"I have no problems with fans expressing their opinions," he said. "But one or two had a go pretty much towards myself - and that's something I won't tolerate."

Keane said himself that he was picking out one or two fans who were having a go at him, not having a go at the entire fanbase like Bruce did you utter knacker.

The theme of the post was Bruce talking about how his roots were a negative why would you need to bring up a positive piece when this totally counters your whole argument?[DOUBLEPOST=1394204976][/DOUBLEPOST]

Bruce nrver had a go at whole fan base you bell end he was putting a perspective on expectations. Keane was spitting dummy out over a handful of fans having a pop.Imagine if he got what Bruce did? Doesn't even beat thinking about.
By the way that just proves my whole point really as if that piece was about Bruce you would have most certainly used it as another nail to put in coffin but good old Roy (who really is a tosser by the way) can say what he likes! Very poor really.[DOUBLEPOST=1394205017][/DOUBLEPOST]

I'm pretty sure when Bruce looks at his medals he can have a wry smile about one shit game at the arse end of his career!

"Here, what is it, apart from big support and everybody getting their knickers in a twist?"

"There is the expectation here of a huge, huge club. It resembles a club which has won the Champions League or the Premier League or the FA Cup, like an Arsenal, a Man United, a Chelsea, a Liverpool. We have a similar expectation here."

"There is a huge expectation, bigger than it ever should be."

Just a few quotes from his time here, if those aren't digs and criticisms of the fans, then what are they?

I would say since he's left there has been a much better acceptance of our place in pecking order to be honest.
We have had unrealistic expectations in past. I remember finishing 7th under Reidy twice and still not being good enough amongst the supporters. Obviously time has healed a lot of those wounds but after Bruce I'd say reidy has had the most stick from the fans and both been our most successful managers in last 50 year.

One of my relatives was there and reckons that was the greatest away performance in 40 years following the lads.

He thought Bridges was going to be a star for England , which he possibly would have been if not for injuries.

Here we go again with the shit Steve Bruce craic.
Why don't our fans just accept they don't like him because he was a mag and be done with it? It's crystal clear the reasons behind the bitterness.
The bloke done a decent ebough job here to a point and certainly no worse than keane and oneil who basically walked away without even a murmur from the crowd in regards wanting then out.
Then again oneil was apparently a sunderland fan who worshipped Charlie Hurley so that was ok!
And before we start with the usual we dislike him because he claims to have been sacked for being a Geordie the "fat Geordie c@nt get out of our club" chants started before he got the bullet so that can't be used as an excuse.
Next line is usually "we have a statue of a Geordie outside our ground".Difference being he was a successful one so again that's fine.
No one can doubt our fans will give anybody a chance regardless of where there from but can't dispute minute it goes wrong the whole Newcastle thing will rear its head.
As for Bruce going on about finishing tenth,sacked for being a Geordie etc (he never said that either just that it didn't help) all he is doing is answering questions put to him unlike that complete buffoon di canio who arranged an interview to vent his spleen and played an almighty shithouse trick on oshea during it! Again not nearly as much vitriol aimed at him despite it being much much worse.Then again he isn't a mag though! :)

PDC is a grade A wanker, always has been always will be. IMO far worse than the fat mrs doubtfire , should never have been hired- but PDC humiliated the mags in their own pigsty, whilst witha far superior squad to the mags Bruce manages to get a skelping of epic proportions & pretends aw well its ok.

Bruce PDC ONeil all wankers good riddance

Greatest away showing I've ever seen happened to be under Bruce actually.3-0 at Chelsea absolutely outstanding and not a fat Geordie b@stard chant in sight! Funny that ! :-)

I can't help but like Bruce and oneil to be honest. Seem decent blokes who it just didn't work out for here. PDC is an absoloute c@ck of highest order.Honestly that interview he set up was an utter disgrace and a million times more damaging than anything Bruce ever said.[DOUBLEPOST=1394206347][/DOUBLEPOST]
