Newcastle are the definition of dish it out but can't take it - and the ref falls for it. 

Yes that is a red - but he has been giving them all the soft calls all game. 

Ranking each Premier League club for ‘dark arts’

1. Newcastle United

Newcastle have a reputation for dark arts under Eddie Howe that has been very well earned.

Assistant manager Jason Tindall remains one of the league’s biggest wind-up merchants, playing the role of Howe’s attack dog in the fourth official’s ear, generally being active and vocal on the touchline.

Goalkeeper Nick Pope is prone to getting an “injury” at opportune moments when Newcastle need to have a breather and Howe needs to have a word with his team.

You can almost guarantee that Fabian Schar will go down with an apparent head injury in most matches, yet never comes off because of them, while Jacob Murphy is very much a s***houser — he waved Southampton’s Duje Caleta-Car off the field when he was sent off against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup a couple of seasons ago. And a couple of seasons ago Jamaal Lascelles picked up two separate cautions while warming up on the touchline for delaying opposition throw-ins.

In April, after Newcastle won at Brentford, their manager Thomas Frank was furious with Newcastle’s tactics: “We need to look into the dark arts of football and be aware of the sportsmanship,” he said in a press conference, while also revealing that Brentford’s staff were more vocal with the fourth official because “we know that Newcastle have that strategy”, calling out Tindall specifically.

Bruno Guimaraes was, by a distance, the most fouled player in the Premier League last season and he’s at it again this year, with 22 fouls won — more than any other. Second on the list? Anthony Gordon on 17.

Newcastle remain the standard-bearers for the phrase by the philosopher Joey Tribbiani: “If you’re going to do something wrong, do it right.”

xSH – 10/10

This club fucking stinks, we didn't have a chance before kick off, we had no hope after 3 minutes and now we may as well walk off

This could be 3 or 4

I'm sick of this club I really am. Watch the pre match talk between Eddie Howe and Maresca. the same question was asked to both about is this the biggest game of the season, Howe answered without doubt, it's massive Maresca answered "it's ok we have games to play"

The bloke is killing this club
