As Newcastle find themselves in an increasingly precarious position, we look at some other teams that were too good to get relegated

“Great goal! That deserves 20 rubs of your buttocks.”
Pavel Nedved’s volley against Roma at the weekend was stunning (and well worth watching this video for alone) but equally stunning was the celebration.

When does an obvious pun stop being obvious and start indicating a sick mind? Here!
Talk about self-indulgent! Goal.com originally ran with this ever-so-slightly more perverted than it needed to be headline following Juventus’ draw with FC BATE. Eventually the post-match Viagra obviously wore off/a senior member of staff spotted it, and it has now been [...]
