How many times does Darren Fletcher want to say "Gallowgate End" in this Newcastle game? We get it mate, you know the name of the stand. Not sure if it's sycophancy or just showing off.
Trying to work out what result we want from this one. A draw is the safest bet I suppose. If we're really to challenge for Europe, we need to be winning our own games anyway.
I remember being amazed as he took in-swinging corners from both sides, using his right foot from the left and left foot from the right. Different class.

Dan James gutless fraud as ever. I'd have had Danny Ward take a penalty before Dan James. Classic bottler's pen as well - good height for keeper and not far enough in the corner. He looked like he knew he'd miss from the start.
My first away game outside of the Midlands was the Palace game where Corica scored two and we ended up winning 3-2 with a Geoff Thomas header. So I'll always irrationally give Corica undue credit that elevates him above Ferguson and Rankine.. and probably Sedgley.
Didn't Ipswich play him in defence and we moved him into midfield, only to find he was awful? He gave the ball away all the time, and the whole ground would moan "Sedgley". Then he'd occasionally score Olofinjana style tap-ins and it seemed to justify his position in the team to the manager and...
