Thought we played well. Just a few too many world class players to contend with. The only thing I'd question Pardew on is subbing Ben Arfa. I get why he did it - just not sure I agree with it. Other than that, a good effort and a fantastic season. We will still be in it on the final day (hopefully Villa can hold out for at least a point). They all looked gutted when the second goal went in. You can tell how much it means to the team. Love them all.

Can you imagine if he stayed and there was a stretch where both were on top form like we've seen at different times this season? Would be ridiculous.

I don't need a poll to tell me this is far and away the best football forum on the internet.

Surely it can be retagged as St James' Park? Not sure how to do it, but it must be possible. Just did it. Said changes will be made after it's reviewed. Probably not going to happen.

Any good places to get this season's third shirt discounted? Or do I need to wait another few weeks?

Maybe Puma was like "Holy shit, they're actually good. Better give them something a bit nicer." First impressions of away shirt - love it. Sponsor looks great.

Rewatching the game right now. Forgot about Williamson's vital interception a couple minutes before our first. First goal is so good... Colo puts Meireles on the floor > Ba > Cabaye > Tiote > Jonas > Santon on overlap > Cisse brilliance

Can't blame him. Imagine if a Kazan fan said Martins developed a brain or a West Ham fan said Nolan had a good engine.

Can't see it either. Given each team's fixtures, it really would be quite miraculous. Although I don't know why I'm still doubting things after this incredible season.

Think it's dreadful, even ignoring the tacky Kia badge.

Only reason I'm watching tbh.

On "the play."

If you're counting preseason it's close. It cant beat that fella from the American commentary, he was a legend. That was this year? This season, yeah. Back in July. We should have known that night this season would be one for the ages.

If you're counting preseason it's close.

Is there a difference between 5th and 6th in terms of where you enter the Europe League?

Getting overshadowed by others, but incredible signing.

Love his celebration after Cisse's first.

Santon.

He has scored so many great goals. Every time I see a replay of this one I just start laughing uncontrollably.

Dear god. What a player.

Cisse limping around after the whistle. Hopefully just a cramp.

Really? That's great Seriously? I missed that.

fuck my fucking word you motherfucking legend oh y god i love oyu.

GD is long gone. Not even worth worrying about anymore.

If it's more than 11 minutes added I'll be pissed.
