PL: Arsenal v Newcastle United | Sunday February 16 | KO: 16:30 GMT | Sky Sports

[Tourbillion]

My heartfelt thanks go out to @American_Gooner for keeping the poll open a bit longer for me.

Özil 8 or 9. He was the difference today. And he ran his guts out.

8 then, Pepe 9 and Motm. 1 goal, 2 assists and also created a great chance for Nketiah. Not to mention he did his fair share of defensive work!

 

[Manberg]

Why are there so many empty seats? Are the tickets sold but people don’t show up or is it not selling out?
Team needs the crowd support.

Because of strom Dennis most of stadiums were empty was watching Southampton game yesterday the stadium was half empty too.

Mustafi inexplicably just followed St Max down the wing early in the game and didn't try to close him down or tackle him. He's still stupid.

Was just running with him from near the half-way line and allowed him to cross

I missed the game live but just saw the complete replay, what a performance once we got in the game after 30 minutes. Great performances by Özil, Pepe & Saka, tough to pick motm from those 3. That team bonding session in Dubai obviously helped heaps & Lacas goal celebration at the end I think showed how close the team is. In fact all 4 goals a lot of the players got together. Lets just hope this is the start of a few good victories to get us back in contention & out of relegation contention.

I really want Arteta to stop playing Auba on the wing. Yeah, he is that good that he scores even there, but most of the times he just can't do anything with the ball and it's painful to watch. Maybe when Nelson is fit we'll see Nelson/Auba/Pepa, but it looks unlikely at the moment.

Pepe has been promoted from bebe to Pepa after last night? Another good performance and he gets his real name?

Should be calling him pepper cause he’s fire

I found myself a bit frustrated early in the match but in the end it was a convincing win with our attack finally clicking well in a game. Yeah it was only Newcastle but I’ll take it. Hope we kick on now..

 

[Aussie_gunner123]

Our next PL match against Everton will mean something now, probably a little bit more. It's about staying consistent & winning a few now on a run rather then just a one off 3 points.

Agree. Saw Auba near our own corner flag a few times. While it's admirable, that's not what we're supposed to ask from him. He would've gotten a foot on that Saka cross, for example (Nketiah too, I think).

A very spectacular second half that would have given Ennui Emery a nightmare

Mustafi made a couple of mistakes, but fortunately nothing crucial this time. He'll us down sooner or later if Mikel keeps playing him.

Danny Rose really needs knocking out

I don't understand... what's he supposed to have done in this clip?

He squared up to the fan apparently, after he put the camera down.

Once a c**t, always a c**t.

 

[Rimaal]

To be fair, the fan had no right to intrude on them, obviously uninvited, and then proceed to lecture them on how they're not performing up to his standards, all whilst having the entire thing filmed. It's incredibly rude, and entitled behaviour!

Old head pundit starter pack:
1. Complain about team celebrations if team isnt performing like prime Barca.
2. Complain about social media use and fancy haircuts.
3. Talk about how "back in their day" that **** wouldn't run.

This is Graeme Souness approved.
