West Ham 0 - 2 Newcastle, 17/09/06

Martins scored the 2nd goal!

We won! It's confirmed! We are West Ham bogey team! The last time they won against us was 5 years ago! And since we won, this entry will be a short one! Heheh.. Both of our big buys got off the mark.. Duff's goal was wicked while Martins's finish was super cool.. The workmanlike performance of each player contributed significantly for our win.. The were no excuses from the hammers like 'newcastle was lucky to get 3 points' whatsoever.. We edged them out in every department and got a deserved win! I hope we will produce the same performance for the next game against Liverpool.
