    Lots of women’s football on there versus a tiny audience. More box ticking.

    It is. It’s box ticking. I’m equality minded, but the fan base for women’s football should come before the media noise - it’s cart before horse ... it’s madness.... the interest is not there and until it is, I don’t deserve to see NUFC ignored in favour of Sarah’s 100th goal in the blah blah league that 5 people bothered to watch

    And are cock-a-hoop at NUFC’s misery - so cock-a-hoop that they pretend it’s exactly what we should be satisfied with; that it’s the natural order of things. I always get the sense that it’s “Newcastle really ought to know their place”

    Seriously, who the **** cares.
    Besides it's meant to be a current affairs site on the news of the day, changing as the day passes.
    Simple answer if anyone is narked by them - block the site and live happily ever after.

    That Simon Jordan is the worst for it. He’s a pure ****. Got his tongue so far up Palace’s arse it’s cringe worthy.

    Pretty damning article it today's mail by Craig Hope. If his article is correct there is something rotten at the core that goes way beyond Bruce and Ashley. One thought. Why, just a few hours before an important game did he feel the need to write this article? Could have waited till Monday perhaps?

    Newcastle United academy director Joe Joyce has been stood down from the role after his wife raised a dispute with the club over the treatment of their son, Sportsmail can reveal.

    Joyce, 59, is one of the club's longest-serving employees after 15 years as head of the youth set-up.

    First-team coach Steve Harper has been placed in interim charge of the academy, meaning that under-fire Magpies boss Steve Bruce has lost his services.

    Newcastle academy chief Joe Joyce has been stood down with his wife in dispute wit







    Joyce's son, Sam, was an under-18s player in the academy before his release in 2019. The 20-year-old midfielder is now enrolled on a soccer scholarship in the United States.

    However, it is understood that his mother brought a dispute against Newcastle after the recurrence of an injury suffered while Sam was playing for the club. Sportsmail has been told she believes the treatment of that injury on Newcastle's watch was not sufficient.

    There is also an issue over her son's academic education while in the academy. It is thought legal action has been discussed.

    The mother of Joyce's son, Sam, thinks the treatment of an injury at the club was not sufficient

    Joyce has been temporarily removed from his position and his club phone has been switched off this week. It is not known if he supports his wife's claims. Newcastle did not comment.

    Harper, the former goalkeeper who spent 20 years as a player, has relocated to the club's academy base and is no longer assisting Bruce. He would be in line to take the job on a permanent basis were Joyce not to return.


    That would safeguard his future at Newcastle - with Bruce's own position under threat amid a run of 12 defeats in 16 matches.

    He retains the support of the club's hierarchy - at least for now - but another loss at home to Wolves on Saturday would amplify calls for him to be sacked. Newcastle are three points above 18th-placed Fulham, who travel to Crystal Palace on Sunday.

    First-team coach Steve Harper has now been placed in interim charge of the club's academy

    Bruce, bizarrely, has played down the influence of tactics during the run-in - instead claiming that players make the difference.

    His comments come after a week in which striker Callum Wilson praised the impact of new assistant boss Graeme Jones and supporters unfurled a banner outside St James' Park depicting Bruce as the joker in a pack of playing cards.

    They again called for owner Mike Ashley to remove the manager.

    The bulk of the criticism centres around submissive performances and Bruce's failure to implement an identifiable style of play during his 19 months in charge.

    His weekly soundbites in pre-match press conferences are also a source of annoyance and disbelief among fans, and his claims regarding tactics have not been well received.

    Newcastle supporters unveiled a banner depicting Steve Bruce as the joker in a pack of cards

    Bruce said: 'Did you see Pep Guardiola this week? He was asked about tactics.

    'He said: 'Yeah, we've invested a lot of money'. How fitting that was, because you can talk about tactics as much as you like, it's all about players.

    'And, of course, when you're up against it you need a bit of luck on your side.'

    Bruce also believes media coverage of his team's predicament is over the top given the number of clubs still involved in the fight for survival.

    Bruce's own position at the helm of the club is under threat due a run of 12 losses in 16 matches

    'We're not alone, I must stress this. It seems that Newcastle are the only ones in it,' he said.

    'At the bottom end there are six or seven nervously looking over their shoulder.

    'Can we finish above them? I'm quietly confident.

    'Fulham have won two in a week. Before that, they had won two in six months.'
