Let's see if there is a response or if the players have today off as well

@SkyBruce Championship this could be the most boring game of football ever

I don't know why but I fancy Newcastle here. I think Spurs will just set up to park the bus (bizarrely) which will just be asking for them to concede an 89th minute deflection. 

I know it's unlikely, but with the results they've had this season can see Tottenham finding a way to fuck this up.

Has anyone ever seen that Simpsons episode where there is a football match and no one crosses the half way line? It could be like that

Could easily lose but won’t park the bus in this one, it’s virtually impossible to do that against Newcastle because they don’t want the ball

[Honey Honey]

Lol at the lineup. Basically what has happened is we've panic shifted to something totally different and random. Pot luck if it works.

[Dave]

It really wouldn't be unlike Mourinho to show Steve Bruce too much respect and Newcastle go the next three games unbeaten.

Here we go. Let's see if "roll your sleeves up" still works in 2021.

Souness thinks Saint-Maximin shouldn't play because he's not a player for "in the trenches". Fuck me. Retire these dinosaurs.

Souness was out of touch when he managed Liverpool in 1994. Amazing he's blagged a job off his playing personality for so long.

Just raise the fucking flag

Deserved really.

Spurs

So lazy in defence there.

[Inverted]

The Bruce and Joelinton reaction shots really drove home the comedy factor.

[Stan]

Too easy for Kane. Can't give a striker like that so much space.

[Cicero]

Deserved really

The Newcastle player who came across the box and didn’t clear the ball away is a dickhead.

Should be credited with the assist for Kane.

[Honey Honey]

We knew we'd have a fair bit of possession in the first half against this lot given their 2006 attitude to football. You'd expect Mourinho's game management to see this out now.

Right back who isn't Premier League standard playing at centre back and is on the left of centre at the time of the goal. It's bad selection I'm afraid.

 

[Stan]

what a miss from Joelinton.

Spurs 

[Stan]

Go on you beautiful Geordies!

[Dave]

An Arsenal player scoring so late is the most Spurs thing I've ever seen.

[Stan]

Spurs have been so poor in the 2nd half though. Standard for them under Mourinho. Take the lead. Contain. Risky to do with a 1-goal lead. Concede. Reflect on what could have been if they had a better manager with good attacking players...
