Passionate bias is such a marvellous thing that it only adds to the stimulus of discussion. If you are a Newcastle United fan, for example, it is terrific to weigh in with what you perceive as a statement that cannot be challenged.
Except that it can because, as often as not, we are actually dealing with opinion not something written in stone. It is merely a matter of how life is seen by each and every one of us in black and white.
Thus when I listed my Top Ten United Goals scored in my lifetime I knew it would be challenged with a ferocity which would spark fascinating discussion. And that is what matters. It's personal preference. What was particularly significant for me was my ultimate decision. What was the best of the best?
