Newcastle v Arsenal: 1:30pm December 29th - Sky Sports

AdamD

Wouldn't be surprised if Giroud's running fine in 45 seconds, very irritating how often he goes down injured.

Fuhrer

Giroud bollocks himself fouling Tiote?


Howd he manage that?

Marty McFly

Commentator is blind looked like a sore twist of the ankle as Giroud fell over.

Jesus how slow are the commentator s clearly twisted his ankle

Looks like his studs caught in the ground and he twisted something as a result.

MaxPower89

Get Bendtner on

AdamD

This will be like the Chelsea game all over again, we'll end up with more yellows after being kicked off the pitch.

Fuhrer

Hows that not a foul?

Arsenal have been doing most of the kicking so far

AdamD

How is Giroud booked and Tiote not?

L'prof

Still no yellow for Tiote??? Lucky boy!

I don't know think it's been fairly even, a lot of kicking from both sides. Arsenal just seem to be getting less of the decisions.

Shock horror

How many fouls does tiote have to make to get booked?

He injured himself while trying to foul Tiote, think Probert booked him out of sheer disgust.

AdamD

Cue Tiote stopping a dangerous break in the second half to pick up the yellow he should already have

They got a pretty massive one for that foul on the edge of the box which could have easily been a penalty.

come on Arsenal!

Outside the box.

Yes, but still a foul that wasnt given.

Which was the point...

:pac::pac: what? it could have easily been a penalty? Go for a cup of tea during the replays or something?

That's one out of a few we should have had, Tiote should at least have a yellow by now.

Yes but you said it could easily have been a penalty.

Well you said it could easily have been a penalty when in fact it was never going to be a penalty.

But yes it should have been a free kick imo

Thanx 4 The Fish

Dont think that needed saving TBH. Looked like it was flying over. Very unlucky with the header, underside of the bar. Would have loed to see that go in, last touch of the half.

Yes, it could have been. Whats so hard to understand about that statement?

AdamD

Giroud off for Podolski is needed here

cadete

great first half so unlucky from that corner at the end, almost broke to williamson, arsenal are there for the taking in this second half just need tosee a little more from remy

It would have had to be in the box to be a penalty. Should have been a free though.

Thought we would see few goals by now

It was outside the box for starters.

Never said it wasn't. Don't see why you mentioned it could have been a penalty though when it certainly wasn't.

Anyway, I have a bad feeling about this game. Started very well, but Newcastle are right back in it. Can't see us getting the win unfortunately!

How can a non-penalty be a penalty?

Pod for rosicky or cazorla would be my choice

Would bring him on for rosicky myself, pod and Giroud worked well together the other night imo.

cadete

seen penalties given in similar circumstances but not even a foul.... very poor, one of the many bad decisions given against BOTH sides

GavRedKing

The tackle was outside the box, dont see how the lino and ref would have given it as a penalty.

.jacksparrow.

I think we need more protection, flaminI can't cope on his own, arteta for rosicky for me

Alfred Borden

Podolski on here for Wilshere or Rosicky here, move santi in central.

klose

Good enough game for a 0-0 i suppose, i do like a ref who lets play go though.

Moneymaker

Referee is ruining this game, shocking decisions against both sides.

Happy enough with 0-0, need to push on 2nd half but surely we'll be seeing Podolski and maybe Arteta.

Yea I'd go with that suprised Rosicky was given a start his form hasn't been great this season.

Ref has been poor

It was a bit far off the line to be even close to a peno.

Arsenal need to up a gear, not sure they have the appetite for it yet, need a half time talking too. Giroud not leading the line well enough

Underground

I wouldn't take Rosicky off we need him on the pitch. We need the energy of himself and flamini to hassle the Newcastle midfield and bite at their heels.

Podolski offers something different going forward but he won't do the off the ball work that Rosicky does

Morpork

For those wondering how it could possibly be a peno when it's outside the box; it's the same reason why it wasn't given as a foul, when it was a foul - human error.

Underground

Also infuriates me how completely lacking in any kind of eloquency these pundits are. Fcuking Hoddle pronouncing Cazorla as Cozola, Jesus wept

Maybe the referee didn't give it because he was afraid he'd accidentally award a goal - human error.

If it stays a draw and Chelsea win do Arsenal drop to 3rd?
