I don't feel silly no. After the loss against Brighton we looked nailed on. Something since then clicked and we got some good results with ASM and Wilson returning at the right time being a factor.

Something clicked. You mean what Bruce had been telling you all for ages that once he got his main players back you would be fine. Why can't you give him the credit? Something clicked ffs.

would you say “something since then clicked” was the explanation if Rafa was the manager? Or would you be falling over yourself to pipe him off for turning it around?

Why the completely different standards for the two men?

Benitez is a 61 year old has been who got 44 points and then 45 points before heading out to China to get thumped every week.

Bruce is not very good 60 year old who has just got 44 points and then 45 points as well. Gets treated very differently for doing a very similar job though.

Fulham still going to catch them lads?

I said no chance when Fulham were a point behind and had played a game more and got ripped to shreds.

gap is only 17 points as it stands

Well done mate. Seems like you're the only person in the history of football to get a prediction right. Time to crack open the champagne!

I'm not not giving him credit. Whatever clicked I'm sure he played a part in. Along with players returning it was a positive end to the season.

Aye, to be fair they were unlikely to win the games they needed but at the time we were just bereft and they had a few okay results. But ultimately they were pretty awful over the season.

Quite happy that he's done enough to earn another season.

With the dream team of Ashley and Bruce, they will have another season, just like the last two and keep us amused no end !

i thought it was only the deluded mags who thought they're a pair of charlatans. ashley's done a very good job there imo, and finishing 12th from a relegation battle is pretty decent work like. he's rank average as a manager is bruce but that is better than we've had since... well, pretty much since he left bar a few decent months out of alladyce
