    Been out for the afternoon, bit of business to sort out, came home with fish and chips, jumbo for Osca, no a battered one from the chippy, ready for a night of football and not606.

    All I can see are Titus and Newcastle fans with their words of wisdom so what to do.

    October starts with WBA on Saturday then 2 away games then Villa at home, that’s all I’m looking at, everything else is not for me.

    Its simple in my little head, get it right, that’s Bruce, the players and us fans, get it right and we should be in the top half of the table, pressure off Bruce, for now, Titus, Titus who and a January transfer window to look forward to.

    Get it wrong and Bruce will no longer be our manager to talk about, we will be in trouble and it will still be Titus, Titus who.

    So my advice, ignore the daft Newcastle lot, engage the sensible Newcastle lot, yes there are some and worry about Bruce on Saturday evening.

    We can do little to alter Bruce and the team, I think that by being positive we may help Bruce and the players mindset.

    Now, would you play Turner or Laing in place of what’s his name?

    Will Turner be fit?

    If not I can see O'Shea being moved into the centre with Elmo at right back

    if that happens I would go with...


    ------------------ Mignolet -----------------

    Elmohamady - O'Shea ---- Brown - Richardson

    Larsson --- Gardner ---- Vaughan - Sessegnon

    --------- Bendtner ------ Ji ------------------

    I dont know about Turner, fit yes but match fit, I doubt it. Would Laing not tempt you?

    Up top we must go 2 and Sess is not one of them, cant decide between Ji and Wickham so happy with either.

    Mind you, Brown and Oshea look a solid pairing

    Evening Syd. Hope the hound enjoys his sausage.

    Agree with the teams above, but would start Wickham before Ji. Lad looks sound on the ball to me.

    And importantly we will have to play either Wickham or Ji the week after, maybe both because we wont have Bendy. A full game on Saturday is vital

    Once again i say ffs its west brom, were at home. Put bendy, ji & connor on. Let a team worry about us for a change instead of brucie bigging every team up. go for the jugular and attack. his defensive tactic has failed miserably.

    I thought it was "innocent till proven guilty" in this country? Hopefully Titus will be available for selection and will get full support off the fans.

    True. Will we still play him until/if he's proven guilty?

    I find our transfer out policy baffling to say the least.

    We sold our best left back in Collins. Never replaced.

    We sold our best striker in Bent. Never replace, Bruce stunned.

    We sold our next best striker in Gyan. No chance of replacing until January, Bruce stunned.

    We sold Henderson for mega bucks. Bruce stunned.

    We have been promised money to replace Gyan just as we were to replace Bent ****.

    If the board are not telling the manager players are being sold then wtf is going on?

    I find this a strange way to run a business tbh.

    We all know Bruce has been ****ed over by 2 greedy bastards but I say bollocks that he didn't know those players were leaving & firmly believe that his daughters romance with Bent had a major part to play in that.

    Either Bruce or the board are telling fibs right?

    I have wandered a bit of topic here like.

    I like that team, especially against WBA - not sure if it would look so good if we were playing arsenal or Man U.


    If the fans get behind that team, and the players actually turn up I can see us scoring a few goals.

    For Bent, he handed his request in and left within 2 days. As for finding a replacement, how many PROVEN 20+ goals a season strikers would want to come here?

    Gyan agreement even surprised Quinn, if you still trust him (i do), according to his statement.

    Henderson? of course we accepted 20m for him and if i remember a lot of fans on here were saying he was **** at the time anyway...


    anyhow, lets keep it ontopic

    If Bramble's head is right leave it alone ..... could it be he had things on his mind on monday? not his best performance.

    Laing? If he plays at all this season, I think he will blood him at full back.

    As for the team against west brom, I am more concerned about the teams attitude. On monday there was no drive at all. I think Vaughan must be pencilled in first, a workhorse with a little craft and guile. I just wish we had a real leader playing alongside him. Gardner looked slow and never got into the game, not a leader. If the spirit and drive is there we will win, if not I fear a struggle again.

    Another concern from monday was Bruce. I have been an advocat of giving him time to get the players to gel and we should wait to the end of October before passing judgement on him. My concern was that his body language was anything but positive, he looked like a man desparate for a solution but with no idea of how to raise the spirits of the team. Something is not right!?

    Lets hope for good things saturday and KTF

    No need to Billy, we enjoy your thoughts but this is the wrong thread.

    I fully believe he had something on his mind on monday night. Something along the lines of sod this game i wanna go to Yarm and get me some pussy. Im not saying he is guilty mind as to me I think the female in question is a possibly underage prostitute (Yarm has a massive problem with this) who was caught in the act with old Titus and decided to play the damsel in distress and pin the drugs on Titus. I may be a million miles away from the truth but to me it fits the bill and if it is the case I believe the sexual assault charge will be dropped the class A drugs on the other hand may be more problematic for old Titus.

    He certainly aint the sharpest tool in the shed whatever the outcome from this is but until we know the facts we shouldnt judge.

    P.S I know its off topic but i dont give a 5hit.
