Newcastle United v Arsenal [3pm St James; Setanta Sports 1]

iMuse

For fantasy football reasons, Cesc needs to stay on and score a hat trick

greendom

Djourou limping off - hope its nothing serious

Frisbee

Djourou limping... fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

iMuse

The Sh1t has hit the fan with our lack of CB's

Cesc off at HT for Rosicky.

Give RVP+Theo until 60 before replacing them with Bendtner+Chamakh.

No need to risk more players with Barca on the horizon, especially with Barton on the pitch.

Looks like its Diaby ya need to be worried about.

That_Guy

And Barton's a knacker yeah?

Frisbee

Oh ffs...

Johner

Should have lamped him.

iMuse

Diaby had to go there TBH, Barton as usual is involved

Stupid from Diaby, but that's a ****ing disgusting challenge from Barton mind, absolutely ****ing disgusting.

They always start this craic when they're getting beat.

Winning the ball is considered as disgusting now is it?

Fuzzy_Dunlop

whatever about Diaby's reaction, he obviously deserved to go. But how the **** was Barton not even given a yellow for that tackle?

Frisbee

Not trying to defend that sending off, but it was a nasty challenge from Barton. If Diaby had have been smart (which he seems incapable of) he would have recognised it was Barton and wound him up for ten minutes and Barton would be the one sent off.

Hank Scorpio

didnt see much wrong with that tackle

Youve watched all 25 of their other matches this season have you? I think youll find theres nothing wrong with their attidtude when theyre behind, Your cliche/stereotype is about 2 years out of date.

That was a potential leg breaker from Barton. All his weight went through Diaby's standing leg, it nearly buckles under the strain. This is only really obvious from the reverse angle tho so can understand why the ref didn't see it, but can also understand Diaby's reaction, it was reckless from Barton.

Barton's a good player, Diaby was very foolish there, but he's already had his leg broken and Barton wasn't far off doing it again.

If Djourou's out for any amount of time, we're fucked, cheers for that defensive signing Wenger!

That_Guy

4 more red cards and we win the game by default.

Nice. If an Arsenal player won the ball and then elbowed the opposition through the momentum of the tackle, it would not be considered dangerous play because he won the ball.

sagna is as solid as a rock this year.

Them London clubs get all the decisions.

I take it back, Leon Best is Mint lol

Fuzzy_Dunlop

haha just seen everton had a goal wrongly disallowed earlier and now they're losing. Say Moyes will be happy with the ref for that, won't say a bad word about him I'm sure.

amacachi

Referees...

Frisbee

Peno.

It couldn't possibly happen...

Could it?

That_Guy

THE COMEBACK IS ON!!!!

wandatowell

Nolan should have went there,

Nice to see Lehmann's influence rubbing off on Chezzer :P

greendom

So why wasn't Nolan sent off?

Mr.Crinklewood

More foolish stuff from Arsenal..no wonder their disciplinary record is so poor.

Essien

How is Nolan not booked there? :eek:

Thankfully football will be the winner during this game.

Oh, a goal back, the comeback's on :rolleyes:

Headshot

such double standards from the ref

the untitled user

Now why doesn't Nolan get sent off for that? He caught Chesney by the head.

L'prof

Where the fuck is Nolan's red???

Frisbee

WTF?

How in Nolan not booked there but Diaby gets a red card?

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Nolan just did the exact same thing as Diaby did and nothing.

amacachi

Gotta love consistency.

Mr.Crinklewood

He was booked.

That_Guy

Ah Nolan, you bold boy.

Pepe LeFrits

What the **** ref? Nolan can do headlocks now? ****ing useless clown.

CR 7

Chesney was very decent there, didn't react to Nolan at all, he probably would have made the ref make a decision if he did.
