Have to agree con, they have won 15 of the last 16 meetings --surely the Toon can't snap out of it ---can they?

No surprise re Hendrick

Newcastle getting a point or three would just cap a shite weekend.

1-0 Arsenal

Bad side newcastle

One thing is for sure. Neither of these two sides will finish in the top six.

2-0

I hereby predict Arsenal will finish top 6.
Having said that, I’m not watching this evening, so maybe I’m sounding rash.

It's a pity we don't play Newcastle until April, I think we could manage a result against them at the moment.

3-0

Brilliant Newcastle are imploding

Newcastle poor again, Bruce must be on borrowed time, and they are well and truly in the relegation mire. The more the merrier as far as we're concerned.

I don't think Brucie's gonna get a bonus.

Maybe a P45.

Newcastle making Arsenal look like Man City.....but hey up, here comes Hendrick.

I always think when you play teams has a big influence. No way that Newcastle result would happen if we played them next week.

Bruce has been on borrowed time for years

Good game, good game.
To quote another Bruce.

I’m liking Bruce’s way

Only seen the 2nd half, Newcastle not been in it.

They've been rubbish since St maximim got covid.
He's almost back now. Even Bruce will pick him.

Newcastle have been shocking. Look totally devoid of confidence.

13 hours without a goal from open play for the Geordies, and people think we're struggling, the difference is we don't have strikers that cost 10's of millions.

Aubemayang overtakes Chris Wood by scoring his fourth and fifth goals of the season in his 18th game. Surprised that he is still being given a chance just because he scored 22 last season and was their leading goalscorer. Surely he should have been dropped.

His first goal at the Emirates this season was for us

Don't we have 3 that cost around the £10m or more mark?

Yes but compared to Newcastle's forwards ours are bargain basement.

Joelinton £40m
Wilson £20m (TBF he's done ok when he's played)
Dwight Gayle £10m or so

And finally Andy Carroll, yes he was a free transfer, but he'll be on big wages.

In comparison

Wood £15m
Jay & Vydra £10m or so apiece

It's fair to state that neither team can hit a barn door ATM, but I'd say Bruce is under more pressure than Sean, I can't see the Magpies faithful tolerating these results and style of play for much longer, and Ashley must be losing patience also, as this run of results has increased the pressure on him to spend in this window, and we all know how loathe he is too splash the cash.

Definitely agree that Bruce is under more pressure than Dyche - 100%. The Newcastle fans just won't have him and he knows it. Mike Ashley is incredibly stubborn though and I think so long as he keeps them above the bottom three he'll be fine - that seems to be enough for him, for now anyway.

Both sides are very poor in front of goal right now though, and neither have a set of strikers brought in on the cheap.

You're not sure because I wasn't querying the post. I was asking how much our strikers cost.

Have a nice evening, ClaretTony.

You start thinking that you have read pretty much every daft viewpoint on here possible, then just as you do someone comes along and claims we don't have a cheap front 4

Well it is unlikely to get any worse, early morning walk with the dogs and I am soaked through to the skin, on the plus side it isn't February yet so I am having another day off.
