Come on you Gooners.

 

If Arteta is not fit, then I would play a midfield three of Ramsey,Rosicky and Cazorla, with Ox playing on the left.

 

Tiote went of injured on saturday, does anybody know if he's still out ?

 

Hopefully npt a dire 0 0 again, anything like the 4 4 would be great for the neutral

 

It's actually a good thing. He's ****.

 

No Wilshere?

 

This will be one of our highest goal tallies of the season. I predict us putting 6 or 7 past the barcodes.

 

Thats the kind of comment that will end up in a spud's signature if we lose

 

We're owed a win at St. James Park after the last 2 games.

Newcastle have nothing to play for, so hopefully that works for us, you know when it's the last 20 minutes of the game, and you're tired and have nothing to play for, you're not to give as much when there's something actually on the line, like not getting relegated! Thank **** for that.

 

Either will do!

 

we all know that 1 of two things will happen;

1) you'll win comfortably and pardew will look like a complete ****er for his "so what if we lose 4 nil comment" and conspiracy theories of dodgy deals and betting syndicates will run rife.

2) you'll **** up ... and so will we....

either way I'll spend all summer looking for a cat to kick

 

I think i'd enjoy this one more

 

Congratulations to Arsenal for going on an incredible run at the end of the season to get a CL spot.

 

we havent ....yet

but thanks for the sentiment.

 

Let's hope we smash them again. Pardew wants to be an arse about us, then lets feed him his words.

 

If we lose, what ends up in a spud signature will the last of my concerns.

Anyway, how can we lose if we are destined to put 6 or 7 past them?

 

Reason's to be positive ahead of this game:

1.Newcastle have nothing to play for.
2.We have won our last four away games.
3.We have already trashed Newcastle this season.
4.Walcott's seems to enjoy playing against them, and he appears to be in good form at the moment.
5.Newcastle have conceded 9 goals in their last two home games.
6.Laurent Koscielny.

Reason's to be negative:

1.The pressure is off Newcastle, so they might actually play with more freedom.
2.They still have some seriously talented players like Ben Afra and Cabaye.
3.We have yet to beat a team managed by Alan Pardew away from the Emirates.
4.No Arteta.
5.Football is a ****ed up game.

 

Fixed for you!

 

Should we be worried about this or what?
