You know you’re having a bad day when Danny Welbeck nets against you.

I see Barkley’s pinged his hammy, last time he did that was with us, and he was out for nearly a year.
 
Howe would be one extreme to the other. Would suddenly see better football but not be able to defend. Can see why it's preferable but don't think he'd improve them drastically points total wise.
Exactly. Howe’s sides can’t defend for ****. Albeit he could have a Bob Martin type first season at Everton, with them, as the defensive drilling is already there, and it’d take a season to wear off.

My personal choice for them would be Pulis.

We can't defend now.

Do you watch us?
 
I picked all candidates under the evaluation they would take the job for different reasons.

Newcastle, in terms of size, spending cabilities and fanbase is bigger than Bournemouth. The spending mentality at Newcastle has changed since the last window of the Rafa era, we haven't looked to sell our players and have signed up improvements.

For a young manager its a challenging job, but it has its rewards. If he does well his stock will increase a lot. Look at Pardew ffs, man was talked about for England at a few points.

I don't give a **** what any pundit or opposing fan says about us, if they seriously think we're too harsh on Bruce, I offer him to you. Lets see how those fanbases enjoy it.
Bruce was an incredibly unambitious appointment. Fairly safe, but utterly dull and short-term.
Howe would be slightly more risky, but a lot more interesting and entertaining.

We don't defend.

Our goalkeepers save more shots than any other keepers in the league.

We have a negative goal difference of -5.

And as you only want the worst for us, I'm sure you'd suggest Pulis.

.

You can see why Ashley wanted a low risk option as he's had plans to sell, so it makes sense in that respect. But yeah it's totally uninspiring for the fans.

We aren't going to be sold, if the takeover happened when it was meant too, I reckon he would have left in a good position.

Unfortunately for all parties, he has been forced to remain longer than expected and we just aren't performing.
 
Bitter?

About what mate?

Have a good cry and let it all out mate, I’m here for you bro.

Ye whinin cos we beat you and we're ****. That's a fact.

Bruce even outsmarted ye Don.

Anyway we're done now
