Don't think so tbh. Don't think the Trust ever advocated any form of protest.

She already is, I believe.

I will mention this to one or two folk because I think it's something we've mentioned to our contacts previously but not sure on it's status,etc. I don't think it's for us to manage with the club, it's probably for the trust, but I'd think we can maybe help persuade or demonstrate why it'd benefit.

Nar it wasn't the intention for it to be up and down so early. Just a bit of nerves and excitement I reckon. Despite it maybe appearing well versed we tend to shit ourselves before every display

Aye it was set off far too early last night like. Will mention it in the group. Started at 6 but had 4 pints in an hour and a half so was probably a bit tipsy

He's from Blyth

I believe so. Let this be a turning point. Wor Flags don't make the displays they enhance it. For me, personally, tonight was one of our largest 'sucesses'

Most likely. Unfortunately.

Quality again tonight.

Very keen for us to put this to bed first half and then switch up some players.

I'd love to kna what he says to Arteta when he was remonstrating. Looked like he was simply, politely telling him to calm down and when he wouldn't Howe looked just like, sick almost, like he couldn't be fucked. Then he started telling him where to go eventually. Wad dying for him to lose his shit but so glad he didn't like. Great leadership.

Was just looking at this, they go through a run of games of; Man City (a) Chelsea (h) Newcastle (a) Brighton (h) As the first 4 of their last 6. Wolves and Forest being the other two who might, quite plausibly, be fighting relegation. Think you'll see the usual Arsenal capitulation and City will find their stride from here on in like.

I actually don't mind Arsenal to be honest and would prefer them to win the league to City. However, there's a long, long way to go yet and can see them coming off the rails a bit once these big games are played out in the next 6 weeks.

Long may it continue - the ignorance of what we're actually doing as we sneak up the league doing what we actually do. I reckon Arteta maybe had a right to be frustrated and disappointed to not have won, but deep down, he wanted him and his team to take their vengeance and they hit another wall.

I'm scared.

She was ranting and raving about Newcastle last week. Basically saying the team with the best defence has won the league in 7 of the last 8 seasons or something, then went on to pause, and say "...and at the minute that's Newcastle" She was loving it.

It'd just be...entirely...well...Newcastle. I cannot cope with the thought of success it'll make me turn to ash or some shit like something out of 'I Am Legend'

Was absolutely astounded after some good punditry from all 3 studio guests that Neville then came out with "Newcastle changed their front 3, they brought on Saint Maximin, Wood and Murphy. Arsenal didn't have that luxury" What in the actual fuck Arteta too bitter to give us any credit in his interview and then rightly criticised one pen whilst the handball absolutely wasn't one. On to more important things, after the first 5 minutes I felt we made minor adjustments to keep Saka a tad more quiet but Arteta had the tactical edge still, as Odegaard sat in a pocket between Burn, Willock and Joelinton and seemingly hid out in a no man's land where no one took responsibility for him. This led to Saka getting more time and space and man for man with Burn. However, we began to close ranks on the flanks and by the second half Saka got almost as little as Martinelli had been getting all night. Defensively, I'd have had Almiron switch to assist in the operation with Saka and would have pushed Willock wide right and Joelinton into the centre to wrestle Xhaka. Offensively, I'd have put ASM on for Wilson instead of Wood and potentially Ritchie or Anderson for Willock late on once he was fucked. I think we'd have had more cutting edge up top and more rigity defensively to enable ASM to be free. However, what do I know?! Despite a fairly stonewall penalty for the pulling of shirts, we qere due a decision. A point away to the league leaders, who, by and large didn't create us too many issues despite not playing bad. 1 defeat all season, 6 clean sheets in a row (#FTM), the only team not to lose at the Emirates this season, the only team to not concede to Arsenal this season, 15(?!) Unbeaten in a row and in the QF of a cup, 3rd place and flying high. I have a feeling we'll lose 4 games this season in total. 2 finals and 2 in the league, finishing just outside the CL spots and cupless. The thought of it makes me sick

Behave

Actually buzzing for this game now

I hope we sit in a bit me for 30mins. Stifle them a bit, we're more than capable. Although, I do think if we burst out the blocks and knick one early doors they'll absolutely shite themselves. Think the home fans will too.

Getting an increasing feeling that the guillotine of reality will come down on my head of hope tonight Literally don't see us losing tonight through my black and white eyes. Yet, know the reality is that we'll most likely be beat

Think we'll fall away considerably from the top two and maybe even a 3rd place side like Man United. However, we'll edge in above Spurs/Liverpool as they're inconsistent.
