He's not a mackem though, right? He just managed them for a couple of years.

That's brilliant.

Yes!

Malaga. They're bottom of the league

We'll struggle to get 5 points in 7 games? Nah.

Found an enjoyable retrospect of this game here: http://www.planetfootball.com/nostalgia/forensic-analysis-newcastles-7-1-demolition-spurs-december-1996/

Incredible goal.

Impossible, but of the ones I saw as they were scored, off the top of my head: Shearer 1-0 v Spurs (in the 7-1) Shearer 4-3 v Leicester Shearer v Spurs, FA cup semi Robert 3-1 v Arsenal ("end of the London curse") Nobby 4-3 v Leeds Tiote 4-4 v Arsenal Cissé breaking the laws of physics v Chelsea Tino's goals v Barca are great memories too.

Pards

Cissé was sensational that spring. Scored every time he touched the ball. It was like we'd signed the best striker in the world. Then he was Pardewed.

11th, I’ll take that. Rafa should be Manager of the Season if so.

Aye, that's the thing that has stood out most for me - must be an absolute b****** to play against, the way he gets right in the opposition's faces. Bit like peak Tiote but without the constant fouls. That's intelligence/reading the game IMO

I've always liked him, and I'm delighted that he's found this kind of form.

Yeah, he’s looked very good so far. Confident, calm, good at claiming crosses, good with his feet, good reflexes. GOOD

What an absolute twat. He’s basically saying he’s not to blame and that the players aren’t good enough for him.

YEEEEEEEEES

Diame is a beast.

They are a Jose Mourinho team. Horrible to watch. FYP

Same team as v Man U, right?

If we lose it'll be the perfect time for Dave to "mess with the server" (as described in other thread).
