Talk of him bringing in some shitty coach to strengthen Bruce's staff. Don't he's going anywhere sadly.

Based on demeanor id say he has been told 2 or 3 games. As long as he manages football clubs he will never face the wrath of when wigan scored that goal against us and the SOL went beserk. Scarred him for life.

Said few weeks ago when Allardyce was employed that it was Fulham and Brighton they had to worry about cos sheff u and WBA down . Never thought Burnley would go. Those two teams have got wins in them though .

Wba will stay up. Fulham will get a new biss, see RAFA. Brighton will go down with sufc and sheff utd.

Not following the logic here. You are likely in the bottom quartile based on salaries. Bar a few anomalies there is a decent relationship between salaries paid and league position. The level of entertainment is pretty much proportional to the salary level. Blame the Premier League for paying 100m just to cling on.

I'm asking for entertainment. Having a go. I think the players are paid more than enough to provide that and should be of sufficient quality to be able to provide it, earning that kind of money.

And you're talking a level of entertainment. I'm simply asking for entertainment.
I see championship clubs...league one clubs...league two clubs and even non league clubs that provide entertainment and have a go.

Isn't this just groundhog Day for most of their seasons? Go on a run, grab points, play awful football and the natives start howling. We all look ahead at the fixture list and agree they might get say 3 points from their next 9 matches, then they go and beat Chelsea or Man It's and bag a couple of draws.... Before you know it, 10+ points ahead of the drop again and things go back to normal.

I'm enjoying the meltdown to he fair, but I don't think they will be close to going down for the above reasons.

Dunno feels different this time. They're fragile, can't score and concede easily. They lack a leader on the pitch too. Brighton and Fulham are way stronger on recent performances.
Make no bones about it, they are in trouble.

What a clip. He needs to get some birds on his wall rather than newcastle shirts, might help his mood
Pmsl. Wondered how long Rafa and net spend would be mentioned

Tell you what these need to be well clear before the last six games. That run in👀

We have left it too late to replace Bruce. He should have gone before the Sheff Utd game giving us a chance to get something from Sheff Utd, Aston Villa and Leeds. Sadly we will finish that run with 0 points and that's not acceptable. The slide can't be halted now.

I will get over it, like I do, always.

I don't expect to be anywhere. What I do expect is to be entertained in a manner that befits a club that pays players lots of money to do that.
I don't see much entertainment out of years.
I'm down to trying to pick bones out of Rafa's garbage football and Steve Bruce's.

If we got relegated by really having a go, I'd be disappointed but I would be of the mind that we tried and I was entertained.
As for stumping up a lot of cash. That's not the issue. The club have stumped up a lot of cash for players, it's the coaching of those players that requires serious investment of knowledge, skill, time and patience to get a balance with players being used for best purpose.

I backed Bruce to balance it all up and it appeared like he was going to do that, then he reverts right back to all hands to the pump trying to pump out the inrush.

I'm bored of it and want him sacked. I'll be gutted if he's still in charge against Leeds.

Prepare to be gutted then. We play them on Tuesday night. No way will the club act quickly. He will still be in charge against Everton as well.
 
What A Waster said:
Said on here after the Brentford game that we'd lose 7 out of our next 8. That was up to and including the Everton match. The only game we've avoided defeat in so far has been Liverpool. Still looking like we'll lose 7 of those 8, but I thought we'd probably get something against Sheffield.

After Everton, we play Palace. Then a run of games where it is 4 defeats again - Southampton, Chelsea, Man U, Wolves.
At the end of April there's another 5 game run of defeats - west ham, Liverpool, Arsenal, Leicester, Man City.
Be surprised if we get 30 points this season if they don't sack Bruce.

I think you’ll struggle to get many more than 30 even if you sack him. You’re squad isn’t great and you’ve lost the slight advantage that playing in front of 253,739 screaming geordies normally gives. Unfortunately there’s no chance of you going down as I can’t see how Fulham or West Brom will get more than 25.

No in pain from laughing at what a state we are in all self inflicted by the owner as well. Incredible. Who’d have thought appointing a wanker like Bruce would lead to a mess like this. The players clearly don’t want to play for him or be out on the pitch that was obvious and we are BANG in trouble @Ale taster

worst owner and manager combo in the league leading to this mess what a shock

I know what you're saying but I can't see them beating anyone even by fluke.
actually the Leeds game is their only chance as they're a bit up and down. Man U hammered them once already and will do so again.
