Mark Albrighton Posted February 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 16, 2021 It’s win-win for me. Newcastle stay up, Bruce can do his “I told you all” boast, infuriating the supporters and pretty much guarantees that they’ll be serving up the same humorous side show entertainment for next season. Newcastle go down, aside from that being amusing in itself, the pundits who have had Bruce’s back all this time either back pedal significantly or perform the required mental gymnastics to make an allowance for relegation and why it’s no reflection on Bruce. I doubt a takeover happens in either scenario, so whichever one it is is fine by me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been brow-beating Newcastle fans with the "What do you want, Champions League? Bruce will keep you in the league which is all you can expect with this squad." line for a year now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough young talent in the area. Bruce can't be blamed for Geordie kids being crap at football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham play Sheff United on Saturday so could be down to 3 points by the time Newcastle go to Old Trafford on Sunday. Feels like a must win for Fulham if they are to catch them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
