Hit the bar 3 times !!!

Battered them, Alonso got stretchered off

Barton sent off as well for it. Not sure if it was a red but it was a bad tackle.

Seriously, what a waste of time? The result was pre-determined, was just a matter og how many goals Liverpool would get...

It was a straight red, horrible tackle. Shearer was furious.

Yeah.

Shearer wasn't happy at all.

hat was a sickening challenger from a total thug. the fan who was hoisting his BARTON 7 shirt aloft at his dismissal is also a total clown. newcastle will go down, no doubt.
hope xabi's ok, i've heard it's only bruising ...

Hope so.

It's not like Alonso to go off on a stretcher, I mean, this is the same guy who tried to run off a broken foot!

TBH, it was a really bad challenge but he got some of the ball. Deserved a red, still.

Anyway, it was pretty shocking day yesterday, in terms of the North East clubs. Liverpool beat us too easily, and apparently Sunderland were even worse against Everton!

Yeah, he got the ball but he was over the ball if that makes sense?

Sunderland were bad, but... they could of went through sometimes if they played the right ball to Cisse who got into some good spaces.

Everton deserved the win though!

As much as I hate Joey Barton with a passion, I don't think it was a straight red offence for the tackle. The intent was to get the ball, he got some of it and didn't make the worst contact with Alonso.

I would have sent him off though because if you watch it again, you can see as he gets to his feet to retrieve the ball, he has a swift flick at Alonso with his right leg.

i admire shearer greatly. doesn't come out and try to defend him, instead he tells it as it is and takes necessary action (£120,000 fine by all accounts).
