An excellent result today and a very good start to the season. Hopefully, getting a home win straight away and picking something up from our first away trip will settle everyone down at the club . . . we have a lot of players in our squad who are new to the Premiership so I expect there has been a little bit of apprehension and nervousness about . . . but now they all know that they are capable of picking up points against sides who will probably not be involved in the relegation dogfight later on in the season.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

you know whats impressive? a draw away to Newcastle wouldnt have been a bad result 5 years ago when we were an established side. :doff: hats off to the players, they did fantastically.

10 points:-
1. Pardew is proving me wrong his tactics are top notch at the moment.
2. Pardew has solved the defence problem that has dogged us for years,he started at the back and worked forward.
3. WH has a toughness about it,not the team of old that might of rolled over with 10men they looked even more up for it after that moment.
4. Anyone notice that we are hitting teams on the break? New for WHU.
5. Anton is worth 8-10million already.
6. Harewood is still **** and should be offered to Feyenoord plus 7million for Kuyt.
7. We need 2 strikers not 1 !!!!!!!!!
8. Pardew called the linesman "a ****ing ****er".
9. IF we continue to play like we are we will finish mid table.
10. Bring on Bolton.

My only disagreement. Harewood is not ****.(But I wouldn't mind Kuyt, as well).donkeydobber wrote:10 points:-

I was very impressed with the performance today. There were one or two occassions where one of Newcastles more skillful players jigged there way into the box but there were always two or more players there ready top put a foot in. Before the red card (which, as I imagine everyone has already said, was a disgrace) I really thought the match was there for the taking. I thought the ref had a good game before that dreadful decision. I just hope Konchesky isn't afraid to put his foot in in a similar fashion in the future. An assured defensive dispay. An encouraging attacking display which certainly heighlighted the need for one or two quality strikers. Marlon caused all sorts of problems in the first half but as usual didn't seem to have the end product. Rio-Coker was fantastic!
I thought it looked strange on the back of his shirt! That should read 'Reo-Coker'.

credit to shearer for saying it was "a decent challenge" by konchesky and that it was the wrong decision.
how good is it to be a west ham fan at the moment...although we haven't got a new striker in, im desperate for the transfer window to shut. we don't want anyone getting ideas over ferdinand, reo-coker etc.
im also dead happy that we aren't playing midweek while bolton will have to face newcastle . they'll have dyer and ameobi back and probably luque in their attack. talk about getting lucky with playing them today. here's hoping bolton knacker themselves just three days before travelling to the boleyn.

The only thing Harewood managed to do the whole game was pass a player or two then either fall over and swiftly hold his hands up for a foul or lose the ball.
He wont prove me wrong at all,he is CCC quality I was with Amsterhammer and Kennet(Harewoods love child) Kennet love Harewood and reminded me of the 22 goals he scored in the CCC. That my point he can only score there.
