What a save from Yann Sommer.

Looks very nice IMO.

Aye 8 goals this season(10 in all comps). Ridiculous for a 38 year old.

Can’t believe Joaquin is still playing.

Really hope this guy gets it together.

Player and club deserve each other.

Deportivo Saprissa vs Limon from the Costa Rican league on tonight at 10pm US time on ESPN 2.

Brilliant header from Klostermann to get Leipzig level. Leipzig - Hertha Berlin for those who may not know.

Why? It only benefits the bigger clubs and just encourages bloated squads and stockpiling. We will be rich as fuck, so it will be ideal for us. Even if we are I see the bigger picture. Would be bad for the game. Yeah. More I think about it, three is solid, simple.

Wouldn’t mind if this five sub rule stuck further tbh.

Omg!!

He’s massive, isn’t he? His positional awareness is really good.

We got a German co commentator over here. His English isn’t great, though.

That hustle from Davies was unreal.

What a clearance by the Dortmund defender!!

Bayern keeping it really tight.

Another away win. Augsburg tearing Schalke apart 0-3.

That shot that just hit the post.

Thought Muller was on the decline but he’s currently top assists provider in the Bundesliga with 16 along with 10 goals in all comps. Resurgence.

Lillian Thuram’s son is very very good.

Pardew above Rafa? I accept we finished 5th under him one season, but in view of his whole tenure I'm surprised you remain so positive. We played good football for only really one season, and only in spells. The beginning of 13/14 we got some good results, but I can't remember it being exactly good to watch. He oversaw some of the bleakest days in the club's modern history. Roeder was OK I think. Did really well salvaging what he inherited from Souness in 2006 and finishing 7th was miraculous - played some good football near the end too. Didn't receive the same kind of financial backing Souness was afforded once made permanent manager (Duff always seemed to me a Shepherd signing, and one who only curtailed N'Zogbia's development) and had to rely on loans and freebies, Rossi, Sibierski, Olivier Bernard's return lol. Considering our back four in 06/07 was some combination of Stephen Carr, Peter Ramage, Paul Huntington, David Edgar, Craig Moore and Celestine Babayaro I'd say he did well to even keep us up that year, especially with the injuries. Just enjoyed thenplayers we had. The midfield and attack were combative and deadly. The subs annoyed me, the starting 11s were just braindead but it was the best football we played in 10 years. A lot of Rafa was just tense and hanging on. I didn’t think we could beat anyone. Rafa, the genius he is, got the points but the matches were painful. I am being hard on Roeder. 06/07 was a crappy squad. Totally right about Duff. Stunted. N’Zogbia. It was so annoying seeing a talented player on the bench when he had won games for us at 18. The Alkmaar loss annoys me. We should have gone theough. Threw away a two goal lead.

1. Kevin Keegan 90s - manager when I first started supporting Newcastle. 2nd place 5-0 Man U 2. Bobby Robson - wish I got to watch football more during this. Caught the tail end of his tenure. When I moved to America, I was dirt poor and didn’t have cable or internet. Followed Newcastle through Fifa 2002. Wish I got to see the Feyenoord game you guys are always talking about. 3. Alan Pardew - controversial but I enjoyed the football under him(not through his tactics or him personally), it was the players of course). But I felt like we could win any game we went into because of the players we had. We had some really good games and I remember them fondly. 4. Rafa- Just the fact that he took the job. What a gent. Got us back up, two excellent finished with dross signings. Annoyed he left for China but he’s got standards. Can’t hate him for that. 5. Glenn Roeder - never had faith in the guy. Felt like that 7th place finish was the character of the team at the time. Kind of like how Chelsea won the Champions League with Di Mateo. 6. Chris Hughton - Thanks for getting us back up but never felt like he knew what he was doing. Do kind of like Bruce. I’m pleasantly surprised that we’re not in a relegation battle. Do hope the takeover goes through and we upgrade of course. Don’t count the other ones.

Not a fan of his. Seems content to play for us no matter what division we’re in. Slow and ponderous on the ball. 28 but you’d swear he was 34-35. We should look for an upgrade on him.
