Another clean sheet without Botman, Lacelles is showing the qualities of a true captain!

We are class from front to back. Goals from all over the pitch. Depth in the squad to make like-for-like changes in terms of quality.

Eddie Howe and Dan Ashworth have done an excellent job so far.

A few more windows of quality additions, a few more months of experience in the legs of the young Geordies coming through, Eddie drilling his tactics and ethos into the squad and we're gonna be a solid contender for the title, cups & a force to be reconned with in Europe.

Great time to be a Geordie!

Aye, good run out for Joelinton after his hamstring scare.

Delighted all round!

The commentator on the stream I was listening to said "Pope should have taken a crossword puzzle and pen with him today" ;D

What can you say about Murphy, he's fast becoming one of my favourites, never let's up and his exuberance is there for all to see. Wear's his heart on his sleeve.

Absolute cult hero!

The New Perchino. An unsung hero. Gone about his work, that goal was peak Shaun Goater.

Looped up spectacularly over the keeper, his face was totally epic! haha

Great assist for Gordon's goal too BTW, can't over look that

Or the first time ball cross field for the Wilson's assist, beats 3 Palace retreating defenders to lay it on a plate for Cal to take a touch and slot home in acres of space & all the time in the world. Not as flashy as Willock's to Isak last season but none the less quality and the nail in the coffin of our opponent.

Happy days indeed !

Also it's great to see a genuine beam on his face, similar to Miggy's, perfectly real and natural.

Just like his wide grin in the preliminary shots before the A.C.Milan game, as though he couldn't believe he ought to be there.

Just soak in the glory. A comfortable win against one of the tightest defenses in the league. We couldn’t break down their defense in 270 minutes of football last season - onwards and upwards.

Aye mint like. When we're got Murphinho lobbing the keeper for fun & sniping 40 yard cross field balls only a season after he was dubbed as 'the first one out the door when the money comes'

Again 4 goals scored by 4 different players.

If Gordon had left the shot he put against the bar Joelinton would have buried it. Joe looked pi$$ed when he hit the bar. Obviously we went on to win by 4 so no worries but J7 could have had a goal and we'd have had another 5-0 this season.

It's clear that we are going to be in and around the top 4 come the reconning at the end of the season.

Great isn't it!

Had to watch this again.

That was domination of a decent defensive side. At the risk of repeating myself and telling you what you already know, Gordon is a top top signing with so much potential to come - he has overcome his one weakness, goalscoring. Every player stepped up again and again.

Yet another clean sheet to boot. Have we ever played this well before? Top scorers and top offensive team in the division by nearly every metric. Wow.

Murphy has definately been Howed this season. Hats off, I had pretty much given up on him.
