Another exciting match today! This is Sunderland's chance to express their hopes for the future and Newcastle's chance to show how far they've come. Should be a good one. Any predicitions?! (apart from O'Neill waving his arms around and feeling aggrieved about something)
Terrible red card. It was a kick at the ball, the side of his boot hit the player's shin guard and his foot was not coming down or straight into his leg; his foot was coming upwards, against his leg. If you say it's a red card then every time a player kicks someone in the leg it's red? The referee guessed.
To me it looked like it was Fletcher who 'hit' Tiote's foot and not Tiote's foot hitting Fletcher. If that makes any sense? Martin Atkinson taking one look at it and seeing it's Tiote then adding 2+2 and getting 5.
No need mate. It seems that opinions are divided 50/50 elsewere. In the Norwegian studio they say it's a clear red, so there you go
All I ask is we don't look as lacklustre as S'land today. ...and three points wouldn't go amiss either
