Not sure how u get 2-2, Newcastle have been defending like their lives depending on it and have been doing it well but have only looked dangerous attacking wise once or twice in the first half.

That goalkeeper with the really stupid name was quite good.

Should play instead of LOLMunia and Flappyhandski

I thought it was an alias.

**** marriner is useless.

Loved Barton coming on the same time as Cesc. Each clubs best creative midfielder. Strong talent gulf.

Marriner's decision making is the worst I've seen.

Attwell is the worst referee because he can't control games - but Marriner is just flat out shit at making decisions.

Didn't make a difference - Arsenal never left second gear and whilst 4-0 was certainly harsh, they were the better team.

It would be more appropriate if he came on with de jong.
Find it funny how Arsenal fans (and managers/coaches) always whinge about how everybody is out to get their players.

Solid challenge by Eastmond in the first half - no better than Barton's really.

Smith was already on. He's our answer to de Jong. Old Eastmond didn't mind the raised studs into Perch, but Arsenal are saints so carry on.

Still can't beleive that 2nd goal. Probally not a foul because Williamson clearly plays for it but the second he runs anywhere near the ball/defenders he's involved in play and is offside.

Could have called it for either, Marriner is just horrible.

It's a foul - because it was totally unnecessary and he clearly moved into Williamson (it wasn't by accident or Williamson didn't run into Bendtner, in which case it'd probably be play on)

And yes, offside comes into the equation too.

Difference is eastmond was in to get the ball, barton just did it because its all he is good at. Its not just us, barton is a full time thug.

Keep up the arsenal conspiracy theory though.

I actually can't remember it - and two wrongs don't make a right, either.

Nile Ranger should get more of a go off the bench though - was clearly our best player,.

Like when Ranger could have gone down when Djouradgodye.... pushed him in the back before he hurdled Sczxzxzcx.

We could go on and on all day.
