If you can find one that can put a positive spin on an attack minded player that doesn't get a single goal and a single assist for a manager then fill your boots.

He was creating 3-4 chances a game on average.

Now imagine I'm playing left wing, and I'm putting cross after cross on a plate for you to score but you've got two left feet. Is it my fault you can't score?

Pardew won the manager ofthe year award with you lot. When he walked out on you, you immediately plummeted to the bottom of the league and nearly got relegated. Then you actually did get relegated the season after. You’ve never got back to the heights he had you at when he walked.

If you had disdain for him, then you were never ever going to like Bruce.

As long as they have a name in charge that massages their ego then results and performances don't really matter.

Nah, sorry we'll have to agree to disagree on this one, he may not be an elite attacker, but the notion he couldn't cut it in a top league is untrue. He could go to La Liga tomorrow and be a top half player no bother.

He couldn’t hack it in the Wearside league man, pound for pound the worst player in the premier league.

He’ll fancy a crack in PL especially after lampard

he would fancy a crack im sure but the last place you want to go as an up and coming manager is to work under Ashley like. It’s basically a cast iron guarantee to ruin your reputation. He will dripfeed just enough cash to keep you in the league and if he thinks your looking relatively safe he’ll turn off the funding taps. He’d be absolutely mental to go to nufc in my opinion

Rondon and Perez seemed to do pretty well tbf - Almiron did however seem to score more goals and assist more despite having a forward in front of him who genuinely did have two left feet. Fair play to Bruce for getting a turn out of Almiron last season and down with the once great Spaniard who couldn't the season before.
 
Benitez - relegated. Before the vermin jump on this as has been well documented on here he was in a more than salvageable position when he took over with all of the shite at the bottom end (including us) still to play). He then achieved a 10th and a 13th. Cup record f***ing appalling. Record v top 6 absolute twatful.

Bruce - 13th and currently 13th again with a game in hand which if he wins will have the thick bastards 1 point off 10th. Cup record very good - quarter finals in both main cups. Record v top 6 pretty decent.

Benitez is lauded as a God.
Bruce is a ‘cabbage heed’ who they want chased out of the club back to wherever he came from which the thick bastards believe to be Wallsend.

Remember, they’re not deluded though. 🤔
 
Imagine being angry at being 12th in the Prem with a team that were overpriced and shite when Rafa brought them in. Not long ago they were a championship club, their delusions that they deserve to be this big club they think they are get worse every year.
 
The pathetic way he carried on, after getting sacked here, really pissed me off.
There was hardly a day went by, when the cushion faced twat, wasn't on some local or national sports radio station, bemoaning how his Geordie roots, meant he could never be fully accepted as Sunland manager, and how, from Day 1, he was systematically hounded out, by sections of our fans.
He, of course, has many friends in the media, who, at the merest hint of any criticism of Bruce, turn out in force, to tell the watching & listening world, what a great job he's doing in extremely difficult circumstances, and how unfair and unjust it is, that the unreasonable & unrealistic fans, are getting on his back.
He's a tuppence ha'penny manager, who never seems to accept responsibility for his failings, nor does he seem to understand, that football is a results driven business.
He's been around football long enough to know, a continued run of poor performances or bad results, will ultimately result in the sack.
 
But they are 12th, and the way their hysterical fans went on about lack of investment and they were doomed to relegation surely suggests he has worked miracles with the resources to hand.

Tbh this constant recycling of mag hysteria as soon as things don't go their way is extremely boring.

Also saw a comparison with Villa and why can't they do the same as Villa have done... This is the Villa that nearly got relegated last season.
