I'd like 5-0 but, in reality, a 0-0 would probably work best imo ... ... Arsenal couldn't then be complacent at SJP.
A draw tonight would have the Mags as favourites to progress. Even a 1 goal deficit isn’t the end of the world for them.
They lost 2-0, at home, to a very poor West Ham side ... ... If Arsenal go there at 0-0 it's a Cup Tie.
Lewis-Skelly looks a cracking player. Has everything you want in the modern fullback. Comfortable overlapping and inverting, good on the ball, quick, solid defensively.
The touch Martinelli took before shooting was terrible, a bit like Mayenda the other day. Took him out of his natural stride.
For those slagging 19 yr old Mayenda off for his miss it just shows that even a Premiership 23yr old Brazilian forward can also miss.
Struggle to see Arsenal getting anything here. Lack a serious goal threat. Exactly what the mags wanted that, something to hold onto.
That Newcastle record of wining 22, drawing 4 and losing 0 of their last 26 games scoring first is mighty impressive. Fair play.
Turned it off me there such a ****ing lucky team it's unreal every single bounce goes for the ****s and they just park the bus and lash it long all game hoping there quick players will make something happen. Stinking ****s
Their quick players are lethal though, that’s the problem. Isak is probably the best forward on the planet at the minute
