Once again, you can't blame the Newcastle fans for the state of their club. They've been one of the top supported clubs for years & years which says a lot considering Cashley is more than happy to sit in 17th & take them as far as the dizzying heights of the 3rd round of the cups. Of course they're going to bang on about what a big club they are, what else do they have to shout about?

Aside from the odd retard in every fan base (thinking of that horse punching Geordie), St. James Park certainly is more electric than the Emirates, the Etihad & WHL.


Don't really think I can add much to that - excellent post.
Speaking about Newcastle fans, the way they treated Pardew when he was in charge was pretty contemptible, he was really just the middle man and they seized on him for that. Mind you, I bet they wish he was back now.
I reckon we should start Walcott up top next game, our front line is just too sluggish when we have Giroud AND Ramsey there.
Lol though, it's as if all of our attackers are scared to just shoot, all that tippy tappy, slow passing round the box is not doing us any favours these days, evident from our last three home games. Not every goal has to be like Wilshere's one at Norwich ffs. I know it's the 'Arsenal' way but cooomee on, be more direct when it ain't working.

The only ones willing to shoot are either out/not played (Ox, Rosicky) or have become awful at it (Ramsey, Cazorla).
You say that but Alexis was shooting yesterday (just not very well though) and so was Ozil (definitely not very well). Tbf, it's always gonna be hard to create chances against a team with 10 men permanently behind the ball, playing desperately for a draw to secure their premier league place, in the penultimate game of the season. If it meant anything to our position, I'd probably be more disappointed, but a draw all but secures our position anyway.

Tbh it's hard to find the motivation when there's nothing left to play for. Can't really blame the side as we have been due a dip of form but better it's come at the right time instead of costing us our position.
