"Football is a game of two halves" and there endeth the Steve Bruce masterclass in tactics

To be fair it was when deliveroo dropped off the steak bakes

Maybe Steve wants to be the only Geordie in the stadium <laugh> With Hendrick out maybe Matty L to come in to the midfield? I'd prefer a three of MLongstaff, Willock and Hayden , with the latter in the preferred deeper role. Understandably with our injury problems, Hayden may play at the centre of ...

Bruce banished him to the stands for Palace <laugh> Noteworthy that our two best games have had him on the sideline. After our game against Everton, you could see Jones go up and hug Wilson and celebrate with him. At one point during the game today (maybe when Wilson was injured and getting treatme...

Yedlin on his way to Turkey, frees up a squad place.

Having medical now.
Linked with Lukas Lerager would take him over Choudhury.

The bloke at Swansea is only 6/1 in the betting Cooper would be a good choice imo. Likes to possession football and be brave in attack, have been on coaching courses with him too a really top bloke who knows his football. At least we'd have a choice of keeping Woodman if he was manager will be a sa...

What do we think? Dust worselves down, roll wor sleeves up, go again?

"Look, I’m not going to try to make an excuse…but "

Steve Bruce needs players. You are only as good as your players and I feel harsh for saying that about the Newcastle players but he can only work with what he has got. Bruce has tried tonight; he has tried something different, different shapes but he needs players and investment - and he hasn't had...

Never want to see Ritchie play for us again. Murphy right and Miggy left would do.

Bruce using the Mrs Doyle style management

Darlow's distribution has been shocking tonight!

Always been his weak point.

So has Bruce forgotten to take the gloves off ?

He might be needed in goal in the second half so they stay on

Next 3 games postponed due to Covid outbreak. As soon as our game with Villa was in question they were falling over themselves wanting points deductions for us. At this stage, the EFL haven't even granted them permission to postpone the games, Sunderland have just told them they won't be playing th...

Hope everyone is doing well! Been lurking a bit recently, re-read some of the goldmine stuff, when I re-read the time QWOP broke his laptop with Tuna Juice/Oil I was in hysterics <laugh> <awe> Kingo <love> Hope all is good with you and yeah those goldmine threads are well worth another look. Shame ...

Ha I’m happy drinking at home too for the reasons above <laugh> If I do go out drinking it tends to be between 12-6 where it’s more chilled before all the tossers come out for their nighttime binge. I'm exactly the same. If I go out with the missus, we'll get out for lunchtime and head back late af...

Flat earth?!

Poor old guy, he's reached his end. Time to put him in a home.

Care homes are expensive, walk into the woods, shovel across the back of the head, job done.

Make sure to get him to dig the hole as the ground can be a bit hard this time of year.
