Interesting stats bandied about a week or two ago when Bruce was lambasted for 30% possession at home against Chelsea I believe (could be wrong).Rafa blueprint or not, the 'football' on offer is probably the worst ive seen in over 45 years or so of my footballing life. It's something that could be used to punish criminals into admitting guilt for crimes that theyve not admitted to.
What a time to be a Geordie born into supporting this.........
The 0-0 flattered 'us'. I used to think Pardew played containment football and it fucked me off but Broocey and his allowance of the Ashley way has created new parameters with his long staying love in.
The worst thing about this is that it will continue for at least another decade as Ashley's going nowhere. This is the shape of things to come.
In the same fixture the season before the crowd had endured 15%
