Michael Chopra launches brutal attack on Steve Bruce after Brentford horror show

Former Toon striker Michael Chopra has ripped into Steve Bruce following our embarrassing League Cup exit to Brentford last night.

It was a similar story for Newcastle as we were outplayed for most of the game despite naming arguably our strongest team on paper prior to kick off.

Fan backlash has been loud on social media and an outspoken Chopra has got in on the act, claiming he has lost the dressing room while signing off his tweet with the #BruceOut hashtag.

Here is what he posted following that shambolic performance:

Many fans decided to ridicule the ex-Toon youngster for his involvement in the Bellanova Group fakeover rather than comment on what they saw last night.

I guess that sums up everything about our club under Ashley - a Newcastle that is divided and far from United.

Our season will now likely fizzle out into obscurity and yes, I do believe Bruce has the ability to steer us towards safety and guide us point by point to another year in the top flight.

But is that what we want though? Another year where nothing really happens, supporting a club with a hierarchy that is content for that to be the case.
