West Ham vs Newcastle: What to Expect

The bookmakers know what they're doing. We're about nailed on for relegation, according to that. I think there's been a lot of talk about this game and like what mood West Ham will be in after playing a Z, Alkmar and then what sort of team they'll put out. But we probably need to forget about all that and just beat them. There is an angle there where what happens on Thursday nights, under any circumstances, it means that West Ham will either be a very changed team or a very tired team. The only thing to do with that is to just try and beat them in the first half hour. If they are sleepy, then they won't.
