newcastle v arsenal

[pompeypete]

1st day of the premier league.

Just sums up why I hate it...............worse than watching girls play

Song should had seen red, Barton should had gone

I hope he is ashamed.

Welcome back PL....................not

Arsenal won't be anywhere with that line-up. I didn't see the game tho so it might be a premature comment.

can't wait for the ryman premier to start next week!!

[Kickoff3pm]

I agree, I watch two games today Newc v Ars and Liv v Sund and it took about 10 mins before I was thinking my eyes see a hell of a lot different then either the ref or the pundits on TV. It takes me back to all-in wrestling on a Saturday when I was a kid.

Reality seems to change for football like it changed for all those old biddies at the wrestling. I still don't see why a hand on the shoulder is a foul and why do refs think this makes a player fall over like they just trod on a landmine ?

For those that didn't see the Newcastle Arsenal game, to be honest you were saved a wasted couple of hours.

Newcastle: Well they might as well have put two Elephants up front instead of Demba Ba and Shola Ameobi as they well they were absolutely abysmal, i've seen two year old play better football than those two. Cabaye seemed to have a bit about him and linked up well with Obertan when he came on who also looked busy, although if they persist with Ba and Ameobi upfront they will sturggle to score this season.

Arsenal: Gervinho looked busy as well, although not much of an end product, they again tried to walk the ball everywhere.

0-0 fair result absolute crap game

Incidents: Barton Challenges Song, Song turns round and stamps on Barton, right in front of the fourth official who didn't do anything yet it was right in front of his eyes, if the fourth official isn't going to do anything what is the point of the retard being there
Gervinho DIVE, was a terrible dive he was going down already before the tiniest of contact from Tiote, ref should have stopped the game then and booked Gervinho, Barton runs over picks Gervinho up and they grab hold of each other two Newcastle players run over and try to pull them apart, Gervinho leans around and swats (slaps) Barton in the face, Barton goes down like he is shot with a gun, everyone else runs over and congregates in a little bit of space in the Newcastle penalty area including sneeze (The arsenal goalkeeper can;t spell his name sorry), the proper action should have been red for Gervinho and Barton and i would have picked out two other players at random and booked them. If I was in charge of the FA's disciplinary all three would be given FIVE games each and Wenger would also get a two game touchline ban for his comments in the post match interview which they have just shown on MOTD absolutely pathetic comments on the incidents by Wenger especially the Song stamping
