3-1 to the Lads.

Let's do this!

4-1 to the toon, with 4 different scorers, ba, cisse, cabaye and colo all to net for us

I'll go for 3-1 but that really depends on which team turns up.
Will it be the one that played poorly last week or the one that trounced Manure earlier in the season..

As it's Sunderland we are playing against, the lads should surely be up for it.

C'mon Newcastle

I am going for a 3-1 win, Cabaye will get on the score sheet

Already a booking for the Mackem captain

20 minutes in and 4 yellow cards already?

A penalty from another silly challenge grrr!

Sunderland 1 Newcastle 0

4 Bookings for our lot already and a penalty gifted by Williamson FFS.

1-0 Sunderland

How rough is this match 6 yellows and a penalty in 24 minutes?

His is the wot officiated game I've seen in a long time. And who's his asshole on the call?

We are, however, being dominated tactically.

And that's not a yellow? Get your f00king finger out Dean, you asshole. There's more to being a ref than giving penalties.

I can see a couple of red cards being given if they don't calm down.

I'd like to punch Dean in his fat f00kig head. Biased bullshit, not fit for a pub league.

These officials should be ashamed of themselves.

To be fair there have been endless silly challenges some less innocent than others. Tiote is lucky not to have been booked.

Sure, no doubt. But McClean should have been sent off and Bardsley should be in the book. Also, we WILL see a foul in the box just like that at some point from Sunderland. It'll be interesting to see if it's still a pen then.

This is he most biased call I've ever heard. Several weaker fouls (including the penalty) have been given against us.

We can exploit this zonal marking. As we saw at LFC under Benitez, it doesn't work.

And there it is. How is that not a penalty, obvious push.

I hope Pardew gives them an earful when they get in the dressing room.
Apart from a few minutes here and there Newcastle have been awful.
They need to settle down.

The players need to get a grip of the game, the are playing into Sunderland hands and not trying to play football. The service that the front two have had is disgraceful

The referee has been rubbish today, and at this rate there will be some red cards coming out. AP needs to kick off with that performance.

We're getting run over, tactically. We need another midfielder or it's game over. AP needs to get that right too. HBA was warming up.

Can we play any shitter?
What the @#$%& has happened to our lot?
Self belief...gone
Putting 3 passed together...gone
Demba ba...gone
I was actually happy when Sunderland scored because I thought it would get us playing!
Oh well, hopefully we will come out like a different team in the second half.
Just to make up for the fulham game and the wolves game.

ANd there it is again-apparently shirt pulls are fine when done by SUnlun.

Sessegnon OFF

And again, the commentator thinks Tiote has "made a meal of it." Disgrace.

C'mon Newcastle, surely we can beat 10 men.

Commentators for ESPN watching a different game "Didnt get tiote in the face at all

It's worse than that though. Reaction to every foul given against us: Dean's gotten it right AGAIN!!1!

Reaction to every foul given against Sunlun: well, I guess the rules are the rules...technically...*sniff-sniff*...

Tiote did make a meal of it. He was barely touched - and only on the chest.
Tiote was cradling his head as if he'd been hit by an iron bar.

Is this second commentator a mackem?

I'm guessing he is. But even he had to admit that one was a pen.

Mike Dean is determining the outcome of this game. You get the impression that's his intention.

Cisse off Ameobi On

Tiote was caught on the lip - we slow moed the game and watched his lip wobble.

But no where near as hard as it would have appeared when he went down.

I think the second commentator is Chris Waddle, he played for both Newcastle and Sunderland.
He's a geordie.

About damn time.

Penalty - Ba MISSES

Oh No! I was hoping they'd let Shola take the penalty.

How did I know BA was going to miss that!
I just knew it!

wow not meant to be today I guess

If I was in charge I would fine these players a weeks wages and hold extra training sessions.
Football should be like any other job in the sense that if you don't work well, you don't get paid.
That would have them winning every game, I'm @#$%& tell you.

1-1 AMEOBI (again against Sunderland)

Wor Shola!!!!!!!!!!!

Now official: without Dean, this is a win.

But I said I'd take a draw yesterday, so...

On a positive note, mike Ashley doesn't look well

Lee Cattermole sent off after the whistle!

Red card for Cattermole I think for dissent

Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.

What a relief. Why the @#$%& wasn't Shola taking the peno?!

I thought the same thing, i!-but note that even the mackem commentator noted that Mignolet was closer to the spot than the line (but then averred that it was a GREAT save...pfft).

Chris waddle is a dirty mackem, his commentating was totally biased it seriously peev'ed me off. And no replays of any of our pens shouts at full time. ffs i hate the media.

Second half performance was excellent, and people may say that we played agaisnt 10 men, but we were well back in the game before the lad got sent off. In the second half we got the ball down and actually tried to create some chances. The penalty was awful, but then BA has been great all season so won't slag him off, and if you see his interview you could see how p@ssed off he was with himself. Shola keeps it up in the derby match.

taking both halfs into account, we atelast deserved a draw, and thought we did enough to easy win the game. Maybe this point but more important second half performance could be enough to get the club over the finish line and get us to finish above Liverpool which I would have taken anytimeespecially with the money they have spent.

The cheeky f***er all but accused the non-playing Newcastle staff of intimidating the officials at half time to influence the decisions in the second half!

The story is a load of cr@p, it says Sunderland went down to 9 men, they had one player sent off in the second half and then one after the match. We had one of the coaches sent to the stands for the second half as it kicked off in the tunnel.

I am glad AP had his spat with O'Niell as to me he showed how much the game meant to him and the fans, give me that reaction everytime of him and I am happy. I don't believe anything in that story, not saying words were not said when they were walking off the pitch but reckon both teams would have done that. Listened to AP after the game on espn and he never slagged off the referee which he probably could off as Cattermole tackle should have been red and we should have had another penalty when the lad handled it when BA went up for the header

referee was shocking, i cant understand why a tackle which is easily a sending off after 60mins is not a sending off after 20secs!

Referee was pulling us up for silly things and letting the @#$%& push and pull us all over the place!

I personally think that Cattermoles tackle was planned, he was sent onto the pitch withthe instruction to hurt our strongest player (Tiote) at the very first opportunity, this alone should be a red card!

I counted including the penalty given 6 penalties we should have had, 3 were definate and 3 were ones that could have easily been given!

We didn't play well in the first half and this was partly due to the fact that sunderland came out to disrupt us and the referee allowed them to do that to a greater degree than the @#$%& could have hoped for!

It was a shame for Ba missing the penalty but Shola should have been taking it in the first place!

I was talking to a guy after the match and he was telling me the squad have been having 10mins after each training session where Carver, Pedro and Stone have been explaining to the foreign lads what this derby means to us geordies and Pardew gave a very quick teamtalk at half time to allow Carver to remind the players of the geordie pride that was at stake!

Agree about the penalties, mental. I thought the one on HBA was legit, there were the two possible handballs (O'Shea I though it was handball; the one where Jonas cut in from the left I wasn't so sure) and the one definite handball (when 6'2" Ba jumped and the defender's hand still blocked the ball making it to him). Also, Ba's pen should have been retaken and I think whoever it was with the studs-up challenge on Colo should have walked. I've seen it for less. (such as the one that got Kompany suspended).

The referee was bad on the day, and I know the pundits thought he did well, but it was a red card in the first minute as well as some penalties that we should have had. I know people go on about Shola taking the penalty but maybe you need to look at the bigger picture, the first team penalty taker you would imagine would start most games in case you get one, but Shola rarely starts as he isn't in the best 11, so how would that make BA feel that he has to step out of the way if Shola is on

why wont it let you write s_c_u_m?

Had Shola been a lot better than Ba at penalties then Shola would have taken it, obviously they are similar or Ba is better, Ba is the first choice striker so he gets the job!

Ba has already said he changed his mind on the run up and the keeper was well off the line so it was a bad penalty from all areas!

Put it this way: I'm sure Ba has put the penalty behind him.

Let's do the same.

But he still hasn't put it behind Mignolet...


Sorry couldn't resist.
