I had actually forgot about these quotes - absolute wanker! Steve Bruce was on the warpath. “It is absolutely the biggest pile of shite I have ever heard,” the Newcastle United head coach said, adding a coating of characteristic indiscretion. It was January 2021 and his team were in the midst of a winless run which eventually stretched to 11 matches and Tyneside was bubbling with rumour; that Bruce had three games to save his job, that Eddie Howe was among the candidates to replace him. Bruce lasered in on one publication. “I give respect,” he said. “When I see polls, the next manager and the fella from Bournemouth, I find it disrespectful, I have to tell you. Your paper was gunning for a manager that got a team relegated last year.” The reality of Mike Ashley’s ownership and its glass ceiling was hitting home. “Am I alone with the managers at Newcastle over the last 15 years? Hasn’t every manager been in exactly the same situation?” Bruce asked.

I just wish the owners had of binned him as soon as they took over! I think with the bad press the takeover received and with it being his 1000th match in charge, they decided to let him take the Spurs match as a smart PR move as they'd have been hammered by his wanker mates in the media! Arteta would have been up in arms that "one of the most important managers that England has had in the last 100 years" () wasn't allowed to take his 1000th match! Some of my red and white mates are desperate for him to still be in charge when they play them so they can hammer him! Mr Popular, eh?

Someone on WBA Twitter just posted his managerial stats and even by his own poor standards we are the recipients of his worst managerial performances. appointment (Feb 3): ? 26 league games ? 31 points ✅ 7 wins ? 10 draws ❌ 9 losses ? 1 win in 9 league games this season. ? Only 5 Championship sides have fewer points than #wba in this period.

Pure poetry - a simply marvellous breakfast read

Aye, he's a cracking lad Dan Neil and his flick, movement and cross was superb for it

You reap what you sow - another nice pay-off incoming for this tosser! Joke!

Absolute disgrace moving the Spurs match FFS

I see a former player is currying favour with them - I’m sure he was born in Newcastle too iirc? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/golf/article-11205961/Lee-Westwood-hits-former-footballer-comparing-new-LIV-Golf-series-MATCH-FIXING.html

Announced tomorrow morning that this weekend is off apparently

From what I’ve heard, it’ll be off

Aye, it’ll be off this

I was just going post that - header open goal! I’m sure Colo scored first as I backed him!

Aaron Ramsey anytime 7/2 tonight……
