Newcastle v Arsenal. League Cup Semi Final Second Leg. 5th Feb. 20:00

[Niall_Quinn]

Kicking the ball away. No card.

[Mac76]

This is sensible, Trossard and Ode comong off for Merino and Sterling, we should also be taking Havertz and Nwaneri off for Zin and Tierney

Doesn't matter what formation, it's just about looking after players now

[Niall_Quinn]

Odegard and Trossard off.

Sterling and Merino on. Newcastle are in deep shit now!

[Niall_Quinn]

Come on, the kid has broken his arse to get the ball in there but nobody anywhere near it!

Starting to think we need a striker.

[Niall_Quinn]

We only need 4 goals so we're being patient.

[Niall_Quinn]

So like Arsenal of old. Brilliant result on Sunday that has the club buzzing, then the owners shit on everyone from a great height on the Monday, and on the Wednesday we completely fail to turn up. Like a rollercoaster that plunges into a sewer.

[Marc Overmars]

It is a bit annoying that we’ve gone so long without winning this competition. All the top clubs have won it multiple times since 1993 except for us. I guess when it’s treated with such antipathy that will filter through to the team in some ways too.

[Niall_Quinn]

How is that not a yellow? This is ridiculous.

We've won one FA Cup during the Kroenke era. It's not just a disinterest in this competition.

[HCZ_Reborn]

I can’t help treating it with antipathy, maybe if it was a worthwhile competition and not a mixture between a way of blooding youngsters and unnecessary fixture congestion
