I'd say Jose but whatever.

Michael Johnson. Is he still there? If not then no, nothing.

his underratedness was overrated.

Makelele-syndrome.

wasn't Steven Taylor called up to a prelimary squad a few years a go? That's about as close as a Newcastle defender has got recently.

to be honest I only started to appreciate just how good Beckham is towards the end of his career. I use to think he was overrated when he was at Man U. I now know he wasn't.

I think one side represents the grey hairs he experienced from his first 2 stints in charge of us, and the other is the present. The question is will it ever be completely grey?

once again, every single player was magnificent. Couldn't be more proud of them!

GET THE FUCK IN CARROLL YOU LEGEND

Barton doing his best do disspell those Hitler allegations.

Aye, I refer to all of my mates by their Second Names as well maybe they have a very formal relationship? "Morning, Mr Nolan." etc.

"I can't believe Carroll has brought these girls back to my house" made me chuckle.

I'd still take 17th, not because I don't have confidence in the team to do better but because staying up has to be the main aim for this season.

yeah, especially here: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/10/21/article-1322481-0BB55EA9000005DC-58_634x411.jpg

what about Tim Cruel or Mike 'Myers' Williamson?

love the fact MOTD ended with a still of Nani and Thriller playing in the background. Someone at the BBC has a sense of humour.

22.45 i think bbc 1 22:25

it helps having tall guys like Carroll, Ameobi and Williamson to aim for.

about 50 riot police in the Bigg Market right now and a helicopter circling above. Just saw Count Dracula and a bloke dressed as Thriller Michael Jackson being constrained by policemen.

Williamson was very good today as well, always looked composed.

What about Shola? well, if Kevin Davies gets in I don't see why not!

Carroll, Barton and Nolan for England!

had a shaky start but after that was pretty flawless. Another great performance to add to the ever-growing collection.

can't wait to relive the whole experience on MOTD2. Soooo proud of the players, every one of them.

I agree, he was outstanding. Probably the best I've seen him play, he just looked so up for it.
