    My posts to you are never meaningless!

    Doing a barbecue. Oh sorry , no ale yet but waiting for the chicken to go from 50 to 77 gives me time to ramble.

    Different game, no comparison. League two needs an up and st them captain.

    Aye.

    I bet you're one of those that like to tell us Messi would be crap in league two because he's not physical enough :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    You know as well as I do that Messi would get hacked to bits in league two and not make it past the first month before being seriously injured or giving it up.

    Tery Yorath was no Messi but he looked poor when he played because no one else could keep up with his football brain, same with Stapleton.

    He would. Do you honestly believe he would just waltz past ten men ? No chance, broken leg inside 30 minutes.

    I can imagine the conversation now;

    Messi: Hi Mr Rupp. Any chance I can sign for City.

    Rupp: Sorry M9, I just don't think we'd be able to play you away to Barrow.

    Exactly why Arsenal paid eye-watering money for White.

    Staunton could potentially do something similar although please note I'm not saying he should go to the PL today! Still has some development to make to get in the team first!

    Arsenal paid a eye watering money for White because they don't know what they are doing...Joke of a club these days.

    Could he do it on cold, wet Tuesday at Sutton though!?!? haha

    Ridiculous, of course, people have tried to kick him off the park all his career. He'd get 10 a game

    You can see the scenario, England v Argentina in the world cup and Southgate telling Walker, Shaw, Stones and Maguire they've not made the squad due to him picking a defence from league 2 Barrow, Bradford, Harrogate and Forest Green.

    Nah! You and your Bradford City pro agenda to try fool everyone is a joke!

    Steve Brue today: https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/19451482.steve-bruce-gives-verdict-newcastles-loss-york/


    “Listen, we’re disappointed with the result, of course, but it’s not all about the result" said Bruce.

    "We didn’t deserve to lose, but it just shows you if you don’t play with the intensity and the speed and the pace you normally do, then you get frustrating afternoons like we’ve just had. It’s all about fitness levels.

    -
    Look, I know your game and as I say I hope the club are paying you good money but if not at least have your own mind!!

    Steve Bruce is a PL manager. What you going to come out with that Bradford City have a better manager!

    Pre Season is mainly about fitness and putting things into practice from training. Means nothing! Case rested!

    Steve Bruce might be a PL manager, but wouldn't swap him for Adams

    Who gives a flying &#* about what Steve Bruce says? Nobody in Newcastle does that's for sure, so why would anyone else?
    As I pointed out to you yesterday Adams said himself without any hesitation whatsoever, that the most important thing about Saturday's result was winning. That's the mentality he wants his players to have, it is what you have been banging on about forever so should be something you welcome but no, that wouldn't fit with your agenda to be negative about everything just for the sheer sake of it would it?

    Why are you babbling on about Steve Bruce? You said pre season is just about fitness. It clearly isnt as far as our own manager is concerned. He has gone on record stating it is more.

    Accept you are wrong!!!

    Our manager is new. Of course he wants to see the players he doesn’t know.

    Pre season is an extension to training and it’s about getting the lads main match fit!
