Our late friend and colleague, Paul Mariner, when he used to do the games for the New England Revolution, and I'm sitting at home watching these games, and the game is not good, right?

And he used to describe it, because obviously he's doing the games for his home club, the New England Revolution.

That's a...

fascinating tactical battle.

I knew exactly what that meant and in the moment I knew exactly what he was feeling.

And when we used to see him then later on and he was doing the shows and he would describe something as a fascinating tactical battle, it was code for boring.

That was awful.

That was awful.

So, yes, it's much better to have wide open.

Absolutely, for Newcastle.

Shades of Newcastle of old, I have to say.

Rolled out the old kits.

Did you see that this week?

They rolled out the old kits from back in the 90s and then performed like it.

I will also say, thoughts go out to my old manager Kevin Keegan on his cancer diagnosis.

I remember when I joined Newcastle, Keegan said, listen, we're not going to keep many clean sheets here.

That's not how we play.

And that 4-3 that we witnessed today is exactly Kevin Keegan's style of football.

Yeah, that's what he taught me to do.

That's what he said.
