Would have settled for the point beforehand. Injuries obviously didn't help, but Pardew attempting to shut up shop at half time (as he did against WBA last week) seems to becoming something of a worry. No probs with Colo being sent off - done for intent, but bemused as to how Sterling got away with the hack and Cisse and kicking out at Simpson.
Thought young Sammi had a really good cameo when he came on. Looks quick, direct, great feet and balance.
