Tom Davidson’s Swansea v Newcastle match report – the most complete tactics, stats and analysis you’ll find anywhere.

An average display by Newcastle at best but the Alan Pardew referee comments afterwards showed who he blamed, was the Newcastle manager right?

Following the debacle at Wigan, the referee, Mark Halsey has to this day still not been given another Premier League match to take charge of. Over a month later Halsey has instead been sent to the likes of Coventry, with Howard Webb now looking as though he has been sent down the same route.

The way the FA negated the fact that they wouldn’t investigate RVP on Cabaye by saying they wouldn’t investigate Tiote either. What sort of system is that?!

Newcastle United went toe to toe with the all but certain title winners and came out second best…but not by much.
