Eddie Howe was given what appeared to be wall to wall coverage on the BBC sports website today ahead of Newcastle's clash with West Ham in London on Sunday, in fact it was almost unprecedented such was the 'gub fest' being dished out by tongue slavering reporters who are supposed to be unbiased according to the Beeb's self imposed rules.

Well it might be 'little ol' West 'Am, but it is going to take another team a helluva long time to equal Hammers European record established in last night's victory over Freiburg. The Irons have eclipsed Pep, Don Revie and Bill Nicholson's achievements by going one better and it will take some effort for others to overtake 'Moyes' Marvels'.

Freiburg: Atubolu, Sildillia, Ginter (C), Lienhart, Sallai, Eggestein, Höfler, Kübler, Adamu, Grifo, Höler
West Ham: Fabianski (C), Coufal, Kehrer, Mavropanos, Aguerd, Fornals, Alvarez, Ward-Prowse, Paqueta, Bowen, Kudus
Subs: Areola, Anang, Zouma, Cornet, Ings, Ogbonna, Benrahma, Soucek, Coventry, Emerson, Mubama
