A win and a farewell match for Newcastle and Steven Taylor

Posted by: Clarky · August 16, 2009 · Comment

Canny showing against inferior opposition, and a victory that had us pondering in ‘Rupali’ on when was the last time we had a comfortable home win, and who was the last Toon player to score a hat trick at home.

Gawd, what a knee trembler!! Giving them the lead after 3mins didn’t exactly help either.
