Hugo's back and i'm happy as Larry or since my name is Hugo, I'm as happy as Hugo.
Todays game against the Geordie boys was a game and a half. The team are really pulling out all the stops at the moment.
Newcastle (H) Team:
Landreau
Mabizela King Upson Kleber
Guarin
SWP D'Alessandro Richardson
Raulin Kamara
The first 60mins are a blur because i've never seen us play so well in my entire time here. We attacked quickly, defended strongly and some of the moves through midfield were just dynamite and to top that it's the first game my Mum has ever come to see. She was in the directors box. That's why a few of the lads were pointing up there when they scored. She had made them choc chip cookies for after the game. She shouldn't be doin that stuff but she is a stubborn old woman.
Anyway,
25 mins in and we were 1-0 up.
Some lovellllllly wing play from Richardson gave him space to put a pass in front of Guarin who was 20 yards out. He hit a drive hard and low which the goalie saved but
Raulin was there to tap home the rebound.
Then after 38mins we increased our lead with waht was probably the goal of the match. Raulin beat 2 men before hitting a pass with the outside of his right boot to send
Wright-Phillips clear down the right, he cut inside and unleashed a shot that flew in to the top corner on the opposite side. 2-0 and a few cart wheels from Shaun to celebrate.
The team seemed to be making every pass and winnig every ball at this point and you could just sense that we would score more goals.
It took 2mins to add the third.
D'Alessandro picked up a loose pass from Sean Davis and played a one-two with Gaurin before hitting a unstopable drive from the edge of the box. Absolute Class.
Newcastle must have been thinking about trying to hold out until half time but it wasn't there day at all. 41mins gone and 4-0 down.
Kamara added the forth when he got a toe to a cross from Raulin.
Half Time was something we didn't really want. The team was on fire and i honstly felt we could have been 8-0 up.
The second half wasn't our best in terms of defending but i can't complain that much.
Newcastle got 2 goals back through Dagoberto(66 and 68mins) but before he got those goals
D'Alessandro had put in the fifth after Kamara put him clean through on goal. I could have danced my way down the touchline but that would have been very silly. Although Frank Arnesen said my Mum was making more noise than anyone in the stadium.
Final Score: 5-2
I'm delighted and a bit short on words.
I'll go with these ones to give my overall opinion:
Superb
Brill
Fandabydozey
The mutts nuts
and many more
HAVE A GREAT WEEK.
