I like they way they keep banging on about there being plenty of fuel. Undoubtedly there is but the problem is transporting it

Looks like Schnapps will be told to sod off. This from The Mirror ... The drivers who he hopes to attract say the Government’s offer is not tempting. Imran Mustafa, 32, who lives in Barcelona, said: “I would move but not for three months. “It’s not enough time as we don’t know the roads, the maps or how it all works. “...French people, German people, Spanish people, they’re already earning a lot of money, so why would they move to the UK for three months only on a temporary visa?” HGV driver Mehmet Ozalp, 28, from Turkey, recently relocated to live in Germany. He added: “I would only move for at least six months and above. “If you’re moving thousands of kilometres, it shouldn’t be just for three months.

Just reading about your bother Mr Fist. I'm sorry mate. Its fucking awful to think he could even be considered for release. I hope they fuck him off back to his cell forever

If this carries on for another couple of days everything will start grinding to a halt

Well this has escalated. Sainsburys in Cramlington have no petrol neither do BP & Shell at Annitsford. Co op garage must have some but the queues are ridiculous

Pictured wearing a protective boot during the week. I doubt he'll have done any training

Just think if this keeps going with the petrol. Boris will be stealthly putting the country in Lockdown

At that rate it'll only take about 6 years to fill the shortfall

This from BBC 25 minutes ago The Road Haulage Association estimated the UK is short of about 100,000 HGV drivers - with existing shortages made worse by a number of factors, including the pandemic and Brexit. It is understood that about 5,000 temporary visas could be issued. Its still a massive short fall of drivers even if all 5,000 are employed

Aye we can't expect him to make things happen overnight. He should nowhere near a Premiership Club.

Old fashioned 3 o clock Saturday kick off. Probably be 3-0 there'll be mild groans from the Newcastle fans. No doubt we'll here "Brucey give us a wave" 😒

He's not going anywhere yet seems like Ashley's happy to stick with him ... Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley is not set to take any immediate action when it comes to the managerial situation at St James' Park - regardless of what happens in the next couple of games. Head coach Steve Bruce heads to Watford this weekend without a win to his name this season before an equally testing clash at Wolverhampton Wanderers a week later to take us up to the next international break. However, Chroniclelive understands that once again Ashley is prepared to give Bruce and his coaching team time to turn things around. And like last season the club's hierarchy may only consider changing their stance if Newcastle become cut adrift in the relegation zone going into the winter period.

Bruce spent four nights in Portugal during the international break and returned last Monday. Sportsmail understands some players reported for training that day expecting a morning session, only to be told Bruce was not arriving back from holiday until the afternoon. The club say this was always the plan. But a source said: ‘You’ve got players waiting hours at the training ground and some staff didn’t even know what was going on. They also turned up at training the previous Thursday only to be told Bruce had gone on holiday. They just did a gym session. They weren’t impressed. ‘Then on Monday of this week they did not train until tea-time. Players like structure, routine. But they feel like the team’s schedule is designed to suit the manager, not them.’ Some also noted a press report this week that goalkeeper Freddie Woodman would be dropped for Friday’s game. The players know which journalists are close to Bruce and some suspected this had come from the manager before he had told them, much like they did last season when a report stating Karl Darlow would be dropped caused huge irritation behind the scenes.

Things are heating up for Brucey The report reveals that there was a meeting called by Steve Bruce on Tuesday, where he angered some players with what they believed was a ‘misguided use of running statistics’, whilst also claimed that there’s a feeling within the squad that the training schedule is designed to suit Steve Bruce rather than the playing squad. Whether that is a reference to Steve Bruce to heading off to Portugal instead of training in the first week of the international break, who knows? The Mail saying the reaction from players to the Head Coach was “What is he on about?” The Mail then go on to detail a ‘Training ground showdown’ between Dwight Gayle and Graeme Jones. Jamaal Lascelles said to have split the pair up when Dwight Gayle had made clear how unhappy he was at not getting a single minute of Premier League football this season, The Mail quoting a source who said the NUFC Coach told the striker, “It’s always about you, Gayley,” and the 31 year old forward replied, “It’s been all about you since you’ve been with England.”

Few years ago Liverpool said they were increasing ticket prices. Fans got together & were going to boycott Anfield. The club got wind of it & backtracked. Last season Man Utd fans got the live Liverpool game called off in protest about the ownership. This season Ronaldo playing for them. The point im making is the fans hold a lot of power.

I doubt they'll care even less

He just said this in the press conference. He obviously doesn't know his job title "If you don't get results then ultimately the manager, head coach, whatever I am, bears the brunt"

Been said 1,000s of times the only way to make an effective protest is stay out of the ground. Ashley won't mind you paying him to go into SJP & sing nasty songs about him & throw paper airplanes. In fact he'll lap it up.

Paper plane protest apparently https://www.themag.co.uk/2021/09/newcastle-united-fans-group-announce-details-of-protests-for-newcastle-v-leeds-match/
