That was a dour game by all accounts. The Irons were just as dismal as the Toon. I heard West Ham are searching for a top 10 spot this year. They will need to play better than that to do so.

The Hammers would have won if Andy Carroll had played....Newcastle are desperately in need of more firepower up front.

Well that Leeds into the 3rd round of the capital cup with a comfortable 3-1 win at Donny Rovers :D

Well done but the mackems won as well...unfortunately :-?

Morecambe v Newcastle live on sky should be an interesting game.

I'm pulling for Liverpool! So far they are 2-2.

Don't have that channel(due to some rules when living in an another country)

Have to follow the ongoing game result on the internet.

I hope they win this game.

And so they did 2-0 thanks to the Ameobi brothers :cool:

Next round Newcastle v Leeds....does Pardew play the useless second eleven or the terrible first team for the third round?

I feel I cannot contribute to a football thread until Wenger actually DOES SOMETHING!

Well he's certainly trying to turn Cabayes head :stare:

Guess it would have been a scandal if they had lost that match or had played a draw against this 2nd league team Morecambe

Is Newcastle playing to win the League Cup trophy

or the series ? or perhaps both?

I'm sorry I'm not so much into English football slang, most of the words written here can be sometime difficult to understand. Every sport article regarding English football and Newcastle I get from Swedish and danish sports paper/INTERNET.

Yeah but then Pardew had a fit. ("OMG they are trying to buy a player, how disrespectful!") When did making a bid during the transfer window become disrespectful?

Maybe he was just talking about Wenger's offer... that man seems to think inflation is a myth and still offers 1990's fees.

Hammers scraped by with a 2-1 win over Cheltenham Town. Stoke next up on Sunday.

Nice draw haven't been to St James Park since January 2004 when a certain Alan Shearer scored the only goal of the game. But having said that was the last these two teams met in a competitive match.
Not going to predict a score just yet :hmm2:
