Ramble Reacts: Newcastle get squashed by the Hammers

Marcus and Jim are here to remind you that plenty of good stuff happens on Monday night, as West Ham stumbled across their passion for possession halfway through a vital win over Newcastle on Tyneside.


How much will this performance ease the pressure on Julen Lopetegui and his squad of deceptively exceptional footballers? Why are Newcastle so inconsistent? And are the PIF Posse even that bothered? Plenty of questions for us to ponder, so join us!
