Newcastle boss Alan Pardew on Cheick Tiote's disallowed goal: "We're in an entertainment business and the guy's hit a wonder goal that Joe Hart isn't going to save. "I'm not thrilled with the referee's answer when I've asked for an explanation as I don't quite get how he can disallow a goal of that quality on the technical point he is using. "Joe Hart is nowhere near it. It goes through a crowd of City players who are impairing his view. "It's a massive call on a very technical point. "Pellegrini said something to me on the touchline which I wasn't happy with, it was normal banter where I probably used words I shouldn't have in the heat of the moment and I apologise for that." -- Not exactly gone for the jugular. He's actually apologised.

Disgusting. Anyone who says English football isn't corrupt is cripplingly naive.

Tiote: "We asked the referee to explain why he didn't give the goal, but he didn't say anything so we had to get on with it." That's pretty telling

He hasn't trained all week.

Pardew has ruined our shape.

Magnificent post.

Precisely.

I'm glad I don't attend games anymore. Hard enough dealing with this shit without having to pay money for it.

Can we ban Klaus and DebuchyAndTheBeast please?

Ben Arfa could have had a penalty and a goal in 90 seconds.

Love Hatem.

Perfect opportunity to go for a 4-0 or 5-0 here. But we're choosing to defend the two. Better than defending one I suppose.

That miss was so bad, you'd think the whole thing was rigged.

That's worse than Torres.

Anita. Lush.

Composure.

UNBELIEVABLE!

United fans are pathetic. 1-0 down, at home, to US, and not even at 90 minutes.

EVERYTHING has gone through Cabaye today, and he's key to holding on to possession. Why do we bring Shola on to hoof and risk losing possession...

Can't deal with this like.

You just know Zaha's gonna score.

YES
