It's lucky Newcastle aren't very good. Play like this against a competent team and we'd already be cooked.

Damn, Rice had options there, decided to pass it to their keeper instead. Such strange decision making.
So easy for Newcastle to play out.
Well played Martinelli - more of that please.
Fuck off with short corners.
What's it going to take to see Odegard subbed? Does he have to run up the other end and stick 3 in his own net? He's obviously not on form, maybe doesn't even want to be here. Trouble is, every now and again he does something decent then rides on it for 3 matches. But even that's becoming rare.
Short corner comes back. :haha:
So stupid.
It's just so poor.
Havertz is warming up?????
He comes on. Wins it for us in a stinkfest. Board and Arteta agree striker position is covered for 25/26?
Boring telegraphed football. No guile.
We are very fortunate the geordies are clueless.
I would say easily 75% of our touches on the ball are entirely unnecessary.
Well , can't blame the ref for this. And the opposition haven't even bothered roughing us up. It's just a genuinely, grade 1 poor performance.
Yes, it didn't work, but that sort of ball right over the massed ranks is what we need.
Who told Trossard he has endless time to stand with the ball in the opposition box?
Gilberto Silva :bow: What a player!
Djourou there also, looking like a revolutionary.
Zero additional time? Mercy?
0-0 HT.
That was horrendous.
What a... not really.Quote:

Martinelli turned up. Didn't do much but he's trying. Trossard, sort of, but still such a frustrating player.
The rest of them? How's the weather lads, send some beach party pics of the bimbos.
At least the could actually piss in the fans faces during the break, so it's official.
Would have been destroyed if Isak was on the pitch and also Joelinton with acres of space to athlete ball into.
Probably why we are playing like this. The computer worked it all out in advance. If we expend 49.3% energy and get to HT at 0-0 we can have a 0.0000345% energy advantage over them in the second which gives us a 3.289% chance of nicking a scrambled goal.Quote:

Arteta have Havertz a huge sell making him sound like he is Thanos with the infinity stones.
He has to come on surely, Nwaneri too.
Saliba off, Calafiori on.
Calafiori on for Saliba
Injury I’m guessing, not that it matters now
Calafiori - now we're cooking with candles!
I think we should shun Nwaneri until he decides to go somewhere else to play. Computer says yes!Quote:

Jesus.
Second match where Saka has been checked out and sipping martinis.
Have we really come out here and said a draw will do because goal difference gets us through?
If so, if we can bring that attitude into next season, well... It's on!
So Arteta looked at that forst half and concluded, more of the same boys!
RICE!!!
Wow.
Fucking Rice wakes up!
Eventually!
Rice is the real deal when it comes to striking a ball. We need to utilise that next season.
Arteta's going to put him in goal, isn't he?
Rice’s tekkers when shooting across the ball is elite.
Great hit by Rice....despite the subpar performance, his class saves the day
Jesus - Trossard literately did everything wrong there! You have to practise fucking it up that badly.
