Hi, Newcastle fan here - we’re getting grief from all corners for our supposed treatment of Super Steve, which in reality amounted to a few chants of ‘Bruce Out’ at matches now that fans have been allowed back in and a sizeable amount of grumbling on forums like this.

Given that both Villa and The Toon, as well as Sunderland for that matter have been victims of him sucking the life out of our clubs, what can possibly justify the almost blanket defence of him as being a supposed great manager, great bloke, lucky to have him etc. etc.?

Most people who bother to post on the Footy Mad sites have a spent a reasonable period following their clubs and yet journalists, pundits, ‘experts’ and the like are telling literally hundreds of thousands of fans across the globe attached to the three clubs I mentioned above that none of us have a clue what we’re talking about when it comes to Bungle Bruce. You couldn’t write it, but they actually have.

Just wondering how you guys think on this one, of course I’m just a deluded Geordie who expects to win the league, champions league, FA Cup League Cup and the Olympic gold for figure skating every year so I haven’t got a clue what I’m talking about…
