Bruno’s outstretched leg goal halfway through the 2nd half from a Harvey Barnes cross, sealed the 1-0 victory ower The Jellied Ells Mob at London Stadium last neet! (Jellied Eels are a favorite delecesee aroond these parts!)
To be honest it wasn’t a very good game at aall with both sides strugglin’ to create and opening!
Just 15 seconds had passed from the kick off when Livramento missed the baall and it fell nicely to West Ham’s Soucek, who completely fluffed hiz lines by firing a shot ower the bar with just The Pope to beat in The Toon goal!
A lucky early escape, but after this we settled doon and had a couple of chances to take the lead through Harvey Barnes but he couldn’t find the net at the far end from where the 3,000 Toon fans were!
And that woz the 'excitment' from the forst period in a very flat atmosphere, in this vast former Olympic Games stadium!--Certainly nee good for futbaall, with fans so far from the pitch!
The 2nd half woz a bit better az we attacked 'wor end' and the breakthrough eventually came through Bruno's goal, az mentioned above!----Just before that a Jacob Murphy centre woz nearly torned into hiz own net by Kilman, but their goalie made a superb acrobatic save, with Alexander Isak unable to get onto the end of baall, az it woz punched clear!
And that woz just aboot it! Not a display that The Liverbirds will be shakin in their boots with, for next Sunday's showdown at Wembley, but a confidence booster at least---and with nee more injury scares its lookin a little bit brighter for NUFC, who are massive underdogs for that game!----Dafter things have happened in Wembley cup finals of course (Relegated Wigan beatin Man City in 2013, relegated Birmingham beatin The Arse in 2011 and not forgettin massive underdogs Wimbledon beatin Livaapoool in the 1980s!-----Lets have one of those underdogs results pleeeze!)
The win lifts us from 9th to 6th and level with Man City on 47 points---and just 4 behind Forest in 3rd place in the Premyaa Leegue table!---A place in The Champions Leegue iz 'still on' az well!
Attendance: 62,463 (3,000 Toon fans who made more noise!)
PS: There were plenty of empty seats scattered arond the groond, so attendance wise, it definatly wasnt full by any means!---and certainly not near the end az the disaloshand home fans left in their droves!)
