I am now home after a magical experience.
1. West Ham were terrible.
2. The waiata was very moving and highly appropriate.
3. A draw would of been a fair result.
4. Doyle looked totally at home.
5. Thought Brockie looked alright and had a couple of good chances, should of put away that 1 on 1 but the keeper did very well.
6. Alex looked all class.
7. Nice to see Albert and one of the Toon's Spaniards chatting away during the game.
8. I'm feeling a little guilty, but after bagging the choice of the Topp Twins as entertainment, I quite enjoyed them and didn't think they spoiled the day. In fact quite a few around me [including the 2 kids I was with] loved them.
9. I really like Sydney's 2 central defenders - both with good pedigrees too.
10. Looking forward to more of this next pre-season too.
11. If Steve-O was serious in saying the game was terrible, then I wish to break rules 7 through 29 of the forum code of conduct by saying you are well and truly a miserable c**t.
12. Thought Tansley was ok too, had the ability to laugh at himself and loved it when he announced a song that the youngsters would love, played about 5 seconds and told the crowd that was all he could play because he didn't like it very much - cracked me up.
