Yeah agree with you.

We had a lovely HD picture on our Fire TV Stick, mind you I have wired it to a network switch.

Just as you said that they woke up and scored.

I know, I wish I could harness this incredible power I have.

You seem to be having a effect on Ole lately that is for sure.

Since Ole got the job only Liverpool and City have got more points than Utd, he's possibly doing better than given credit for.

Yes he is certainly doing better then the previous manager although l think to challenge the top 2 over a season l still think they need 3 more world class players at least.

Goalkeeper, Centre back and a midfield general.

Centre back yes, Dean Henderson has the time and the quality to make a top class keeper. Midfield is not a problem area IMHO with Fernandes, Pogba (with his head on) McTominay who is young enough to improve even more, even Fred has stepped up his game.

Not convinced about our fullbacks defensive positioning though.

I Wouldn’t swap Bruno for any other player in the Premiership on current form.

l like how you said Pogba (with his head on) as he has been there long enough to know the full score.

Not totally convinced with Henderson.

McTominay can he stay fit?.

Fred is too inconsistent but Bruno was a very good buy.

You are obviously not convinced by Shaw and Wan-Bissaka.

There is no better tackler one on one than Wa-Bissaka but he leaves a lot of room behind himself at times.

l agree and l am not too keen on the Centre backs as l think they paid far too much for Maguire who certainly does not convince me one iota.

This is looking ominously like a 1-0 win for Everton.

Steve Bruce, June 23rd 2020:

"Can we finish in the top 10?. That’s got to be our challenge. That would be a wonderful achievement, and that’s all I’m focused on at the minute.”

Steve Bruce, July 27th 2020:

"If someone said at the start of the season 'would you be happy to finish with seven teams below you?' we'd have taken that.

"But that's not enough. We want to push for the top 10 on a regular basis and not look over our shoulders."

Steve Bruce, October 31st 2020:

"We’d all love to be competing where the club was 20 years ago or whenever it was.

"But the way we are at the minute we have to accept that’s the way it is and try to keep moving inch-by-inch closer to what we’re trying to do – which is definitely finish in the top 10.”

Steve Bruce, December 23rd 2020:

"If you're a club like ours that expects to be in the bottom half of the Premier League, it's always tough.

"My remit is to make sure Newcastle remain a Premier League outfit, and that's what I'll try to achieve. That's where we've been for the last two or three years.

"Of course for Newcastle, in many people's eyes that isn't enough, but that's where we are."



Steve Bruce, December 26th 2020:

"We had a bad week, and some of the mass hysteria (from Newcastle fans) in my opinion was unjust, unfair, and a lot of it was not right in my opinion."

Steve Bruce, September 25th 2017:

"Of course here, at a club like ours, it turns into mass hysteria (from Aston Villa fans). A couple of bad results and all of a sudden it's the end of the world again.

Steve Bruce, August 26th 2011:

“It shows you how difficult it is up here. The mass hysteria (from Sunderland fans), I find some of it pathetic, to be honest."

- Steve Bruce 'The worst manager in Premier League history' repeating his antics of blaming anything but himself.
