Arsenal top, after defeating Newcastle, again!
Posted by Martin in Arsenal, Michael Owen, Newcastle | 30 January 2008
So, Keegans prayers go un-answered and Owen fails to make any impact at the Emirates.
How long Owen will last at Newcastle is open for debate, but I suspect we’ll see him available in the transfer market in the summer.
From the off the Magpies were on the back foot. It was only going to be a matter of time before we went ahead. I was only surprised at how long it took. Yet again Adebayor used his head, scoring from a Flamini cross just five minutes before half time.
Second half was more of the same. The gunners dominating, passing the ball around, Newcastle never really getting a look in. The only frustration being our unwillingness to shoot. I was just commenting on this to the gooner sitting next to me, when what should happen? Flamini hits the ball from 25 yards and scores, a stunner! That’ll teach me!
Fabregas didn’t have one of his greatest matches, he looked a bit tired, not his usual self, but did take the last goal well from the Bendtner cross.
Thinking about the match against Man United, we’ve still got some improving to do based on the Newcastle matches, we need a bit more pace, or perhaps that’s just down to tiredness from having a reduced squad at the moment.
As for Newcastle, Keegans got his hands full. Especially if he wants to silence the opposition fans from singing :
"Sacked in the morning, you’ll be sacked in the morning, sacked in the morning".
Aren’t we cruel sometimes?
