    Unfortunately him being sacked means if anything I've won the bet because it'll be Howe that's got us in the bottom 3 at Xmas

    I think Bruce is going to get the last laugh just like pardew did.

    I'll have one with you for Jan.

    You seem to think we will only spend £50m and I think we will spend more - we can even have a £25m grey zone where we call it a draw?

    I keep hearing the fans now saying the players are useless and that there's nothing Howe can do.... Erm hang on wasn't Bruce told by nufc fans he had a side that should be competing for top 10?

    Sorry but I'm just pointing out the facts..

    I think it depends on who will want to come. We can't sign top players so they'll likley build for a promotion push..50 million to 100 tops, not 50 million if we're dead and buried. And they'll not be particularly exciting signings

    So if we spend under £50m - you win £50m - £80m we call it a draw £81m + I win?

    We cannot weave **** from gold. Agreed. We must just hope for a point here or there and gut up till January; after that we can judge.

    If Fernandez and Schar had played more I'm certain we'd have more points on the board

    I agree lacelles will surely have been sniffed out now. If Howe fails to do that it's not a good sign

    I have always said as far as I remember that our squad is ****, was poorly put together and that only 1 signing in the summer was suicide. I do not blame the new owners or Steve Bruce for this in any way. I blame Ashley/Charnley/Nickson for this.

    However Bruce's lack of training ground work has hampered and worsened these players. Not one player he had has improved they've all regressed.

    We need an entire new team, and I very much doubt we can assemble that in Jan. I haven't quite chucked up the white flag for relegation but I believe we need at least 6 quality additions in Jan and find myself bemused at the names we're linked with. FFS there's a story now doing the rounds we've had discussions with Felix.

    Exactly this, it should be abundantly clear that its us against the world to these players and I don't think the majority of this squad have the mental fortitude for it. I hope and prey I'm wrong.

    We need Wilson booked on Thursday to miss Sunday so we stand any sort of chance against Man U. I'm wondering if he's walking on egg shells hoping to get to the turn of the year without a suspension and its hampering his overall performance.
