He's fucking clueless

Bottom of the table by Sunday teatime let's here his excuses then.

Remember this kid he's all grown up now He owns a couple of Steve Vai's famous guitars that Steve gave him the 1st ones on the Passion & Warfare cover The 2nd one featured in the video for Goin' Crazy by David Lee Roth when Vai was in his band I've recently got back in touch with Tom as I think I helped him a little bit on his journey. In August 1988 a couple of days before Donington i saw an advert saying something like Junior Jimi Hendrix play at The Percy Arms Newcastle. This intrigued me so I went along & saw this little kid playing an Ibanez Jem Floral he played Tobbaco Road bits of Euruption etc I was gobsmacked. I spoke to Tom's dad John during the interval & mentioned I was going to Donington Monsters Of Rock at the weekend. I said it was a shame they couldn't go & meet Steve Vai as I'm sure he'd be impressed. I'd only ever seen I Jem before & that was of Vai in Kerrang. It was an off the cuff remark. At the end of the night i took off my Van Halen t shirt & gave it to Tom telling him if your going to be a rock star you better start wearing t shirts like this. I wish them both well & navigated my way across Percy St to get the bus home. About 6 months later there was a documentary on BBC about guitar greats it featured Hendrix , Blackmore, Beck, Page etc. Then right at the very end they showed some footage of Tom playing at The Moira Arms in Donington. It wasnt until a few years later I found out what happened John drove Tom down to Donington managed to persuade the pub landlord to let Tom play that night. It just so happened that Vai's roadie was in the pub. He got John & Tom backstage the following day & were taken to Vai's caravan Tom plugged his guitar in started playing & Vai was blown away. The rest as they say is history Tom featured as "Little Stevie Vai" in the video for The audience Is Listening. After that Tom & Vai got some other talented youngsters together & formed a band Bad 4 Good they featured on MTV eventually Tom came back to the UK. He's now manager of a music shop in Newcastle & the last couple of years has taken up playing again. He very recently released an e.p. under the name McRoclin called Beginnings & in November support Dragonforce on their UK tour playing in Newcastle on the 14th I'm hoping to get along were me & Tom have decided to have a meet up.

Bruce's presser round up... Says some of the things written this week have been fabricated and “lies”. Took aim at Michael Chopra too. Does not intend to change formation, saying 3-5-2 did “very, very well” against Arsenal Argues Joelinton and Almiron need time - and says there are a lot of new players in the group Bruce says “ I know the only way I can shut people up is by winning games” Was “trying to protect” Sean Longstaff by dropping him last week, but has been “impressed” by him and brother Matty Bruce says “he knows” NUFC will have to play far better than they did last week to get a result at Spurs

My £10 Sky bet will be on the Spurs forwards getting shots on target

He'll probably just play a 5-5-0 formation.

Kane, Moura & Son scoring for fun

Could well be propping the table up this Sunday night after Spurs

Cheers Gloomy mate thanks for the information it's all helping. It looks like they've found a car park virtually across the road from where they're staying it's costing £60 for the 2 days.

No worries mate honestly you've been very helpful I really appreciate it thankyou

One more thing @Meenzer Miss T said do you know of any car parks close to the Travelodge mate

Cheers Meenz that's very helpful mate

Forgot to add they'll have to of the grandkids with them 6 & 9 cheers again

The kids are driving to London stopping overnight in Lesta. They're staying in Travelodges the one in London is at Southwark any reasonable priced places to eat around that area pubs cafes etc. Any places they should avoid thanks in advance. Steve aka Trooper

But Bruce said the 1st week of the season cups were priority. Having said that the 2nd week he's now said survival in the Premiership is priority.

Kid on N.O. reckons as of 10pm last night there just over 4,800 tickets sold

https://book.nufc.co.uk/en-GB/events/newcastle united -v- leicester city/2019-8-28_19.45/st james park?hallmap Despite adult tickets being £11 & Juniors & Seniors only £6 a quick check on the website shows there are absolutely thousands of tickets available

They're reporting he's got confidence issues now

A scan has shown there was no significant damage to the 23-year-old, with Bruce more worried about the harm done to the young striker’s confidence than his hip after he missed an easy header with the score at 0-0 in Norfolk. With that in mind, Newcastle’s coaching staff are trying to lift Joelinton’s spirits and are wary of seeing him lose confidence in the midst of the team’s early season struggles.

https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php Looks like NUFC will be playing Spurs with Muto as the lone striker

Good on ya if you got that

A few weeks ago most of the bookies had us down as mid table finishers. Now 2 games with Bruce in charge we have become favourites for relegation now.

What price did you get ?

Fixed it for you
