Media speculation about Chris Houghton's Newcastle job has been doing the rounds this week only for him to mastermind yet another away victory to settle the nerves and silence the media who have nothing better to do than start rumors of a fine up coming British manager.
Newcastle were playing a Hammers side at the bottom of the Prem but with only one loss in their last five games. The Hammers started the game singing about bubbles in the air and within 12 minutes the West Ham fans were jumping in the air as Cole got on the end of a loose shot before Enrique could react and slipped the ball past Krull; 1-0 the Hammers. From that point on though, Newcastle took the game to West Ham just as the battle in the stands was being won by the Toon Army. The ball did not take long to fly into the back of the net of the home team. The Newcastle fans went mad and proceeded to wind up the home fans who never seem to be able to take defeat well. They are going to have a long hard season inn the Prem and one of my bets to go down. Surely they deserve Championship football if they carry on like they did in the second half. They could not get near us and the Geordies in the stands were in full voice drowning out any attempts of the home fans to inspire a poor West Ham team. On the back of a tough week Andy Carroll came up with his 5th Premiership goal this season to burst the hammers bubbles and send the Geordies onto another level and up the already deafening songs. The game was never in any doubt as we took apart West Ham and we really should have had more with efforts going wide.

Tiote was again very impressive and took hold of the game early on as well as cancelled out any attempts from the lacklustre Hammers. Joey Barton played out of position on the right wing but supplied both crosses for the two goals - a marvellous performance and great to see him getting back the form that won him his England cap. Andy Carroll's presence up front is massive and he set up the first goal after winning Barton's cross to give Skipper, and flatmate, Nolan his 4th goal this season and celebrate his return to the first team after missing last week's draw at home to Wigan. Simpson won his first game in the Prem and an easy start for him but things will get harder as our next Prem game is the biggest of the season, yep, home to the Mackems.
After the game, some West Ham fans were letting down the rest by trying to start fights out on the street and spitting at Newcastle fans walking to the tube station. This happened during the game too. A Newcastle fan got taken out the crowd by the stewards only for some filthy West Ham fans to spit on him as he walked away from the game. These sad individuals should be kicked out of football for good as they are there for one thing only and it's not football.
