How come Newcastle got one player sent off and just as many bookings as Liverpool (I don't count Cisse's, because that was for showing a message on a t-shirt, not for a foul) if Liverpool are much dirtier?

I'm very intrigued by our formation. 3-5-2, or 5-3-2, depends on if you count wing-backs as defenders. No, wing-backs aren't the same as full-backs (left-backs/right-backs), basically they're more attacking than full-backs but more defensive than wingers. 3-5-2 never usually works against good opposition, and I hope Rafa doesn't use it again. Glad that Cisse and Crouch both netted again too, now Crouch has scored in both Newcastle games. It's a good result, especially when we didn't start with some of our most creative players like Finnan, Alonso and Garcia.

And now we have more points than we did last season (61 to 58) with 7 games remaining, so it's been a vastly improved season.
