Would be harsh to stop Schar for one mistake after his recent excellent performances. Think he’s 1 yellow away from suspension anyway so he should play until then and Fede or Clark can step in during his forced absence.

Moving swiftly on...

We can't get near these when they attack... their passing and movement looks much better than ours out present. Need to improve.

Few West Ham fans saying they have struggled against back 5's this season. Add in our two holding midfielders and I reckon we can contain the threat of Lanzini and Anderson and take the lead in the first half here.

I've had a firm disliking of WHU for a while now, not sure why it began but along with Everton they're the team currently in the PL that I take the most joy over beating. Wolves now too. Would just love a win today.

Arnautovic on bench for hammers.

Excellent, buzzing with the unchanged team. Unfortunately cannot watch this closely this evening as I'm out for a family dinner, but I may just sly it on my phone and glance occasionally. Howay Newcastle!

PROPA PLAYA

Yeah I got it wrong. We all do, good sir.

Aubameyang played at Heaton Stannington's ground in High Heaton for Gabon's Olympic team, can't recall a trial for us ever taking place though.

For me him and Van Dijk have been the best 2 centre backs this season. Schar > everyone.

Leno Save of the season for sure.

Newcastled United - Sunday 25th March 2012

Thats like proper fancy and stuff. Few wins and I'm using my spare time making bloody banners for match threads on photoshop Must be back in love with the club again. It's very good but it should be West Ham vs Newcastle, shouldn't it? Home team first. Thought about it but decided given that it's only to be used on a Newcastle-centric site, and that I plan to keep making them for match threads, that the logistics could be excused for continuity purposes.

I’m not sure he’s really performed all that well anyway, Kepa. Not saying he’s poor like, just look at De Gea’s first year, but from what I’ve seen Chelsea are better off with a big Willy at the back.

The thing is, just his presence in the squad/training is valuable as Lascelles knows Rafa wouldn’t hesitate to drop him if his form dipped, therefore I would argue Lascelles upturn in form is in part due to the presence of the more than conpotent Fernandez ready to step in. Does feel harsh on Fede but this is what happens when you actually have a squad and being the pro he is he’ll know that all too well.

Beautiful pass to Ritchie for our second goal.

I've been thinking the same. Think he may come in for Almiron. I've also been thinking, with Rondon getting 90 tonight and perhaps needing protected (hopefully not), that we might go with a front 3 of Perez, Atsu and Kenedy and try use pace on the counter similar to what we've done away from home before. Stoke last year comes to mind.

Aye, he done some really good things I thought. Solid throughout. Also occupied that same position Yedlin does for Lejeune's diagonal which is becoming an important part of our play.

Born to do it. Loves a cloob. Any cloob, it matters not. As long as he's at a cloob.

DJ Rafa.

Really good game again Really glad he's looking back to his best.
