Newcastle v Arsenal - 7:45

Ever so slightly deserving of a thread in its own right methinks. Well tonight is a big game to both teams, Arsenal could go back 6 points clear at the top while Allardyce is under serious pressure at the moment.

Traditionally these games away to Newky have been tight and imo tonight will be no different. Arsenal are missing most of their creative forces tonight, Fabregas, Hleb and Rosicky are out and while I thought they might struggle to create chances I remembered what defence they're up against.

1-1 Draw

Arsenal will steam roll them big time. Sam's players just dont seem interested. Between 2 to 4 nil Arsenal i reckon.

1-0 Arsenal

Great goal

Tusky · 05-12-2007 08:52PM

What a goal.

IrishMike · 05-12-2007 08:52PM

Absolute screamer from adebayor.
First chance of the match.
Game over already me thinks.
Newcastle will get caught badly on the break now that they have to chase the game.

Mossy Monk · 05-12-2007 09:02PM

Fantastic goal from Adebayor. Also this gives another five points for the Fantasy Football

How so? Forwards only get 4 for a goal.

Guy:Incognito · 05-12-2007 09:05PM

Greedy git Adebayor. All he had to do was square that at any stage instead of tryign to beat the whole team on his own and shooting from a crappy angle. Eduardo would have been clean through on goal.

Pacifico · 05-12-2007 09:06PM

Yeah should have passed there really

Apologies, I made a mistake.

Tusky · 05-12-2007 09:30PM

Both teams playing only ok, not great. Newcastle are up for it but look a bit limp on front of goal.

Tusky · 05-12-2007 09:33PM

Martins looked onside to me!

zAbbo · 05-12-2007 09:36PM

exciting enough to watch.

another loss would be 3 in a row at home for Newky.

jameshayes · 05-12-2007 09:38PM

sounds like a good match - piszed i cant get to see it

Mr Alan · 05-12-2007 09:39PM

he was onside.

notice how gray couldnt bring himself to say he was though, as he'd already praised the linesmans decision. Blue clown.

Unearthly · 05-12-2007 09:47PM

I think Newcastle might sneak an equaliser.....

Then proceed to conceed another 5 goals before FT

AnCapaillMor · 05-12-2007 09:55PM

Good to see Sam has'nt changed tactics, kicking lumps out of Arsenal is still in.

Tusky · 05-12-2007 09:59PM

Hah. Adeboyer doesnt understand the offside rule.

mike65 · 05-12-2007 10:00PM

Ref being pretty lenient

Mike.

Mr Alan · 05-12-2007 10:05PM

The sooner they start sending people off for the that, the sooner it will stop.
Clown no one touched him

Guy:Incognito · 05-12-2007 10:10PM

Still cant see past an Arsenal win.

Mr Alan · 05-12-2007 10:13PM

i'm all for arsenals type of "beautiful" football, but also all for a good tough team roughing em up, just as much part of the game, it is a mans game after all

whatawaster · 05-12-2007 10:13PM

I'm all for banning you from the forum - Psi

Mr Alan · 05-12-2007 10:15PM
