Some spoken words from earlier on the @thesameoldarsenal.bsky.social this morning, talking about the routine 2-0 win yesterday. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

🎙️Post game show @thesameoldarsenal.bsky.social 📅 Tomorrow (Sunday) ⏰ 9.30am 👥 Me @suburbangooner.bsky.social and James www.youtube.com/live/pL8pAVD...

Not doing enough Infront of goal tonight. Criminal that we haven't had a shot on target since we scored. A very slender 1-0 lead.

Didn't expect anything different from this farce. Howard Webb needs to go, he's not interested in improving match officials - he's a gaslighting grifter whose stealing a living.

An incredible moment!! (Credit - Arsenal FC) #Arsenal #AFC #Gunners #EPL #PremierLeague

On Saturday, Arsenal will face their fourth different West Ham manager in their last four Premier League meetings with the Hammers. #ARSWHU

Declan Rice vs Newcastle: 🔴 105 touches (1st) 🔴 75 passes completed (1st) 🔴 17 line-breaking passes (1st) 🔴 260m carried (1st) 🔴 11.3km covered (1st) Arsenal’s midfielder is dominating all aspects of games. Is he the most complete midfielder in the Premier League?👇 theanalyst.com/articles/dec...

Expected Goals - Newcastle 0.49, Arsenal 2.05. Shots - Newcastle 8, Arsenal 20 Fully deserved win. #NEWARS

This was Arsenal's first Premier League win after being behind at half time since the 3-2 v Bournemouth in March 2023. #NEWARS

Oh

Oh

Oh, is it. 🤔

"Woltemade already a fan favourite, but Gyokeres toils"

Well done to Jay Bothroyd for trying to put some sense in their head... It's baffling the level refs go to, to make things up in their minds... Like they've never played or watched football. "Pope planted the foot", like Sanchez supposed to keep it hanging as soon as touched the ball 🤦🏻 #Arsenal 🔴🔴

According to the stats, Gyokeres was rated 6.8 yesterday and Woltemade, despite scoring, 6.5. Times headline - "Woltemade already a fan favourite, but Gyokeres toils" Gyokeres - 6 shots, 2 chances created, 12 touches in Newcastle box Woltemeade - 1 shot, 0 chances created, 2 touches in Arsenal box

Mikel Merino now has as many Premier League goals for Arsenal as Marouane Chamakh and Sol Campbell. #NEWARS

I don't blame Jared Gillet for yesterday's penalty being overturned, we all know that he is an awful official and should have stayed in Australia, I blame Darren England on var. He was a total arsehat and by all accounts was determined to get the penalty overturned.

A good weekend for Arsenal. Comparison of points versus last season's results in corresponding fixtures. +5 Tottenham +4 Man City +2 Arsenal +1 Liverpool -1 Chelsea -4 Man Utd -5 Newcastle -10 Aston Villa

NBC comms revealing the dodgy Var process 😬

Arsenal are two points better off versus the equivalent fixtures from last season, with today's win making up for earning fewer points in games vs. Liverpool & City. More chances to make up ground in our next three matches. 1 LIV A (-1) 3 NFO H (0) 3 MCI H (-2) 0 NEW A (+3) 0 WHU H 1 FUL A 1 PAL H

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty. If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐 There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

Loving all the salty salty Newcastle fan tears this morning

Good Morning! 😊 #Arsenal 🔴⚪

I've woken up angry/happy 😂 Mad really, but I'm still incensed about the pen debacle & thrilled we got the 3 points. I don't remember a thing I said on the post game pod on the @thesameoldarsenal.bsky.social but if you want to give it a listen it's on audio😂 open.spotify.com/episode/6iDd...

Look at William Saliba’s celebration. Runs past that extra ball, U-turn to go get it, then yeets it into the stratosphere. 10/10

Watch the crowd already leaving before we even get to the corner flag in the celebration 😂

This is the aftermath of absolute limbs.... #NewArs #AFC #NUFC #COYG #PremierLeague

Told you 😎

Viktor Gyokeres has not been given a single foul in this match. Not one.

We can and should still win this

"What an opportunity this was" says Graeme Le Saux on a play that was offside. No, it wasn't. It wasn't anything. It was offside. The play didn't happen. It wasn't a chance.

The standard of officials in the Premier League is so bad it's funny. How they manage to grift a living and are so obviously bad but nothing is done about it, is farcical.

Weirdly doesn't seem to matter whether we play well or play badly against Newcastle, we still end up on the wrong side of the result. Big second half needed here. Arsenal have won none of their last 13 Premier League games after trailing at half time (L7 D6).

Robbie Earle thinks that the penalty award should have stood. He said it was a foul by Nick Pope and that Gyokeres might have even gone on to get the ball and put it in the net anyway. By the way, if reasonable people disagree about a call, it cannot, by definition, be a clear and obvious error.

"Let's discuss the penalty with ex Newcastle player Les Ferdinand and ex Liverpool and ex Spurs player Jamie Redknapp"

So. Apart from double curse or VAR and me (sorry) Arsenal have done a lot right in that half. Combative, creative, much better midfield balance, and some good early shots. A lot to like. (Obvious a lot about this game to drive you insane as well.)

You can’t say the PL is the best league in the world as long as it is officiated by PGMOL.

Jared Gillett. Can't referee Liverpool games because he's a fan, can be part of 66% of Arsenal's opening 6 games.

Should have had a penalty and the barcodes should be down to 10 men, Gabriel should have done better on their goal but we have had enough chances to be ahead at half time.

You cannot, under any circumstances, have a referee who's declared their allegiance to a title favourite refeeing a direct opponent. Ever.

Remember when William Saliba got a touch on the ball then knocked heads with an attacker and it was given as a penalty against Arsenal? Fun times.

That was a penalty and a red card - what an absolute joke that var and the PGMOL are.

The title says it all. Thanks to our brilliant guest @mervyndinnen.bsky.social for joining Myself and James on the @thesameoldarsenal.bsky.social for a post City, pre Port Vale & Newcastle chat last night. It's on audio now. Please share & remember #AlwaysArsenal open.spotify.com/episode/7tCs...

He’s always so shit in the face of decent questioning. Absolutely amazing how rarely it happens.

Democrat @raskin.house.gov excoriates Nigel Farage for banning journalists from Reform UK events: "I'm asking you a direct question. Why do you ban journalists who oppose your views from coming to your events? Why did you tell local government not to do interviews with your local newspaper?"
