a very harsh match summary from .com
"A weak header fell to Maxi Rodriguez and his scuffed shot was going to be easily saved by Tim Krul until Simpson inexplicably stuck out his elbow to divert the ball past his 'keeper in front of the travelling fans.
Had the ball not gone in then it would almost certainly have been a penalty and a decent right back must surely be high on Pardew's shopping list as well as a Carroll replacement."
High on the shopping list??? I can think of at least 5 positions i would stregthen before i even thought of a right back!
That's quite a jump!
He didn't do anything last night that Guthrie didn't/couldn't do.
Can't remember the last time Guthrie came close to scoring, personally.
I can barely remember the last time he passed it forward....
