Newcastle United head coach Steve Bruce has been presented with the LG Performance of the Week award in recognition of the Magpies’ 3-2 victory over West Ham last weekend.

 

First half strikes from Ciaran Clark and Federico Fernández got United up and running at the London Stadium on Saturday, before Jonjo Shelvey’s stunning free kick made it 3-0 after the break.

 

Late strikes from Fabian Balbuena and Robert Snodgrass couldn’t take the gloss off what was a fine win away from home for Bruce’s men, who are now a point off a place in the top half of the Premier League.

 

The award, which is determined by the League Manager’s Association panel comprising LMA chairman Howard Wilkinson, former Newcastle boss Chris Hughton, Barry Fry, Joe Royle, Sir Alex Ferguson and Dave Bassett, was presented to Bruce at the Magpies’ Benton training centre ahead of their fixture against AFC Bournemouth.

 

The United boss also received a celebratory bottle of champagne, courtesy of Tanners Wines, and the LG Performance of the Week trophy to commemorate the victory.

I know matchdays are hard to judge a coaches input, but given that Antia was supposedly in charge of set-pieces we were never convincing. We seem better in that respect so far.

Having only watched one match I’m surprised we’re better at anything.

 

Are you sure we’re not just only scoring from set pieces and conceding more from open play?

Has anyone seen anything in any of our games to think that we're anything but utter s****, results aside?

 

Decent keeper and quite a bit of pace.

 

All down to Bruce having them running faster in training.

Truth is, if Bruce won the treble here I'd still hate and never ever respect the guy.  I've always dreaded having him as manager when we were linked in the past and I still feel the same about him now

 

If Bruce won the treble, you'd still hate him and never respect him? WTF :lol: :lol:

It's called principles. Doubtful if you've ever had any, so understandable you don't understand what he means.

That's bollocks like, there isn't anybody who would fail to respect someone who won the treble unless he was insane.

Well, by that logic you'd respect anyone if they won something, no matter what a despicable cunt they actually are. Fair enough.

 

Theres a huge difference between respecting an achievement and respecting a person.

How do you respect the achievement without giving the person the credit for it? Do you pretend it was all someone else's work all along?

 

I never liked Alex Ferguson but I could respect him as a manager.
