We have to change manager now or we’re gone. I can’t see us getting more than 3 points from the remaining games otherwise

We are probably gone already. The change should have been made ahead of the winnable and must-win games.

 I can’t see us picked enough points in the remote fixtures as I do think that Fulham will come up with the odd good result themselves even though they have a even more difficult run of games.

[TheGingerQuiff 2412]

I mean given the fact that any self respecting manager will have already blocked Charnleys number, I would personally try and get Nolan to do a firefighting job. He can unite a dressing room and would probably stick Carroll in and play to his strengths. Which would be a significant upgrade on whatever the fuck our current gameplan is

I reckon fulham will pick up more points in their next four games than we will in our next five.

by the time we're playing leicester and man city  they'll be probably be playing an already safe burnley and southampton.

we're fucked.

[Dr Gloom 19824]

If we get rid of the cabbage and we get ASM and Wilson back sooner rather than later, we might be alright. Our current course is destination relegation, no doubt about that. 

[TheGingerQuiff 2412]

Chances of even one of them staying fit is slim, let alone both

[trooper 940]

While I agree 1,000% Bruce should be getting stick over the team. Ashley should be getting even more for his gross neglect of the club. 

[Ugly Mackems 133]

Relegation removes the PL from the takeover process. 

 

Clutching at straws - likely! 

 

But can't think of a single reason as to why Bruce isn't (already) peddled. 

[TheGingerQuiff 2412]

A £100m loophole?

[Alex 30396]

I’m just happy we’ve got him instead of Benitez tbh

[TheGingerQuiff 2412]

He's succeeded in making us less defensive minded tbh. And less attacking minded at the same time. Some achievement.

The real tin foil hat theory is that Ashley thinks he'll also be able to recoup the lost value on the club because of relegation from the Premier League, given they, supposedly, illegally stopped the sale to the Saudi's. But the aforementioned of course is clutching at the entirety of the US agricultural output of straw.

In our last 20 games, we’ve won 2, drawn 5, lost 13, scored 14 goals, and conceded 35. It’s interesting that some people are still saying Newcastle fans expect too much, I wonder just how fucking appallingly bad we need to be before it would be acceptable for the fans to be pissed off. It’s passed being a tired cliche at this point, it’s almost people going out of their way to just be absurdly wrong about the topic at hand.

Were you watching the match on sky last night? One of the commentators actually said we'd be happier in the bottom three than where we are now if played more attractive football 😐 The level of ignorance is astonishing. Either that or these so called experts are just making obviously counter factual statements to generate anger clicks for want of a better phrase. Then again I shouldn't attribute to malice what I easily attribute to incompetence. Obviously there's little point in talking about Merson's recent comments, he's obviously long fried his brain with all the booze and coke, not that he was likely ever a contender for the brain of Britain. At least Stelling pretty much apologised on twitter. Those Newcastle fans love to be entertained was another gem, as if other football fans aren't bothered if their team plays like shite.

[Rayvin 4964]

Anyone have Caulkin's piece on this? Or do we not catch those now he's with the Athletic?

Watching Manquillo run slower than most people walk was entertaining

And he was still twice as quick as Shelvey or Hendricks,

BTW he should never have let his player go inside but also the complete lack of a midfield which should have been there to easily cover is just as criminal.
