Another thing to remember is that Everton went to the SoL in 2016, with us needing them to not lose to take it to the last day. The duly capitulated and put in one of the most spineless performances I’ve seen. We could see losing to Burnley as returning that favour.

The sour irony of the Burnely game is that all the attributes of Howe that we value so much, namely his professionalism, will dictate that we go there without a thought in our minds of underperforming. Impossibly, we will know what's it's like to miss Bruce as manager.

Did I read on here or somewhere else that there was supposedly an incident involving him, Duncan Ferguson and a bouncer?

Think Leicester would be right to think they deserved at least a point.

0-0

Would we simply awful going to Burnley on the final day knowing the result could relegate a supposed big club

Sexual ones with me if Bruno is game thanks

If we ever have a favourite ever Newcastle United attempted murder thread, I nominate Batty choking Butt

Spurs

Middlesbrough on the first midweek was pretty special.

Unless I’ve missed it, it’s interesting that no games from 95/96 have been mentioned. Is that season All Pain in our minds now?

Yeah, on sky. Hughes got the first I seem to remember. And you’re right about Dyer’s- it was a beauty.

Away wasn’t it?

Few mentions of the 4-3 at Leeds. The 3-0 there the year after was also superb. We truly felt like one of the big boys that day. Utterly dominant. I loved the game when we beat them 3-1 at home and Mills got sent off too.

Yeah, that's the one, Saturday evening

An obscure one I suppose, and not exactly my favourite, but after a fucking awful summer in 2009, shola scoring a well worked third against Sheffield Wednesday. I specifically remember a woman lifting her kid up in the front row to celebrate. It was such a wholesome image and the whole mood seemed to have lifted as we realised it might be a piss easy league after all.

If anything they should be rewarded

Newcastle played at Ewood very close to the end of the season. May Day I think. Blackburn were visibly nervous and we should have won, but they scraped a 1-0. Some bloke called Shearer scored their goal

Yeah, which was pretty terrible in fairness

Think Jones deserves a bit of credit. People forget that we had basically written off the games against Palace and certainly Brighton, who were going great at the time

A little early for that, no?

They are truly awful

Was in the home end that day. Realising their late equaliser had been disallowed before they had was the type of moment that reminds you why you bother with football. I got to tell them, and of course made a big show of being as gutted as they were

They would also be a new club, which is always nice until November, at which point it becomes boring.

I think I said yesterday that sky stuck with it too, seemed to stay with the lap of honour for a long time. Haven’t really noticed them do that before, looks like they’re buying into things. A good Newcastle United is good for them too I suppose
