What a footballing weekend! And no NUFC to come a tarnish it. Glorious.

Been fascinated with Dortmund for a few years now. Positive football, and all round class approach to what being a football club means. It's what I wish NUFC aspired to be like. Especially in the aftermath of the whole Pardew ear.

I like the energy that Tottenham have about them. Sometimes it goes wrong, but respect to the mentality and they've had for years. We've had some tough trips at White Hart Lane.

Even we didn't concede more than 1 at West Brom.

If only they had 3 points fewer... They might have just about enough not to get dragged into it completely given the amount of bodies down there already.

Yeap, yeap, yeap. Registerino.

Possibly under Robson. Was attacking the Leazes end IIRC. Aye probably, typed Robson first but couldn't be sure. Attacking the Leazes rings a bell. Yeah, and I think that 03 home kit comes to mind, so must have been 03-04.

Pards for England again!

Even before today the title referred to league games only. Still a shame about this result.

Good stuff In.

Still out with the injury? Nice are playing against Bordeaux and Mathieu Debuchy tonight.

Nah, either way a fixture between two sides several leagues apart is class. Either the big team goes to play at the smaller ground and shittier pitch, or the smaller side goes to play in the big arena. Doing away with either would be a great shame and an even bigger devaluing of the competition.

With a nice couple of 4-0 defeats to Tottenham along the way

Aww, that's class. Great tribute

Maybe a tad, but meh... Messi can get away with anything really. Quite clever: gives Suarez the hat trick but whilst also bagging an assist. Great stat padding

Exactly... all the drubbings blend into one. Everyone just goes through the motions of what it means to be a professional footballer. Well, off the pitch anyway.

Think he'll get the chop in the Summer though. Except if we do get relegated. In a weird Mike Ashleyist logic I could see them keep him on if we go down and be the man for the lower division.

Apparently came from the stand behind the Marseille kekeper, so on the left from the TV view. But to answer the question... don't know

Nice v Marseille game halted for now. Too much smoke around inside the stadium. Such a shame wor Hatem is not a part of this.

At least he addressed it I suppose. (Lescott)

I just hope they cling on until the penultimate week so we can be the ones to send them down. http://www.themag.co.uk/assets/aston-villa-sob-on-the-tyne-banner-newcastle-united-nufc-650x400.jpg Will be pointless if we don't stay up, but maybe Ant and Dec can be sent to save them.

Sure, along with McLaren. But Aaron's is definitely worse

Criminal we didn't get all three points against them over Christmas
