Arsenal v Newcastle United, 20:00 GMT (18/01, SS Main Event)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Newcastle haven't won in a long time in the league, I really hope we're not in a charitable mood again at home.

[GP]

3-0

Willian hattrick

[Mac76]

0-3 Wilson hatter

[Marc Overmars]

2-0.

Probably make hard work of it like the cup game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal: Leno, Cedric, David Luiz, Holding, Tierney, Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Smith Rowe, Aubameyang, Lacazette.
Subs: Runarsson, Bellerin, Gabriel, Elneny, Willock, Willian, Pepe, Martinelli, Nketiah.

Newcastle: Darlow, Krafth, Lascelles, Clark, Lewis, Shelvey, Longstaff, Almiron, Joelinton, Carroll, Wilson.
Subs: Dubravka, Ritchie, Hayden, Hendrick, Manquillo, Yedlin, Murphy, S. Longstaff, Anderson.

[Mac76]

I'd prefer Ceballos to Xhaka but no surprise Arteta's picked him

[Gooner23]

I'd prefer Ceballos to Xhaka but no surprise Arteta's picked him

Injured apparently

[Gooner23]

AMN not in the squad, if we get a good offer for him in the summer I think he'll be off.

[Mac76]

Injured apparently

ok, that's a shame

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

Should dominate midfield not that it necessarily means much for us. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shit cross from Almiron.

[Mac76]

wish i was there :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Krafth. :lol:

Awful cross.

Not sure why Partey let it bounce before that but nevermind.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba should've done something with it earlier.

Good pass from Partey.

[Marc Overmars]

Trash from Auba. Had no idea if he wanted to shoot or pass.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great challenge from Holding. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Xhaka is a lazy, undisciplined waste of space. Even when he has time, he's sloppy. Like a fat deposit in the heart of the team.

[Mac76]

Great challenge from Holding. :bow:

and it was actually Almiron that came charging in so he can't complain

[Mac76]

has ESR even had a touch yet?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba hits the woodwork. How did that stay out? :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Auba misses an open goal. :rolleyes:

[Niall_Quinn]

Auba misses an open goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

Harder to miss than score.

[Mac76]

Darlow :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Partey shot, miles over.

Good passing though.

[Mac76]

stupid effing short corner... :rolleyes:

[Mac76]

and now another shit corner - man our set pieces are awful

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Almiron hits over.

[Mac76]

Partey :lol:

[Mac76]

Almiron messes up

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba shoots over.

Smith Rowe. :bow:

Great control.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bit random from the ref. Pushing and shoving in the box has been the main feature of this match so far, and he's let it all go. But now, on this one occasion, it's a big problem.

[Niall_Quinn]

Auba's on permanent holiday.

[Mac76]

another shit corner

[Mac76]

Auba...

[Mac76]

is it just me or is Cedric not as bad as people keep saying he is?

he's looked fine to me so far

[Niall_Quinn]

Smith-Rowe is way too good for this team.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba ignores Tierney and runs in to a brick wall. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

is it just me or is Cedric not as bad as people keep saying he is?

he's looked fine to me so far

Are people saying he’s bad? He was a pretty decent and consistent player at Southampton.

We just haven’t seen much of him here because Bellerin is Arteta’s mate.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holding. :haha:

What did he see there?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba puts it, wide.

[Niall_Quinn]

"He's fucking 'opless!" - from the sidelines as Auba fucks up again. Wonder was that from our sideline or theirs?

[Mac76]

blimey what a weak attempt from Auba

[Niall_Quinn]

Winding down another 45 minute training session.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba nearly pubbed one in, Darlow saves it.

[Mac76]

Are people saying he’s bad? He was a pretty decent and consistent player at Southampton.

We just haven’t seen much of him here because Bellerin is Arteta’s mate.

i think he's got a bad press because of being yet another Kia signing, brought in for four years when he was injured - tbh if he's consistently able to play at that level it wouldn't be a bad investment

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Luiz header, piss poor.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

No added time. :lol:

Hoping Aubameyang springs in to life is rather like me hoping Scarlett Johansson will just decide to phone me.

[Niall_Quinn]

Free header for Sideshow but he's a joke.

Ref has a heart and blows up right on the 45.

Dreadful stuff.

[Marc Overmars]

Should be leading but Auba is playing like a bum again.

Crap mostly. As usual.

[Mac76]

we should bring Martinelli on either at HT or shortly into the second half

apart fom him though it's bit worrying when you look at the bench, there's no other game changers there - or at least not that would change it for the better :lol:

[Gooner23]

Not great but if Auba wasn't drunk we'd be two up.

[hobson's choice]

Auba is the weak link and has been the weak link these past 5/6 games. Consistently messing up every attack with dumb decisions.

Like the pass Luiz made to him, to just pop the ball up like that. Down right stupid

[Gooner23]

Need Martinelli on but can't see Auba getting hooked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from Darlow to deny Lacazette.

[Marc Overmars]

Sounded like Motorhead there as the walk out song but couldn’t make it out.

[Mac76]

close from Laca

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AUBAMEYANG!!!!! Finally.

Brilliant from Partey.

[Marc Overmars]

Auba!!!

Where have you been?? That’s more like it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Exactly what I'm saying, better suited away from home.

What's Don Goodman on about?

:haha:

[GP]

Vintage Auba!

[Gooner23]

Not great but if Auba wasn't drunk we'd be two up.

Hes sobered up at half time! Great finish to be fair

[Mac76]

Auba!!

we knew he'd score :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'll expect that call from Scarlett any minute now.

[GP]

I'll expect that call from Scarlett any minute now.

I'll let her know.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thanks!

Big Andy hammers it, wide.

[Mac76]

Luiz is just a clown

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka should've smacked it first time.

[Marc Overmars]

Playing much better now.

Newcastle are awful. Get the second goal and put this game to bed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Krafth cross, easy for Leno.

[Gooner23]

Partey is class.

Look forward to seeing him fully up to speed and with a better player along side next season hopefully.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

SAKA!!!!

Our kids. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

ESR and Saka :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Croydon Cruyff at it again. :bow:

[Mac76]

YES!!

[Gooner23]

Lovely goal.

Newcastle are awful :lol:

[Letters]

Great goal
ESR too :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Don Goodman thinks Lacazette scored. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Elneny coming on.

Why?

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tierney across goal, nobody puts itin.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Darlow saves from Laca.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Partey off, Elneny on.

[Marc Overmars]

Elneny.

Why?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big Andy hauled off, Murphy on.

[GP]

Pyramid Pirlo :bow:

[Gooner23]

That was my first thought and then I remembered Partey only just back from injury so probably sensible.

[Mac76]

Elneny coming on.

Why?

:haha:

looking after Partey i guess - I thought he was really good, unfussy but effective

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka sends it sky high.

[Mac76]

Tierney's got a bit carried away since that goal i think... :lol:

[Letters]

Sak-a-shit

[Mac76]

saka :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Foul throw from Cedric. :haha:

Bellerin has been teaching him clearly.

[GP]

Foul throw from Cedric. :haha:

Bellerin has been teaching him clearly.

I bin frowin it like dat my whole life!

[Letters]

Oh ESR :doh:
Sell him, he's shit

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AUBAMEYANG!!!!! He's back.

Brilliant from Cedric.

[Marc Overmars]

Auba!!

Good work Cedric.

[Marc Overmars]

That’s so close :lol:

Goals stands

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Played to perfection. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba off, Willian on.

:haha:

[Letters]

AUBA!!

Lovely goal

[Marc Overmars]

Oh. It’s Him.

[Mac76]

good work from Cedric

[Letters]

Auba off, Willian on.

:haha:

Like Ronnie O'Sullivan playing left handed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Smith Rowe off, Martinelli on! :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Martinelli, get the +1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willian runny nose. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Almiron off, Anderson on.

[Marc Overmars]

Tierney shouting fucking hell in this thick Glaswegian accent. :lol:

[Letters]

Willian runny nose. :lol:

Runny free kick too.

[Mac76]

Willian straight into the wall

[Gooner23]

Tierney shouting fucking hell in this thick Glaswegian accent. :lol:

Love KT :bow:

[Mac76]

elbow from Lascelles - off, off, off...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Runny free kick too.

Most he has run all season.

[Letters]

Willian straight into the wall

:lol: Your stream is even further behind than mine!

[Letters]

To be fair, that was a good corner by Willian.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three added minutes.

[Letters]

Three added minutes.

No spoilers! :sulk:

[Gooner23]

Willian is dreadful, gets the ball and runs back towards our goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 FT. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Decent in that second half.

We’re back!

[Letters]

SWEEET CAROLINE
DAA DAA DAA!
:scarf:

[Letters]

Top half of the table! :scarf:

[Mac76]
