Arsenal v Newcastle Sunday May 18th at 1630 GMT

Don Pacifico

Incredibly direct from Arteta to Sky just now - basically told the board/Berta to do their job. Do wonder if there's a genuine sore point there.

He’s said it enough times, he’s probably pissed.
Arteta is also an astute media guy. I assume he’s telling the players “I understand you’re tired. I’m trying to get help”

Coombs

PGMOL did their bit, but Toon couldn't figure out Howe to capitalize other than fouly, cheaty, shithousery.

Good win with a jaded and demoralized team.

Over to you, Berta.

flobaba

Lol, can you please share a link to his comments?

RocktheCasbah

flobaba he said something like "the plan is in place, now it's up to the guys upstairs to do their job". It was direct, but I thought there was a bit of humour in it. But then I think there's humour in a lot Arteta says and nobody else ever seems to get it, so I might be wrong.

Don Pacifico

RocktheCasbah there was some humour but I guess in the past he's never directly called out the board (etc.), previously it's been veiled comments about needing reinforcements.

Claudius add Chelsea to the list - they can do one

flobaba

Doesn't sound like a big deal. We have work to do filling out the squad, everyone knows this.

Post match press conference

TambourineMan

Good that 2nd is wrapped up but we have a massive issue in attack. There is just no fluidity at all. No striker fixes that. We need some zest.

lorddulaarsenal

TambourineMan I recon we’ll add three players to the attack.

Big balled striker, manly left sided attacker and a speculative attacking midfield signing

lorddulaarsenal

@ Klaus Dogg. What did you make of Calafiori today?

Dreamy isn’t he

Klaus

lorddulaarsenal Didn't watch the game Dules! But I love Calafiori. He was an amazing centreback in Italy. Bloke just oozes talent.

JazzG

Glad we won the game, sounds like the performance was a bit shit but we've got so many players out and not clearly fit so had to grind that out. 2nd place is secured now, just finishing Top 4 wasn't good enough imo. Needed to secure that 2nd place.

Klaus But I love Calafiori. He was an amazing centreback in Italy. Bloke just oozes talent.

There is something about him, plays like a free spirit and feel like things will happen when he is on the ball.

lorddulaarsenal

He sure does. You need players like him otherwise it’s all a bit too bland.

He makes things happen

lorddulaarsenal

Looks a bit injury prone though.

Do you think Tomiyasu gets back in to the team when he returns from his gap year?

Klaus

No idea about Tommy but I've always liked him, such an intelligent player. I looked at his injury history and it feels like another Vermaelen tragedy doesn't it?

lorddulaarsenal Looks a bit injury prone though.

Yeah I remember he had a really bad knee injury when he was younger. Him and Zaniolo both within a few months of eachother. I wonder how much Roma invested in those two as young talents.

Burnwinter

Qwiss VAR gave 2 reds for dogso this season. Saliba and MLS.

And two second yellows for kicking the ball away: Rice and Trossard. It's been premeditated.

Sicario2

Claudius I told you guys there was nothing to worry about.

Let’s put this season as void, have the biggest summer of our lives and come back next year. Clock is ticking.

Claudius

Sicario2 lol. I was never worried about even losing second.

flobaba

Very close game, and for the most part, Newcastle were better. We got lucky, but it happens. Move on to the summer, freshen up, go again.
