Post
Match Comments:
Newcastle manager Big Sam said:
"It went to right to the very, very end which was unexpected with that
Shay own goal which was I thought rather unlucky. Thankfully by that
time there was little time left for Everton and we'd already got the
third which made it very, very important and a very big three points for
us, bouncing back from Man City last week."
Miserable Moyes said:
"We've conceded five goals in our last two games and that
is rubbish. The goals we conceded here were rubbish. We had numerous
opportunities to clear for the second goal and I think we could have
done better for the third. We certainly had enough players around to
stop them scoring. There was no tiredness after our Uefa Cup tie in the
Ukraine. It was more down to our bad play." |

Match Report: |
|
| |
For the
first time in the history of Match of the Day they showed all the
highlights of a Toon game. All 10 minutes of them.
The first piece of excitement came about 5 mins in when Smith, who was a
mile better because he was playing up front, passed the ball through to
Martins. He only had the keeper to beat but spooned the ball wide.
Sam, after saying Martins only scores difficult goals, is going to
release lions onto the pitch whenever our number 9 touches the ball.
Most of the rest of the half was a case of watching one way traffic as
the Toon squandered chance after chance to give them the lead, tho
Everton did have Faye clearing the ball off the line twice. Just as
everyone was about to nod off, Newcastle’s goal scoring legend that is
Nicky Butt deftly lobbed the ball into the far corner of the goal from
the edge of the box. Half time was blown shortly after.
Second half start with Everton bringing Andy....oops....Andrew Johnson
on for Brian..oops....James McFadden. His first touch of the ball was
sticking it past Given, after our defence went to sleep. The fans where
asleep shortly after as the game was reduced to both teams being unable
to string more than two passes together and the ball being firmly
entrenched in the middle of the park.
With 15 mins to go someone must have gave Sam a nudge. He fell off his
seat, rolled around on the floor shouting “Put Emre and Sick Note on”.
The fans started booing as the match announcer had woke them up
hollering who was coming off and on. The game picked up as Emre started
giving the team some direction but people had already started leaving by
the time he hammered home the Toon’s second of the match. Less than 5
mins later Emre was providing the cross for Owen, who did his best star
jump, to head home.
The Everton fans kicked off and, I admit, I was busy watching the feds
wheeling into the middle of them and missed their second (very fluky
that nee keeper in the world would have got to) goal.
Y’ divint get them very often but that was a 5 goal yawn fest.
