Chaser

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?

Still more goals in this. Pleasantly surprised with the performance.

Great player but injury prone unfortunately. We don't seem to have much luck with strikers, the good ones are always crocked and the shit ones never end up with a scratch.

Is it any surprise?

What do we want, Bruce to do well and all to be rosy in SJP or do we hope that the squad isn't strengthened, the team struggles for points and Ashley finally calls time on Bruce? Ultimately I want Ashley to throw the towel on and disappear.

It's a hard watch at the moment, wanting us to win on one hand but wanting us to lose on the other, just to put a modicum of pressure on Bruce to get kicked.

Passes which the attackers can run on to have to be improved. Too many times it's ball into feet and then they can't do anything with it or it stifles the pace of the attack. Maxi and maybe Ronaljonjo are the only ones who seem to be able to see that kind of pass.

To be fair, I think it's been a bit daft the amount of attention he's received as if he's a superstar signing. He's a decent young player, good attitude, works hard in attack. Somehow feel that all those goals might weigh a bit heavy this year.

Would have been a peach of a backheel if that had come off.

Aside from Lejeune, the other three were just useful for keeping the seats warm..

Mike's put a bid in for Messi. £10k a week, a share of Brucie's lifetime supply of Tudor cheese & onion and a £5 voucher from Gregg's. "At least we tried".

In today's crazy money, he's still not worth £100mil. But City know he will sell shirts so they can afford to pay more than he's worth. Danny Ings to Villa for £25mil looks to be a good bit of business.
