Interestingly, if you watched the match, there wasn’t actually much between Newcastle and Arsenal (a sentiment the Robbies on NBC agreed with, which was a nice change from Neville’s desperate, sycophantic shit chatting). Newcastle just failed to put away their chances and conceded an own goal that effectively killed off the match (though, they did have have a few more chances after that).
They actually had the Arses on the ropes for the first 10 minutes and it would have likely been a very different game the Barcodes had put in any one of their three big chances during that period of dominance.
I think it puts our Arsenal and Newcastle (and even Leeds) performances in to perspective.
We got 10 out of 12 points off them; we beat Leeds without some of our most important players and conserved energy in the process. We are clearly the better side.
We just need to keep winning and see if Arsenal can deal with the mounting pressure.
I still don’t think they win all of their reaming games, but it won’t matter if we win 3 of the 4 remaining for us.
And we can do better than that, just ask dipper fans, players, and bewildered Klopp.
I am still pretty confident we will at least win the league, and likely the FA Cup.
I think we also can go on to win the CL but my confidence for that depends on that depends on the result on Tuesday.
But even if we don’t win any of the remaining comps, I will still be a proud (though, disappointed) blue and feel incredibly lucky to have been a fan when we were shite and now when we are arguably the best club team in the world.
Up the blues!
