    23/09/20. Predictions?

    Morecambe lost 5-0 at home to Cambridge United last weekend, so I’m going for a 3-0 Morecambe win.

    Predicted line up:

    Gillespie
    Krafth Lascelles Fernandez Clark
    Fraser Barlaser S.Longstaff M. Longstaff J.Murphy
    Joelinton

    Only time we’ve played these previously to what I believe is in 2013 (League Cup) where we won 2-0.

    I’ll sticky this but the sticky count is getting a bit high. Will drop one or two so we don’t end up like the Mackem board ...

    I think the Ebar should stay, it's over 1000 pages. Board history that

    The general match day thread has legs, I think it's a good idea that every board should have one of them

    I actually think we should have stickied the Warm Glow thread ages ago, but my question is...

    Do the matchday threads like our Spurs one and this Morecambe one need to be stickied?

    They'll be used anyway like, just make sure the lazy ****s who make them @Leo Billy and @captain wrong actually use the appropriate tag - like "MATCH DAY THREAD" ffs.

    We will get beat 1-0. But it won’t be Bruce’s fault.

    This match will say a lot about the state of the club.

    We can't win it, so I'd rather get beat and make a fool of Bruce than stay in. Highly unlikely, though. Even a Brucey special 4-4-2 should be enough tonight.

    It'll be another **** performance and Bruce will start crowing about winning 3 games. He'll throw is something referencing the one loss, 10 crazy minutes and referening the reaction of the fans bring ' that's the way it is up here'

    I just hate the way the media's ran things as if we're some strange breed of fan that is different to other fans. It's all nonsense fans are all the same! If the clubs going fwd everything's fine if it's going backwards they're not happy. The problem is this bizarre narrative has been pumped out over decades and the managers all roll with it when it's offered up in interviews during times of fan unrest.. They basically allow the failing manager to push off any suggestions there's any issues on their or the clubs behalf into this media created black hole, that being the fans are just all mad we're doing great.

    You've lost 3-0 at home to Brighton with not one shot on goal, you've won only 5 in your last 25 games, you've had 100 million and the side it still not scoring and is leaking goals Steve and the fans aren't happy.

    " oh well you know we've had a terrific result at West Ham and then had a 10 minute horror show the next week and you know what's it like up here with the fans"


    **** OFF

    I want Steve Bruce, in a room, for a Not606 exclusive interview. We could and would absolutely rinse him when he comes out with **** like that, but journo's don't or can't say the right questions:

    - "Yes, well, it's not that, Steve - it's that the formation, from the first second, looked like something out of 1991, how do you explain that?"
    - "Sure, but there was no clear gameplan, you had flat lines that Brighton - not Man City, not Liverpool, but BRIGHTON - passed through at will, yet you took an entire half to change it, why?".
    - "So you said you knew about Lamptey, surely you also 'know' ASM won't be useful as a defensive left midfielder, you've managed him for a year, yet that's what you did - why?"
    - "Andy Carroll hasn't played more than 10 games a season for 4 years, barely scores and has lost more than half a yard - why is he starting ahead of the pacey and committed Almiron?".

    He has the Mike-relationship of Pardew, with the managerial skill of McLaren. A glorious combination - so when things go absolutely tits up, he won't be sacked! Marvellous.

    Jesus christ his press conference is 16 minutes of excuses and setting up excuses.

    Not even joking the media offering them and him taking them throughout.

    It's so obvious the media are as keen to find them than he is..

    He needs to stop looking for everything other than the way we are playing and address it otherwise he's going to be put on his arse.. We need him to address the real issues and do well not lol to find reasons outside his control.

    Bruce 'hopes' we can win. It's Morecambe for FFS. Anyone would think that Morecambe and Wise were in charge of motivating the players.

    This will be a hard fought 0-4 to the Toon Joe Linton to score them all

    He did. He also said it's "their cup final". He's a walking ****ing cliche. Ron Manager.
