No way was he at fault, he shouldve punched that cunt barton in the face, not slapped him.

Even the commentators on fox soccer channel are tearing into barton.

not even allowed to defend yourself anymore. only in the twilight zone which is the premiership. any other walk of life gervinho would have been given a pat on the back for fighting off an aggressor. a cheats paradise.

We should be able to beat the Geordies who have been in disarray themselves, instead we've struggled against them.

Yet the funny thing is, everyone's been moaning mostly about the defence and we've defended well today.

I haven't, been moaning about our attack for ages. Everyone else seemed to forget all the games we forgot to score in.

Yeah but Newcastle are a nothing team who have been in disarray...so not sure how much that counts.

Fact is though we've lost 2 of our best players and not a replacement in sight, to have let it drag on that long was bad...to have noone lined-up was worse.

Moreover apart from RVP we've been toothless, I've long said that...up front we're a nothing team when he doesn't play well.

One step forward, 2 steps back.

Well look at what that red card has done. Now we are going to feel relieved if we get a draw! :lol:

Walcott's bloody useless.

Yeh I agree, been mostly ok around the back and middle of the pitch. Up front has been dogshit.

That can be explained by the fact Wenger stockpiles midfielders, he's been signing them for years even when we don't need them.

He's badly neglected our forward line and defence, we're basically a team of midfielders.
