    He's got his media mates on board for a charm offensive again.

    The players are clearly back onside because they're running up and hugging him. I think Bruce's merely told the truth.. Thee things happen, but unfortunately nufc has a trouble maker in the form of Craig hope.

    Craig hope is arsehole imo

    My expectations are simple.

    I want a club and manager I can be proud of, who conduct themselves well on and off the pitch and set an example.

    I also agree with this (I was jsut out of shot on the left here btw).

    We'll never win a thing in my lifetime. I am resigned to that but I want to go to SJP thinking that my team will at least 'have a go' and that we have a chance of maybe winning a match.

    I'm just tired of it all. I'm tired of the rubbish managers, I'm tired of net spend numbers, I'm tired of the abysmal way this club is run, I'm just tired of Mike Ashley's disgusting ownership.

    It's so wearing, so draining, I genuinely can't be bothered next season if it's the same owner. Every match, every comment, every second of being a fan spun into negatives by either us or the media, the backdrop of Ashley being such an abhorrent man, having such barrel-scraped managers, looking at pisspot players or loanees, no pride, no ambition, I'm just done with it all til Ashley's gone.

    This is actually the truth

    The problem isn't Bruce.

    I don't think there even an issue with Bruce and Jones.

    It's worked perfectly and doesn't need to change unless the new manager is a top coach which isn't going to happen unless the Saudis by some miracle prove that state provided fund isn't connected to the state.

    There's an online campaign to get fans to sing Rafa, Rafa Benitez for the full 90 mins to try and rattle Bruce.

    I have made my points. They are all valid. I’m sighing because like Roland I’m drained of it all.

    How is avoiding relelgation and being close to the bottom of all stats charts a successful season?

    He hasn't had any pressure from fans as there haven't been any fans in the grounds, true pressure would be 30k fans on his back every week and letting him be known that he's a twat.

    Good grief. Bruce is well aware he's not liked, but this is just sad.

    It's basically like your decent girlfriend dumped you because you have a disgusting loser of a mate, but rather than do something about the idiot friend you beg for her to come back and just put up with him.

    Fans are truly stupid. If you really, really must go to a Newcastle game (I firmly believe nobody should, til Ashley's gone), then have a beer, a pie and enjoy whatever you can. But don't go to "boo" - sociopathic ****ers like Ashley get off on booing, it just makes the fans look as thick as they are.

    Because we've been relegated twice and only finished in the top 10 twice in 15 years.

    Pardew 5th and he got the same **** tbh

    He's done aswel as rafa pretty much

    13th and lseound that this time I suspect.

    Exactly.

    It's going to be embarrassing, the media will tell them as much and they'll then abuse pundits on twitter and wonder why they don't like us

    We finished 10th and 13th under Rafa, in the 2nd half of Rafas last season here, we were in top 8 form, we are 13th and 16th (so far) under Bruce, that's a downward spiral.

    With the spend that Bruce has had, we should be aiming for higher than 13th. Anything below that has to be seen as a disappointing season.

    Bruce has now had a team that has spent nearly 4 seasons in the Premier league, that is classed as established, we should be pushing on and breaking the top 10, in search of European football. Not facing relelgation.

    You mention Villa. The reality is this Villas 2nd season back in the premier league, this is our 4th. Villa are currently 5 places above us. We have spent enough money to push on, Rafa left us with a great spine of which to build, there's no excuses.

    This is Leeds 1st season back in the premier league, they are 6 places above us, playing score 1 more goal than you football, Leeds fans are on Bielsas back for his brand of football and they are scared shirtless every week, that they will lose instead of scraping wins. They are doing better than us, yet Bruce shouldn't be criticised?
