Football news: Steve Bruce appears to make gaffe on TV after watching Newcastle beat West Ham

Steve Bruce poked fun at his controversial appointment as Newcastle United boss as he asked his coaching staff 'shall we f*** off now?' following victory over West Ham in China.

Bruce was forced to watch his new side from the stands due to issues with his visa having joined the club's pre-season tour on Thursday.

And after Newcastle ran out 1-0 winners in a poor game for both sides, Bruce was captured on television coverage making a hilarious gaffe to his assistant coaches.
