NUFC thread 2021.

Bruce took over from Rafa and clearly tried to stick with the same tried and tested method that got Rafa by.
But now that’s it’s falling to bits he hasn’t got an alternative to succeed with.
That result last night will be a nightmare to recover from, but they will.
Certainly not in the worst 3 teams in the league, despite the result last night.
Hopefully Bruce boy will blame our connections when he gets the chop.

They definitely are from what I’ve seen, and living in Gateshead surrounded by them, 95% of them think so as well.

They are lucky they picked the points up they did earlier in the season because the rot looks like it’s well and truly set in.

Harmison on radio just then, they only got out of the championship due to Rafas "brilliance".
Errr, how many millions did Ashley give him that season?
Conveniently forgotten that.

60 million. The second most amount of money every spent on a team in that divisiion and they already had the likes of Shelvey, Lascelles, Clark and others. It was a miracle though.

 

[Tin Soldier]

Is there takeover still on ?
Was watching mag supporters on YouTube last night and they still seem to think it’s going through

Apparently so ? Most scribes seem to think the powers that be will capitulate because they want money pouring into the PL to boost the already massive coffers

Without Saint maximim we are the worst team in the league. With him we are around 14th level

 

[Exile 1968]

Eh? Surely they are complaining how as they won loads of trophies recently?

They won the Northumberland Senior Cup. 8 page pull out in the Chronic

Typically though he contradicts himself immediately...he clearly does care

Of course he does.

He's just a bit narked at the minute

Didnt they almost blow it as well? If Huddersfield hadnt fucked up in their last 2 games. Might be wrong, I just remember that for some reason.

Edit
I was wrong, I think it might have been that they nearly blew the chance to go up as Champions.

Must be the most valuable player in the world to single handedly improve a team 6 positions .

no chance

 

[bedlington mackem]

Have they just had a double drop? Perhaps a 15 point season? A year without a home win?

no .....but they are 8 points clear of the drop zone !

 

[myleftfoot1978]

Any day now.

Why is de BRUYNE so deep, got to play further forward to get the best out of those 3 attackers

 

[Alleycat]

They loved Rafa cos he won things elsewhere. He could have taken them down to League 1 and theyd have still loved him. They were convinced they were part of Europe's elite with him in charge. He was a busted flush when he went there and spent Millions to win a shit Championship.

I believe it's called a CULT

if he had took them down it would have been Ashley's fault!

Largest budget and wage bill in second tier history at the time. Didn't need "brilliance", merely the ability to not cock it up.

All Ashley cares about is survival tbf, finishing safely bottom half will keep him happy

 

[wigwams]

Hope to fuck Eddie Howe gets a job soon

He’s doing a great job, better than what Rafa achieved there.

Bruce relegations - 0
Rafa relegations - 1

We were on course for 28pts last season on points per game without him

with him we were on course for something like 50 odd
