However, Newcastle should and could have had THREE penalties, one for a foul on Janmatt and another for a foul on Colback, the third foul drew a penalty which Mitrovic scored.

Are you telling me that, when you jump, your arms stay stuck by your side? He wasn't even looking at the ball. 

Mike Dean shouldn't be a PL referee, he always makes himself the centre of attention.

(13 Jan 2016, 11:35 pm)LeeCalder wrote The referee in the Swansea v Sunderland game tonight should be ashamed.

The Swansea manager Alan Curtis said that the referee was "Completely out of his depth"

(13 Jan 2016, 11:37 pm)Michael wrote He was..

Not a pen and not a red card and the other choices he made....

Even Big Sam said it was a soft choice...

(14 Jan 2016, 7:22 pm)mb134 wrote Wasn't just the referee, the linesmen were shocking as well from what I've heard/seen, Defoe's first was definitely offside.

(14 Jan 2016, 7:26 pm)Davie wrote First one was offside, second and third were debateable.

(14 Jan 2016, 7:28 pm)mb134 wrote Aye, haven't seen the second and third from an angle where I can see for definite, so can't really say. Still think they've rode their luck for one season too many, and will finally drop down this year.

(14 Jan 2016, 7:33 pm)Michael wrote We will... Aston Villa is defo down, Newcastle is debatable - yes they've played decent in some games, like Sunderland but will it all fall apart?

(14 Jan 2016, 7:35 pm)mb134 wrote I think, or hope, that we have more in us than Norwich, Swansea and Bournemouth. We've seen sparks, we just need the fire to ignite.

(14 Jan 2016, 7:38 pm)Michael wrote Not the only team we've seen do that but hasn't happened..........

(14 Jan 2016, 7:40 pm)mb134 wrote True, however this month I also believe that Ashley will invest heavily, he has no other option. It'll be an interesting few months.

(14 Jan 2016, 12:07 am)Diamond One wrote Well the main thing is now despite Sunderland won we have climbed 1 place to 18th meanwhile Swansea are really starting to crumble I think there luck is running out it was bad for both Welsh clubs Swansea faired the worse as Cardiff City lost 2-0 away to Hull City thanks to Abel Hernandez and Sam Clucas but as for Hull they move up into 2nd as Derby County drew 1-1 away to reading

SUNDERLAND EYE AYEW

Sunderland have approached Swansea in an attempt to sign striker Andre Ayew, according to Sky sources.

However, it is our understanding that the Swans are keen to keep hold of the Ghana international, who only moved to the Liberty Stadium from Marseille in June.

NEWCASTLE IN FOR TOWNSEND

Sky sources report that Newcastle are in talks with Tottenham over a deal to sign Andros Townsend.

The Spurs winger has been linked with West Brom and Watford.
