We bought or had already experienced players. We left it on the bench and blew up. This is on Arteta. Zinchenko was woeful today. Tierney brilliant when he came on. Jorginho controlled midfield and their Bruno was made to look a total c unt.SteveO 35 wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 5:54 pmAnd it's also increasingly apparent that Kiwior is head and shoulders above Holding, and that KT is much more solid at LB when the pressure is onBobbyPires7 wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 5:52 pmStill fuming about playing Fabio fucking Vieira over Jorginho against Saints. What a fucking clusterfuck of a decision.
If the three of them had played instead of the irresponsible Partey, hopeless Holding and weak Zinchenko, it might have made a vast difference. Jorginho has been criminally underused

Post game Interview with Arteta (BBC)
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65521551
In the post game write-up by Phil McNulty (BBC)
Here's a nice quote / extract from his review:
"smart and ugly Arsenal were when required, employing what might politely be termed "game management" to slow Newcastle's momentum and break up play.
It enraged the Newcastle fans and management team, especially assistant boss Jason Tindall, but it must be pointed out they have used very similar methods when it has suited them, so any complaints ring rather hollow.
Newcastle, in reality, got a taste of their own medicine."
Aaaaaand!

I think Jorginho has earned himself a 12 month extension

Need to add this to the highlights. Xhaka saves a sure fire goal with a well timed last ditch tackle. Takes me back to the days of Adams/Keown/Campbell seeing that.

Have a read of this article by Craig Hope. Journalist that doesn’t hide his sycophantic Newcastle support. Has the audacity to claim we were impersonating Spurs up until their penalty. What the actual fuck? It was 0-0. Spurs were 5 nil down after 20 minutes.

The beauty of this win is that it rankles all the right people, rat boy Gary was shell shocked, he thought he'd be laughing and dancing his way through the afternoon, everyone at Stoke with money was waiting for this game for weeks to stick one on us, city thought we'd lose allowing them to play their stiffs next week against Everton and fully concentrate on Madrid, the crowd screamed and cried like hyenas all game, the referee allowed them kick and elbow us all over the park......
and we fucking rammed the lot back down all their throats

Shearer showing his true colours and being the aggressive bully we all know him to be.
Absolute cock of a man.

I used to like (maybe too strong) Newcastle, now they are just as cvnty as either of the manc teams.
One thing we really need to improve is size/strength, they dwarfed us with big cvnts, we saw in the Etihad game how this helped them win the aerial battle and break the high press.
Fortunately Wilson isn't Haaland and technically Newcastle are a tier down as well.
How many times should Guimares have been booked though ffs?, probably 4 yellows there, I would call the ref a big cvnt but at least he got the pen call right, with help, so just a medium sized cvnt.
We really need someone big as an option up top, Jesus gives us so much but he can't help being his height, I can see us going back in for Vlaihovic, he isn't Haaland but he's probably as close as we'll get?

What I hope most of all is that he's finally seen the light with the likes of Partey. I maintain that if Holding and Partey started yesterday we'd have wilted. It was also a very telling substitution at the time taking off Zinchenko for Tierney - from the minute it happened, all the attacking threat down that side disappeared. These are the games that have let us down in the past - and they will do again if we stick to the same snowflakes that go missing when the heat is on. Kiwior and Jorginho were immense yesterday, as was Ramsdale...and it brings out the battling qualities of others. Tierney dug deep as wellrodders999 wrote: ↑Mon May 08, 2023 9:14 amThe beauty of this win is that it rankles all the right people, rat boy Gary was shell shocked, he thought he'd be laughing and dancing his way through the afternoon, everyone at Stoke with money was waiting for this game for weeks to stick one on us, city thought we'd lose allowing them to play their stiffs next week against Everton and fully concentrate on Madrid, the crowd screamed and cried like hyenas all game, the referee allowed them kick and elbow us all over the park......

These are the sort of players we have to have in our squad. There's no point adding more talented young lads without the type of players who can handle Newcastle away and similar games.
Hopefully not a one off- and more of a recognition that a different type of player is needed on these occasions

You speak the truth
Some of the things that made yesterday's (HardWon) victory all the sweeter, is as you say because" it rankles all the right people"... All those cun.ts that want and yearn to see us humiliated and be like them - Utter Fuck-Ups.
Same goes for some of the negative opinions expressed so readily on here...
I think yesterday not only proved to be a Testing Ground (no pun intended) But was also a very steep learning curve whereby Players, Manager, Coaching Staff AND some Fans Learnt a Great Deal.
$hitty may still go on and steal the title, BUT they will fuck-up (even if only a tiny bit) along the way... it is written in the footballing Stars
I am Proud of the Team and Manager for yesterdays Performance and Victory.
