    Well you can't do that! Abel Hernandez, Hull substitute, punches Phil Jones in the stomach and gets away with it! No need to lose your heads...

    "St. James' Park is about as serene as it has been all afternoon - but not that serene. Newcastle have been by far the better side in this second half but as we enter the last 15 minutes there is still the capacity for all that to change."

    "I think Manuel Pellegrini will be there next season. There will not be any panic but now the FFP fine has been lifted, there will be spending this summer although I am a little bit disturbed that James Milner is going to be allowed to leave.

    "This season they were just a little bit too complacent, I think this team have come to their end and they need a new breed of players."

  4. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:32 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    He may be rubbish at crosses but this man knows how to make a reflex save! Brilliant again from Victor Valdes, down to his left to push out Nikica Jelavic's volley.

    Hull couldn't do any more. Apart from score of course. And winning the game. But you get my drift.

    Well, they can't depend on their defence. Newcastle are still coming forward, still pressing back a pretty half-hearted West Ham side. Moussa Sissoko - as so often this season - has been their best player.

    A little over 15 minutes left.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:31 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    This is not an official Opta statistic but I reckon Steve Bruce has had his head in his hands 66% of the time today.

    A case of so near but no cigar. Bruce sends on Abel Hernandez and Sone Aluko. Time to go for it.

    The champions may sign off with a win after all, Loic Remy sending in a low shot which evades Vito Mannone and skids into the net.

    And he points to a team-mate to get the ball out of the net.

    Steven Gerrard hares onto Rickie Lambert's flick-on and slips the ball past Asmir Begovic in his final game for the club.

    The whole stadium responds with applause. A nice touch from the Britannia who had been mocking Gerrard's previous attempts on goal.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:27 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    This is not a change that suggests much ambition from West Ham.

    Young centre-back Reece Burke makes way to be replaced by the slightly-less-young centre-back James Tomkins.

    "Newcastle United's goal has given West Ham United's supporters the chance to turn their fury on manager Sam Allardyce. He is receiving what can be politely termed as the time-honoured gesture of disapproval from thousands of travelling fans along with chants of "You're Getting Sacked In The Morning."

    "That may be wrong on a contractual technicality but hard to see Allardyce being around for much longer."

    "Steve Bruce has got to start thinking about changes now. Hull need a bit of trickery and magic to get the impetus back."

    It could, should, be six.

    Marko Arnautovic is only denied by a superb last-ditch sliding challenge by Jordan Henderson as Stoke break and go three on two against Liverpool's ragged defence.

  13. Postpublished at 16:25 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    If bonus points were rewarded for effort, Hull would have a boot full today. they are all over Manchester United now but just cannot score.

    Even if they do, they will go down as it stands.

  14. Postpublished at 16:24 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    Twenty-five minutes to go.

    Too long to play keep-ball, and Newcastle have decided attack is the best form of defence. They are still coming forward.

    "Valdes has come for a punch, missed it and seemed to get Wayne Rooney. He's flat out on the pitch for the second time this season.

    "Hull are starting to go for it now. This is all they can do and hope the results go elsewhere for them, which at the moment it isn't."

  16. CLOSE!published at 16:22 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    This is painful to watch now. Again Hull are inches away from an opener as Robbie Brady's cross is flicked on, on and on past the post.

    Again, a simple touch would have done it. You have to feel sorry for Steve Bruce. He can't take much more of this.

    And that's another chance! Dame N'Doye volleys wide. Where's Dean Windass when you need him?

    West Ham don't look like they have much stomach for getting back into this one. But Sam Allardyce has thrown Morgan Amalfitano into the mix and he likes a bit of the unexpected.

    Five goals not enough? We'll see - there's still time...

  19. Postpublished at 16:20 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    Dearie me! Victor Valdes comes for a cross and gets nowhere near it, very sketchy from the former Barca keeper, the ball is there for Hull but it's their season in microcosm, they just can't force it over the line. Anyone?!

    Nobody puts their foot through it and Manchester United clear.

    Another one to tick off the bingo card - a rogue cheer from some Hull fans who must think that Newcastle have conceded. THEY HAVE NOT.
