That 1-0 was the decider ultimately. Even taking into consideration the 3-4, 1-2 at Rovers, 3-3 at City afterwards...if we win that game v Man Utd which we should have done, that point we got at Forest would have won us the league. Yeah and Ferdinand's finishing in that game was poor.

Think 93-94 more than played its part in that, mind.

That's fair enough but it doesn't explain how we let a 12 points lead become a 4 point deficit.

There was one of them and Ferdinand missed chances. I'm not sure what you're getting at.

He could play injured, blindfolded and wearing lead boots and still be capable of competing with Raylor.

Commonly held views are quite often a load of nonsense. Ferdinand's decline in form was a big reason we gave up the 12 point advantage.

Well this just says it all. No wonder the club is crumbling with absurdity like this prevalent.

If there were such good athletes they'd be playing another sport. They're basically big men with good lungs on them. By this logic almost any old gym freak could be a top class rugby player That isn't true. Few 'gym freaks' have natural size and lung capacity. They're just idiots with too much time on their hands.

Sky Bet have 4/1 for Chelsea, Arsenal and Everton all to win tomorrow. Daft odds.

Justice. Though I'm sure they still publish the odd pile of nonsense.

Any chance of me ever grabbing a copy of The Mag again just evaporated.

As a footballer Santon is the best by a distance, yes.

Dummett's the best defender out of the 3 and I don't blame Pardew one bit for starting him with Santon injured or making mistakes.

An awful full back is one who contributes nowt going forward and costs you goals. That describes plenty of our lot over the years but not this lad.

It's in Sky's On Demand library. You may be able to download it from somewhere.

He's an awful defender and footballer who strikes a ball well. Sorry, but that's the truth.

Other than the obvious association with Pardew, I don't get the negativity towards him at all. He's a young lad relatively new to PL football who's looked very solid defensively and a goal threat. If he was brilliant on the ball in addition to those qualities he'd be at another club. The Steven Taylor comparisons don't wash either. He was costing us goals left, right and centre during his first 4 years in the team and arguably beyond.

Falklands is over mate, get over it I just couldn't be bothered running the risk of spelling his name wrong.

That pretentious Argentine arsehole will let us win again.

Jovetic actually gave the worst performance I've ever seen from a player costing over £10m tonight. Everything he did was wrong.

Christ have this lot wasted an incredible amount of money.

He's a good defender. I'm not sure where his final position will be but I think he'll be our starting LB for the duration of Pardew's tenure.

3 minutes.

Shearer was retired, actually. I'm pretty sure he was playing. It was against Chelsea. I know it was. He may have been playing in spirit but he was retired.
