Given Schar Beardsley Bruno Cole Shearer's a better striker than Cole, but can imagine Newcastle-era Cole doing better on a small crowded pitch, and linking up with Beardsley. Schar sweeping at the back and blasting it at goal when it comes back.

In a lot of seasons our rise would be the story of the season. Getting outdone by Arsenal and Brighton on that score. Memorable season!

They'll win it next year too with Emery.

Lovely stuff. Villa's rise is mad - just saw they're 6 points behind us. Credit to Emery.

Of course I can see a connection. Won't be able to see for myself though, since it'll all have stopped now cos of Mitro's 8 game ban.

I get that's horrible. But Mitrovic isn't the one doing that and nor his 8 game ban going to stop all. Putting the weight of all violence against referees on his shoulders is pretty weird imo. He was out of order, he was rightly sent off and think some sort of extension is reasonable. But it isn't at all proportionate - a deliberate dangerous tackle is actual violence with direct physical consequences, and that gets a three game ban.

8 games is ridiculous. That shove was not worse than a deliberate dangerous tackle that could break someone's leg.

Chelsea. Easily.

You're right actually, I regret Palace now. Swap them with Ipswich.

Cardiff maybe a bit weird, but think it's good to have a Welsh team in there. Could swap with Swansea. Official yoyo teams: Norwich, West Brom, Wolves, Southampton, Middlesbrough, Ipswich

Think it's a little bit soft cos I don't think he meant to hit his face. Kane annoying but any player would do that now.

I think I was at that match, but don't really remember it very much. I believe yous, but funny, doesn't sound anything special from the telly clips state of the defending for his goal.

These fucking 'not available in your location'. It's not even like there's an alternative source to view.

Got 5Live on, first fan of ours to call in is there to rant about Ten Hag not doing a good job ffs

ManU end empty there before the whistle

This has got a smash and grab for them written all over it.

Schar's poor head man

Nufc.com on Caldwell in that game

I know we'd already secured third, but state of that team Such a weak squad for when injuries and suspensions hit. https://www.nufc.com/html/2002-03html/2003-05-11westbrom-a.html

Yeah wore that away at PSV, amongst others. The one the year before with NTL Home was just the away kit, not a third kit I believe, which didn’t exist at the time. then they brought in the above as a European kit and we’ve had two away kits (or more sort of this year) ever since

Hampden is the best ground I've been to for home atmospheres at big games. Been to quite a lot as a Scotland fan. Scotland Italy to qualify for Euro 2008 might be the best atmosphere I've experienced (ending in 2-1 defeat).

I've never seen fans look so nervous 2 goals up with 2 minutes to go Get in

We’re in the big leagues now Scotland, 2 goals a game Joselu couldn’t even score one

Bring him home
