Piss-taking aside, has to be the 5-1 for me - felt like being in a dreamlike state for about an hour during play. I imagine that's what good drugs are like. Sadly wasn't there in the flesh for the Barcelona 3-2, the Man Utd 5-0 and the Feyenoord 3-2 so can't really pick them. /armchairsupporter

What about Newcastle 4—3 Leicester (February 1997)? You know, when Stephen Spence set up Shearer for the winner?

Stunningly basic.

I don't want another half an hour of this.

Yep. Paul Chow would've had a hat-trick here, ffs.

Genuinely though, think he's looked pap that shimmy for the chance aside.

Was waiting for that post about Phillips

Anya and Zaha the only two looking like creating something so far, little Williams hasn't been too bad either. Wholly uninspiring stuff overall.

Fully expected though, main striker's missing. Scored 40% of their goals if the stats from the pre-show were right, Wilbraham hasn't scored since August and you can definitely tell Oh aye but they're making Holloway out to be some sort of genius because he's missing his main goal threat that he's having to tighten it up. Despite his allegiances I quite like Don Goodman so I'll let him off Think he's the best co-commentator about.

Agreed. Think Vydra's knackered.

Think he's been used as an impact sub recently, could be wrong.

Bench.

I'm supporting Watford, mainly just because of GG from here. Don't know any Palace fans

Scored 9 in 29 for Caen in L2 back in 09/10 if ESPN is right, didn't do much in between those two purple patches but was playing in L1/CL or not at all by the looks of it.

25 years old, seems to have been constantly out on loan to ligue 2 sides since 2009 and even then barely played He's free though, innit?

Souness is embarrassing, knows fuck all.

Douglas is, there's also Virgil van Dijk from Groningen who we've been linked with in the past.

Frothing at the rear gash for this, particularly in this heat.

Linked with Marseille again and appears to have got Willie McKay as his new agent: http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2013/05/25/61634-33381356/#ixzz2UIfcupav

Anyone else? Been fine for me this morning.

Could give an idea of the type of centre-half we'll be going after this summer, if nothing else.

So put into context it isn't really that negative, fair enough. What was the full quote around 6ft 4" players? "We need to have more dominance in that area and it's all well and good saying the set play problem is down to tactics, delivery or whatever. Ultimately you need 6-foot-4 in this division to go and head it in or at least get first contact on it to head it across the box and we've not had that all year."
