Spurs VAR'ed in stoppage time. Lovely.

that's true, its only after a defeat at Sheffield United in his second season not his first does he start doing it his way and only then can he be judged

Weird how I'm nervous following Norwich v Palace's closing stages when haven't been nervous about a game of our own for years until recently.

down to 9th ffs he's wasting no time is he?

Absolutely nowt to do with us....but still nice to see Southampton winning there. Had lines Levy.

Palace goal

For their self preservation Leeds need to think about comprimising their principals. Have the better of nearly every game but so flimsy defensively.

Foot off the gas for Sunday Brummie please

Yep. It'll make a change to see someone else in the PL instead of West Brom yo-yoing every other season, in the interests of fairness to a Blackburn or Boro or Forest. More refreshing product. Cos of Bruce.

West Brom down to 8th as stands

Is he the only manager (including Lampard in 2 games) not to have won this season?

How yee. The East Stand was the original big flag stand.

Can build your hoose on this bloke. Solid as a rock, in an understated way, only to at some point realise 'Trippier has been flawless again'. Like during the slight injury concern. My blood runs cold at the thought of it.

Or forward to the 70s in their case

F**k me I love this club.

The working title for last seasons season review

Was nervous second half - but really thats just because its us, a howler, referee error, goal from the half way line, I'm paranoid about any illogical misfortune striking us at any moment plus our perilous league situation - so didn't enjoy it until after the third then finally some breathing space, not just this game but this season. Bit of credit to Shelvey if for nothing else than not getting sent off, felt we'd be lucky to get to the hour without that. ASM effervescent and Trippier so understatedly good. Seems ages ago where we wondered if we'd ever get the buzz back. This time last year I couldn't have cared less if we got relegated. Now nerve ridden as f**k until the game is in the back and cant stop smiling after. Very reminiscent of the Boro game in 09, quick response to going behind, dominate second half, miss a few chances, score, then clinch it.

Ah yes, the secada of point scoring. Rears its ugly head from underground where everyone else forgets it exists, and even they avoid the fact, once every generation to briefly be on top of someone only to wilt and die into insignificance after the mating frenzy. Same goes for the secada's.

Just seen the "Newcastle will be world power - Guimaraes" headline flicking the telly on just there. Difficult to articulate my feelings, blood rushed from my head to my loins at the time, but the last 12seconds of this sums up my thoughts on it and is actually what I said, out loud, to nobody.

Most of the last few games a write offs. Didn't need this.

VAR would have a look at that now and ruin the moment

The change of manager to anybody awoken something awful in me about this. Probably make do with a point now and even then its going to be tense torture. To think a year ago all the interest I had was seeing how low our possession stats would be. Halcion days.

Remember it like it was yesterday. Heard about it at lunch and went into school with a spring in my step.. Despite having not been around for Keegan the player or being in Newcastle something in the air changed, the atmosphere around the club. Maybe it was the first time the club had really tried in my time. It was one of those February days where the sun shone and it was quite mild and it felt wrongly like summer was closer than it really was, certainly that the worst of winter was behind us. Upstairs in English big open windows over looking the school, fields and into the distance and various other true melodramatic metaphors. Replicated and nowhere near matched many times since.

"Newcastle is gone. It's a chapter of my football life. I want them to do well under Eddie. In a few years they might think finishing 12th and 13th mightn't have been so bad after all." classless snidy c**t has the edge to boast about this whilst were still trying to scramble out of the s**t he put us in by not winning a single one of his largely winnable nine games this season and leaving us with a literally unfit squad of players. If we go down it'll be largely his fault and I consider that quite bad as it happens Bruce. C*nting c*ntly c**t of a c**t that he is.

Like you said Birmingham was through the play-offs where they finished in the same posistion as they did the previous season (with less points and via a penalty shoot-out). He also relegated the two clubs he got promoted and failed to achieve that at Villa, Huddersfield, Sheffield United, Sheffield Wed and Palace but nevermind. Just read "He had a 27.4% win percentage from 84 league games at Newcastle, the ninth best compared to previous Newcastle managers who had been in charge of at least 20 matches in the Premier League era" - How many do they think we've had that fall into that category? I've only counted 10 including Bruce.
