Does anyone who occasionally visit other teams' forums (weirdos!) have a summary of the funniest reactions from Geordies and Owls?  Guess Twitter would be a quicker way of checking.

It might be the biggest drop in manager quality in recent times. Can anyone think of a bigger gap than Benitez to Bruce?

Houllier to McLeish...

So I think Benitez is a bit better than Houillier, though McLeish is definitely worse than Bruce so it's a tricky one.

I saw Mike Ashley land his helicopter at Moor Lane this morning and get driven off towards VP.

And yes before you ask this is 100% true.

I wonder if he is here to meet Bruce?! Hopefully it's nothing to do with villa unless we are in for a Newcastle player...

Marvelous Nakamba bid of 10 million Euros. Bruges don't want to accept it, Nakamba refusing to play.

isn't he still excused though because of the ACN? I also saw that Swansea had rejected a £15m bid from Sheffield United for McBurnie - if so there's no way Brentford would allow Maupay to go for similar money.

Yes Bruce to Smith.

I love Deano and I think he's great but he's not better than Benitez. Different but not better.

He only played one game for them against Egypt on the 21st and wasn't in any of the squads from then on. It doesn't say he hasn't turned up or gone AWOL, just he doesn't want to play for them anymore.

Yes as you say. I wasn't totally serious.
