West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola: "The mood is quite high. The players are performing well but I believe that we can still improve and I'm expecting that we will improve in the next game. "I'm very pleased with our away form. The team is looking solid right now and is playing well. The confidence is coming back to everybody, even to the manager!" Complete record against West Ham: BIG-MATCH FACTSNewcastle United play their 300th home Premier League fixture, looking for victory that would see them leapfrog opponents West Ham, and could possibly land them a place in the top 10 for the first time since August.

acrossthepond 866 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 If our midfield could consistently get it to Martins like in that first goal in the video, and he could consistently run onto it like that, he'd be three times the striker even if he fouls up the chance. That was classy. In other news, I see Butt is suspended, Guthrie is injured (?) leaving us with no fit central midfielders. Maybe Cacapa will get drafted back into the position? I quiver with anticipation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
