15 years man and boy. Hardest game there is....

Yes @Ants, like he said. And congrats too

Arguably people get the pundits they deserve, in football at least. I suppose these are the people that the average fan would want to stand beside in the pub while they watch a match on the telly (however Sky figure that out). Personally I would want to bring a bottle down on the head of Merson. Followed by several extravagant kicks to the testicles.

I take my hat off to anyone who’s sat through this match. Just the stats - 38% possession, one shot on goal - indicate why NUFC under Ashley are such a joyless waste of time. Everything about the club including Bruce says mediocrity and boredom. It’s impossible to muster a single fuck about, well, anything. We’re now at the Lonsdale/Slazenger end of the spectrum that everyone predicted would happen under Ashley’s ownership. He’s fucked NUFC brand to the point where we’re completely hollowed out. Does anyone give a fuck from one week to the next about the football? Or what Kieron Dyer has to say? Or what Bruce’s plans are for the team, or who we’re going to sign next season? Take away the annual relegation drama and there’s very little of any interest. It’s all so boring. Bruce is the perfect manager for Ashley’s NUFC, wittering on in that strange high pitched voice about how nothing’s his fault and what a great job he’s done. Whatever Steve.

Exactly. Maybe English footballers don’t generally have enough grey matter to make top managers. Although generally I don’t like to generalise.

There might be an undercurrent of jingoism about this ‘Bruce is better than Benitez’ patter. It’s been a constant theme with pundits that you should give British managers preference, especially with the England job. Worked well with Allardyce.

The best you can say for Bruce is that he’s utterly mediocre. It’s hardly a vindication for Bruce’s supporters that he’s taken us from a mediocre position last year to a mediocre position this year. His record shows that’s all he’s capable of at his best. At his worst he will get us relegated. Unless you think we don’t deserve any better then I don’t know why anyone would want another year of Bruce.

And the fact they’re fucking shit

Bruce is the right manager for the club under the current regime. I’ve always despised him, and look forward to him being swiftly replaced if we ever escape Ashley’s sweaty paws.

he sounds like a lunatic talking to himself in his padded cell

Ok I’m out

Yes all the best

Aussie lawyers are totally different, obviously * whistles *

Btw nobody should be surprised this is all taking a very long time. It’s not because of politics, the Saudis, tv piracy, ethical considerations, COVID 19 or whatever. It’s because it’s all in the hands of lawyers - who are without exception massive time wasting, arrogant, reality oblivious cunts.

Dear oh dear, “Nobby and Sonny”. Just when you think RTG can’t get any weirder or more embarrassing, one of them craps out something like that drivel I expect in real life Nobby is what the OP sticks into his Sonny’s rear end when he gets back from the pub.

I may be remembering this wrong but didnt Bruce destabilise us by abandoning Rafas system and then stabilise us by going back to it? And even then we only ground out some results thru massive amounts of luck

Fucking hell. Mind you Bruce looks like he’s from Royston Vasey....

A great exporting nation

* snore *

It means fuck all imo that it’s taking a long time, other than the PL doesn’t have enough lawyers. No doubt they’ve been otherwise engaged with Project Restart and related issues. The waiting is tedious though, as is the steady drip of anti toon stories.

Those eyebrows

Me too. My interest died about 11 or 12 years ago, all this has done is give the corpse a jolt or two

Is that Turki on wry? I’ll get me coat

I thought it was a delightful read

Presumably the longer they take the better it looks. Like they really gave it proper consideration given the objections raised. That’s what I’d do even if I intended to approve the deal.
