Huge fan of Newcastle suddenly deciding they no longer wanted anything from the game in the final minutes.

I mean ****ing seriously.

Young is playing like Di Maria and Di Maria is playing like Young and I don't like it and I'm frightened someone hold me

Are Jonny Evans/Man Utd for real? He didn't realise he was spitting at him? Denying it happened despite the whole thing being caught on camera?

They were both pretty disgusting but at least Cisse has come out and admitted his mistake, ugly as it was. The slightest bit of integrity would be welcome.

I'd love to know what the rationale is behind there being a seven game ban for spitting when stuff that can, you know, actually harm somebody gets three games at most. Oh wait there is none.

To clarify that actually because I didn't word that clearly, obviously spitting should be dealt with harshly but you get actual dangerous stuff that gets less than what Cisse has got which makes no sense to me.

I'm just laughing because it's basically what I said re Suarez when he was with us. I actually do agree with you. A bit disgusting, but I find the moral outrage out of sync with the actual harm it does.

It's such an English culture thing that people say they'd rather have their leg broken than be spat at. Pisses me off.

What is it with players can not cope after leaving Madrid to EPL, Ozil now Di Maria. Seems like Madrid just about knows when to release a player.

Maybe he needs a winter break. LVG could leave him in his best position and stop tinkering.

Annoying commentators trying to be all mature by having a go at villa pans for running on the pitch. Yeah before the whistle blows is stupid but after the game give them a break its a huge thing for them let them have a moment ffs.

I would though. Spitting's just such a snide, scummy thing to do.

7 games is too lenient IMO.
There's no long lasting consequences though. You're an Arsenal fan, you've seen players careers suffer in front of your eyes through broken legs. ****ing joke that people who've never had something similar happen to them try and brush it off as nothing and preferable to getting a bit of saliva tossed in your direction.

Özil is fine. Di Maria probably will be as well.

Though I do wonder if people jumped the gun a bit with Di Maria. He wasn't really that special for most of his Madrid days. When Arsenal signed Özil there was talk about a potential Di Maria scoop for £25m odd instead or as well. No one really said, "hang on, they should've got Di Maria instead". He had an excellent second half of last season, but I'm not sure it turned him from a high class player to the biggest Premier League import of all time. Ancelotti found a system to get the best out of him but LVG hasn't really come close to doing it or even trying.

I wonder if LVG thought he was getting someone he could use like Robben. Play defensive and have 1 guy who can create something so you can take 1 nils.

Go **** yourselves, all of you
Hey the mighty Grecians did you a favour, or you'd be in more **** than you already are. I would think we'd be quite happy with a Carlisle-Hartlepool double-relegation.
