It was massively disappointing, & I can’t say I was buzzing for the game like I usually am at the start of a season.
But it was a drab game. I have heard so many people say ‘only 3 shots on target from West Ham’. Well Newcastle only had 2. Results skew the feeling in any game. Had that ended 0-0, nobody would have said it was an unfair result. The game was decided on a poor bit of goalkeeping/arguably a foul. That was it.
There was nothing really in it. Newcastle were the slightly sharper I would say, but it was a typical first day of the season game. Lacked a lot of energy.
But it is clear to everybody that we need signings & if the owners can’t afford to fund the club going forwards, they need to think about selling.
Only 3 shots on target from West Ham yes, none of which counted, Newcastle only 2 shots on target......unfortunately they scored the goals that won the game and buried West Ham & Moyes! As for this being the first game of a new season and Newcastle were sharper, they only finished the previous season 7 weeks ago! So how come we lost our sharpness and Newcastle hadn’t??? No excuses for that result; we were POOR and need to improve rapid.
This is purely light hearted, not to encourage any heated debate or "told you so". I just thought it would be funny with hindsight to look back on this thread from day one.
Moyes is a past it dinosaur. We got thrashed by Bournemouth in our pre-season friendly. Having now been humiliated by Steve Bruce of all people, all I can see is this fraud of a manager relegating us.

Just to remind you:
As for us, we're as good as down. Where are the goals coming from?
