    Ever since the Newcastle bravado calmed down, Barcelona have been by far the better side

    Rashford was muck in general as well btw but that second goal was a thing of beauty.

    I know people don't really like hypothetical questions/arguments, but how do you think we'd have fared against Sporting? I reckon we would have lost, but only by 1 or 2 at the most.

    It's an absolute certainty they'll finish last in the group

    They’d have taken minimum 4 off of us with the same starting 11 that we had in Kazakhstan.

    I loved both goals but absolutely that 2nd still is hard to believe

    Everytime I see it again, it still seems implausible as he was going away from goal and strikes it across goal & his body into the opposite corner — a knuckleball on top of it as the ball actually begins to dip as it brushes under the bar, xG is useless in this case

    Was impressive in those opening minutes, Toon town were raucous even when forcing a throw in
