Kid Dynamite

NZ have got to be gutted like. That step on the boundary rope and the throw off Stokes bat cost them 10 runs in the last 3 overs Great nerve for that last ball field, throw, catch and stumping with a second to spare

At least the horror of Bruce has given BZG mentions a rest on Twitter. It's clearly dead in the water if we are paying compo for him

Moyes maybe, but that's harsh on Hughton

It's ludicrous like. Gerrard Arteta Martinez Viera were the 4 early favourites. None as exciting as keeping Rafa but they wouldn't have been a disaster. We decide to pick from the old school British manager stable. Redknapp Bruce Pulis Pardew Hughes Mclaren Allardyce We've had 3 of the fuckers and they were all shite. Can't believe we are hiring number 4. They all remind me of that scene in premier passions where Peter Reid gives a half time teamtalk and doesn't mention tactics once. Lots of shouting and swearing and "fucking get into them!". Might have worked in 1995 but we are a quarter of a century past that FFS

As if we are paying £5mil to install a championship manager. There must a shit load of young progressive managers in Germany, Spain, Italy, Holland, France we could get for that much who would jump at the chance to move to the Premier league.

Well it's over to the fans now. Best manager in years replaced by Steve Bruce. At any other club the pressure would be ramped up until Ashleys position became untenable. The West Ham owners were nearly lynched. We will have 40k+ there all season

He was oin Talksport all morning talking about it. I assume there is some truth in it amazingly

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7234147/Newcastle-make-shock-offer-former-boss-Sam-Allardyce-snubs-Toon.html Surely that can't be true. We'd have about 20k at games next season

I'm surprised he hasn't blocked you. I called him bald and he got really arsey with me, claiming he shaves his head but has a full head of hair. I replied with " " and I've been blocked ever since the baldy twat

Twitter is currently 50/50 on today definitely being the day we are sold to a rich Sheikh OR Steve Bruce definitely being our next manager

Some knacker has deleted all his old tweets and rebranded his account

4 weeks of the window left. No manager No new players 3 strikers sold Diame, Kenedy, Perez, Joselu, Rondon (and likely Hayden & Longstaff) replaced by Colback, Aarons, Saivet, Gayle and Lazaar. Even by Ashley's standards this is kamikaze. I keep thinking that a takeover MUST be imminent. What other explanation is there? He knows how much the club loses through relegation, and if there's one thing Ashley cares about its money. He's got away with in twice. I'm not sure we will do it a 3rd time

Saivet back in training with Colback too. Along with Lazaar and Aarons. Things are looking rosy

This Barber is ITK

I need a break off here I reckon

I just find the trend to rip the piss out of absolutely everything a bit boring now. Lads dancing in their back garden. So fuck? There was load of grown fellas on here last week ripping the piss out of someone for wearing a tracksuit on a sunny day. I'm sure half of you are closet Tories these days

You're a miserable cunt these days mind.

Who are you again? If people are trying to paint me as some sort of Ashley apologist then you only need to read the last months worth of my posts. Rafa the best manager we've had in a long time, but he's not infallible

May have If he had Probably Behave man

That's far fetched.

So it was a catch 22. Ashley's fault ultimately but the extension talks were destined to fail before they started.

Again, not every player Rafa signed was shite. Most were good. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. But Rafa asking Ashley to OK him buying who he wants with £50-100mil and potentially leaving in 9 months was never going to happen with zero oversight.

The high expressed emotion in here clearly isn't ready for a sensible discussion on this No, Ashley isn't qualified from a footballing sense to overrule Rafa. But he owns the club, so he does what he wants basically

Joselu was clearly a bargain basement buy, but Sels and Jacob Murphy? £20mil between them? My point is, I can half understand why Ashley wanted a final say in transfers if Rafa was only willing to sign a 12month contract. Even though clearly Rafa only wanted to sign a 12month contract because of how horrendous it must be working for Ashley.
