The last word on the Newcastle bore-defeat should go to the fans: Newcastle away fans who travelled down on a Monday night 500 mile round trip just six days before their trophy-starved team heads back to London for a carabao Cup final with Liverpool, selected West Ham United faithful and the odd neutral.
From independent Magpies supporters web site [The Mag](https://www.themag.co.uk/2025/03/bbc-sport-comments-from-neutrals-interesting-on-newcastle-united-after-1-0-at-west-ham/) comes some frank opinion on the Hammers’ performance on Monday night, collated from the BBC Sport website – a mix of home, away and neutral comments which make ‘interesting’ reading for West Ham – who hardly laid a glove on an admittedly mediocre Newcastle United side.
_“Hammers fans must be seething after watching their side hardly laying a glove in the opposition with a poor display of errors, non aggression and showboating by several players. Luckily there are 3 worse sides or they would be nailed on to go down on tonights gutless display.”_ Yes, indeed. Seething? Probably not any more, as we have had to endure this for so long, the seething subsides and far worse, apathy starts to set in.
_“Worst West Ham performance I’ve seen in years, no shape, no intensity,sat back inviting Newcastle pressure …..they were playing at home for gods sake.”_
_‘Kilman ”I felt a hard push” before flying through the air like an eagle. Isak simply put his hand on his back, he felt it and acted like an Olympic diver.’_
_“Feel for the fans because this is not the football they deserve , Potter totally the wrong choice of manager ….get rid asap.’_ Steady on, who do you think we are, Manchester United?
And my personal favourite: _‘**West Ham could put a glass eye to sleep.** Boring negative outfit._**’** Tell us something we don’t know – we have had to watch this style of alleged ‘entertainment’ for nearly two years now.
Onward and upward. What price a 3-0 West Ham win at Goodison Park on Saturday?
