I definitely think he should have received his marching orders. Gervinho had to go as well, because no matter how minimal the contact was, no matter how over exaggerrated Barton's reaction was, you are not allowed to make contact. Back to what I was saying though, Barton should have also been sent off. He grabbed Gervinho by the throat, when there was absolutely no need to make any contact whatsoever with him.
I was rather bemused when watching the reaction of Pardew after the game. He tried to defend Barton and acted as if the interviewer was wrong for suggesting that Barton deserved to go.
The most shameful act had to go to Alex Song though. Disgusting stamp from him. Wenger has to look at himself if he condemns actions of other teams, but stands for that.

Pardew is Bartons bitch.
Be nice if football would quit these phaggy rules. If you drag a guy off the floor and start a load of crap you should get in trouble. If you fall on the floor like a bitch from a little slap you should be laughed at and the guy who did it should get a yellow. If its a punch fair enough but we've got men acting like 2 year old children and its embarrassing.

Barton should have been sent off, from what I hear Song should have been sent off though as well.
Gervinho rightfully sent off.
Whoever took Suarez down should have been sent off, as well.
Just because its the first game of the year, doesnt mean u cant send somebody off, as the ref in the arsenal game showed.

Haha, I just saw it for the first time, and wow no he did not.

If Gervinho used his brain and walked away, both would've just been yellow carded.
and Song should've been off.
Yes he swiped at him, but the referee gave nothing, so Barton has no need to touch him, yes he was stamped on and frustrated, but I will say it again, So was Sagna, he took it out on someone after, and was shown a red, Barton deserves the same. Just walk away to Barton, and this incident is avoided.

At least he admits it.
I have to agree with what Wenger says there: "If he had seen it, he would have sent both of them off, or nobody."

Should Arsenal have got a penalty because Barton assaulted him in the box?

The red card was correct. Joey Barton did nothing wrong. Gervinho was already getting up and Barton just pulled him up. Gervinho instantly fought him. A yellow card for Barton should be the maximum punishment.
No he didn't.
You bum fuck Barcelona so grabbing people by the neck is alright to you.

hell no, he did nothing red card worthy, you dont get a red card for pulling someone up

I know, but you shouldn't get a red card for being pulled up, by someone frustrated, then you slap him, and he falls over. I mean, why did he not just walk away, he doesn't need to prove a point, it isn't like the longer you stay on the ground, the more chance you have of winning anything that has already been given.

Yep, because Barton picked up Gervinho in a nice and friendly manner..
If you clip the back of someone's ankle they get a free kick. As kyro just said, Barton grabbed Gervinho while the ball was in play.

Point proved, Barton doesn't need to touch him.

who cares about if he should have done it or not...
the question is, did he deserve a red, and thats a clear NO

That wasn't what I was arguing, I was saying neither of them did, as Gervinho was provoked, was he angry until Barton touched him? No.

Yes, Barton could of kept going with the ball but instead stops to violently pick up Gervinho by the shirt. He had no reason to do so what so ever.

Gervinho got mad when he hit Barton, his face was like:

Looks like Barton raises his hands here.
Not to mention he assaulted him in the first place. Not to mention we shoulda had a penalty when Gervinho got bought down in the first place, not to mention we shoulda had a penalty when Barton started on Gervinho.Referee

Referee
ahm no, he is pulling his shirt up so his hands end up being at the same height as his head.. still pics are stupid
also, not to mention Song stamping on Barton which should have been a red for song before any meaningful thing happened, not to mention gervinho diving earlier in the game which should not have been a foul, not to mention gervinho trying to cheat a pen by moving his feet towards the newcastle defender and going down with the smallest contact which he created
referee
if song had got a red the game would have changed and newcastle could easily have won. so arsenal fans have no case
