Good cross by Chadli. Awful corner. Jonathan Pierce calling Alnwick by his brother's name. Professional.
It should have been a pen (hand on shoulder), but he went down too easily which influenced the ref's decision. He doesn't want to develop Ashley Youngitis, does he?
1-0 HT. We've been decent enough and played some nice stuff at times, but we haven't taken our chances, haven't tested their keeper enough and we've been fragile on the break. Need a strong start to the second half, unlike last time.
Ref's a joke. Missed a blatant penalty and played on when Fazio went down with a head injury despite seeing it, then stopped play as he was getting up and we were on the attack... then he waits until we're ready to restart before ordering him off! Did he book Rose for that great tackle too? Fortunate with the goalkeeping mistake but we're deservedly winning, just need to get some more accuracy on our crosses as Newcastle are keeping it tight at the back.
