-free. Come on man, you don't seriously think he would have stayed with you if Ashley had agreed to give him £100m in transfer funds, do you?

 

[mad cyril]

It seems there’s Sunderland fans who literally want us to win so they can say Bruce is better then Benitez;

And;

A section of Newcastle fans who want us to lose to prove Benitez is better then Bruce.

I find both positions equally baffling like.

100% there is an element of our support who don’t like it when Bruce wins. Mental but true.

 

[Ale taster]

I wonder how many years this boring Rafa argument is going to rumble on for.

Until he returns and fails.

Sonny can only dream of stonings. Instead, he gets stoned and shouts angrily to passers by that he once bought a tea towel from Joplings.

That's just your opinion. Results and league position suggests performances haven't been worse.

That's not true. Results and League position show that results haven't been worse, and that those results have delivered this league position. They don't necessarily give a full picture of performances. Performance metrics give a better picture of performances. e.g. Newcastle could play shit, be absolutely battered and fluke a massively deflected own goal to give them the win. Liverpool could absolutely batter a team, entertain the crowd for 90 minutes, and pepper the goal with shots, but the 'keeper has a worldy and they only get the draw.
Your way of judging a performance says Newcastle performed better.
