Final word goes to Sir Richard Branson who is clearly no football fan but comes across as a really good sport, when commenting on recent matches he mentioned how great it was that Newcastle had beaten Manchester three love!!

If you weren’t there against Blackburn I would argue that you missed one of the, if not THE, best goal ever scored at St.James’ Park.

We again saw loads of numpties head for the exits as the game ground to a 1-1 draw….only for them to miss a top class winner from Jonas.

Ben Arfa has had a difficult start to his career in England with a shocking injury to overcome as well, I feel privileged to have been at inside St.James’ Park when he scored that goal and I look forward to seeing many more from him in black & white. Keep the faith.

As our FA Cup 3rd Round tie with Blackburn approaches, we go deep into the video vault for this classic footage from the third round back in January 1974 against non-league Hendon.

The days of Supermac and Hibbitt, a trip down memory lane for a Mag YouTube classic.

The date of October 20 1996 is a landmark in our history, almost fifteen years ago now, unbelievable.

Whether you were at St.James’ Park on that magical day or not, simply press play and enjoy this Mag YouTube video classic.

So we have a full house, a night match, Manchester United as opposition.

So what if it buys mike Ashley a few extra roulette chips, as a fan what matters to me is being part of a throbbing mass of people all United in a common cause.

Even though there is no obvious replacement on the right wing, if the stories of Obertan’s foot injury prove correct then maybe it could prove to be a bonus to Alan Pardew.

If he has to remove the misfiring Frenchman, then it will give both some breathing space as to whether he should play.

Which players do you rate, who are you desperate for the club not to sell?

Demba Ba heads my list of most valuable United player but by the time I got to number 11 it was tricky! #url#
