Unbelievable

We're going to conceed at least another two here

Janmaat

Wat a shambles

can you get another 45mins overtime?

Missing the first half due to work commitments. How are we doing?

3-0

I hate Blind.

Wow. We've signed a good player without looking at his future resale value?

So, haven't really paid attention today. Which defender have we bought to replace Willo?

This still going on?

No, I don't agree that it was a yellow, I didn't even think it was a foul. Alright.

I think we can all agree it was a yellow at the very least. Out of interest, does anybody think he would have made it until the end of the game without a second booking in a game with such a trigger happy referee? And iff he had stayed on, would McClaren have taken him off before the inevitable second booking?

f***ing hell, do you ever stop? f***ing disgusting this like, UB. To think I once had respect for you. FFS

I can't wait for him to be dropped again and the usual suspects suffering from amnesia coming in to say he isn't suited to the Premier League and has never played a good game for us, ever. Hopefully those days are behind us now Pardew has gone, but I can't say it would surprise me in the slightest. A very good performance once again Vurnon, keep it up

Absolutely this. The people who are advocating, probably rightly, that if earlier incidents like his two earlier bookings and the penalty decision in this game would left out of the equation a yellow and a stern telling off would have sufficed need to ask themselves would they have left him on the pitch after that or taken him off as a precaution? This happened in the 16th minute and surely any leeway would have been gone so he would have had to play in a very controlled manner for the remaining 74 minutes + ET, and I don't think he has that in him. As much as it's valid to suggest the sport has gone soft and the referee could have been a bit more lenient, there is also undeniably a problem with the player himself, who just looks like an accident waiting to happen at this stage. Also, his card will not only be marked with referees, but also opposition players and managers who will try to use his reputation against him from now on. A lot of work is to be done to keep that bit of aggression that makes him a nuisance as a part of his game without it spilling over quite so frequently.

Oh shit. Gini

It's probable been mentioned, but Jetro Willems was in SJP again today supporting his mate Bigi.

He's not coming on is he? Being readied according to NBC

Keep Obertan off the fucking pitch please

Ayoze!

Colo own goal

'sake

McClaren, the coaching staff and our senior players have their work cut out picking this lad up. He must be devastated, as I actually believe these stupid challenges are partly a consequence of a young lad being desperate to impress on the big stage.

Would have felt aggrieved if he got a yellow for it man. I think there's plenty here seeing the challenge for what it is. I'm gutted that he's been sent off and we'll have to do with Papiss Cisse for the next three games now, but we can't really complain about that sending off if we're being honest. If Lee Cattermole made that challenge in front of a St. James' crowd we'd be calling for his head.

NBC saying they disagree with referee's association regarding Mitro's sending off saying it was a red for reputation
