    Yes I’m bored already with the absence of live football so here’s another thought who was the best header of the ball you’ve seen for the Toon.

    Shearer comes into the equation again. Some of the oldies might be thinking of Wyn the Leap but for me it has to be the Ferdie man himself, Les Ferdinand.



    Ginola could play a bit and in the above game the Boro’ full back was still trying to find Daveed 30 minutes after full time.

    That was a pretty clear penalty mind

    We didn't see much of him, but Peter Withe had a lethal header as long as he didn't have to run too far to reach the ball

    Yep Ferdinand for me as well. Seemed to be able to hang in the air.

    I seem to remember Gary Speed was quite tasty.

    Is your gas fire leaking or are you high on something? Withe wouldn't even get within a football pitch of the likes of Ferdinand or Shearer when it came to heading a ball.

    Does your carer know that you're on the internet?

    <doh>

    My carer is refusing to visit anymore since I asked her to wipe my arse even though I have no bog roll left.

    Peter Withe would only struggle in the modern game because he would give away fouls every 20 seconds now that the game has gone so soft.

    Well, that and the fact he is 68

    For the two against Barca Asprilla deserves a mention, but I really just wanted an excuse to share this



    But otherwise, Sir Les...….

    Sir Les every day of the week and twice on a Sunday. Was like he was being lifted up by the gods.

    Only saw Wyn a couple of times, great header of the ball though! Started going to the games week in week out when we signed Supermac. Used to be a regular for a pre match beer in your avatar.

    In my student days a pal was in the Trent House pool team and we went to a pub called (from memory) the Black and White. Presume this is no longer?
