That's good to hear Smug and my heart bleeds for all those nice people up at NE1. It's a bit like watching a TV soap opera.
Slumbering quietly, rolled up in the garage, but stirring softly ... ... will 'Toony' soon be yawning & stretching and dusting himself down? Too early yet but Brucie is working his magic at his boyhood club, uniting the fans and bringing the best out of his players. Sleep little one, your time will come
Seems Smug was right again about Newcastle Danny Mills has suggested that Steve Bruce is treating the Newcastle United players like children after it was reported that he cancelled training on Monday in the wake of the 5-0 demolition at the hands of Leicester. According to a report by the Guardian, Bruce was so furious with his squad that he did not want to see them the day after the defeat at the King Power and ordered players to stay at home and not turn up to training. Although Sky Sports pundit Mills understands that it remains to be seen whether or not Bruce’s approach will work, he has claimed that the Magpies boss is basically giving his players the cold shoulder in a similar way that a parent would to a naughty child.
Going back to the Mags, I've a bit of a clan in Chopwell who are lifelong supporters. One went to Wembley in 1955! They're well connected and often tip me off about Mag related info. They were saying the players and Bruce had a massive slanging match after the game. I'll admit I have just a little sympathy for Bruce with this. He's at his boyhood club, and wants to do his best, but the players couldn't care less. It seems they're copying the supporters and sulking for Rafa. My 'clan' think Bruce brought in Carroll to help win the players round but they're just not having it. Sunday should be interesting.
