Newcastle Utd 0 - 1 Arsenal – 29/08/15

[dls]

Oh well, we weren't going to win anyway so it's not like it makes a huge amount of difference.

The 3 game suspension will.

[Andy the German mag]

What the **** is wrong with this guy? He worked on a red card in the previous matches as well.

[biggeordiedave]

They know how to play against him. Rile him up and make a big deal out of every contact with him.

[Ibra]

Red card and 2 yellows and we haven't even played 20 minutes yet .

[French Connection]

And I got up at 6:30 am for this... no better way to ruin a weekend than by watching some football in the morning.

[biggeordiedave]

4 red cards in this match. All for us.

[Donkey Toon]

We have two winnable games coming up. Last thing we need is players suspended.

[Captain Obvious]

Think a yellow would have sufficed for Mitrovic but can't really complain. Disappointing but seen them given.

[Ibra]

What a s*** touch by Haidara.

[The Deluded Pablo Diego Jose Francisco]

Another yellow...

[dls]

Tiote coming on. Imagine a situation where you're worried about cards so you're bringing Tiote on

[Goat]

Oh well, we weren't going to win anyway so it's not like it makes a huge amount of difference.

Apart from that he now won't be available for the next x matches.

I'd prefer Cisse for now anyway to be honest.

Cisse already has a goal this season. Mitrovic doesn't and he's got a red now and almost got himself sent off in previous games before that.

He needs time out to learn to control himself. In Cisse we've got a guy who scored 11 goals in only 22 apps last season and De Jong who scored only a few days ago. Mitrovic doesn't deserve special treatment and if he can't control himself, the other players deserve a chance.

[dls]

Everything about this game is f***ing appalling.

[Captain Obvious]

I just f***ing wish we had Ben Arfa, you could stick him up front and just say do what you do, if you lose possision who gives a f***

[dls]

Mbemba could have been off then

[Ibra]

I just f***ing wish we had Ben Arfa, you could stick him up front and just say do what you do, if you lose possision who gives a ****

Didn't Pardew do thag a few times and he was s*** upfront.

[Ibra]

Lucky there.

BBC Radio 5 live at St James's Park

"Attacking opportunities are going to be limited for Newcastle, so they have to make the most of every one. But this is a different Newcastle from last season - they are immaculately well-drilled."

Not so sure about "immaculately well-drilled", but there's a definite improvement compared to Pardew and Carver.
