What a boy!

[chrishlcfc]

That was a brilliant game of football. Leeds were excellent offensively and really didn’t deserve to lose, never mind

[Mrfox452]

Will always have a soft spot for Harvey...also 100th minute and it's a full crowd. Gotta give it to the geordies

Seeing Barnes do well is the most gut wrenching of the lot. It's like watching your 10/10 first love go off with a bloke you could never be whilst you're stuck on Viva Street.

Wow !

Almost Keegan like from the 90s.

Newcastle Leeds one of the best games I've seen in years, proper end to end football and poles apart from the risible dross we've seen from us this season.

Can’t work out if it’s a leg break or ACL. Terrible either way.

His face was a picture of knowing he'd done something really bad.

Matheus Mane's first touch and finish for us tonight was absolute class. Only 18 but still gonna be a few interested in him in the summer unfortunately I reckon.

Still find it amazing he never played a game for Rochdale, especially the level they were at. Think he was just 17 when he left so age might have been a factor, but still! Only one appearance on the bench!

Analogy needs work since they aren't close to us at our prime, but I agree it is more painful than Madders or Youri for example.

 

I think it's more like seeing her leave with some younger lad you sort of know and is OK but he's totally unremarkable. Meanwhile you're laying in your own piss.

With a younger lad who just won the lottery while you’re lying in your own piss about to declare bankruptcy…..

Fulham and Sunderland being three points away from a Champions League is mad.

 

Even if they fall away,  there is still a possibility of other team going on a run to keep at Liverpool's coattails if they continue to drop points.

Did the beeb start putting MOTD highlights on their website this week? Never seen them before.

Been there all season .

 

Often from 8 each Saturday/Sunday .

There does seem to be a new team up in 5th every week but this season more than any other must surely put the nail in the coffin of Brentford ever losing a manager again. The manager at that club feels almost unimportant.

[Bert]

Looks like the refs had a tough evening.

Every time I look at the league table you see someone from mid table back near the Champions League places again. Not to long ago Fulham were nearer the bottom but now they're 3 points off of Liverpool in 4th. Same applies to Everton and Brighton, they go from 8th to 14th and back again.

 

The league looks so open for the Champions League spots again. Shaping up nicely. .

 

I do hope Sunderland or Fulham can get into Europe via the league.

Everton got a case here maybe that both could have been red cards ?

 

Seemed to be a lot of penalty incidents too .

Get him in the England squad. Pricks

He's comfortably better than Gordon and I've held that opinion for ages...cannot understand what AG actually offers. Never impresses me but is always favoured by Howe!

I find it hard to believe that Keane has intentionally yanked the lads hair as opposed to just trying to get a hold of his shirt but I am biased because he's in my FPL team.

It’s just the inconsistency isn’t it. They really don’t help themselves a lot of the time. Seemed like a lot of the higher profile refs weren’t in the middle last night too. 
 

I don’t necessarily think Keane should have been sent off to be honest.

I remember his goodbye post was the only one that moved me a bit and really felt like someone that should have been with us for years and years but had no ill will towards him for not wanting to play in the Championship at that point in his career.
