A much needed win after a couple of poor performances against West Ham and Blackburn.

Not since 1949 had we won at St James' Park and we did it in style, totally outplaying a disappointing Newcastle team.

An opening screamer from Noe Pamarot should be contender for goal of the month, but will probably go to a 5yard Rooney tap in again, followed by both Utaka and Benjani showing strength in muscling off a Newcastle defender each time to score.

Niko Kranjcar finished the rout in the second half with a cross that may or may not have got a deflection on its way into the net.
