Looking forward to the October Goal Of The Month brought to you by Mo Sarah.

You've been spending too much time on Nelson Street Gnom.

I mean, a goal on his first appearance of the new season indicates Rashford is still good at football. Manchester United's problems seem to be at the other end judging by the result and highlights.

Man United surely gonna be sniffing around for Bruce to replace Ole. He is an amazing manager according to all his mates in the media and former player, perfect fit!

At this rate bruce will be at newcastle longer than ole is at united.

I'm no fan of not giving managers time but you look at Chelsea vs Man Utd. Both started last season with club legends in charge, Chelsea were on course to maybe sneak 4th in front of Leicester and there was an argument there to give Lampard more time. Instead Abramovich spots a top class manager available, goes out and gets him, wins the Champions league and are now top this season. Man U surely have to go after Conte whilst he's available.

Genuinely, surely if Ole goes you lot will be calling for Bruce to take charge?

Mendy was class tonight, best goalkeeping performance I have seen for a while.

Whilst you can argue united to change the manager, conte is certainly not the answer. His record at champions league level is as woeful as ole's.

As if United have set it alight the last ten years. Turning your nose up at a world class coach is hilarious. Ole in!

I would of thought if he was a world class coach, his record at champions league level would be better.

United have had 2 ex chelsea managers, both have been utter dog shit.

Indeed, have had many a good night out there. 

Not really a good time to be sacking managers unfortnately. But Utds defence is so bad and with Atalanta (who love attacking) and Liverpool next week I think its inevitable. Could be two messy results.

Actually going to watch a Newcastle match today (on TV) Shame clueless Bruce will most likely spoil the day though.

Dont think so. Its frightening how easy it is for teams to go from box to box.

Fan down in the crowd at the toon. Players off the pitch just before half time.

Bruce has to go after the match.

I didn't see it clearly at first, but that was a pretty unsettling and shocking incident. Early Tweet from Newcastle is that fan is stable and en route to hospital, so hopefully he'll be OK. And fair play has to go for Spurs players who spotted it and helped speed up the process of getting the fan help.

Ah, thought you'd couldn't have been, absolute black hole for signal in there.

Shambles again, Bruce must go tonight, need someone in to sort these players out. Lots of the squad are not good enough too (no surprise when most played in our Championship season 5 years ago.

 

Fitness levels are a worry, no surprise though when Bruce gives them so many days off.
