What a fantastic result that was, and by all accounts a great performance too. And wasn’t that a marvellous ball from Andy Carroll to Mark Noble to lay on the second goal?
Like many of you, I listened to the match on the radio, although I did see the goals on a rather jittery internet stream. The commentators seemed hugely impressed by the performance and commitment. And the great thing was that the injury to Demel and Tomkins’ sending off didn’t appear to unduly unsettle the side. Of course it is very worrying that we now have two more defenders unavailable for the match next Saturday, giving the manager yet another set of selection headaches. Maybe James Collins will be fit to return.
Will this be the match that kickstarts us on to better things? Time will tell, but at least we are out of the bottom three.
PS If we beat Newcastle, as the table stands now, we could go as high as thirteenth. Isn’t it wonderful how three points make us feel so inexplicably optimistic?!
Comment away!
UPDATE: Alan Hansen just described Mark Noble as giving “one of the performances of the season”. Wonder if Roy Hodgson might finally take note.
