Arsenal 2 - 1 Newcastle United - 12/03/12 - post-match reaction from page 50


Recommended Posts

Gutting but in the end deserved win for arsenal, we had some real backs to the wall defending all second half and they were all over us. Can't help but feel had Cabaye been operating at any decent level we'd have seen it out at least. Simpson dreadful but mistakes happen at end, still no way we should have allowed that.

Deserved a point for how well we did for long periods.

 

Deserved to lose for completely shutting up shop and stopping even trying to attack for most of the second half.

 

yep. ironically the last 20 mins was exactly the kind of situation when you want obertan on the pitch...

Seriously, why the f*** was there 5 minutes added on time.

 

There were very few stoppages for injury/ball out of play so why 5 minutes.

 

Dont understand why the commentators havent questioned it. there has been nothing, yet the Sunderland game with the sending off and way more incident gets 3 minutes? crazy.

 

And fuck off how can the ref blow the whistle with ball about to land in the Arsenal box?? Thought you had to let the offensive play conclude?

 

Are you's all on smack? Krul was wasting time from the moment they equalised. All adds up plus the mandatory 3 that always gets added.

Simpson can fuck off, that was the most ridiculous throw in ever taken in a football match. Stupid cunt.

 

Webb's a total bellend as well, worst ref in the league for me. Five fucking minutes??

 

No idea what he was doing. Shola was right there and had held the ball up brilliantly all game.

Thought we earned a point there, we needed to be braver.

 

 

Obertan has no bottle at all 100% wimp will in no way at any time put his foot in.. really does boil my piss, and sorry like lads but Santon is a shit leftback.

Every challenge, every fucking challenge Arsenal players go to the fucking deck, Fuck off, time for them to grow up and take a fucking tackle. 5 minutes, where the fuck from?

 

Seriously it's disgusting, every fucking challenge in every fucking game Arsenal players will go to ground.

Second half we offered nowt as an attacking force, in fact we barely had the ball for more than 30 seconds at a time.

“It affects my mindset in terms of do I want to win the game, but we’ve got to be in the game,” he said. “At Tottenham (where Newcastle conceded three goals in the first 20 minutes), we didn’t have a way back. We were dead and buried at half-time.

 

“We have to be in the game with ten or 15 minutes to go and, if we are, I won’t settle for a draw, for sure.”

 

Presumably he thought we weren't in the game at 1-1.

Surprisingly I'm not really bothered with the loss. I thought we did ok, fought hard, weren't outclassed and were a bit unlucky at the end. Not taking the 3 points vs Wolves and Sunlun I find much more annoying that losing to Arsenal away from home in the last minute of extra time.

Atrocious throw in to lose the ball, too many bodies high up, chose not to attack with a decent oppurtunity - basic failings, deserved to fuck it up, I don't understand how people paid 40,000 pounds a week to do solely this can be so unutterably stupid in such basic circumstances.

Don't be fucking daft, this wasn't Simpsons fault. He cleared the ball off the line twice in the second half and was pretty decent all around. It was obvious from the very first second in the 2nd that Pardew was trying to defend the point and had no interest in at least trying to play some decent football. We fucking hoofed it all 2nd half and deserved fuck all from this.

 

Fucking furious right now.
