After watching the Demba Ba goal, the aston villa defender goes in for a ruthless challenge on the new castle player on the initial shot, to me it looks really bad. Why are those types of plays not considered penalties?
Solid performance from Newcastle, bet they're relieved to have Ba back, and stoked to have Cisse on the side, the latter being a beautiful goal. And conversely, I think Robbie Keane should get "Goal Celebration of the Week" .
I also hope that Ryan Taylor's ok too - he's been one of Newcastle's best as well, and it'd be a pretty big blow to have him on the sidelines for an extended period.
I really enjoy watching and supporting all the EPL teams that use African players because they are so entertaining to watch.... Ba, Gervenioh, Adebayer, .... Can't wait for the African cup Final
Lets face it though all the players of every team except the ones that were not expected to do well playedvery poorly, almost like they are so scared of losing that they cannot play properly and did not play like they are capable. Senegal midfield was just horrible in ACON
I thought neither team was at their best today. Newcastle just edged it. Add cabaye, marveaux and tiote into that team and we're really kicking on! Hope are. Taylor and best are ok
