Chaser

He was very good for a period, but like most has regressed. Hayden was also a rock in that system but he's more like a stone in the field at the moment.

It's so he didn't have to watch the shite the rest of us had to put up with.

We may be the richest club on paper but we are miles away from being where we need to be for someone top level to consider us. Weird that this has all happened at a time where there isn't an obvious stand out candidate that the board and fans would unite with. Probably why it's taking them longer to make a decision on what to do.

I'd rather have Potter than Martinez.

He has been shite, but I'll forgive him for all the hope he gave us during bruceball.

Absolute sour grapes going on here. Ok while they're feeding from the trough but as soon as we push in, it's suddenly a question of what's good for competition. Laughable.

There should be one on each side of the ground given the number of people and the potential for it. No excuse really.

Willock dug us out for those last 8 games, but at times we've seen a glimpse of some cohesion. Lascelles was and should be better, Longstaff was and should be better. With Wilson, Willock and the Saint, we should have more than enough to get goals, and we saw under Rafa that these defenders were organised at one point. Hayden also used to have a big part in that in midfield. Like everything else at the club, its been left to decay over time and the players have just shown that. The way they performed today suggests that they know that they have a hand in what happens next with the management.

Dreadful. I know Wilson is short of match fitness but taking him and Willock off and leaving Joelinton on the pitch was almost Bruce acknowledging that his time is up. I simply can't believe that anyone in their right mind thought he was worth £40000 never mind £4 Million. He's absolutely out of his depth as a footballer and should not be in this side. I'd play Murphy or Fraser over him all day. Whilst Im not a fan of the name calling for Bruce, he should have gone games ago. He knows he can't turn our fortunes around, 36% possession at home with one shot on target is nothing short of disgraceful. Given that we should have had a bounce from this, the players are disorganised and disinterested. At the start of the season I thought some of the results were a bit harsh on a couple of performances, but they've just got worse as the weeks have wore on.

Should have been given a yellow for his theatricals. It's a joke and all it did was hold up our attack.

I thought that. Jaundice likely.

Hope that the person makes a full recovery. Fingers crossed.

Given the defib was rushed across the pitch it seems that way.

Joe gets the ball and still doesn't know what to do with it.

Football is a weird, parallel universe to what the rest of us live in. Bruce is praised for reaching 1000 games yet won less than a third of them, Rashford knocks out a few tweets and gets an MBE while all those working for charities or saving lives go unnoticed. Players moaning how tough it is to live on £50k a week when the rest of us are living on less than that a year. Im sure the media would be delighted if Woodward gave Bruce the Man Utd job once Ole gets the sack, They really deserve each other.

Can't see him out before Spurs now. Thought at the very latest we would hear it today. It's going to be an odd atmosphere on Sunday now.

He's lasted 2 days longer than I thought he would. They should just get on with it and let Jones do it this weekend. I imagine they've sat down with the players and discussed with them, maybe they've been supportive of him as it seems that he's generally well liked amongst the ex players and media. It's just the fans who can't abide him.

Have you seen the pair of them? Adeyemi is flying again this season and both are being eyed up by top clubs.

Rodgers would get my backing if he came, I'd actually like Potter as he's done a lot with the club's he's had and clearly has the ability to actually manage players rather than just throw money at a problem. Gerard has a championship side team in a pub league so I don't see how that level of competition sets him up. Club needs to fight relegation first before considering running for Europe. It'll come but probably being a bit realistic about how attractive we are at this very minute.

Me and neighbour were talking about it, and agreed that you never realised how good that period of football was until it was gone. If they could bring back a slice of that 90s magic it would be 👌

Karim Adeyemi and Aster Vranckx. Young, keen and eyed up by Liverpool and City. Immediate improvement over Gayle and Shelvey.

I reckon Bruce will be gone by Sunday. Conte? Gattuso? Howe? There's not many out of work who would be immediately obvious, so will they buy someone out of their contract? Can't see Jose jumping ship even though I've always thought he saw himself here one day. Some noises of Graeme Jones taking temporary charge which will stop the booing against Spurs but you would think they'll want some kind of party, which means new boss and manager both in place.

Never honestly thought we would see this. Unbelievable. Productivity tomorrow morning in Newcastle expected to be record low.

Hadn't seen the news all day, had some mates on Whatsapp rattling on about the Bein deal but didnt think anything else of it. Reading these Twitter posts by those who should be ITK, has really got my pecker twitching.

Murphy totally bottled it. Remind me how much he earns a week?
