Arsenal 0-2 Newcastle United (07/01/25)


Recommended Posts

So happy to wake up this morning and finally, finally erasing the 95/96 quarterfinal 0-2 Coca-Cola Cup defeat, fucking Lee Dixon getting Ginola sent off from my memory. Cried my eyes out through the night that year. Sweet, sweet revenge getting it over legohead 30 years later last night.

Simple fix to this. Corner is given, 30 second timer starts ref blows whistle after 30 seconds and if you haven't taken it opposition get a goal kick. I'd do the same for goal kicks, ball goes out 30 seconds to take it or oppo get a corner.

Not to get too far ahead of ourselves but bus replacement on the weekend of the final would make getting to London a proper chew on.

Just looked at booking tickets, most trains are direct. Returns at 1900 or 2100 on Sunday are 4 hour trains without changes or busses. 

 

Any idea what time the final will be? Hopefully an earlier KO than last time 1600 kick off made getting back to kings cross for my train a bit tight.

Saying they have no chance in the 2nd leg is a bit daft, an early goal for them and the landscape changes. The Toon fan on that video is almost as annoying as the precious little gimp

Aye, the Toon fan making himself wide open to a big embarrassment there. Even us as the wider fanbase. The general piss take from fans of other clubs will be "remember that time you thought you'd reached the final then blew it?" Even though I'd hope most would  stick to being quietly confident. Stay humble. Don't celebrate until the lads hopefully see the job through. The excitement and confidence is understandable of course.

Looking at the longer video he’s clearly got some history with wee Ty and is winding him up.

I know there is a culture and everything to why some people talk like that, but half these kids doing it is so forced and cringe trying to sound cool.

Just further to this, I just worked it out, this is Premier League only, but if you take that average and and multiply it by the 125 corners they've had, it means they're wasted 99.6 minutes of matches just on taking corners alone. We're only two games into the season and they've wiped out a single full match, trying to be set piece freaks.
