I live in Newcastle and have a soft spot for Norwich so spent the evening at SJP last night. Some game as the Toon came from 3 - 1 down to win, thanks to a Dwight Gayle hat trick. Benitez seems to have turned the formerly inept Gouffran into a lethal goal machine which is fairly incredible.

Gayle? I agree.
Gouffran? I do not. He reminds me of Walcott and Agbonlahor; very fast but otherwise useless.

He is a cracking player. Totally underused by Palace, despite routinely being their top scorer.

Dundalk notch up another win in the Europa League.
The minnows of Manchester United also sneak a 1-0 home win against the mighty Zorya Luhansk.
Elsewhere:
Eric Black named in the Telegraph as being one of those involved in corruption claims.

Almost everyone's going footy-mad over here in Melbourne, since the AFL Grand Final is this weekend. That's "footy" with an ovoid ball that refuses to bounce straight, though. I'm just trying to stay clear of the footy fans.

I still have no idea how this game actually works. It's like a combination of football, rugby and basketball played on a cricket pitch with a scoring system that seems to be based on Quidditch. It is as baffling as it is entertaining!

Fantastic performance from Celtic on Wednesday - really worried that after getting tanked by Barcelona we'd be nervy, sit back and invite pressure - exactly what you don't want to do against a team of Man City's quality.
Thought Rodgers got his tactics spot on (he's not great at coaching a defence, we all know that), and Celtic Park was rocking.

One of the most bonkers games ever, my first experience was Adelaide Crows first ever game in 1990, but I haven't followed it for a good number of years.I love a bit of Aussie rules, use to watch it a fair bit in the 1990's but haven't really followed it since, fascinating game...I also used to enjoy the International rules games but they were more GBH with a ball
I played in a few "kick-about" matches (they were supposed to be "kick-about" but developed into full-on combat) when I lived there just to give it a go. Not a game for the faint-hearted.

Back in my early rugby playing days we had an Aussie coach who taught a group of us how to play. Took out half our 1ST XV one week before a cup semi which put an end to the fun... None of the injuries was malicious, we either didn't look properly or attempted something ridiculous and got crunched.
