An entertaining game of football ended in a draw.  We watched this one from the Miburn stand, and it was end to end from start to finish.  Newcastle were fantastic in the first half, with Michael Owen hitting the post with his effort on goal, before scoring the first goal of the match in the 19th minute.  West Ham were always dangerous with Bellamy making darting runs into the 18 yards area, but more often than not from an offside position.  Bellamy however scored his goal to make it 1-1 in the first half.  Early on in the second half West Ham started well and scored their second goal on the 55th minute.  From then on, it was relentless attacks from the toon players, and West Hame were lucky with numerous Newcastle penalty shouts and a disallowed goal "perfectly good from where I was standing".  In the end Newcastle pressure paid off and Carroll scored the equaliser with a great header.   In the end, we felt rather disappointed not to take all three points.

Final Score:  Newcastle United 2 - 2 West Ham United
