Match reaction Newcastlel V Arsenal 21-Mar-!5

[Globalgunner]

Not happy. WTF was that in the 2nd half

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done. I am sure there will be all this nonsense about Newcastle's hunger, power and desire in the second half but they no more deserved a draw here than we did to go through against Monaco.

Four behind Chelsea.

[Marc Overmars]

6 straight wins. Not often that happens so well done lads.

Titles coming home.

[Globalgunner]

Shyte 2nd half. Who was managing the team in the 2nd half. Sado Masochist?

[Power n Glory]

Good first half. Should have scored more. Bif is on fire. Wobbly second half. I can understand a more cautious approach but Wenger needs to learn how to get more out of his bench so we can sucker punch an attacking team when on the back foot.

We got away with it. Ramsey, Welbeck and Chambers need to sort their game out. Ospina is really taking his opportunity. Monreal should also keep his place. Coquelin made a couple of errors in the 2nd half but also made some important tackles. Vital player to the midfield. 3 points!

Will be 7 when aazzzzahhhh gets 50 FKs for not being touched.

[BOBN]

I guess thats what a second half without Ozil looks like.

Sanchez finished.

[Master Splinter]

We should have killed the game off, but I'm not going to criticise Wenger and the players when systematic fouling, wrestling, scything, dragon-kicking, elbowing and a sprinkling of diving was allowed to take place with impunity by a disgusting ref. It's beyond ridiculous.

If there is a campaign against anyone, it's against Arsenal. Who apparently can't handle the rough stuff, despite numerous referees, managers and players failing in their savage pre-ordained thuggery against them. We should publish an Article on the website highlighting how we are the recipients of an endless barrage of violence which goes unpunished, yet are penalised when we have the temerity to commit a foul ourselves. Soft girly sissies Arsenal. It's a campaign.


Anyway, judging from the 45 minutes that resembled a game, we should have won 0-4. Coquelin superb again and good finishing from Giroud. Welbeck, Ramsey and Sanchez did some good things and then did some daft things. Need to simplify their games and they'll be much more effective.

A miraculous 3 points in the circumstances.

[Niall_Quinn]

Yep, got to give the players credit for putting up with that relentless shit, most of which happened under the nose of that incompetent pillock supposedly reffing the game. Hope we haven't picked up any serious injuries.

So then, who's up next to elbow Coq in the nose and get away with it? Ask Paddy Power?

[Kano]

Whether we like it or not Wenger will remain in charge next season so positives still have to be found. With that in mind, I thought we defended well particularly in the last 20, most of the players were running on empty but protected the goal well. It was a hard test, passed well. The more this team understand how to do that for the times it will be needed in crunch matches, the better they'll get at it. And they seem to be on the right curve at least. They still need to work on passing well when under heavy pressure though.
