If we can maintain our composure and keep getting to their crosses first they don't look having much bite through the middle. The first 45 minutes of this half will be key
-
Also look at the direction in which Tiote's foot is moving, it's swinging across and upwards.
-
Keep in mind that his other foot is on the ground - not live he came lunging in. If the height of the foot is proportionate to the punishment Larsson would be sitting the season out. Tiote was foolish but whatever way you dress it up it was not serious foul play and ergo the red card should never have been shown.
-
Went back and rewatched it, still not a red but clearly ridiculous from Tiote. Painfully ironic but Tiote himself was clearly fouled by their midfield ranga, and if he had the nouse to go to ground he'd have won a free-kick. Further on the actual contact Fletcher kicked into the in-step of Tiote but it was clearly a foul on Tiote for having his foot in there not near enough to the ball knowing that their player was in a superior position to win it.

For what reason?
-
Optometrist it is then. Not trying to be funny. A straight red is for serious foul play or violent conduct of which that was clearly neither. End off.

Are you watching an Internet feed over a 33.6k modem? How many pints down? Watch it again.

You're wrong. Even the biased commentators (not towards Sunderland but against Tiote) admitted it was a harsh decision.
-
No doubt we won't be able to appeal it either, even though it was blatantly not a red card. Given on reputation alone.
-
Atkinson is having a shocker at our expense.
-
Not a red though, fucking refs. Tiote had eyes on the ball from what I saw.
-
FFS Tiote!
-
at engages Sunderland 'lady' fan mouthing off in the background.
-
Nice job blind ref and linesmen.
-
They've already reverted to trying to kick Shola's head off.
-
Ben Arfa is certainly up for it.
-
Not that I'm suggesting he should try it ever again, mind...
-
Fuck me... Williamson just went by someone on the dribble! Well done...
-
Showed a little constraint there did Tiote... Still made a lunging tackle from behind though, but managed to do so fairly.
-
He was at least calm for that one... Hope he can keep a level head for the game... No Platoon moments.
-
Assist to the chosen One.
-
Fuck yes!!! Cabaye!!!

And We're On

Shite shite spot they've assigned for away seating. Really do not like our third strip and believe we should wear nothing but our black and white in the derby.
-
Largely agree with this, but suspect Pardew wanted a local in the side. For me that should have been Taylor... If he's fit enough for the bench he's fit enough to start ahead of Williamson IMO. Williamson seems the type to bottle it under derby pressure - hope I'm wrong there...
