This re-enforces my long held view that in this over liberal world, far too may imbeciles are given a platform to spew their moronic drivel.


Why would GP leave Brighton to go to Newcastle?

It's only a bigger club because they have more letters in their first name!

Muzza priceless expression!

LoL at Noocassell!

I'm struggling to find a problem with what he says there.

Newcastle United is a huge club. 40-50,000 home crowds. They should be top ten every year with the odd top four. Yet it never happens.

He makes it clear that Potter wouldn't leave Brighton for there. And he is right that, given the squad investment, they have done marginally better.

The problem is expectations. At Brighton they are not so high.

he didnt say GP would leave Brighton to Newcastle. his point was about the perceptions of success, its fair comment. see also how the Geordies hate Ashley for not spending, while many laud Bloom for spending sensible.

Newcastle fans - utter utter tw@ts.

What does this fella want?

Same investment as the Albion - check.
More wins than the Albion - check.
Higher league finishes than the Albion - check.

Same as every other horse punching Geordie.


Doesn't know what he wants.
Knows exactly what he hates.
But hands over (clearly not so) hard earned cash to Ashley in order to hate him more.


Those morons would be moaning with Bill Gates bank rolling the club, Pep and Clipperty as joint managers with Spender refereeing every game.

I think he has a good point, excellently explained, and the sooner those top six clubs start looking at Steve Bruce, a proven ENGLISH manager who has done it at the top level, and stop whinging on about Graham Potter, a one trick pony from the lower leagues of Sweden, the better :thumbsup:

Problem is it’s all a bit of nonsense comparing Bruce and Potter based on points won/final positions.

This is pretty much the same game that some have been playing on these boards for the last 2 seasons and all but the blind can see how much we have improved, Potter hasn’t out achieved Hughton, yet we are an immeasurably better side.

I think the same could be said regarding the comparison between Potter and Bruce.

Very plain and very simple, who the **** wants to live in the North East? No one with more than a £1 in their pocket. Newcastle great night life crap aside it is the shithole of England. They ask someone to sign for them, the wag has a look and doesn't matter how many times they call her pet she ain't going. THE END

Spender would be a shite ref though. Oz on the other hand ...

Agree with the agree-ers - it's all very well-reasoned and sensible.

And, it's not really about us/Potter - he's just using us/Potter as a comparison for Bruce's performance at Newcastle.

Potter won't want to leave Albion to go to Newcastle but, as the chap said, given Newcastle's stature he SHOULD want to make a move like that in order to progress his career.

Bruce is no where near as bad as they'd have you believe.
Ashley who bankrolled their championship season, bought in Wilson, St Maximum, Joel Litter-tray et al, isn't the devil incarnate.


Would I want either at the Albion - no of course not.
Have I supported the Albion with worse - of course I have.

Tw@ts.

Results wise, he's exactly right but if I'm watching a relegation battle season in season out, I'd much rather watch it with Potterball over Bruceball.

Think our [MENTION=4675]Frutos[/MENTION] might disagree with you.

You really are wrong. Newcastle is a great city with Northumberland on its doorstep.
