Shola went off injured after 25 minutes.

Dyer's was at home to Olympiakos.

Wonderful from Berbatov there.

Probably Enrique's poorest game for a while and yet still nothing got past him. Him and Beye both had to sit a little deeper, as you'd expect away from home and neither put a foot wrong defensively. Folk think he's slow as well but he didn't look it when all Johnson could do to stop him pulling away was hack his legs from underneath him.

James made some good saves but some horrendous ricks. Got lucky with the bounce a couple of times or Oba would have had chance to shoot. Harper was spot on again I thought. There probably are but not fairly imo. Carson, Robinson and Kirkland are total clowns.

Away from home, usually we look brittle, our passing is consistently poor and we tend to create little. That's all changed. Still early days but even so, it's very refreshing.

With the benefit of hindsight, we should have won but it's a terrific point regardless. Not many teams go to fratton park and dominate the game. Little bit more quality in the final product and we'd have won comfortably. Geremi is so frustrating, i think he's a cracking little player even if he is getting on a bit, but his crosses go from the sublime to the ridiculous. Still threw a lot of quality balls in imo. Good squad player for next year.

We're going into our derby match next Sunday having scored 10 and conceded 0 in our previous two matches. OK, they were against a relegated team and a struggling one, but the noses must be getting a bit worried now. We've scored 4 goals or more in an away match on 4 occasions this season. I love away games, me. Hope you fucking twat them.

Nice kick in the nads for the mackems going into next week

Bolton better fucking go down like. Horrible little club.

Reading are right back in the shit now like. Lucky for them they've got Derby on the last day.

As long as Duff doesn't get on the pitch, I'm not that arsed.

Every time Derby play it makes me happier that we sacked off that fat cunt.

It's from Brian Reade in the Mirror btw.

Wenger's been a victim of his own success this season with the flack that he's getting at the moment. At the beginning of this season, quite a few were tipping them to drop out of the top four having lost Henry and being in transition a little bit. Now he's gotten more out of those players than anyone expected but it's not quite been enough to win the Premiership or the Champions League (because that's dead easy) and it's somehow open season for everyone to have a go at him.

Why on earth would he give up being captain of Villa to come to Newcastle? This thread is so cringe-worthy with regards to names being banded about. I like the way some people STILL think of him as somewhat of a left back, every time he's mentioned. Hasn't played there for about six or seven years and the bloke himself wouldn't even entertain the idea tbh. Your point is also very valid.

indeed. That goal was slightly better than decent. Bet you there's 2 or 3 better goals scored every month in the Premiership, at least. Yeah it's a great goal but because it was the final and because it was Zidane, it's made to be better than it was. I mean look at this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/sports_talk/1990830.stm Greatest ever goal in Europe? Was it bollocks.

It's a while since i've been as stunned by the quality of a goal in such a huge situation as theo's the other night. Fantastic, pity about the following two minutes. Never understood the bumming of zidane's goal in the final like. Decent strike but world class? Nah.

Spoils my weekend nicely, cheers Sky.

Newcaslte is voted one of the world's top 10 party cities Out of interest, is that above london? On one poll I read a night out in Newcastle was voted the best thing to do in England, above sightseeing in Oxford in 2nd and surfing in Newquay in 3rd. There was 10 on the list and I'm sure this was in a half-respectable paper/magazine. It's shit man, and I love the place.

Used to be Henry but I never see him now so not as much. Probably Ashley Young. I quite like Tevez as well though, despite the horrible team he plays for.

Spurs though the only ones I've got any time for are Arsenal. Offering your opinion on sunderland when you're not from the area is pretty pointless tbh.
