As I'm on my way out I thought I'd get it started so I can have a read when I get back.

Aston Villa v Sunderland 15:00
Bournemouth v Leicester 15:00
Chelsea v Crystal Palace 15:00
Liverpool v West Ham 15:00

Stoke v West Brom 15:00
Tottenham v Everton 17:30

Sun 30 Aug 15

Southampton v Norwich 13:30
Swansea v Rags 16:00

Arsenal backline is dodgy as fuck, if Newcastle can get stuck into them they could get something here. But it's Newcastle, so....no, no they won't. Fuckers.

C'mon Newcastle.

Can't see newcastle holding arsenal out for long today but hope I'm wrong

Arsenal had a stone wall penalty waved away.

Mitrovic sent off after 16 minutes. That should be game over.

Mbemba just commits a blatant professional foul, how that's not a red these days is fucking beyond me.

Newcastle in danger of having a few more sent off. They're just kicking everything above grass level at the moment.

Thought that was harsh. Yellow for me

I thought so too, but that's what you get sent of for nowadays.
I didn't think there was real malice in it, but he did come down on his shin.
Yellow would have been sensible.

Especially as Sissoko got a yellow for exactly the same thing in the third minute.

This ref is either just bizarre or on something.

I think mitrovic is just suffering from a case of the balotelli's

Debut: Mitrovic booked after 11 seconds. 2nd match: Booked after 2 minutes. Today: Sent off after 15 minutes.

Newcastle have done well since.
Arsenal have only produced one chance that they should have scored in that half.

Arsenal had more of the ball but newcastle have had the brightest moments on the counter since that one parried shot was botched.

Unlucky to be 1 down, hope they nick an equalizer

Kind of think they deserve something out of this.

Other teams players have scored more for Arsenal than their own so far this year.

Well it's a potential leg breaker so I don't see anything wrong with sending him off. Straigh leg, weight on the Arsenal players shin. At least it looked like that to me.

Looks like Liverpool won the league again.
