Games like this make you wonder why you bother.

Embarrassment.

It was silly to come in like he did, but there's no way in the world that was a yellow. If our players and our collective team had a pulse they'd be outraged into winning.

At least he won't be starting in our next premier league match.

And captain Ameobi has been sent. What a leader.

CT's old object of affection is warming up again...

Kluivert sent one into orbit there.

That touch from Obertan... Just embarrassing.

Perch is coming off for Dummet, can only assume Perch has some concern? Ranger for Abeid.

Yep, tell him he's got 15 minutes to state his case for staying out there and it he doesn't make a convincing argument hoy him.

The side is very badly lacking leadership and structure, I guess in some ways to be expected with such an inexperienced side. Shola is isolated, often against two defenders, but rather than utilising the extra space this affords they'll just lump it up to Shola anyway. Abeid in particular has been anonymous, replacing him with Marveaux would make sense if Sammy Ameobi wasn't out there begging to be taken off first. Abeid at least gives the feeling that he has some end product, not sure why.

Good interchange between Santon and Obertan but ultimately the Frenchman wasted it.

Shite defending then, we were lucky they didn't take advantage of it.

Completely pointless yellow for Abeid.

Hopefully snaps us into gear. Bridge has surprisingly looked very dynamic for them... Maybe testament to Obertans defensive contributions.

It was a quality finish.

Down 1-0.

Good clearance off the line from Perchy

Marveaux is on the bench, expect him to be called on if required.

Don't be ridiculous - Shefki is well past it. Njazi is where it's at.

Given our vast expanse of French players (a number of whom are in the full French national side) you would have to give an advantage from the off to him coming to us. Also, if he watches any of the games of both clubs, he would see that despite our very many shortcomings at this moment in time we are vastly ahead of QPR who look extremely likely to be relegated. It would however be typical of Redknapp to ball-ache about how many of his players are on grossly inflated wages and then bring in a player 'of his own' on grossly inflated wages. There's also a lot to be said for players actually wanting to come to Newcastle, if he doesn't want to come then I don't want to have him - of course this is all just media speculation at the minute time will tell the story. Basically if he decides he wants to go to QPR I won't be bothered at all because a move like that tells me that he isn't the player for us. Edit: And finally you could draw similarities between him and Djibril Cisse in that they're both reknowned for their pace and power.

End of the day you can't expect a player to show loyalty at a club where there is absolutely no chance of it being reciprocated.
