Modern football is rubbish, here is the proof.

Sclox, you only have to look back to KK's entertainers to convince yourself that you don't need rose tinted specs

Don't get me wrong I was young and life was exciting. I was made of rubber and magic in the 90s. The music was class, the girls were beautiful and the football was pure rock and roll!

We lived the highlife but the came so close to the glittering glory of titles and cups.

When Howe's team qualified for the champions league that was some of the best football I've EVER seen the Toon play.

Powerful, technical, tactical, arrogant, aggressive, dominant, terrifying! Equally on a par to anything from the KK days.

With more investment in a worldie Right winger we'll have a more exciting front 3 for more than a decade.

I ain't saying it's better it's different. It'll never be Ginola, Solano, Fox, Gillespie, Shearer, Sir Les, Beardo etc etc.

However, Ba, Cisse (couldn't miss - that brace against Chelsea), Ben Arfa, Cabaye was class!

Now, we have some genuine world class talent in the squad and a load of top top draw players.

It's just different, the way the game is played is different. Teams don't want to lose rather than teams that go out to win.
