    Again this is all irrelevant to the discussion point. Which was did he throw ASM under the bus? No he didn't. You could argue he threw Shelvey and Longstaff under the bus, although he didn't actually name them, it doesn't take rocket science to work out that crap quality supply from midfield means those two.

    Please remind me (the jackanory) what position ASM plays please. And then explain to me why he wouldn’t come deeper to get the ball. Is that because he’s not a striker?

    Please also provide me stats as to why I am wrong about Steve Bruce being a bad football manager:

    Bollocks mate...Bruce is looking for a scapegoat plain and simple! If he didn’t pick lazy arsed ****ing no marks week in week out players like Almiron and ASM would be able to be deployed in their preferred positions. Therein lies Brucey’s next conundrum in that he hasn’t got a ****ing clue where they are best deployed. This is the guy, the very same guy who picks Joelinton week in week out, refuses to drop Shelvey, puts Hendricks in the team ahead of others and thinks that Jacob Murphy is a ****ing right wing back! His decision making is ****ing laughable. He’s got lucky in so many more ways than one this season. The team has picked itself on occasions as have the subs he’s had to work with but **** me he’s made some absolute howlers! The luckiest fact of all being that he’s had the luxury of playing at home and serving this ****e up to us whilst we’re sat at home watching it (those who can bring ourselves to of course) as opposed to being in the ground baying for his ****ing blood! Sheffield Utd can’t come quick enough for me, I hope he’s having ****ing nightmares about it already and I hope he has 12500 geordies ripping him a new one and giving it to him with both barrels...it’s nothing more than he deserves and it’s long overdue!

    I would quite happily break my self imposed SJP exile and buy a ticket for that ****, I really would! Knowing our lot they’ll probably close the Milburn Stand so nee ****er can get within earshot of him!!

    Again irrelevant to the point at hand. I also think Bruce is poor football manager and I can present the stats to prove it too. So I can't really show you any stats otherwise because I don't think you're wrong about that. But then I've never said that so this appears to be another irrelevant question.

    Lets stay on point. He still didn't throw ASM under the bus did he? That's the thing actually being discussed. He actually defended him by saying he got crap quality ball or no ball, went looking for the ball to make something happen. The fact you want to ignore that in favour of telling us how bad a manager is, I can't really help with that.

    For information ASM plays largely as an attacking midfielder/forward. So as a manager you'd like him to largely be playing in the last third of the pitch. There will be occasions he will be deeper. I'd say however it stands to reason you get most out of them when you have them operating closer to the opposition goal.

    This is all irrelevant to the discussion point. That is did he try to scapegoat ASM? No he didn't. If anything he scapegoated Longstaff and Shelvey by accusing them of forcing ASM to come deep because of their crap supply line.

    He's been talking again. Dust himself down this time (literally said it).

    I wouldn't look for it, it's just typical self-pitying horseshit.

    It’s empty. He’s already drank it.

    He won two and drew two. So for us that’s good.

    To be fair I liked his comment on the award. Giving all the praise to the players and staff. Fat Sam would have said "Of course I've won it I'm ****ing brilliant"
