I watched that game, The second Fulham goal was not bad either.

Hard to compare goals but certainly that is I'd say the best volley I've ever seen in the Premier League.

He produces it whilst running at full speed. Quite phenomenal.

Agreed. But Papiss Cisse's goal against Chelsea was better.

Talking of Chelsea, good result today against Schalke. Less good for the Arse against Dortmund.

Are Ajax any good these days? Because losing to a Scottish team must be an embarrassment you'd think.

BTW, you get kudos for the first post on page 300 of this venerable thread.

Ajax produce young talent and then the rest of Europe pillages it.

We have Vertonghen and Eriksen at Tottenham. Both good players and both from Ajax.

How long

Ah the spud awakes from his hibernation. Yes they were both terrific 2 weeks ago.

Newcastle fans should take heed of the underlying seriousness of this message:

Losing to a Scottish team is an embarrassment? You do realise Celtic progressed past the group stage of the Champions League last season, beating Barcelona along the way? If anything, Celtic expected to beat Ajax last night. Celtic would beat shite like Newcastle any day.

I just hope we don't get a referee like this one on Sunday...

"The Umpire Strikes Back"?

I'm sure most agree that Di Canio didn't have a clue, now, their new manager has apparently gone to press with comments such as urging the "fans to make Stadium of Light a hostile cauldron for Newcastle" and “We need to attack more, defend better”. Genius!

My prediction is 2:3, 9 yellow cards, 3 sending-offs, 349 arrests and a giant black cat punched out by an angry drunk ex-policehorse.

As long as you're right with the result...

Desperate measures for desperate times. Does he shit in the woods too?

Now if someone had presented him with a Wonga shirt........

SAFC have a fair chance of breaking Derby's record points score this season. When one club gets left a long way behind it makes the scramble for 4th bottom more entertaining.

I'm certain that the Vatican has no problem with usury. I wouldn't want to offer a Wonga shirt to the Supreme Ayatollah though. (Nor of course to anyone else).

I'm not going to comment on your second paragraph because it's so near to Halloween and we'll have enough hexing anyway.

How do you feel about Lee Probert?
