Guest Milburnthedog Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 You can go back in time (its harder for wishes to be granted going forward, cos we're Newcastle United see!!) and you can either add one goal or take one of the oppositions goals away for ANY match you want. The final score will end up with the goal added or removed. The 'goal' can be at any time during the match (if that matters). So which match and why? For me, I'll be negative and take away Cantona's in the 0-1 defeat back in 96. The match would have ended 0-0 and we'd have kept Man U at arms length. I'm convinced that without that win we'd have become Premership Champions that season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rosstoon Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Would have made sure that Robson was appointed straight after keegan. God knows how good we would be today if this had happened Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J7 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Poyet's goal in the FA Cup semi. We would have went on to win that game I reckon had he not destroyed our confidence again so soon after the Lee goal. Then we would have beaten Villa in the final no doubt about it.

Beren Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Not necessarily my choice, but a good candidate would be another goal against either AZ or Sportin Lisbon when we faced them on our Uefa Cup runs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 That Sporting defeat will always rankle me. Fucking Souness. We were cruising, then three injuries [and concomitant subs] later and Zog dislocates his shoulder, as I recall! >.< Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 How about the Gronkjaer goal that put Chelsea in the 2003/2004 Champions League ahead of us and brought them to Abramovich's attention? Being more selfish, Michael Thomas in '89. Shit goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
