Lovely football we haven't seen for most of the season.

[andrewpandrew]

Really hope that isn’t the last time we see Sandro in a Newcastle shirt.

[andrewpandrew]

Soucek has lost his head there.

Gerrin!

How the hell that wasn't reviewed and turned to red I don't know.

[andrewpandrew]

Don’t think Osula wants away this summer!

[andrewpandrew]

Wow, that is some goal!

[andrewpandrew]

And to think some West Ham fans had already left!

[fathomfive]

WTF is going on with our defence here?

Clearly they don’t think we’ve lost enough points from winning positions

[andrewpandrew]

Emotional that.

[fathomfive]

Jesus, we're a hard watch even when we win.

Sunday League at times.

Thought that was very solid. Never really felt dangerous from them, although their consolation goal was pretty mint!

Really chuffed for Osula and Woltemade. I thought both had very effective games. We missed width today though and, Christ, our ability to play ourselves into trouble is outstanding.

Not sure what Bruno and Willock were getting heated for.

[Skyedriver]

OK we were playing a pretty poor team but for a change we were acting like a team, connected.
Either Woltemade has learnt to play our way or we have changed to play his, possibly the latter as we were playing more up the middle.
I've said for a long time that Osula just needs match practice and encouragement, proved it all today, him and Nick W were working together.
Ramsay had a great game as did Sandro and Bruno (most of the time). It is clear how the team gel together when he's on the pitch.
Perfect midfield 3 and we have to fit in Miley somehow!
Pope did some excellent work, but he still cannot kick a ball straight!
Why didn't the linesman highlight that Soucek was happily kicking Bruno, unbelievable.

Or the ref or VAR give a penalty for the handball in the first half?

Should have been a handball in my opinion, wish the refs would be more consistent as type of decisions are a complete joke.

[ellroy]

What a delightful goal our second was & a mention in dispatches for the Hammers strike as well, he won’t hit a better one ever.

As glad as I was with the win, I do feel football was the loser yesterday………….

[toon10]

That was definitely a pen so I'm pleased it didn't affect the result. I thought Tonali was everywhere until he went off. Pope was good and Woltemade and Osula worked really well as a pair. Bruno was probably my man of the match. Love his passion. It was a good game with some great football in patches. Their goal was special. Couldn't do anything but stand up and clap.
