Lampard picks his head up and knocks it out to the wing.

Newcastle fans never cease to amaze me. If there was a trophy for best supporters this lot would win it hands down every year.

Instead of asking WHY you had to do it, how about just thanking Him for safely bringing you THROUGH it.

Hospice means end-of-life care. The admission ticket is a diagnosis from a doctor that you have six months or less to live.
