this has to be bollocks doesn't it???

With the news that Tiote will have recovered from an injury sustained by a nasty elbow from Mikel to face Man City on Sunday, Roberto Mancini will be worried that his team are the next big scalp for Pardew's spoilers. The Italian was in the crowd at Stamford Bridge and saw enough to know that the Magpies could pose a far more difficult task than Man United's insipid offering on Monday. And with Vincent Kompany serving a suspension after picking up a fifth yellow card, City will want to wrap Kolo Toure in cotton wool for the rest of the week. The idea of Stefan Savic going up against Cisse doesn't bear thinking about. It truly would be brutal.

The only thing crueller than sending Savic to the slaughter is the idea that Newcastle could finish in the top four and miss out on playing in the Champions League if Chelsea beat Bayern Munich in the final on May 19. After a season of upsetting everyone else, it would be rather unjust for the biggest heartache to be imposed on the Magpies. As Wednesday showed, however, Pardew and his team won't concern themselves with the repercussions of a Chelsea victory just yet. And who knows, if they keep up the form that has seen them win seven of their last eight matches, they might even snatch third.

The fifth yellow card thing stopped being in effect ages ago. It's up to 15 for a suspension now, Vinnie is fine to play.

Piss poor journalism.

I thought that was the case. Fucking clowns

If that was the case I reckon Vinny's half time inquiry to Mr Marriner of "Was it necessary to book me?" may have been worded slightly differently!!

Not like f365 to get something like that wrong, they are usually spot on.

The cut off for suspesions from accrued yellow cards was the other week. Thats why sir Joseph didn't play against the rags.

If he had been suspended surley Geoff Shreeves would have told him after the game....

Ant! You fuckwit tosser... :-)
luckily enough I managed to regain my cool, stop reading at the second line, look at the source on the bottom and take a deep breath of relief...

You have to be more carefull, plenty of worn hearts around. the second bit of headline isn't precautionary enough, not for the daft I'm.

cheers
