Be quick or be dead

Ten seconds. Not a lot of time. Not a lot you can do in ten seconds. Unless, that is, you're Newcastle's number 9 and captain, returning from an undeserved suspension - in which case you can score a goal to set your side on the way to a storming performance and third place in the table, albeit with some help from old boy Steve Howey and Carlo the Clown in the Man City goal. Utterly fitting that King Kev should get to witness a Newcastle team hitting the same heights as the side he built in the mid 90s, and also utterly fitting that that mercenary moneygrabber Distin should end up having a torrid afternoon. A tenth successive league win at home, and even Robert had a good game. Great stuff.
