“It must be something in our DNA”

[HughieG]

“There were large parts of it that I was delighted with – and, hopefully, we can take that into Saturday."

“It wouldn’t be Newcastle if we didn’t make a drama out of it! It must be something in our DNA."

“For an hour, I was very pleased. But, then that horrible mentality of when you think it’s too easy."

“We switched off and to be fair to West Brom, they never gave up.”


I think that something in our DNA are called poor substitutions (and yes, Rafa also made poor decisions substitution-wise) when things are going well.

It wouldn't be in our DNA if our managers knew what they were doing IMO.

Nothing whatsoever to do with DNA it was down to terrible substitutions no other reason

Exactly my point, Terry!

He talks as though the team ‘switching off’ is nothing to do with him. Also, if it’s in the team’s DNA then there’s nothing he can do to change it.


I despair.

Bruce the dinosaur doesnt have a clue. Need to be careful though. Will be knackered if a top team in Europe or top 4 in the Premier League comes in for him. DNA my arse. Another excuse off his conveyor belt of them.

We need to be careful I can see a top four club or even Real Madrid coming in for him in the close season.

Then where will it leave us
