You're the best! Lionel Messi-level quizzing. Congratulations!

Very, very good. If this quiz was a stadium, there would be a statue of you outside.

8 and above.

Congratulations on an exceptional performance. You've earned yourself a testimonial at the very least.

7 and above.

Well done! You missed out on the title but you're in the Champions League, at worst.

A very respectable effort. You are the James Milner of quizzes.

5 and above.

Not bad, not great. A mid-table season in the Championship.

Definite room for improvement. The board have issued a public vote of confidence.

Disappointing. Knocked out in the qualifying rounds.

Two better than zero, you are still destined to end up on loan at Trabzonspor.

It came after one of the Newcastle keeper’s slowest days of the season, after what had often resembled a half-pitch, beat-the-packed-defence training exercise against a Leicester team largely too meek to threaten Geordie dreams.

Richarlison’s first Tottenham goals punish Marseille for Mbemba’s red card

By -

It was a dreadful misjudgment by the former Newcastle centre-half.
