Matt Hancock now favourite to take over at Spurs. His speciality is eradicating disease

Scotland played well in their previous match and I wasn't surprised to see them play so well last night. This is the best I've seen Scotland play in years. They had a plan and we didn't

They hate Rafa because of the success he had at Liverpool and that made Everton look even worse. Trouble is they think that Liverpool and Everton are two different cities. I am sure that Rafa would have done a lot of good for the area and a lot of the evertonians would have benefited from that. Of course they could never admit it. They obviously want someone who is oozing class and charisma like David Moyes?

I've spent nearly two years honestly believing that the takeover would go through and Rafa would come back to finish the job he started and craved

John Hartson is a really exciting commentator

Rafa did make some poor signings but I think they were 4th or 5th choice because of the money

Considering they've got the burden of Carver, Sturgeon, Gordon Brown etc,etc Scotland did quite well and may not be a pushover for England

I reckon Southgate is just about on a par with Bruce

Well, I'm 77 and I wonder if they'll give me a 1 year contract. I could probably do as many minutes in a season as Andy does and keep Joelinton company as well

I've still got my Shearer shirt in the wardrobe. One of the original blue star ones from when he signed for us. Keep meaning to stick it on Fleabag before I croak

Come home Rafa

The truth is that I don't want Rafa to go anywhere but back here. I just feel that's where he belongs and I can't stop feeling like that

Bruce will be making a statement to the press..."I'm delighted for Graeme and it's a great honour for the club. I knew when I appointed him that he would develop into a top coach. Obviously working with myself and the other Steve's, with all of our massive experience has been hugely beneficial to him, and we wish him luck

Pleased for him, he deserves a bit of a reward for saving us from relegation

Rafa is waiting for the call from Amanda

This season has just been so unusual. You normally get one rank bad team at the bottom of the table but this season there have been three. I don't recall the top teams getting beat so many times as they have this season. Normally if they lose more than a couple then they can't win the league but not this season. With the fans back next season we will hopefully get some normality

What happened to 'Speculate to accumulate'. Maybe Mike hasn't heard of that one

Problem is that if he comes here permanently and still have Bruce, we just need to lose 3 or 4 games on the trot,Bruce will blame him and he'll be sat on the bench

The head hunters will be chasing Steve Bruce with all of his experience. WBA, Spurs, Palace, Celtic. The world is his lobster

Well done to those who booed him and showed him what we on this forum think of him.

Why are we seeing a letter dated October 2020

Can only put the recent improvement down to Jones. In his first 18 months Bruce has not come close to this type of performance. The players were always there and were capable of far better than what has been produced. This squad are a top 10 squad

The trophy will be dropping in Jizz from Alex Bruce

Why does he keep going on about his big players up the pitch making such a difference. His biggest players since he came here are the big players at the bottom end of the pitch, between the goal posts. It is they who have kept us in the PL. Dubs and to a lesser extent Darlow, must be really pissed off constantly hearing all of this crap about his big players up the pitch

This last little splutter of wins reminds me of Parsees for five finish. Nice but you know that it's just going to collapse into a downward spiral. He's had a lot of experience of downward spirals but has no clue how to stop them or why they even happened in the first place. Just waiting for the inevitable
