Really? Let's just be real mate and say that nufc fans went after him from day 1...

Essentially nufc fans made it personal and when Bruce started defending himself they started saying "see he's a ****"

Did nufc fans still go after him when newcastle were doing well the 2nd half of last season?

I meant more through his full career mate. Statistically he’s the worst the PL has seen.

He’s done some damage at other clubs and I don’t think there’s that many when he’s left who would say he did a good job.

The personal abuse he gets isn’t right. I accept that. It should never get personal.

But criticism is fair and provided it’s not abusive then it’s fine. The fact is he’s doing an average job for a poor club ran by a terrible MD owned by a complete tosspot.

Nah the fans just go on like a complete set of pricks mate. Once someone is in the fans should do what they signed up for, support. If not just **** off and go play with their cock/fanny. Nothing to do with whether they degrade the club, the fans make their judgements before time or results have passed. We've got loads of tools. They hamper the club equally as much as a bad manager does.

I didn’t have any issues with Bruce personally before he joined.

Since bruces arrival. My own opinion is that he’s not a very good manager. Equally we have stayed up each season he’s finished but we have had some rotten runs of results. With the odd good win along the way.

I support the club through thick and thin and that’s why I’m here posting. But it doesn’t mean I can’t dislike what I am seeing and I dislike the football Bruce is playing. I didn’t like the football Rafa gave us for the record either and comparatively I would argue that Bruce has not done any better or worse than him.

But I don’t like the way Bruce carries on. I don’t like the way he bigs up opposition. I don’t like how he handles the media. I don’t like his tactics. And I’m allowed to say that and it doesn’t make me a bad person or a punt(c).

The entire Newcastle fan base bar a few that can override their emotional decision making have been proven to be demonstrably wrong by Bruce for 2 years.

He's absolutely destroyed them and made them look silly in that time.

Every pundit, every journalist and every fan outside nufc has tried telling them throughout, but they have continued to keep digging.

They might get their wish and of course they'll come out like children saying "see" the day Bruce goes just like Pardew.... They got relegated of course after they hounded pardew out, but they've forgotten they know nothing about football and are trying to get us relegated again I think.

It’s just opinions. I just think he’s done average. I don’t like his football and I don’t like the way he acts.

Your right there is a massive section of support who jump on his back. Rightly or wrongly.

Fact remains we are still (I think this season is the one we go down) a premier league team and it’s been pretty crap since he’s joined.

It’s not all Bruces fault ofc.

I blame the owner and the people running the club its not rocket science.

If fans blame Bruce while also going after the owner and the clubs **** from top to bottom and it's a championship sqaud then they've lost their argument already.

I might be one of the only fans that actually liked Pardew as manager. And remember he was also shafted bu Ashley aswell.

We had that good season that Pardew overseen and then when we needed some strength in depth we bought only one player. And he was a very small midfielder.

The squad is on paper is a mid table squad for me.

Bruces tactics are poor.

He’s not been supported this transfer window and most other clubs have strengthened. If he had got his players and then we failed we could blame Bruce.

Ashley is ultimately responsible for the mess we are in.

But Bruce takes the blame for some of his own mistakes. In my opinion from me if we play well and get results I praise him: if we don’t and lose I’m critical. That’s fair I think.

It's not though is it. What food would you like that you can't find in Newcastle?

Ok then I shall answer you... The comment I made wasn't about what I can or can't get, but merely about quality..

I don't like the food in this country never mind in Newcastle in comparison to other places.

They can't even make a decent pizza here.
