Match Day Thread Newcastle United vs Arsenal - Matchday Thread

Exactly that's why it wasn't a wrong decision because it was right.

 

This will show you what I tried explaining to you at the time

 

He looks like a moron - I have no desire to listen to him.

 

errr, no, the one where the ball deflected off Kiwior’s thigh and onto his arm which he moved behind his back in a natural position? Is this what you’re doing? Complaining about the correct decisions from previous games? There’s no equivalence between and that the absurd goal you scored yesterday.

 

And here he comes out of the woodwork, the whinging, bitter West Ham supporter who has a bee in his bonnet about Arsenal for no reason.

I don’t care about West Ham and neither does any Arsenal fan. You and your fanbase are embarrassing trying to force a rivalry with us when none of us give a **** about you.

Now **** off back to your swamp that you came from.

 

Then you won't understand

 

Is the profile pic - actually you?

 

Apparently

 

City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, United, Chelsea, Villa, Newcastle, Brighton.

Those are the best nine teams in the prem and offer seriously tough games home and away. Brighton I'm debating as they've dropped a level since last season but still including.

In that nine, the mini league table is:

City - - - - - - - - - P4 W3 D0 L1 Pts9 (2 home, 2 away)
Arsenal - - - - - - P5 W2 D2 L1 Pts8 (3 home, 2 away)
Liverpool - - - - - P5 W2 D2 L1 Pts8 (1 home, 4 away)
Brighton - - - - - -P5 W2 D1 L2 Pts7 (2 home, 3away)
Spurs - - - - - - - - P3 W2 D1 L0 Pts7 (2 home, 1 away)
Newcastle - - - - P5 W2 D0 L3 Pts6 (3 home, 2 away)
Villa - - - - - - - - - P4 W2 D0 L2 Pts6 (1 home, 3 away)
Chelsea - - - - - - P3 W0 D2 L1 Pts2 (3 home, 0 away)
United - - - - - - - -P4 W0 D0 L4 Pts0 (2 home, 2 away)

All pleasingly close apart from the bottom two... Chuckle...

• City always ominous.
• Liverpool, Villa and Brighton all impressive with their tough away fixtures they've already had.
• Spurs doing well but have had the easiest fixtures so far alongside Chelsea.
• Newcastle and Arsenal a bit meh given number of home games.
• Chelsea and United

 

United who are absolutely ****e at the moment yet are still only 6 points (two games) away from you with your unbeaten run?

 

Or... Arsenal have been ****e all season yet are six points ahead of you...?

 

It's only been 11 games, so I still expect there to be a lot of movement at both ends of the table for a while. That being said, I expect us to be more than 6 points ahead of you by Christmas time and will be very disappointed if that's not the case.

 

Have you soothed ?

 

Egregious decision(s) aside, we lost to a top-4 team away from home and at what is probably the 3rd hardest away ground in the league currently. It can happen.

I also think the other results this weekend have softened the blow. I was fully expecting Villa, Liverpool and Spurs to win, so the fact we haven’t lost any major ground on the teams around us provides some comfort.

 

Could all 3 calls have been argued either way for Newcastles goal ?

 

Two of the calls, possibly, but the push from Joelinton is as blatant as they come. If a defender does that to an attacker, it's given as a penalty. I still maintain it was a terrible call that it wasn't given.

It doesn't matter now anyway, as what's done is done. Looking at our fixtures until mid December, I expect us to win all of them (injuries permitting).

 

It would appear many former players don't see it as a foul so I would have to disagree.

This really wasn't the robbery Arsenal are claiming it was mate and if it was not allowed there would be people complaining at Newcastle.

I'm beginning to get tired of all the excuses other clubs have when they lose to us... they either don't turn up or it's the refs, but the truth is we're a decent side.

We move on good luck Arsenal.

 

I don't think this is true at all, as there have been plenty of ex-pros and analysts who have said it was a foul online and on Sky, BeIN Sport etc.

It wasn't the reason why we didn't win the game, but it was a huge factor in why we lost. Which I personally don't believe we deserved to.

I did say this in my previous post. Losing away from home to a top-4 side can happen, that SJP is the 3rd hardest away around currently and it's not the worst result in the world. Nothing is won or lost from that game. But we'll have to agree to disagree on the impact the officials had on the outcome of the game.

 

I'm afraid it is true and you seem to be failing to understand the question mate so ill ask it again

Could all 3 decisions be argued against either way? The answer is yes.

None of them are clear cut.
