biB SidEEE!!!
Knockout!!!
Newcastle gave a tremendous rear-guard defensive performance against a brilliant young Arsenal team. But during the last 7 minutes they finally wilted with Arsenal finally getting 2 goals after enormous pressure in the second half.
To be honest, this was a game in which the Newcastle team were outplayed by the Arsenal youngsters, as strange as that may seem - especially in the second half, when Arsenal went into a higher gear.
This was the beautiful game played beautifully by the Arsenal youngsters . It was almost an exhibition by Wenger’s brilliant youngsters.
But nevertheless this will be an extremely disappointing loss to Newcastle and our fans - because this was our best chance to win something - after so long. We will have to put this behind us and come out anew against Manchester City with all guns blazing because even though the team was outplayed tonight - our new players will be be that much better, after this experience.
But hats off to Arsenal - who were better technically than the Newcastle players tonight - where does Wenger get these players from?
Arsene Wenger - his youngsters put on wonderful exhibition against a resilient Newcastle side
Newcastle did have 3 great chances which all fell to Martins. Oba could have had a hat -trick but he failed to take his chances. After Arsenal’s goal - within a minute Martins again went round the Arsenal keeper – similar to Sunday’s game against West Ham - but again failed to score as Senderos got back to kick the ball off the line. Martins didn’t hit the ball with any power after he rounded Fabianski. Oba looks short of confidence since Michael Owen will have a hernia operation on Friday in Germany.
If Alex Ferguson watched this game he would have seen that Arsenal’s first team and reserve team could probably both win the Premiership this season – their reserve team is that phenomenal. A wonderful performance from Arsenal and Newcastle played a great rear-guard action but didn’t take their chances when presented. No disgrace for Newcastle.
We need to win on Saturday and tonight’s game has been a good game for Newcastle’s new players to understand how tough the football is in England. But Newcastle (and the fans) need to accept that Arsenal have some brilliant players and there’s not many teams as good as them in the premiership. We can prove this by ensuring we not only win at Manchester City but put in a really good performance.

The Newcastle manager caused a surprise by playing Shola Ameobi up front with Martins and Milner in a 4-3-3 formation. As expected Faye started in midfield for the first time for Newcastle United.
