You are spot on with your pick for goal of the week.

I'm such a homer for Man U that there is no way I objectively evaluate your player of the week. Of course it was Lukaku. ;)

I was really pissed about that Spurs game though. There is only one word to describe the Spurs players - petulant. Newcastle loses two of their defenders, one to an absolutely nasty tackle from behind by Kane. He, of course, gets a yellow for what really should have been a red. In fact, the announcers were going on about how if Shelvey had made that tackle, he absolutely would have been off. And then Shelvy later obliges later with that idiotic stamp that turned the game. That was a painful game to watch.

I used to really have a soft spot for the Spurs, but that is so far gone now. Although I do still like Ericksen. He's about the only one I can stand to watch.
