Newcastle beat West Brom 2-1 tonight.

 

I think I've worked out the main problem these two clubs face.

 

They're not very good.

I can't understand for the life of me why they decided not to offer Phillips the contract.

The BBC reckoned it was Obafemi Martins' 24th birthday yesterday.

24!!!!!!

 

He's got to be well older than that surely?

[Sion]

Bloody hell what a great goal for Bentley at The Emirates

 

35-40 yards out, caught keeper off his line, Alonsoesque

[dorgie]

4-4 at the Emirates :-)

 

Arsenal blew a 4-2 lead.

[smithdown]

Arsenal should have scored about 10

 

That Spurs goalie is a loon.

[dorgie]

Arsenal have yet to play Liverpool, ManU or Chelsea so they really have an uphill battle now.

13 min: AN ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC GOAL BY FORMER ARSENAL MAN DAVID BENTLEY. THIS IS GOAL OF THE SEASON, RIGHT HERE. Arsenal 0-1 Tottenham. This is outstanding. The ball bounces around the centre of the Arsenal half for a few seconds. Then Jenas knocks it to Bentley, who volleys the ball a few centimeters into the air, then volleys it again, 40 yards this time, sending a looping shot screaming over the stranded Almunia - who couldn't have been expected to expect that. That's Matthew Le Tissier multiplied by Xabi Alonso, squared, on the end of a stick.

If he's 24 then so am I.

There will be question marks over Arsenal's title credentials

[muleskinner]

Them getting a point from the their game with Utd Saturday week would be ideal for us, we then hammer West Brom later that day.

Jamie Redknapp referred to David Bentley as a "genius" last night, did you ever hear such indulgent s*ite.

[Nathan Explosion]

:lol:

 

I'm sure I used to watch him play for Milan about 6 or 7 years ago on C4 on a sunday morning. He looked about 28 then. There was no way he was 16. No way.

Is that in dog years?

Think he described the goal as genius to Alan Smith, something like 'its genius Alan isn't it?'.

Gomes is a loon.

Almunia is crap.

 

Bad goalies all round!

[smithdown]

Gomes is a loon.

 

We should be looking to put him right under on Satdee.

 

Keep flinging them in at him.

Arsenal yesterday didn't have a midfielder over 21 yesterday, and it showed. 90 minutes almost up, two goal lead, and rather than concentrating on keeping the ball, they look for another goal. Having then conceded, which should definitely have been the signal to keep the ball, play into the corner, they show they haven't learnt their lesson - and lose the ball again trying to get a fifth. I really can't see any of the other top four being so foolish, and that's why I think Arsenal will continue to fall short.

 

I can see what Wenger is trying to achieve - he's trying to build up the team in the same way that Ferguson first did - a batch of kids growing up together. The question is, will he be able to keep them together long enough to achieve that without them getting impatient and moving on?
