    Time to accept reality. Or not. He wins or loses it makes no odds because you have set yourself firmly on the fence. You can’t lose:

    You just come across as a clever defendant of Bruce but the reality is your just hedging your bets.

    If he proves us all wrong (bar you) your gonna as you say “turn the screw”.

    And if he loses and proves us right your gonna say you wanted the two games so you win again?

    Your always on the fence:

    It’s interesting what happens when you give a good manager a couple of decent players eh. Rafa is a good manager like.

    Yeah, that's pretty much what Munson does on every single topic <laugh>

    When you post the sheer volume that Munson posts in a day, then you're bound to cover every single angle and have posts to back yourself up.

    But he's not being clever.

    It's not about being right or wrong That's the position you've wound up in because you're desperate to win the 2 years old Bruce out debate.

    I've just concluded that it's too early to go balls deep.

    The last 2 years you should've learned that, but you haven't.

    Why is it that you can't just argue against the points I'm making in my responses?, why is that instead I get the " oh but your just doing this's"? Or the "your just trying to do this's"?

    It's because you've realised that my position is sound and don't want to just acknowledge it.

    I've made my position clear there's no on the fence aspect to any of it..

    It's the same position I've had on this for ages

    This is nothing new either they chased Bobby Robson out, so poor old Bruce was never going to get a fair shake was he.

    Steve Bruce had done fine so far, but so far this season it's not looking good, however I'm holding fire for a couple more games because I recognise familiar things

    Interesting that the rafa hate that was so loud in the media has ended now he's not at Newcastle.

    I don't care what anyone says the media hate Newcastle.

    No he didn’t. His contract wasn’t renewed. Big difference.

    We're 4 games in.. You wanted to judge the full season just 18 as I recall.

    Surely 4s not enough.

    No Dubs key player and tbh I can't believe I'm saying it but no jonjo, so you'll need them too

    Yes he did but he didn’t quit. When a contract expires due to passage of time the employee is not quitting.


    But for you 6 is?

    Leaving and quitting the club is basically same thing

    No 18 and you said you wanted judge a full season

    Now you're judging only 4

    As usual you are deliberately mixing things up.

    1. Leaving is not the same as quitting. If you genuinely can’t see the difference then there really is no hope for the English language.
    2. I said I was judging Bruce over all of last season not just part of it as you wanted too. That was looking back over a season. We are now looking forward over this season and guessing what may or may not happen going forward. He may have avoided relegation in the last two seasons but I don’t believe we will this season based on how Bruce has performed as a manager so far this season eg team selection, tactics, substitutions etc. We should avoid relegation but Bruce isn’t performing to the necessary managerial standards to show he is capable of ensuring that that will happen.
    3. Four plus two equals six and not eighteen.

    Simon Jordan apparently has spoken with Steve Bruce and told him to quit the job after "getting us" 12th.

    I agree with Jordan, he should have resigned and probably retired from football after last season. Got a good payout and stuff and would have left on a high.

    I think it will end with us going down this season, he will be sacked and will not get a new job.

    I merely told you what you said about judging full seasons.

    You said it mate

    4 games is fine to make judgements but 18 was too short.
