Not the best win or performance this season .. but the best game

Great entertainment! Carson saves a pen and Torres shows that maybe we already have our striker.

 

[No1 was Colin bell]

Top class finishing there from Torres. Some shockers tonight. To be expected some might say. Jesus put in a really good shift. Gundog kept it all ticking over. What happened to raheem in second half? But a champs performance going behind twice and still grinding it out. Perhaps they just wanted to give a nod to 68 with a 3-4 scoreline! No injuries, right guys rested, three points, a sentimental gesture that didn’t go wrong in the end, another record. Lovely.

Same score as the first time I went to St James in 1968 Champions again

And me think so though went to a cup game around then slept in my mini van coldest night I can remember after a load of Newcastle brown

 

[PaleBlue]

Great game for the neutral - how good was Torres, does Ake justify his price tag, and how bad can Sterling get?

 

[Blue Llama]

Never in doubt.

Outrageous goal from Torres. Clinical poaching from him too.

Pep masterclass when he brought Mendy on to sure things up.

Best laugh this week.

Our C team is decent

If you forget the back 5, I agree.

 

[TonyM]

I thought Jesus was great out wide. Should be his permanent role imo.

 

[Two Gun Bob]

Are you not entertained??

Is this not why you are here!

 

[NorCalBlue]

First penalty was nonsense - Newcastle guy stands on Ake's ankle. Should have been a free kick for us.

 

[smallsteve]

Ake - Demonstrating that he is not a great defender
Mendy - A dreadful defender that is slow and also cannot cross a ball!
Cancelo - Good going forward, but a complete liability as a left back!
Sterling - Passenger and each week convinves me he wants out!

That is the FERRAN i saw at Valencia a killer finisher. Hes got his confidence back.

 

[Vic]

Better lmao

Why would you make an issue of how daft your system is?

 

[Revolver]

13 points ahead in the league and in the Champions League Final. Great players giving their all in every game. Young players like Foden and Torres coming through. These are our golden days.

 

[lust overlord]

Feel for people who couldn't enjoy that game for what it was.
Thought it was great fun myself.

Exactly.

Stress free entertainment,superb goal from Torres and a win.

What's not to like.

 

[ray21]

Nice memories of 1968

 

[journolud]

Pep literally started Scott Carson in goal. That's how little he gave a shit about this game. And yet people still act as though how we played matters to him.

He knows his team for Porto, barring injuries. And he knows his plans for next season.

They won't be determined by a game in which Scott Carson played.

Literally started him? As opposed to metaphorically? You got any idea why he did? Or about anything at all?

 

[wagonman]

We win 3-4 at St James Park as Champions...

Now that takes me back...

(And Summerbee was there both times.)

[GFBlue]

Can I be the first to say that Kevin Friend and VAR can fuck right off
