sne Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Think Bruce has landed himself in a hopeless / perfect situation at Newcastle. On the one hand there really is no way he can win. Even if the have an amazing season and finish around 10th the fans still won't be happy or even content because they'd probably rather see Ashley fail and be forced to sell rather than finishing mid table and more of the same. And if they flop and risk relegation Bruce will be sacked before the season ends, and then he'll rightly be able to claim that the club was shambles and he had an impossible job. All sides will be able to spin it in their favor, and they will. And all the while the fans will be the one suffering from it. Glad it's not us for once.

They are thoughtless in the final third. Might get loads of 0-0 games though. They had more chances on goal/shots than we did against spurs..

We will have far easier games than Spurs & they will have far easier games than Arsenal. Joelinton, Almiron & Saint-Maximin will get them some goals once they have settled in but they do have a pretty horrible run of games heading their way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'Villan Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I swear it was this time 10 years ago Andy Carroll was playing for Newcastle I wonder if he can rekindle the form that got him a 35million pound transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More chance of this form Quote England soccer star Andy Carroll was left in agony after a drunken fall from a casino bar stool at 5am, it was claimed yesterday. Carroll, 22, had just ordered 30 “Jagerbombs” – a potent mix of spirit Jagermeister and Red Bull energy drink – for himself and 15 pals. Next day the £20million striker’s club, Newcastle United, announced that a thigh injury would rule him out of at least three games. The Geordie – who picked up an injury in United’s match against Spurs on December 28 – was on a six-hour bender until 6.30am on December 30 at Aspers Casino in Newcastle. As well as FOUR Jagerbombs, 6ft 4in Carroll downed TWO pints of Fosters and around SIX bottles of Peroni. Witnesses saw him slump down with his head in his hands after the Jagerbombs and one Peroni. Then all of a sudden he perked up, alert, “like a meerkat”. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastles-andy-carroll-injured-six-hour-3335365 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
