Social Zone: Steve Bruce gets the love he craves and Cristiano Ronaldo shrugs off his brilliance
Allan-Saint-Maximin and Steve Bruce
Allan Saint-Maximin's tribute to Steve Bruce was a nice touch, but should more Newcastle fans hold him in the same regard as Rafa Benitez? Stats seem to suggest so.
SOCCER: Often a man of many words, surely Cristiano Ronaldo has something iconic or inspirational to say after scoring the winner for Manchester United... no?
You did it again, @Cristiano... ?#UCL pic.twitter.com/zRkFIXfEbk

SOCCER: At least Steve Bruce will be missed by somebody on Tyneside after his Newcastle sacking...
You are, without a doubt, one of the most gentle people that I have ever met in the world of football. You have been a man of your word, a caring man and a fair man who never hesitated to protect us. I will never forget how you treated me, for that I will be forever grateful pic.twitter.com/lJgSL5GD4Q

SOCCER: One left a hero and a genius, one left a villain branded a "tactically inept cabbage-head." Perhaps you can see why Steve Bruce felt a little hard done by.
You’d have thought Benitez would be miles ahead of Bruce. ? pic.twitter.com/CL1Id70rZZ

SOCCER: Staying in the north east, Middlesbrough forward Duncan Watmore may be having a few nightmares about this miss for a while...

SOCCER: While on the topic of spectacular misses, take a look at this. Although depending on what he was aiming for, it could also be one of the greatest strikes ever...

SOCCER: If you don't ask - you don't get. And this Dortmund fan probably got more than he initially bargained for.

BOXING: After becoming the mandatory challenger for Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte has suffered a - coincidental - injury. It's like getting your parents to sign a sick note so you can skip sports class, only to go and sign up for a marathon.
After an MRI scan on his shoulder today and consultation with the specialist, unfortunately @dillianwhyte is not fit to fight on October 30. The show will proceed without Dillian and we look forward to seeing him back in the ring shortly ? pic.twitter.com/bEz0UOOTJ8
