Newcastle down to 8 men, why ? Well when 2 of your players fight amongst themselves,apparently they get sent off.
Who do you look in the eye next morning ?
Lee Bowyer is a complete lunatic.

That is one of the most bizarre things I have seen in a football match for many many years, which is saying something from a Man City fan.
Bowyer is a total headcase and has a ridiculous track record for violence, most of which has been kept quiet over the years by the clubs he has been at.
He is a total disgrace and should never wear that shirt again. Even at the press conference, you could see him struggling to actually apologise, mainly because talking is such a tricky task for him, but also because he clearly didn't mean it.
The Newcastle fan on MOTD summed it up perfectly. Here was a guy who has follwowed his team for years and felt utterly let down by people who really couldn't give a toss about Newcastle and just want to pick up their stupidly inflated pay packets at the end of the month.
I am not a fan at all of Souness but I thought he handled the whole thing very well indeed - he needs now to deal with Bowyer the way he dealt with Bellamy.
Disgraceful.

It's frustrating because on his day there's not that many midfielders as good as he at getting forward beyond the front two or getting on the end of crosses etc. Bit Platt-esque almost.
PS: Commiserations regarding today's game. Looked like you deserved to win.
Originally posted by LazerblueAnd at around - I think - £500,000 per place that means two million quid! Why, that's enough to buy almost half a John Macken!! 😉
Thanks! We were superbly wasteful !
Still at then end of the day it may only make the difference between finishing 12t or 15th
