Was sat right behind the goal for this one. Crackers. Set the tone for his first half a season.

Great shouts. That Norwich match was incredible.

1)Ben Arfa vs Bolton 2)Ben Arfa vs Blackburn 3)Ben Arfa vs Everton 4)Ben Arfa vs Fulham (H) 5)Ben Arfa vs Aston Villa Seriously though, Cisse's second vs Chelsea and Tiote's Arsenal leveller are both up there. Ridiculous. Yo Cabs' free-kick vs Man Utd at home was special. I also loved the Perez winner vs Brighton in the Championship, and Jonas' vs West Ham as 'moments'.

So strange, man.

In an absolute shambles of a formation: Krul Debuchy Colo Lascelles Enrique Cabaye Tiote Ben Arfa Remy Cisse Ba Honourable mentions to Dubravka, Schar, Sissoko, and Jonas (for sheer likeability rather than talent).

Just watched the highlights. It looked like we had the better of them most of the time, which is surprising but welcome. Miggy and ASM are never gonna score, though.

That was the joke though. The joke is the fact loads of idiots on football forums thought it was real Who in their right mind would think a fan would be so positive Pardew they would go to the trouble of dressing up and writing a placard supporting him Who in their right mind would think a fan would be so intent on wumming football forumers into thinking they liked Pardew so much they would go to the trouble of dressing up and writing a placard supporting him?

It's not his fault his STAR GEORDIE STRIKER was injured in the build up. It could all have been different.

It’s the sort of tackle you make where you don’t want to hurt yourself. Easy to use going for the ball as an excuse. Nonsense. https://twitter.com/mtkigz/status/1188480963673808897?s=21 That could have done his knee man. It wasn't at pace at all - it was the second part of the challenge. No real risk of harm other than a graze. Still pictures show nothing man. ON - you're looking for something that isn't there. That photo means absolutely nowt.

"Neves... Looks to be okay." You don't say?

Don't be stupod. The way Neves was rolling around there, man. What a prick.

THUMP! Unbelievable cross from Fernandez.

Really want Miggy to get that goal, man.

Thank god Steve abandoned his front-foot expansive game otherwise we might not be in this glorious position of setting new records.

From David Ornstein in The Athletic this morning. I reckon the Chronicle will get at least 5 pieces out of this. 'Ashley in Mexican stand off' 'Just who are the Orlegi Group' 'What exactly happened to Santiago Munez' 'The top 5 moments from Goal' 'Exclusive: The shocking age of Toon & Geordie star Matty Longstaff the year Goal came out'

You've got my vote Heza. I get why you've gone without a photo but I also think you should've put one up. I'd imagine you'll have enough support regardless but there'll be some weirdos who take umbrage at that.

How was that not a penalty?

Why can't the fans sing our godawful national anthem in time with the music? What a clip.

You.

Compared to the Brighton match this has been scintillating stuff.
