Lol the first 15 minutes they did exactly the same last season thankfully they wake up after penalty decision
Yes this was ridiculous level of pressing we couldnt pass it from back but no surprise they fade at 2nd half and with European football howe need to manage itNewcastle were always going to come out like a train. You can’t stop that.
Wright: 'It's NOT done! It's NOT done!'
Hahaha man is fuming over the right decision. Doesn't even take more than 2 replays to know it doesn't hit Kiwior's hand at all
At Newcastle's forum before the game, they were convinced they were better than us and were gonna slap us 4-0.
After full time, the tone has changed
"No need to be gloomy, they're one of the two best team in the country"
"No one was expecting a win here"
"They have better quality than us, it's no shame to lose to them"
Before the game, you'd have thought they were playing against 2005 Derby County with the amount of confidence they had ffs
To be fair to them, they have been very good at home this season, and our showing there last season was woeful.At Newcastle's forum before the game, they were convinced they were better than us and were gonna slap us 4-0.

All the doubters before the game.. Arsenal lost to City in February, since then they've played 11 games.. and lost once.. to City
Currently in my opinion, City are the best club team in the world.. it pains me to say it, but they are..
Last year, we were winning 3, losing 3, winning 3, losing 3 etc.. this years Arsenal, are a different animal..
That said, even a draw today, would have been a brilliant result.. a draw away to the team 3rd in the league..
We could yet get as many points as the Invincible team.. and not win the league.. and no one here would yet put the current team anywhere near on par with the Invincibles
Right now, Arsenal have a solid 13/14 players..
9 of today's staring 11 (minus Kiwior and Jorgihno)
and 2 on the bench who if they play to their top standard, can slot in and change games, Partey and Trossard
We also have Saliba, who'd go straight back in
City have 17/18 top top players..
We've maybe 12..
Jorginho will do a good job against 85% of our opposition
Kiwior looks like he could be the real deal
ESR needs to step up next season
Tierney/Tomi.. good enough for 85% of games
Nketiah is a strange one.. he's better with space in behind, but with Arsenal now likely to be a team with most possession and facing low block defences most of the time.. he may simply not fit what is needed.. maybe get rid and get a Toney/Abraham who offers a different dimension if needed
Dunno why we're considering selling Balogun.. his numbers in France are better than Pepes, and we paid near 80 million for him
Sambi is doing well at Palace, maybe he'll improve enough to be a good squad player
But what we have, plus 3 more players, one defence/middle/forward.. capable of starting.. and we'll be right up there
Not sure I would see it as a gift. Think Saka did something similar earlier in the season but I might misremembering. When you get that close to goal and hit it with a lot of power with your weak foot good things can happen. A defender tries to block it, it ricochets and in it goes. I would like to see Saka and Martinelli do it more often. At that distance with power you just cannot react and control the ball well.Great result. Watching on catch up so will analyse later. Is this the second OG we've had this season? Can only remember Emi but this wS a nice gift.
Don't wet our appetite without some nice quotes!At Newcastle's forum before the game, they were convinced they were better than us and were gonna slap us 4-0.
