Who was responsible, if anybody, for their goal was it Cacapa or Edgar? Some are pointing the finger at Edgar. The kid has just come back from a hernia operation and is not 100% but really wanted to play today as his mum was over from Canada to attend the game. I like the look of him but some have already decided he wont make it.

smith i think is a good player though he hasnt proved it with us though with king kevs ability to bring out the best in players i feel he can do well and he should not be so harshly criticized at the very least he has gave a 100 per cent which last year was one of the things people complain about under allardyce but smith always did his best and not to forget that he does have ability its just a question of getting it out of him and with the work he put in he atleast deserves a 2nd chance

Maybe buying JONAS has put a bullet up Duffs backside so he has decided to buck his ideas up.

I really do hope we get a few more players through the door ie defenders. IMO we need another CB a LB and an attacking midfielder and another striker.

CB-Evans
LB-Bridge or Insua
AM-Diego or Turan probably a little ambitious lol but we can hope.
Striker-Gomez would be nice!!!!!!!

Probably an ambitious list but if we are to push for Europe we need that class of player.

Let’s leave the Ameobi knocking to one side for a bit, hey? Get off the bandwagon.

He’s a decent, honest bloke and in case it passed you by, set up one of the goals today, in a game that was going nowhere until he took to the field.

Sure, it’s only Hartlepool you might say, but the way you’re treating Duff and Guthrie after this game, you’d think Newcastle had just signed Keegan and Toshack in attack.

bloody typical shola, eh…

Good to see Guthrie with an assist and a goal, and hopefully Duff might start something good.

good start to the pre-season, looks like Duff had a blinder, hope he keeps it up.

Doncaster Rovers next and then hopefully we can watch the rest.

HOWAY !!!

I can confirm to you now

Ameobi will never get a hatrick in his football career starting from now

duff got a hattrick, ideal ian beale

this little quote made me chuckle:

Shola Ameobi then somehow to contrived miss an open goal. The Newcastle substitute held off Humphreys, rounded Lee-Barrett and then unbelievably managed to back-heel the ball when all he had to do was pass it into the empty net

Nice to see Duff back in form and Guthrie on the score sheet, encouraging stuff.
