SISSOKO!!!!!!!!

What a result, what a game! I genuinely thought we were dead and buried ad 1-2. Thought Pardew had went negative and too deep in the second half like Tuesday night.

But nope!! These 2 new signings look amazing.

Benitez seems to think he should have had a pen for the nose breaker on Ba, and that changed the game, should have been a red card etc. No doubt Chelsea fans will be going mental over twitter about it. But I'm sure none of them will mention the two footed challenge by Ramires which deserved a red card...

Overall we played better than Chelsea and deserved the win. Sissoko is bargain at less than £2m. 6 and a half year contract looking good now ;)

Ramires's tackle was nasty, again, but it wasn't that bad, it wasn't a red. LIkewise Colo's was bad, not intentional but also not a red. Firstly Ba made his shot, so a goal scoring chance wasn't prevented, and it was bad luck more than anything else, I really can't decide if I would have given the penalty, maybe, maybe not. Ultimately if things didn't happen how they did, if a penalty was given, who knows how the rest of the game would have played out, could have ended up 4-1 to Newcastle, or 0-27 to Chelsea, you can't ever say "we deserved a penalty, therefore with that extra certain goal as no one misses penalties, we'd have certainly won or got the draw".

Newcastle are looking better, they really did look improved most of December, not brilliant, but some good spells and good halfs, just the final 20 mins against Arsenal/Utd were abysmal.

It's a bit funny/ironic that you finally buy a CB and Taylor comes back from injury and, while last week I think lack of fitness played a huge part in the second half showing of poo by the defence, he looked better this week.

Was a bit disappointed from the replay that he actually did block that shot with his nuts, I forget who they were playing but his blatant handball block then pretending he took it in the nuts years ago was brilliant :p

Sissoko's certainly looking good, Cabaye post injury seems back towards last years form, Cisse is playing better, Debuchy looks pretty good and a proper CB in for Williamson is the biggest improvement in the team.

The only thing I can't work out is, Perch, I'd play almost anyone else you had over him, Gael, Anita, Pardew, Carr, Ashley :p

Hope not, winding those classless *******s up very well.

Sissoko was really good today, Cisse and Lampard missed sooo many chances.

John Terry is ****ing terrible, the longer he plays the better for everyone but chelsea.

Agree with DM on Perch, 10 men would be better

Rooney woodwork again! Nice play from Nani and Cleverley.

Valencia is doing nothing again, looks terrified to run at anyone so just lays it off to Rafael to do all the work.
