I hope Tony is now actively looking for a new manager right now/

[mondaze]

brucie said we all got over-excited about john terry signing... really? where was i when this happened? as far as i could see fan reaction was mixed. from what i saw last night he was a total waste of money and space! we may have expected him to be caught out by pace, but could have at least expected some passion and a level of organisation from him, he is supposed to be captain fantastic, mister grit and determination, yet not once last night did i see him bawl out any of his team... to be fair he looked out of his depth, elphick x2. baker will come back to bite us when terry and samba are crocked and we are left with one centre half, and hutton as a make weight... i did so enjoy our years in division 3... soon to come back with a vengeance.

This managing lark is not easy. Just have a look at the VM Fantasy league table

Is easy when you're special *Portuguese shrug and walks off

[mistaram]

Blimey lads a bit if overreaction there's another 129 points to be won If you think you've bought a loot of over priced players you should try supporting Derby😃

Keep watching the Benitez/Ashley saga at St James Park. If the FSW walks get him signed up before he can even realise where he is

[TrianonDave]

How come Xia is not saying anything via Twitter? How come the great and wonderful Terry is not saying anything?

So on Saturday just what team will Bruce put out? does he know his best 11, what formation will he try and will he as expected mainly because it does not make sense, Drop Hourihane in favour of Samba and bring back gabby, had he got rid of gabby instead of giving him the MacCormack treatment I am sure another striker would be in by now?

So what's the goss on Newcastle

[stateside]

Ashley won't spend the money he promised. Rafa has a slim squad and injury after injury and a suspension piling up.

[bongosdad]

No let's try some consistency Dave. What is getting in the next merrigo round manager going to achieve? New manager syndrome where suddenly here belends remember how to play for a couple of weeks?

The problem is gabby. It is Hutton. It is those players who are some how still at the club after being shown to be beyond ****.

Hogan is obviously injury prone but we still have hepburn Murphy. We still have O'Hare and mccormack. Kodija will be back soon. Get rid of Bruce the you have a new guy who gets all the same "...it's not my team" excuses to use. And gabbys amazing private investigator will still make sure he is in the team by dragging up whatever dirt he managed to find on the last 5 guys in charge

To be fair Sam, we have only scored two goals and Gabby scored on of them and set up the other.
Let's stop the witch hunt eh and realise there are 11 players on the pitch.

[yubbywelch]

That's correct Bingo. But Gabby is getting paid more than all of them, except I assume Terry

[bongosdad]

It's not your money yubby so who cares.

[samhubball]

It isn't a witch hunt bongo. I am saying that with all the changes in players and managers, coaches and even an owner we are still shocking. Why? The only answer I have is that gabby and Hutton must be leaking some loser hormones on the other players or something.

It's a mental thing. You know if you start a new job you're full of ambition and excitement. Then a long come the old employees who have been there forever who say things like "the management here is crap. Owner is a bellend. They treat you like crap"... the initial enthusiasm can be gone quickly if you are easily led
