Agree, we missed him badly today. The kind of player who makes a 4-0 lead seem so much more comfortable.
Ironic then, that he was the reason we drew with the toon
had you blamed diaby for getting sent off at bolton for a reckless challange when we came back from 2 down to win 3-2 to keep our 07/08 title challenge it would have had credence.
much as i hate the excuse culture engedered at the club
we were robbed at newcastle
joey barton was lucky to stay on the pitch after a shocking 1st half tackle on diaby
missed by phil dowd
he then went thru the back of arshavin
no free kick or card
barton then went right thru diaby and while you can,t raise your hands it was a tame shove
he then gave 2 very soft penaltys
we even scored late on when on another day rvp could have been deemed level
but newcastle had a good goal chalked off as well
dowd is the ref that played phantom time at sunderland allowing them to score just like we were given phantom time to equalise in the league cup at reading another factor was losing djourou on 49 mins
he was in the form of his life having conceded 4 goals in 1057 mins a record any of georges famous 6 would have been proud of
laying the blame at diabys door is unfair
