Newcastle 1-1 Arsenal
Everyone’s saying this was a point earned, not two dropped. I suppose that’s fitting, but it still sucks to come away with just a point from a side doing so fucking poorly lately. But, you have to expect a team to turn it up when the league leaders come to town. Arseblogger called them Newbolton, which I sniggered at quite a bit. That’s perfect, really. I was expecting to see Colonel Campo come charging up the field at any moment. You can’t take it away from Newcastle, though. They fought pretty damn hard and were creating chances. Fat Sam was jumping up and down like a fucking animal on the sidelines after their goal. Honestly, it looked a little forced to me. I guess he needs to put on a bit of a passion display to help stay the axe. Good luck there.
How about that goal from Emmanuel Adebayor, huh? That’s the second one this year we’ve seen him chest trap and whack out of the air to find nylon. Very nicely done, and between two defenders to boot. It’s just too bad he spent the rest of the game trying to get six more of those. Had he crossed to his support on a few of those break through runs, it might have been 1-3. Be yourself, Ade.
