A much better Newcastle team wins over Spurs team

Posted by: shearyadi · December 21, 2008 · Comment

If the result from our last meeting with them on the Carling Cup was to compare with today’s result, I can tell you that today we are the much-much better team against a (slightly) better Spurs team.

Although we aren’t the better team on fist-half against the team that according to history was the team that would find it hard to win at our own land, but the Lads showed great determination to win the sixth…

Portsmouth 0 – Newcastle United 3, hmmm…well?

I thought Pompey edged the 1st half, while we comfortably won the 2nd. Pompey made an @rse of their chances, while we took ours well and could easily have had a couple more.

Despite making better use of our chances we still conceded possession too easily in that 1st half, when I thought we struggled in midfield.

This is from a less than impressive web stream but despite the lack of picture quality, even through the thick Smog I could see some real quality from men in black and white today. Hats off to the back four, especially Bassong.

Our defence were superb. Despite Middlesborough’s possession in the last 3rd/ crosses into our box we limited them to very few chances thanks to the back 4. Enrique was the only exception in that…

Nil Nil, We Won that Nil Nil at Stamford Bridge

No one really believed we could do it, not even Screacher (or even me -Ed), but it was great, and always an honour to be in amongst the Toon lads.

A great effort by everyone, the back four (before it became a back seven) did really well and need credit for stopping a very good Chelski side. Was especially impressed by Bassong and thought Enrique raised his game up a couple of notches to put in…
