sigh What? As I said, if it was a player from the other team people would have gone off it. Sick of him posturing as a moral benchmark on Twitter when he dives and stubs out cigars in peoples eyes. Did you go off it when Song stamped on his Achilles ?

sigh

Hehe, that's funny, some nufc fans on twitter think Joey's just committed treason. FFS Shearer a legend at the club as a player but a really, really bad analyst.

That's bordering on defamation of character tbh

I don't disagree with that at all, but he wasn't the one stamped on and slap, and didn't deserve a red, he got what he deserved which was a yellow.

f*** off you drama queen It was no more than a yellow but he's a completely selfish player. It's all about him and not the team. Would have been a nightmare if he got a red. But definitely no more than a yellow for his part. Drama Queen These people saying Barton's embarrased the toon again, and is a disgrace, that's not drama is it not, lol, you're insane. No one including me is denying that a yellow was deserved for his part in it all, so not really sure what you are going on about tbh, have you been drinking ? I'm going on about the yawn fest of "some so called NUFC fans" that gets bleated on here by drama queens and soopafans (it was bold in the quote). Your only angle on the fan's opinion, on this, is from this forum. And they're unlikely to have had a chance to "eat the crap that the press are serving". Sorry...it's just patronising bollocks. People can have an opinion on Mr Selfish without others questioning whether or not they're real fans or "so called fans", man Of course this is going to get blown out of proportion because it's JB...but he knows this. If that yellow was a red; all of the sooperfans would be p*ssed he was missing from the derby. He needs to grow up and keep his head down. Or at least have stoved Song's head in when he stamped on him Then call me a patronising git then, I wouldn't have had a problem with that, if you are gonna insult me get the insults right.

Why exactly, let him speak his mind, I've no problem with freedom of speech personally, it's a breath of fresh air in these days of people in all sports towing the party line all the time. He just has to be careful for his own job security what he says about his employers, just like everyone else in this world. We've banned Twitter, he might be on the transfer list but he's still a club employee. No they haven't banned it, I'm currently following Joey, Sammy, Danny Simpson and Brad Inman, none of those have closed their accounts, guess they are all gonna be transferred too then ? It's bwhat he says on twitter that they want to censor not the tool.

I thought Cabaye was poor today, but as others have said, the excuse we had for a pre season could explain the lack of cohesion in the middle of the park. He needs to work on his strength though, that's my biggest worry, he's a little lightweight for this league. You can be lightweight and effective in the PL,, players like Benyoun (sp?) show us that, but you got to work out what they do to compensate for that lightness, couple of times today Cabaye got in good positions only to be muscled off the ball. Still have a lot of hope that he'll adapt, if we had had a proper pre season him and the likes of Ba could be working on adapting to the club/PL but unfortunately now we have to do it in real games.

Since when has it been a sending off to drag divers up from the ground, it's happened many many times in games, it's never been a sending off.

I really don't understand some Newcastle fans today. Joey was stamped on and slapped. The only thing I think he should have done differently was the overeaction to the slap, don't have a problem at all with him dragged a cheater up after that dive. The press are killing him again as usual and some so called NUFC fans are happy eat the crap they are serving.

Gets way too much stick on here, was excellent today I thought.

Ba was awful today, and it's got to be a huge worry for us, anyone suggesting otherwise is off the reservation. However it is early, very early, he didn't get the pre season prep you would like, so I would suspect he's a little way off match fitness right now. No need to write him off just yet, needs time.

A point is better than we should expect but don't think there were too many good signs there today, gonna be a long season.

The bad boy barton. Fuck off comentator.

Sorry, but Barton is the one who lost his temper. He no onlty initiated the argument, but continued in a physical altercation once both were stood up. He still didn't strike his opponent, which is the big difference there

When you are stamped on, you are going to be a little annoyed to say the least. Commentators still saying joey should have been given a red, which is fucking wrong, just because it's joey.

Raised hands is an automatic red Totally agree, what exactly did joey's reaction deerved a yellow but he did nothing to justify a red.

They ahould have been down to ten anyway, so commentators can fuck off as far as i'm concerne

Mind that was no punch, wow commentators hate joey

That's fair commentators can't be live it, fuckers

Gervinho punch him. Commentators going mad at barton.

Really terrible game has either keeper had to make a save yet?

Shola's been ok today.
