Barton makes "worship" gestures to the crowd as they sing "There's only on Joey Barton", then beats his chest with his hand.

Best team in 45 years. Never mind, eh?

FINAL WHISTLE! GERRIN!

Toon corner!

120 seconds.

Come on, we can't let them pin us in our half, we've got an extra fucking man.

Now don't do anything fucking stupid.

"He's a cult figure" Yeah, nearly right.

Bye bye!

Over the top of the ball, horrible dick. Get him off.

Get Ameobertan off man.

Obertan has looked so very uninspiring.

Cattermole you filthy fucking cunt.

A mod's spilled beer on his phone I think.

GOAL PIE!

Shola with his patented "octopus falling out of a tree" style again.

Got absolutely nowt going forward like, can't just go on like this for another 40 minutes. Need something to get it out of our half for a bit.

Jetlag

They're trying to give me a fucking heart attack some of these lads like.

We're gonna get someone sent off, aren't we? Just to top it off.

Let's hope Webb sees a TV at half time. Although we know refs never try to 'even things up'...

BBC Live Text 1215: A HUGE let-off for Sunderland. Simon Mignolet fails to deal with the corner and Shola Ameobi nods it back for Joey Barton to divert it goalwards. His header is going in, until it hits Seb Larsson on the line... Replays show Larsson stuck out an arm to keep it out, but referee Howard Webb and his linesman both fail to spot it. Newcastle have to settle for a corner instead... and Barton is furious. 1218: So, by rights, Newcastle should have had a penalty there, and Sunderland should be down to 10 men. No wonder the Black Cats fans cheered the decision when Howard Webb had finished speaking to his linesman. Joey Barton, by the way, is still having his say to the referee. Expect him to be busy on Twitter later...

Handbags...

Phew, let off there.

David Milliband in the stands.
