    You must have forgotten about Chelsea during our takeover 18 years ago.

    We had half the media calling us Chelski, another half claiming we ruined football and The S*n put out a £1,000 reward for the first player to score against us in the 2005/06 season.

    If by that you mean :
    A takeover lasting nearly 18 months where the league tried every trick in the book to stop it and was only passed when they knew all their dirty tricks would come out in a court case
    The so called big 6 lobbying the PL to block it then deciding **** it let’s join the ESL and getting a slap on the wrist with no points deduction or fine
    As soon as the takeover was completed, a week later deciding a new rule to block direct sponsorship deals from club owners despite Man City and Leicester having exactly that in place
    All of the issues in Saudi about human rights etc now the responsibility of NUFC supporters
    Having the audacity to sack our crap manager
    So yep, just like your takeover :emoticon-0148-yes:

    To be fair, you lot are are a daft nothing club aswell, everyone knows it, **** ground **** support even now, bit like Man City.

    If we turn into a dominant team we will be off the scale, everyone knows it, we aren't a nothing club from London or Manchester.

    Also, you've got aload of daft ****s coming up here acting like idiots when you play Newcastle.

    My guess is that it'll pass after they get used to it.

    Something else will happen and it'll distract them.

    It'll always be there but it'll fade

    Jealousy. But they don’t want to admit that.

    The my would rather pull the human rights claim.

    While popping off to primark for some cheap tat made by 6 years olds in Asia somewhere.

    When they could have got to primark by walking which would have taken five minutes but they actually choose to drive in their PCP gas gussling 4x4 car.

    This crap about Bruce being treated badly is a load of crap.

    Please look at his results for us over his tenure. He manager the Mackems ffs. He is only in this for the money.

    Just like any clubs fans there are always the ones that take it to far.

    I personally can’t stand the man but that is because he has lied, claimed to be a fan, slagged off the fans, server up terrible football and blamed everything under the sun bar himself for his poor performance.

    Football is about results: and he wasn’t getting them. This he ultimately failed.

    See you missed a trick here. What you should have said was “Villa fans threw veg at him and got hardly any CELERY stick”

    It's not actually untrue mate the fans were after him from day 1 and it got ott.

    This was my issue end of last season. Because the fans kept pressing fwd even when results were good and I warned you all it wasn't a good look.

    Now it's given the enemy more ammunition.

    I'm pleased Bruce's gone he didn't have the brains to try and win over the fans and made the mistake of defending himself in front of an angry mob.

    I didnt like Bruce's attitude towards the club.

    I’m not sure the fans didn’t support him from day one mate that was purely circumstantial. A lot of fans where seething because of Rafa leaving and the way it happened.

    Bruce instantly started making his own comparisons to Rafa and just riled up the fans from the off.

    When he started having digs at the fans that was it for me. I don’t have to like someone as long as they are doing their job. I praised him when it went well and didn’t when it didn’t.

    Then you have his son talking ****e.

    Histrionics.

    The didn’t exactly endear himself with the fans.

    Even lied about things.

    Blamed everyone for things that went wrong.

    But took credit when it went right.

    He took a good team and broke it with a massive spend.

    So for me he was the catalyst for a lot of what happened.

    The fans definitely started it mate the day he was appointment there's no getting away from it.

    The mistake Bruce made was trying to defend himself.. They didn't like that

    He used comparison etc to defend himself.

    He was just unwanted and as proved towards the end of last season results were irrelevant.. It was personal.

    Ultimately he's done a crap job and deserved to go, but the last two seasons he did OK.... I gave him credit for that and I'm comfortable with myself now because of that.

    I think the people continuing to be unpleasant are out of order. He's gone, he didn't do a good job in the end, but thanks for keeping us up for two seasons or this takeover may not have happened and that's where it ends for me.

    worst comment from Bruce was his last

    "we win as a team we lose as a team"

    except when it was Matt Richie's fault

    The unpleasantries, calling him names etc I don’t condone. I usually try and argue my negative thoughts based on facts or what my feelings are.

    Buy I try to avoid unpleasantries and name calling because that’s just not acceptable.

    If he had just come out and been honest and stopped the bullshit: admitted his mistakes then he would have been fine.

    On the first day after being sacked he started slagging the fans and pulling the look at me card in the media.

    If you don’t like the heat get out of the kitchen.
