Disgraceful this ref. No surprises the commentators though it was a fantastic tackle.

Shame Ben Arfa can't speak English... could have warned Carroll to shoot that first time.

Get up and back in your position, Nolan.

Yeah seems to be getting to some of our lot.

"that's a booking" What an utter dick. Just begging for it.

Aye, biased prick. When the replays prove him wrong you can hear the shrinking in his voice.

Fucking hell ref. Again...

Utter bullshit again from the ref. Never a foul on Yakubu.

What the hell? We're taking the piss here...

Nice Shearer like elbow there from Carroll!

Ben Arfa doing a great job there running back and forth to pressure Arteta.

Would love this to be the most boring and uneventful half of footie I've seen a long time

Meh. Luckily just about crossed the line.

@OptaJean: 1 - Hatem Ben Arfa has scored for Newcastle with his first ever shot in the Premier League. Impact.

Will the French media be wanking over that goal over there tonight? Tend to stay away from a lot of French coverage, but they seemed very interested in the whole saga. Hope so. A few people on a French forum I post on wanking over it already though.

Please don't ruin that goal, NUFC... hold!

Oh you can be sure we're probably going to get more stoppage time than necessary after all the fuss last week.

That. Goal. Was. Ridiculous.

Ugh.... Linesman had a great view and didn't flag (for the Tiote challenge). Nice one ref answering the cries of the crowd.

Here is Everton's spell then. Arteta is such a soft shit today.

He did... but it was still a bad challenge.

Commentators talking bollocks. Beckfod challenged and slid into Harper's standing leg.

They are neutralising Routledge's pace really well so far, a little frustrating.

Go fuck yourself Perch.
