What like his ankle bending completely one way and would've gone further if he didn't jump in the air? Do you know how ankles work? They're not meant to bend like that mate.

If you don't want yourself to get ligament damage it is a normal reaction. You need to get off the floor otherwise being planted could lead to serious injury.

There's no speed in the challenge and Mitrovic doesn't have any body weight behind it. Look at the reactions of the players, Mitrovic, Cazorla and Monreal and the Arsenal bench just don't react.

We don't really crowd the referee anymore in all honesty. If we did you'd be moaning that we're trying to get a player sent off. It was reckless by Mitrovic and a definite sending off, even the Newcastle staff had their mouths open in shock. There can be no complaints and Newcastle gave away cynical fouls constantly throughout yesterdays game and it's reflected in the card stats.

And nice of the fella who made the vine to crop out Coquelin's ankle where it got stuck in the grass where Thauvin tackled him so he had to jump to avoid damage

The Arsenal bench and players clearly didn't think it was a red. No one cared.

It was at 1 mile per hour ffs.

Studs up, over the ball, raked down the lower half of the shin; how on Earth is it anything but a red card? Toon going down to 10 men made it more difficult for us than it would've been if you'd had have 11 on the pitch anyway.

Watching the game I felt like our team needed body armour playing against Newcastle. How anyone could argue with Mitrovic's red is beyond me.

Arsenal are embarrassing.

We're so shite, but Newcastle look like a team who literally have no manager.

Lovren is also the worst defender in the League. I'd rather have Williamson

Why do you hate Giroud. He's Arsenal's best player ffs.

Against Newcastle he is

Coincidently we're playing you on the weekend so if he scores like he usually does it'll be an excuse for Wenger not to buy anyone even though he has 1 goal in his last 10 starts

Bony & Benteke are much better on the ball than him though. Both great at holding it up whereas Lukaku is more of a steam-train that runs in straight lines.

It's different for us because we actually need a good footballer but can also finish. We need someone that offers something totally different than Giroud but isn't as anonymous as Walcott whilst not being as bad as Welbeck

I don't think thats true. He's never going to be Messi, obviously, and is never going to be renowned for his technique. But he shows glimpses of technical ability every time you see him play and he undeniably scores goals. He has spells where he's absolutely unplayable, and its not just because he's a battering ram.

It's hard to remember because he's been around for forever but he's sill only 22, I reckon he'll be back playing for a big club again by the time he's 25.

Yeah but he scores for a team who plays the ball constantly in front of him. That wouldn't happen at City, Arsenal, Chelsea or United. His first touch is awful and he's yet to play back-to-goal really. It'd be a massive risk for any big team to buy him given that he hasn't shown the technical ability required to slot in. Chelsea getting 28m for him was daylight robbery.

Whereas we sign no-one and have Giroud up front as our only true striker with Arteta & Flamini as back-ups to a not even great Coquelin

Lukaku is bang average and always will be. He's too poor technically to ever progress and it's like expecting Sanogo to become a half decent player. The only reason he was rated so highly as a youngster was because he was about 2 ft taller than everyone else in his age group. He hasn't got the ability to play for a big club.

On who?

The only remotely available striker is probably Higuain and he's awful.

Its the same problem we've got.

I hate Higuain but we have to gamble. Giroud is a great back-up striker, Welbz is the second best option ffs.

I'd literally spunk 45m on Cavani and gamble Wenger being able to get him back to Napoli form

On a side note I just met Ian Wright and I'm absolutely buzzing

Girouds chances were hard to be fair to him, had he not slipped hed have probably buried the one. Thought both teams were shit with the final ball

He didn't slip he just fell over for no apparent reason. Özil, Cazorla & Alexis looked completely baffled as to what to do when there's no-one penetrating
