Terrible questions from our northeast journos mind. 

Bordering on little ant and Dec territory. 😂

It'll be 3pm

It might get moved.

 

Last time was 4:30pm as Spurs v Chelsea was at 1:30, Arsenal are now due to play Chelsea that day so could be similar.

To circle back to everybody's favourite subject ffp. You can see why the sky 6 would rather blow up the league than ever let it go away. Imagine what Eddie would do to arteta if we were actually able to invest and comparable levels.

Declan Rice fouls vs Newcastle (no card given) : r/soccer

I missed that snide barge on Tonali too, but as I said above, thought when he wasn't booked for the Bruno challenge he'd already been booked for something and the ref bottled a 2nd yellow (for fear of death threats).

Best thing about that challenge on Bruno though, I half expected him to stay down, kill some time, but he jumped up and did a celebration in front of the Milburn, he just knew it was a petulant challenge from someone completely wound up and frustrated becuase we'd battered them. Class.

Loved these

 

Perhaps the most visible gulf between the two sides, though, was right in the centre, where Guimarães and Sandro Tonali were taking Declan Rice back to school. Rice is a fine, gutsy, intelligent player, but he simply has insufficient dawg in him for games such as this. He wants it calmer and simpler, he wants the extra split second that doesn’t exist. Trust the processes. Do the processes. Next thing he knows – yoink! – Guimarães has not only read the pass and won the ball but pinged it 35 yards and given you a sharp but inexplicable pain in the kidneys.

 

Howe had opted for a back five, for safety in numbers, and Newcastle hunted in much the same way. Guimarães and Tonali were chasing down everything in midfield. Alexander Isak on current form remains unmatched at turning quarter‑chances into actual chances. Sven Botman was surgically terrifying in defence, blazing a trail of very precise destruction, like a self-driving car gone over to the dark side. Dan Burn merrily Dan Burned all over the place. Fabian Schär and Anthony Gordon led the high press and forced Arsenal to cough up the ball time and again.

Such a weird fanbase. Isn’t trippier’s dad black?

It’s almost like they’re aware of the fact clicks/likes/views = revenue. 
 

Being daft gets the figures up. 

[JT24]

I also hope Kieran sues him for defamation. 

[Earp]

Did their new young superstar actually touch the ball?

[jackyboy]

The looks on Artetas face is nearly as good as a trip to Wembley

I thought he played well. Certainly one of the better Arsenal players last night. 
 

Other than losing Murphy for our first goal, I can’t remembering him putting much of a foot wrong. 

[TBG]

He is good like, needs to move to Liverpool or a forrin club though.

 

He'd win something there.

I’ve known Kieran since he was about 7 years old playing for Woodbank in Bury where his dad was manager of the team. 
 

Chris, his dad, is black yes. If Kieran grew his hair out you’d be able to see that he is mixed race as well. 
 

Absolutely pathetic comment from an utterly disgusting fan base, that when things aren’t going their way, throw out all the petulant comments they can. They’re rapidly becoming the most unbearable set of fans around. 
 

Really hope Kieran sees that video.

They really are the worst. Ever since Gordon’s goal last season they’ve completely lost the plot 

[Scoot]

What a great night last night was. Absolutely love it when it's bouncing like that.

 

Side note: I'm the roughest person in the world today. Help!

[samptime29]

Arsenal have lost 4 games this season and they've lost 3 times to us without scoring. Wild.

[Bimpy474]

If you to want to be fair, he has apologised. Whether that was because it was pointed out who Kieran's dad is. He'll be judged on that, and I judge he's a twat.

Glad to see Bruno's performance being celebrated but I'll always find it tough to enjoy anything by that pretentious whopper Jonathan Liew. He devalued his flowery, simile-laden word salad with that Saudi reference at the end, anyway, as if that had anything to do with Botman's "surgical terror" (🙄🤮).

 

But yeah, the central point was correct. We bullied Arsenal and Bruno was fucking mint. 

[54]

Just dawned on me, that if Liverpool go through as expected, and we beat them in the final, our route to the trophy would have included all of the current top 4  

[Disco]

Arsenal, and their cavalcade of online conspiracy theorists online, winning friends and influencing people again is it?

[Bimpy474]

That Rory tit also thinks Odegaard missed his chance because he was avoiding the challenge, a dirty one apparently 

 

What a feckin Alan Pardew-esq fanbase they have
