Newcastle United Thread - 2021/22

Away at Palace next weekend. Not easy, by any means.

Then Chelsea at home.

Could be some way adrift by Christmas.

This is an amazing example of how the media distorts the views of their favourites.



He's a self confessed Newcastle fan now he's managing Newcastle. What did he say before he was Newcastle manager?

"Managing Newcastle has never been my dream."



This is laughably not true. Only 7 clubs have spent more than Newcastle under Bruce. £160m net spend over the last 2 years! Under Rafa they had the lowest spend in the league, since Rafa has gone, they've spent loads.




Steve Bruce is a massive prick, and the only club he's managed where he's thought of fondly is Hull City - and he's not exactly a hero there.

Read up on how he treated Sheffield Wednesday if you think he's a great bloke. He joined them, immediately decided he couldn't do the job because he had to recover from surgeries (which happened before he took the job) went on a 6 week paid holiday, which the Wednesday owner gave him willingly because he's either very nice or gullible, and then on his return immediately dumped them as soon as a Premier League club came calling.

He also tried to claim he had no love for Birmingham when he became Villa manager, so turned the only fans who'd ever liked him against him.

As a manager he's done 1/3rd the job with 3x the money as Benitez and it's genuinely incredible that he convinced Ashley to give him an £8m severance even with Ashley knowing he'd never have to pay it himself.

Read my post again. I never said he's a great bloke, in fact I said I'm no fan of his. I was also discussing his time at Newcastle, not Wednesday or Hull etc. You have your opinion, and that's fine.

He shafted Wednesday big time which probably led to the shit there in now all to join his family the same family that cannot do with him

sod him he deserves all he gets

Norwich /Ipswich
Villa/ Brum
United / Wednesday
Newcastle / Sunderland

had connections with either club who all hate each other

the mans loyalty is laughable

Bruce has always come across as ok to me.

How they f*** did all of those Saudis get a sold out match ticket?

Rafa must have shot straight back up to Newcastle after the Everton V West Ham match.

I like the bloke next to "Rafa" facing the wrong way and wondering what all the fuss is about,also the bald guy top right chancing a cheeky snog off that blonde.

I'm no fan of Steve Bruce but the way the Toon fans have treated him is a disgrace. He's a self confessed Newcastle fan from childhood, had little financial backing from Ashley and appears to have done his best under difficult circumstances. No excuse for all that booing at the final whistle today. The players did their best but the squad is championship material. TBF they made Spuds look like world beaters and that's down to Ashley, not Bruce. Its gonna be a long hard road for the so called richest club on the planet. Let's see how many marquee signings they make when they're rooted in the relegation zone in January.

Utter nonsense. He’s another ex-rag that has been gifted a managerial career by the media.

Geordie sharia.

I think they wear it for the same reason as many blues did in 2008.

They're stuck in a time warp?

I did read your post. You said he didn't deserve this treatment and I pointed out just a few of the many reasons he does, while also pointing out plenty of your reasoning is based on lies he's put out in the press about being a lifelong toon fan and getting no money.
