Must read – Alan Pardew (2 years without a goal from a corner at Newcastle) lectures the 24 teams at Euros on taking set-pieces – especially corners.

Anyway, I hear footsteps coming down the corridor – it must be time for my medication.

How Alan Pardew and his coaches haven’t tackled this serious shortcoming is beyond me, with the only small mitigation that Pardew wanted to bring in a specialist coach for set-pieces but Ashley wouldn’t finance it.

Do you get a little excited when Newcastle get a corner?

Maybe you should take the opportunity to nip to the toilet instead!
