Newcastle v WBA


The first meeting of the new season saw two of Sir bobby Robson's old clubs come together to pay tribute to the great man. A one minute applause followed by emotional singing by both clubs showed there respect and passion for him.

Newcastle put in a decent display at West Brom but came away with only a point. The first half saw Smith put in a committed display while the boat was rocked after Ameobi kicked Harper in the head. Half time and our young second goalie came in between the post and made a handful of competent saves sand surly saving our bacon just like Given used to do week in week out for the last few years. There were some poor performances from Ameobi, Gutierrez and Coliccini but Duff put in a days work for the Toon again. Young Any Carroll was taken off to my surprise as Ameobi lumbered around the pitch doing nothing much and the last few minutes Hughton gave Nial Ranger his first senior start for the club.
When the equaliser came it was duff who got on the end of a Nolan pass but it was the first time I can remember not celebrating a competitive league goal for Newcastle. Shortly after tho my passion was coming back but its still not convinced and its a very long season.

The speculation now is Gutierrez is to leave for Olympiakos. The quicker the better, I would rather see one of the you lads coming through to play instead of both Argentinian players

  1. Love reading your accounts of what's going on with the club these days...even at its lowest point, I think you're well on your way to converting me! I knew bugger all about what was going on but now I seem to have taken on your frustration and anger with what's happening with the club...bizarre
