took them to another milestone on their journey as part of the Saudi Arabian sportswashing project, a first cup final since 1999 and a first League Cup final since 1976. A home match against West Ham, a team who kicked off separated from the Premier League’s relegation places by goal difference only, seemed like a perfect game for them to celebrate such a moment.
But while this shock and awe start threatened to blow West Ham away before they’d even got into their stride, Newcastle spent the remainder of the first half failing to live up to their early billing. The absence of Bruno Guimaraes, suspended for three games after getting himself sent off in the Carabao Cup semi-final game against Southampton, seemed to destabilise Newcastle in midfield, with the excellent Declan Rice tidying up without issue.
West Ham were holding their own, and this shouldn’t been particularly surprising. Since the start of 2023, they’ve started to look like they’ve turned a corner, with wins against Brentford and Derby in the FA Cup and against Everton in the Premier League. The shoots of recovery of tiny and West Ham are certainly not going to match their Premier League achievements of the last couple of seasons, but signs of improvement have been visible for a couple of weeks.
And the result of this was the match rather ran out of steam rather than building up towards any sort of enthralling climax. Newcastle continue to lob bombs into the West Ham penalty area. The visitors’ stubborn defence kept chucking them back. And by the full-time whistle, much of the life had been sucked out of St James’ Park.
