Report: Arsenal 0-1 Newcastle
Newcastle put in a performance full of graft and defensive grit as they frustrated Arsenal to pick up a 1-0 win at the Emirates thanks to Andy Carroll’s first-half header.
Still basking in glory after their demolition of local rivals Sunderland last weekend, the Magpies made it three wins from three and further strengthened manager Chris Hughton’s case for a new contract at St James’ Park.
It was a game of few chances but Tim Krul produced an excellent stop five minutes before the break to keep out a stinging Samir Nasri effort, and it proved to be decisive as shortly after Carroll nodded the visitors in front.
Joey Barton drifted over a central free-kick from deep and Lukasz Fabianski produced yet another error to miss his punch as Carroll leapt well to nod into an empty net in the 45th minute.
Arsenal were lacklustre in attack after half-time and although Theo Walcott hit the bar, they could not break down a stubborn Newcastle defence and Laurent Koscielny was shown a straight red card after a last-man tug on Nile Ranger in the dying minutes.

i am speechless…………..
Time to show us the money the serious money !!!!! And Wenger the door.
Some times i get to wonder if you think Wenger is the problem of Arsenal remeber you win ans loose some games i guess the Newscatle games wasn’t Arsenal day i was speexhless at the end of the game couldn’t find anyone to blame for the loose we tried our best but our best wasn’t enough.
another loss to promoted team AT HOME!!!..Form of champions!!
What a complete and utter embarresment of a side that wenger has assembled – no herat desire or common sense.
WENGER OUT
Pathetic
The only way we can save this now is hiring a new manager and splash the Cash,Fab will be gone in the summer he will fetch a decent amount of money and Arshavin,Kos,Flapianski,Rosicky,Denilson,Almunia etc can back their backs to.
not 1of them players shold be in the team next week they r a bunch of over pained wankers i am not 1 for saying this but i have had enf of this arsenal team and they way they just seem to give up wen it gets a bit hard the worsted today was barca dna boy
DISGUSTING !!!!!!!!
a truly stunning report, a picture paints a thousand words right?
(incase the rest has since appeared all ive got is the photo at the top then nothing lol)
ffs why dont he play rosicky hes by far our best player.
What a horrendous game. We didn’t deserve anything. We couldn’t pass at all today. Absolutely shocking!
You fucking french wanker,this is not your own little pet project this is ARSENAL FOOTBALL CLUB you french tosser.
Fuck Wenger, Fuck this side, and fuck the Fans who always think as soon as we win a few games we a Chammpions of the world and get easy on the team…I saw that pathetic poll on Arsenal.com.
this is an absolute joke cwtf happened hw did we lose
Wenger is too old 2 be a manager. He should be suckd.
he is being sucked if you believe the papers
Get the fuck out of my club and take your french minger with you.
and predictable enough in the other comments, were slowly turning into spurs, have a couple of bad games and we need to sell the whole 1st team and sack the manager, it was poor, make no mistake and we have to cut this shit out, but it seems that 95% of arsenal fans online these days are a ridiculous bunch of overreacting tabloid journo’s
fabregas has 1 bad game and some of you are turning on him, superb.
Especially Danish gooner, fuck off you mug.
Hmmmmm, wonder who gave u a thumbs down……GET OUT OF ARSENAL FC U PAPER FANS (looking @ u danish & others like him)!!!!!!!……WE DONT NEED/ WANT YOUR LOT “supporting” AFC…..win/lose/draw AFC TILL I DIE
chamakh doesn’t know to stop the ball.
Get out arsene and take these bottoms with you.
Cesc go to barca now you are sooo last year sweety.
Up the anal
Do some of you simpletons still subscribe to the Wenger garbage ???
Players have lost belief in the manager. November could spell the end of Wenger – a lot of hard away games and Arsenal could be mid-table come December 01.
watching arsenal play is as bad as watching nigeria play,they are so dissapointing that they make you sick. wenger has nothing to offer, it is time to try some.one else. no top thing even in nigeria would keep a coach for six seasons without a trophy. if he is good for profits he should go work in a bank
Well I for one thought the better team won…..
No doubt that Newcastle played well and took their chance. But we never caught a break and it’s harsh to say that the better team won. They certainly played well though.
agree with dan. arsenal always lose in doubles since last season, damn
Arse can’t play against black n white strips….fullstop. They r scared of jailbirds outfit. Wat a pathetic display with out almost best 11 out there.
Chamakh doesn’t know to pass the ball.
The board and Gazidis need to remind the Gaffer that this isnt his toy to fulfill a silly dream.We are not Barcelona they can do it in their league but the Premier League is a differant case altogether.
We have money so use it in January!!!!
The players dont give a shite so why should we,ohhh yeah that is right we are the fans and cant just ignore what goes on a t our club but some of the mercenaries do.That Spanish hobbit didnt give a fuck today.
A joke. our manager slack of tactical nouse astounds me. he has always been good at signing players but NEVER with putting them together. Im sick of it. fuck of wenger. show some class and quit. sell fabregas, he has been shocking all season. take that money and combined with what we have banked buy some fucking players. etienne capoue, lavezzi, torres, mertesacker. im sick of it. sagna, clichy, fabianski, arshavin, koscielny. load of shit
Well played Newcastle. Yes, we do not look Championship material but most of you are a disgrace to Arsenal. Listen to what you say. We lost and it hurts but the venom that most yuou direct at our team is VILE! They tried, we weren’t good enough today!
look arsenal are just over rated I predicted wat would happen on legenaire website. Chamak is poor, fabianski still has to many nerves, sagna is poor, song is so over rated. It’s unreal he’s supose to be are defensive player but he always seems so be chasing back or making half tackles.. Bentner is second rate and
Poor, we arenao over rated as a team, when ever we come up against it we break down like little midget babys theo wallcott is so brainless it’s starting to make me sik, and we have a manager who cheats on he’s wife just to top it all off. We only have plan a never a plan b, mark my words my gooner friends arsenal will win nothing, and I feel it’s time for the great man to step down, or shal
I say not so great 🙁 arsenal are finished this season game over finito, we have become wat we always hated… We have become the next spurs. The jerseys going bak in my draw tonite and I don’t
Think I’ll see it again for a long long time.
ok mod my last post. players we should sign.
affelay (5 million) capoue (10 million) hazard (15-20 million) lukaku (10-15 million) van der wiel (10 million)
and the biggest change. BACK TO 4-4-2
Wenger makes me sick to the stomach, the fact tht he will only buy FRENCH players or french speaking players to me shows a lack of respect to the club. Chamakh is garbage, the whole back line is french and tht alone makes me feel sick, our goal keeper is an accident waiting to happen. We are prentenders not title contenders. If I was cesc I would go to barca because wenger has no real ambition he just has a pipe dream tht will never become reality!! Wenger out!
Fabianski is going to be world class according to Wenger. If he believes that Gazidis should sack him on the spot for having as bad judgment as that Polish w@nker. Wojciech Szczesny will walk for nothing and make Wenger look foolish for years meanwhile Fabianski will be playing lower league Polish football, as no self respecting club who employ a scout with eyes will take him
Get rid of Wenger. NOW!
danish gooner, why go onto every site repeating yourself. Yeah we lost, we were shocking at best, the second half they played a 5-5-0 formation.
You aint no true, spanish hobbit one day, i love you cesc another day. All this wenger out is a load of tosh, now they game has finished most of you can go back to playing football manager!
All this talk, ‘we are not wengers toy, we are arsenal fc’
So we have been wengers toy for the last 13 years? get a grip, its embarrassing that some of you represent arsenal as ‘fans’ and not ‘supporters’ tut tut
Awful display!! that was the worst performance in years both on the pitch and off. nasri was our most creative player = take him off – injured? if yes then bring rosicky on surely – no arshavin who is absolutely shit. chamakh having a stinker, take him off, stupid decision, he is still a threat in the air and could pop up with a goal, but fair enough, swap him for bendtner? no he brings van persie on who has had 1 yes 1 training session- lovely!! then to sum it all up on comes bendtner, yes we need a goal, but who does he take off, the only player on the pitch in a arsenal shirt who was showing commitment – Jack wilshere!! least he challenged andy carrol.
Arshavin played well today.And Chamakh was shit.
@ Aaron – Not so; the defense left arguably NU’s best player unmarked a few yards from the goal, I could’ve headed that one in, that close with no one on me.
tall basterds like caroll should have been sandwich marked
in response to fans having a moan, the fans should look at themselves also, there was no atmosphere at the stadium right from the start, the fans are just as complacent as the players, they expect to just turn up and watch them win, shameful!!!
you lot are as bad as the performance today, a bunch of whinging fannies, fabregas has a bad game after coming back from injury, the best player weve had since henry pires and bergkamp is now a spanish hobbit and shit, because he thought about going barca in the summer, and who can blame him with ”support” like this?
chamakh who cost us nothing and has scored 6 won 6 pens and created several goals is supposedly shit and cant pass or score and shouldnt be playing, all i can say is thank fuck none of you are in the job or i would be going to get my npower sleeve patches on the shirt next season
I was rating Chamakh for this game. And my intention was just to reply to that Arsavin hater.
Listen boys – why should we have to make an atmosphere???
Less noise the better from my seat darlings – if you want atmosphere come to soho with my gay_gunners69 group – we’re in the new clock end upper or cock end if you get are drift 😉
No the bottoms and arsene are to blame.
GET OUT WENGER!!!!!
Up the anal
Seriously guys, you guys here are truely pathetic.
If you don’t like Arsenal, go support some other teams like Liverpool.
They just fucking beat the Champions today.
When Fabianski saved the day, ARSENAL NO.1 KEEPER!!!
When Fabianski didn’t save it, fuck flappianski
When Arsenal Wins, IN ARSENE WE TRUST,
When Arsenal Loses, FUCK OFF WENGER.
What kind of attitude is this shit?
also, im not saying we should be happy with shit performances but you lot are over reacting like journos, another example is fabianski, hes been solid as recently but one half mistake, he came for the ball and didnt get it but carroll is no much midget or wimp and the defence let him wander in behind totally unmarked, in short the defence sold him out and left him having to make that decision but no hes shit again and should be sold, we will be playing with a first team squad of about 5 17 year olds if we sell every player you think is shit because theyve had 1 or 2 bad games in a row
Today I am disappointed an speechless. Win 4 -1 away and get knocked about and lose at home. WHY??? Obviously Premere championship has gone – we just can,yput it together. Mr Wenger the educator is a big talker and is lost as a tactition. We wan and need more than eloquent explantions of poor performances we need consistant victories. perhaps A W should go.
A little bit of over reaction methinks. Admittedly, Wenger’s myopic defense of sub-standard players does grate, as does the teams ability to retain the ball without doing the necessary or dirty stuff – put ball in net, put in the odd tackle! – but really people, who are we going to get in as a manager? Martin O’neill’s available and no doubt Mancini will soon be available. No good? They both would spend money, though buying expensive players – see Man City – is no guarantee of progress or quality. We only really need two things to challenge for a trophy; a goalkeeper – stating the bleedin’ obvious, I know and get a midfield general – Fab’s still awesome (regardless of what some of the turncoats on here think) but he does not scare/inspire the players around him to be 110% all the time. Some of the players need to remember that being fourth is not an achievement.
I dont seems to understand why some of you guyz are blaming Wenger for the Sunday loose men Wenger did all we could do, do you want him get on the pitch and score the goals men some of you fans are so stupid if Arsnal wins a match you cum here drop good commemts now that loose you keep blaming Wenger then i wonder what Chelsea fans should to Carlos..Gunner for Life
So what’s wrong with loosing a game?!
I am sure u bunch would have been praising them if they had won. It was a bad day alright which was down to Mr. Wenger’s team choice. I have noticed we tend to fall apart after a midweek game/loss.
Remember Newcastle didn’t play midweek!
no words
we really need more creativity
if we can’t get through a great defense, it’s a sign our squad not really good enough..
Although i am,like most genuine Arsenal supporters,dissappointed in the loss to Newcastle,i am even more outraged at the venom being spewed by some of these so-called fans in their comments.Why can’t we acknowledge that our team can be beaten at times,no matter how well they play.The fact is that Newcastle just played a better game than us and,thoroughly deserved their victory.We did not play as well as we could,but that does not mean total condemnation of the board,the manager,the captain,the goalkeeper,and the entire team.Those of you calling for wholesale house-cleaning had better take a deep breathe and take the case of Manchester City to realise that “splashing cash” on so-called star players is no guarantee for success.Neither is there any guarantee that those players names that are being proposed as replacements,are either desirous or available,should your options be considered.As for the manager,just who would you all propose as a replacement for him ? Stop being fair-weather fans and support the team through thick or thin,or alternatively,find another team to support.
Good write up ‘ardent gunner’
Other teams will drop points too!
I have come to the conclusion that Mr Wenger reads th same playbook as Obama. It is all ideaology and very litle practical application on the field. Perhaps after all his good works in a number od diections i e Finance a ambitious younger man could motivate the players better. Talk and philosophy doesn,t do it – it is performance that finally matters. Mr Wenger stop philosophising.
