I think it being postponed is the right thing but I do still think it should be the same for cup games. 

Agreed. But Klopp got his way. The FA, etc, are so leaned towards Liverpool it is ridiculous.

[Mr Tree]

closed our training ground, unspecified number of positive tests, next two matches postponed. this is getting serious now!!

@Woody have we just named the most defensive team in premier league history and against bottom of the table Sheffield United? 😂

Yes mate. Heard it on talksport....fuming!

Why isnt Carroll starting again? Against the worst defensebin the league he stood a chance of knocking one in at least.

Donr get it mate.

It’s actually laughable, Callum Wilson must be frustrated, we’ll see how the game goes, but I’m not expecting much!

In my fantasy team this week and when a Newcastle player manages to weave their way into my team they better do something good.

I just don’t understand what his game plan was tonight, let’s play as many defensive players as we can so we can piss off the fans.

Also I always forget to mention, your profile picture I love, my hero!

It’s awful!

How Bruce has got a job managing in the prem is ridiculous. Clueless.

Bogle and Osborn are so far forward they are almost strikers! We have buckets of pace in the team and we dont use it at all.

Tbh i'm glad we have Fernandez...he has been class amongst complete garbage.

How deep we sit every game is what breaks me, poor Wilson has no support.

Yeah he’s been a good signing, seems like he’s a good bloke behind the scenes as well. 
 

I’ll let you know how the second half goes 😂

1-0 down. Penalty. I think the decision was a bit harsh considering a tangle of arms caused a handball but we deserve to be behind. Even if we had 11 men.

 

I've watched EVERY Toon match for over 7 years. Not missed one and this is seriously the first time I've even considered not watching future matches. I've turned this off now to get a shower before work. Gonna be fun listening to the glory supporters in work stag us off. I can't even defend us either. 😕

I know I never miss watching us and this is harder to watch then when McLaren was in charge for me, it’s so defensive it’s ridiculous. If this means Ashley will be looking to move Bruce on though, it could be a good thing 😂

Not really unless he gives the job to Eddie Howe. An attack minded manager who would thrive with a bit of backing, i think. BUT! Fat Mike won't back any Manager so I'm not sure if it's even worth sacking Bruce. I don't even think he'd be sacked of we were relegated (which is a serious possibility). He's a cheap option. I'm sure I read somewhere that he's 19th on the list of wages out of all Prem managers (I might have made that up tbf.😂)

Yeah and I’d put him 20 out of 20 as manager in the prem haha. How he’s still in the prem managing I don’t know, especially when he keeps saying he’s trying to change the way we play 😳

[Woody]

I hate supporting the club at the moment!

Only one man can save Newcastle now.

I nearly said earlier I’d have Pardew back even, this is honestly the worst football I’ve seen in my 90 years of supporting Newcastle.

Atleast we played some decent football 😂

I dont even want Eddie Howe. Not that we would stand a chance but Thomas Tuchel would be nice.

[Dai_]

The thing about that Pardew reign is that scouting players seemed easier. We picked up some unbelievable bargains back then and formed a very good team. They were a joy to watch and had some real quality. I miss Cabaye, Ba, Ben Arfa, Cisse, Jonas and King Colo at the back. 😑

I miss that team as well, Some class players, finishing 5th, that was one of my favourite seasons. Someday I’m sure we can bring some kind of glory. Now that Qatar and Saudi have sorted there differences, I hope somehow the takeover can be sorted. Especially with Richard Masters (hate that he has MY name) spoke about it today.

It's okay fellas, two Uniteds won today... Oh my bad 😉

I'm just messing, I must admit I thought Bruce was doing well at yous until recently, he is trash and so devoid of ideas, no actual philosophy or style of play, he's one of the ma y managers to jump on the 5 atb bandwagon that Conte brought and it just doesn't work for anyone that isn't called Wolves, some good attacking talent in that Toon team and Bruce refuses to play to their strengths, I genuinely feel sorry for you all.

Problem is he doesnt allow the team freedom to move forward and sticks to this deep defensive line that just allows teams on to us. It lacks support in the attacking 3rd which inturn starves Wilson.

Its poor management.
