NUFC thread 2021.

[Maravilla]

Definitely.

Based on what I’ve seen, I have to say that the criticism he’s getting from the Mags at the moment is 100% warranted. I hope he stays there for a long time.

Told me Mag mates when they appointed him that he'd end up being more hated than Pardew ever was. A piss poor manager and a massively unlikable bloke with a huge chip* on each shoulder.

*No pun intended towards the fat mess

 

[Im wrang oni]

There was a 'Bruce Out' banner hung from the Tyne Bridge this morning.
I say banner it looked more like a soiled bedsheet. If only Brucie had won the Champions League previously to mask how desperately dull and deficient his team are......

 

[Moderate Power]

I think he's a nice bloke in real life

Most probably is, always seems courteous.

 

[Mboma]

Shame he can't take his mother along to the games to get abused like she did her

 

[Get Into Em]

Pardew your lot hated him, kinnear your lot hated him, the only two your lot have loved is ke GONE and the waiter.

Most fans don't hold past managers in high regard.

How many do the majority of our fans not dislike since 1992 (When Keegan was at the mags)? Peter Reid, Roy Keane, Sam Allardyce, who else?

 

[Roker Mackem]

I did, aye, sorry.

It wasn't like. It was because he's shit.

Maybe part of it but a huge chunk was because he failed here.

 

[safctommie]

He manages Sheff Utd then later goes to Sheff Wed,
Birmingham then Villa
us then the mugs
Has he ever sat back and wondered why he’s been up against it from day 1 at certain clubs,or is he being a bit cute .

 

[Left For Dead]

Because our attack, midfield and defence are not performing.
Because we're being comprehensively outplayed by Brighton, Fulham, Sheffield, Brentford, etc.
Because we're limped out of the FA Cup to the second string of a Championship side.

If you've not watched us and are only going off points won, you might be forgiven in thinking there's nothing to complain about, but as someone who's watched every game under Bruce, I can tell you, it's arguably the worst football I've seen us play in over 30yrs.

He is doing what he did here but worse. We had a good few games when bent was on fire and that team pissed on yours. Bruce cant keep players fit or win pressure games- he bottles the derby games and cup games. He once set us up 6-4-0. He is a total pudding.

 

[Left For Dead]

Expect non-acceptance due to him being a mackem manager to follow very soon.

I really hope Mike doesn’t pull the trigger

He wont yet. Fat Mike can smell that next 100 million coming. Who will average more than a point per game below nufc?

Steve 'The Excuse' Bruce

If ever a conducive sets of twats deserved each other. It’s these.

Yeah, he'll only pull the trigger if he starts to smell relegation.

 

[DrNo!]

Just wait till his son starts having a pop at abusive Newcastle fans on Twitter. Front page of the The Chronicle and death threats for poor Alex no doubt.

I think that has already happened.

 

[Elephant]

Telling the truth for once.

@Scottwilsonecho: Steve Bruce isn't mincing his words when it comes to #NUFC's performance at Sheff Utd on Tuesday - "we were absolute shite" - but after admitting he let the players "get comfortable", now he says "the gloves are off"....

Ashley isn't one to give in to pressure from the stands, in fact quite the opposite. He'll be happy for Bruce to carry on his trolling.

 

[Sack Fatto]

Portraying himself as the helpless victim yet again...I think the axe is hovering over your big swollen neck Mrs Doubtfire.

I hope not, of course. His tenure at the Scum is most enjoyable.

 

[molthemackem]

Always the victim

Wait until he uses "they hoonded me oot for being a Mackem" Nowt to do with 55 games in charge in the league, 16 wins, 15 draws and 24 loss'es. Heading for being worse for the mags than he was with us.

 

[mackemal]

Rafa the waiters 2 full premier league seasons at the mags
10th with 44 points
13th with 45 points
Bruce last season
13th with 44 points

One loved one hated both more or less the same. Would love to get my head round that one

 

[DaveH]

What are the mags problems with him? Just below mid table, a comfortable gap from relegation, win a few they didn’t expect, lose a few they didn’t either. On face value his record is not too different to Rafa, and they loved him. Why not love one of their own equally?

Looks like we were thinking the same at the same time
