Kenedy is a lucky boy, he was the aggressor, he put two hands in the face of Gana Gueye and you can't do that.

Ruairi: Rafa is underrated and undervalued. I know the Geordies love him but he's wasted at that level. He is capable of leading a title challenge, just not with this Newcastle team.

I think the only groan we will get in the stadium tonight is if the referee puts more than three minutes added time on at the end.

Imer: I don't understand where Everton fans expect their team to be. They're 8th, behind the top 6, a Burnley team who had a very good season, and the champions of 2 seasons ago. Evertonians should be happy, especially with their average squad!

Newcastle players are appealing for a penalty after it ricochets into Phil Jagielka's arm but Bobby Madley is having none of it.
DeAndre Yedlin then somehow misses the ball and ends up on the floor.

Jonjo Shelvey heads off as Mikel Merino comes on and the former Liverpool midfielder is booed off by the Goodison crowd.
Apparently Gareth Southgate is watching tonight - Shelvey has given quite a good account of himself tonight.

Pete: Not my quote, but read somewhere that Allardyce was our lifeboat. But having saved us, who goes back out sailing in a lifeboat? Horrible season, horrible football. Get rid.
