Newcastle vs West Ham Official Match Thread

The EFC/Cunts 2-2 draw opens it up for us.
Its so hard to keep grounded, it's in our own hands for sure.
We all know the coo, let's hope these lads keep defying our natural pessimistic attitude.
Winning consistently isnt the West Ham way.
Thought last week was massive, but got to the stage where every game we have left is massive.. FMOB

Massive in a good way instead this season. Normally massive from the wrong end of the table. Who knew not fighting relegation could be so stressful (stole that from someone else).

PLEASE keep me in a good mood at work with a win

Yes Jay.

There's a line in the film Clockwise. 'It's the hope, not the despair that kills you'.

I didn't feel it much in the Payet season but beginning to feel it now. It's like we're a tiring horse just about clearing the fences at the closing stages of the Grand National, still in with a chance of an unexpected place. Without Rice I thought we'd lose at Wolves. But we got over. Same last week.

Today is like Becher's Brook.

[Ibbyham]

Squad are in and Ogbonna are in plus Noble is back. Johnson replaces Cresswell on LWB

Fabiaski

Coufal
Diop
Dawson
Ogbonna
Johnson

Noble
Soucek
Fornals

Lingard (behind Bowen)

Bowen

Masuaku is not in the squad, probably not pass match fitness test after taking a knock last week.

[Dwayne Pipes]

Yarmalenko and Lanzini on bench might give a few more options if going fucking tits up

[Whiskyman]

Saint.Maximin will be a big danger imo. Not sure Johnson can cope with him. So I would be inclined to switch Coufal to our left side. He’s our best close marker imo.

[Towie]

At least Ogbonna back...
But the injuries are fucking us up.

We can sit with all 11 Players on goal line today after we go 1 up, don’t care just win!

[jameskel]

We should beat them, they are cack. However, if Saint.Maximin keeps running at us like he is, we are in trouble

[BlackDiamond]

Different game for us as we have all the possession while Newcastle are happy to attack on the break. So far no worries unless St Maximin gets closer to the goal.
