    To be honest I'd pretty much agree with all of them. Only two changes. My favourite game would have been Liverpool, it was like it had been scripted. Best result would be Stoke away. It was just the most complete away performance I've ever seen by a Newcastle side. Pulis was livid at being tactically bested by Pardew and Simpson winding him up, Demba was lethal, and its a tough place to go normally.

    Player of the Season : Coloccini
    Most Disappointing Player : Ober (because I thought he'd be better)
    Best Game Attended : 1-1 away to Man Utd
    Best Result : 0-2 vs Chelsea
    Goal Of The Season: I loved Cisse's goal vs Chelsea, but for me it's gotta be Ben Arfa vs Blackburn in the cup. No one else in the PL could score that goal.
    Best Signing: Demba Ba, just! He cost nothing and scored 16 goals.
    Best Prospect: Santon, then Marv.
    Best Solo Performance: Krul vs Man Utd away.

    Aye, those two were great, I remember Stoke being touted as the game where we would "slip up" and where the to quote a lot of mackems "the bubble will burst" but it just didn't happen and we bettered them quite significantly with Ba scoring the perfect hat trick, left foot, right foot, header :)

    As for the best game attended I've only managed to afford to get to around 5 games this season, seen the rest of them at the pub, so attended wise Blackburn was the best for me as I've only been to our home games against Blackburn, Swansea, Wigan, Chelsea and Fulham.

    So if we were saying favourite game seen I'd possibly go with Stoke at home aswell, thought we absolutely mullered them, could have been 5-0 easily and the whole team were at the top of their game.

    Pity the curtain on the season had to come down at Goodison. It might have been a decent ground in years gone by but nothing has been done to it since the days of Harvey, Hurst, Kendall and Ball and it seems to be falling down. It's a wonder the FA or the H&S people haven't stepped in to see that changes are made. I'd have thought that the wooden flooring might have been seen as a bit of a hazzard and nobody would want to see a tragedy like the one that happened on the red side of Liverpool again.

    The low roof and the massive pillars don't do anything to help the view either.

    Anyway, the final curtain of our season.

    It's a lot worse inside than out. Managed to get a drink inside the ground, tasted about as bad as the ground looked.
