    Some may do but if he can take the plaudits he has to take the criticisms. He’s even alluded himself that he’s been pretty **** recently.

    I’d be fine selling Bruno for that amount. You have to, in order to progress. Liverpool transformed with the Coutinho money, similarly Villa and Grealish and this season looks like West Ham have reinvested the Rice money effectively.

    If selling Bruno means we stop buying the likes of Harvey Barnes and start being super aggressive and ambitious then I’m happy.

    Humans tend to have times when things don't go well and that's when support helps more then criticism imo anyway

    Again true but doesn’t mean they can’t be criticised

    ****s sake - it’s really simple; if you don’t like/can’t take criticism don’t ever, ever go on ****ing Twitter. He’s getting zero grief in the street or in the ground.

    Irrelevant to what's right and what's not.

    I'm pleased he got them told and if fans don't like it back stfu and don't give it.

    It was the fanbase equivalent of bully gets knocked out.

    Then they run to mammy saying look what he did.

    I take it and give it.

    These wimps wanted to bully Bruno and when he defeated them they ran home crying saying look what Bruno did.

    Actually, not really. They facelessly criticised because it's easy. He eventually grew up and realised how pathetic these people are; which is what I said, don't go on socials if you're not prepared for morons.

    Furthermore, it's now blatantly clear why he's been so crap. PSG and Liverpool came calling, his agent whispered numbers and trophies in his ear and he got a bit sulky. Window's properly shut now, massive contract is on the table, and hopefulyl EH gets his head out of his ass and works a better system for Tonali/Bruno (double pivot). Bruno will be back, class is permanent.

    I completely disagree.. I've dealt with people like that all my life tbh. People that like taking digs at other people and when the person retaliates they cry.

    You should be saying congratulations Bruno but deep down you want to see him getting ****e because of a stray pass that impacted your limbic system.

    The teams been losing and as usual fans get upset and start attacking their most valuable assets.

    Newcastle didn't win a game without this player last season! We're 4 games in and had 3 of the hardest fixtures possible back to back.

    Erm. Ok.

    My belief is that all social platforms should be shut down, because all they mostly do is contribute to online hate, bullying, racism, suicide, etc. in the absence of this reality, my preference is that everybody just moves away from them. A footballer, on £200k a week, playing in front of tv cameras with a billion watchers, has zero need whatsoever for social media. These places are breeding grounds for ignorant, stupid, faceless morons. Anybody going on them is asking for problems.

    Now if we were talking about booing in the ground, or slurs, personal comments, etc, then that’s despicable and those guilty should be banned for life. But nobody is doing that. So we have to separate reality from pure fantasy.

    I agree twitter is full of arseholes mate, but I see it like a pub there's arseholes in there usually too, but they shouldn't be stopping good people enjoying the occasional visit.

    The more arseholes that get chinned the better in that scenario imo.

    Wow.

    You think people booing in a football stadium should get lifetime bans?
    Likewise actually expressing a slur like "Pope's been ****ing **** for weeks" deserves a lifetime ban?
    and God forbid somebody is to say something like "Big Joe your hair looks **** and makes you look like a Bruno wannabe". That deserves a lifetime ban?

    I think they should be banned to allow people that want to get behind the players to get a ticket.

    They can buy tickets easily. 3 defeats is all it took for the tourist brigade to **** off.

    I still couldn't get one :emoticon-0140-rofl:

    Admittedly, I have been trying to tag a pair for me and the little lass, and been that busy that I missed the first re-release. Checked last night and I could have got a single ticket, as a wheelchair user, on what looked Like L7.

    "How did you get up there?"

    "I fell..."

    Don’t think Liverpool ever came calling. Don’t remember seeing us linked to him during the actual window
