Newcastle vs Arsenal. 16th May. 20:00. CL qualification 1st leg

Another game where we don't trouble the scoresheet. :bow:

Roasted by a team who will only make finishing 4th an even more difficult task for us in the coming years.

This was an opportunity that may not come again for a while.

He's dropped a level.

Pepe so random he confused himself.

So it's down to Norwich then :yikes:

FT 2-0 and so, so easy for the mighty and world acclaimed Newcastle.

Didn't bother to turn up. Having their hair done I suppose. We were only trying to finish above the spuds. No big deal.

yeah, it was a season when Moan U really struggled, Leicester went off the boil and Newcastle hadn't got going

by the time Arteta's learnt how to manage we'll be well and truly regular mid-table fodder

At least I can get on with my summer now.

Not so sure we have bottled it though, we just aren't good enough, plain and simple. This team minus a few first XI starters was never getting anything from Spurs & Newcastle away.

I think we're better than what we've seen. The players have looked terrified from the first minute. We had Ramsdale hoofing the ball off the pitch, Elneny, Xhaka and Ode all hiding. I know it's a high stakes game but that was awful.

The manager has to take the blame as well. Terrible decision dropping Martinelli, he was our only spark when he came on.

Arteta has run the likes of Saka, ESR & Martinelli into the ground.
