Always wondered how Shearer felt about that too. Glad Ginola mentioned it in the Time of our Lives thing. Don't think I could watch that again, it's just too sad.

He's looking classy as ever there. Very disappointing the way his Newcastle career ended. In some ways he really only played for us for a season and a half... glad he still loves us though

that makes no sense at all Well he's bound to get it. Good bet imo

Dean Keates He helped my Kashima Antlers win back to back leagues in Champ Manager 2000. Look forward to seeing our goals

Mostly just glad/relieved he's finally got his first goal.

League stats. Plus highest league goals total for one season is 11 for both clubs too

what the hell? That's for real too... this is just a conspiracy now.

Funny league games stat: Oba Martins: Inter: played 88, scored 28 Newcastle: played 88, scored 28 I guess he delivered to some extent.

Always the same with Roma it seems... years go by nothing changes.

Of course Shevchenko scores against Inter

I'd be more annoyed if the name made any sense. It's unacceptable either way of course but this is marketing 101 surely: the name is too long, makes no sense, you get lost half way in it when reading it even. I can't believe they are consistently this retarded in their decision making... as said they must just be taking the piss now.

Every day this makes less and less sense

On current form: Umbro, their recent rebranding looks great. See current England and Man City shirts... lovely stuff. Plus always been an Umbro lover anyway. Would probably be better for the club if they stuck with Adidas but if we had to change...

No yeah, definitely. It's the fact this happened in supposedly the highest level of football that I find scary. These clowns might be calling stuff like this in the knockout stages next. There's an easy contrast for a potential case study in the very same game even! See Marseille's first. Again, three players offside but goal was perfectly valid and this time correctly given.

That second goal for Marseille was a disgrace. How they can allow that at this level is baffling. The three Marseille players didn't touch the ball, but clearly they are more than interfering: offside. Luckily don't think it would have changed anything concerning the outcome of the game.

Thought it was perfectly fine too at first, but some of the replays did show that Nolan didn't touch the ball at all.

Next Summer is definitely a scary prospect no matter what. If we go up, great, but we would need such a major overhaul and influx of quality (which most probably won't happen) to survive in the Prem. If we don't go up with we'll lose the players that make us better in the CCC and dig our heals in even deeper into this league. We just have to pray we get promoted and luckbox our way to surviving next season.

lol at the alterior motive of posting this. Similar, yet very different at the same time.

Part of the reason is that we a scraping to get back to where we were... so it might not feel like much of an achievement as such. Like losing at a casino and playing again just to win it back, if you do that's good and all, but you're only back where you started. Also the way events overlapped between this season and last it might be that every game is like on ongoing reminder of the club's failure. Plus all the stuff going behind the scenes of course.

The more I see it, the more I love that kit.

Shut up Shay.

YES! fuck me, Harper was on his game tonight!

We turned into Brazil there for a minute!!

That cross from Jonas He doesn't have a clue where he's sending that.

Ho ho ho ho ho !!! Will take that one thank you.
