    We want to hear your suggestions for those wonder goals where the ball never touched the floor...

    Kieran: David Ginola for Newcastle against Ferencvaros, October 29th, 1996. You'll know it when you see it. Screamer.

    Nick Burcham: Cheikhou Kouyate's goal against Man U. In from the free kick, two touches in the air and strikes into the net.

    Diamant: Kasami amazing volley, running away from goal, chest, swivel, volley, GOAL! Knee slide celebration. Knee bruised

    Kyle Clarke: Birstall Stamford against Quote Royals (top of the table clash) not only do we go 0-2 behind but our keeper gets sent off!!! So down to 10 men 2nil down... We re-grouped Joey Bside had a few special words of thought....second half bossed it! Won the game 3-2 with Pete Hamez Davey scoring the winner!!! 

    Neil Thomson: Mrs Foremans v Ormelie , Scottish cup tie 1994 were down to 10 men in first half and 3 0 down going into last 3 mins but we score 3 in 3 mins and go on to get another 2 in extra time winning 5-3 and they were coached by then Hibs striker Keith Wright.

    It looked liked Newcastle had turned their season around when they drew against Manchester United followed by last week's win against West Ham.

    But the Magpies succumbed to defeat against a Watford side who had not won in their last five league games.

    One of the player's of the season Odion Ighalo rediscovered his scoring touch, netting his 14th goal of the campaign.

    The Hornets are 11 points clear of the drop zone, they'll stay up barring a collapse of epic proportions. How Newcastle would love to be in their place.

    Michael Tompkins: I managed Ross Juniors Royals under-11s four years ago and we were 4 - 0 down at half time to the eventual champions. After an honest and speculative team talk we were magnificent in the 2nd half and scored 4 brilliant goals to grab a draw. We also had a chance to win in the final minute.   

    Carl Leask: Wastside Rebels versus Banks in 2015. 3-0 down at half time, and battled back to take the unbeaten league leaders 3-3, with midfielder Josh Laing missing an open goal in the dying seconds to snatch the win and keeper Elliot Tait pulling off a magnificent point blank save give a deserved point.

    Sunderland 1-1 Bournemouth

    At the other end of the table, Sunderland and Bournemouth played out a draw, a point which suits the latter more.

    Eddie Howe's men stay 15th in the table, four points above the relegation zone. The £10m man Benik Afobe has already netted twice and looks like a shrewd piece of business.

    Sunderland remain in trouble in the relegation zone, three points from safety and manager Sam Allardyce said "we're going to be fine" if they continue to play like that.

    I'd have thought it's the sort of game they need to win, at home, against another relegation candidate.

    Dean Richardson: Played for a Sunday pub team for the Red King in Whitefield, Manchester. Last game of the season we were already relegated so we decided to switch the whole team around. Robb the striker went in net, 5ft nothing. Dave went to centre forward from keeper 6ft 6 beast of a man, defence went to attack, attack to defence, by half-time we were beating second top of the league 3-1. The manager gave us a team talk plus beer at half-time and we went on to beat them 6-2.

    In honour of Dele Alli's wonderstrike against Crystal Palace, we are asking for the greatest goals where the ball did not touch the floor - not so much a Tony Yeboah-style volley when the ball falls out of the air and boom, more a flick here and a flick there.

    Think Gazza against Scotland in Euro 1996 or the dozen or so of those efforts Matt Le Tisser bagged during his career.

    We keep asking if Leicester are title contenders, so are Tottenham? Mauricio Pochettino's side went behind at home to Crystal Palace, but scored three in the last half an hour.

    In fourth place, they're now five points clear of Manchester United, and only five points behind top side Leicester.

    Their second goal was particularly special from young midfielder Dele Alli, who flicked the ball over Mile Jedinak, spun and volleyed home a 25-yard finish.

    It was Gazza-esque and Spurs have a real talent on their hands. Surely he has to start for England at Euro 2016?

    Jimbob O'Riain: Not exactly a comeback in a game, but certain for relegation we won 6 of our last 7 games in the league and just about avoided it. We beat the top teams in the league in the run in including a last day of the season 5-2 win over a team which prevented them from going up.

    Ryan Hawkins: We were once 2-0 up & went on to lose. Nothing too special, but the opposition comeback started when one of our centre backs hit a 30-yard screamer into his own net.

    Ruaraidh Mac, from the Isle of Skye: 1993 Scottish Amateur Cup. Breadalbane AFC travelled to Kemnay AFC in second round and found ourselves 4 - 0 down at half time. Few choice words from the manager at the break and we went out and beat them 5 - 4. We were blue we were white we were dynamite - Breadalbane!!
