De jong lunged in both feet off the ground using vastly excessive force - frankly it's ridiculous to draw any comparisons between the two.
-
BTW Pardew has never said that he believes it was a red. Which is 100% correct. The referee made the decision that it was a red based on his interpretation of the severity of the challenge and the intent of Tiote. He got it wrong, but there was a foul there anbd it was completely careless and so to argue against the judgement of the referee when it's a matter open to interpretation would be unequivocally fruitless in the context of an appeal to the FA. They would never down grade or overturn it on principle alone. Pardew has accepted that and has rightfully moved on.
-
The thing with Xisco is I'm still keen to actually see him play a few games to see what if anything there is to his game.
-
Agree that not a lot of the wages would be covered in the scheme of things. Were the rumours not that he was on 40k? Perhaps a quarter of that. Anyway, suppose it's splitting hairs as he's been an unmitigated disaster in terms of value even if they picked up his entire wage.

And surely some of Xisco's wage would have been convered when he was loaned out.

Williamson has been good somewhat surprisingly. They were shite.
-
Getting fouled apparently means you can haul someone down by the neck with no punishment.
-
For fuck Sake... Deflection strikes again
-
Weirder looking version of Jay Mohr's just come on for them... So not to be outdone Pardew unleashes Obertan.
-
Taylor on for Colo... Nervous. We're not going to have much of the ball in the last 10.
-
Worth saying that it was a lovely finish from Cabaye. Taylor getting ready to come on, hopefully not for Colo.
-
Ba... So close!
-
Perch... Loving it!
-
Really is a class above.
-
Finally Ba gets a free-kick.
-
Another incorrect decision.
-
Absurdly bad refereeing continues.
-
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.
