Arsenal Draw 3-3 With Norwich – Door Opens For Newcastle

2:52 pm, Saturday, May 5th, 2012 by Ed Harrison · 292 Comments

The stars could be aligning for Newcastle this season.

Grant Holt - after putting Norwich ahead in first half

In a tense game at the Emirates Stadium this afternoon, Arsenal managed to drop 2 valuable points against Norwich City, as the game ended in a 3-3- draw, after Norwich had been leading 2-1 for much of the game.

And that, after it seemed initially like it was going to be a cake-walk for Arsenal, with Yossi Benayoun scoring after just 65 seconds.

But Norwich were up for this game, and they amazingly came right back into the game in that first half, and they were ahead by the break, with goals from Wesley Hoolahan and Grant Holt, who hit his 14th Premier League goal of the season.

In the second half, things were still fairly even, but Arsenal were coming more into the game, but both sides missed good opportunities to score.

But it was Robin van Persie after 72 minutes who got one back for the Gunners, and then the Arsenal captain seemed to have done the job on 80 minutes, when he put Arsenal ahead 3-2.

But then it was Steve Morrison, who put the cat among the pigeons again, when he equalized for Norwich City with a beautiful goal on 85 minutes, and the game finally ended 3-3, and Arsenal had dropped two precious points.

Arsenal went close a few times in the last few minutes, but it was not to be, and the Gunners shot themselves in the foot, and not for the first time this season.

The Arsenal defense again looked hopeless today, with the goalkeeper Wojciech Szcz?sny culpable for the first goal which hit him, before going into the net, and it’s a shot he really should have saved easily.

What this means could be huge for Newcastle, since Arsenal are now only 2 points ahead of Newcastle, and if Newcastle win tomorrow against Manchester City at home, we will go one point above the Gunners.

Indeed it really puts Newcastle in the driver’s seat, because if Newcastle win their last two games of the season they will finish above Arsenal in the league table, and in at least 4th place.

Nobody could have dreamed up an ending like this one to the Premier League this season, and it’s now up to Newcastle tomorrow to show us what they are made of.

Howay The Lads!!

This is our cance and if we hit 70 points I think we should clinch 4th
5 only magpie of nepal // May 5, 2012 at 2:58 PM

Wow! what a result? Now tomorrow we should really go for win and there in no doubt we can do that. After all we haven’t lost at home in 2012. If we win tomorrow last day of the season is really gonna get nervy for both North London clubs: Arsenal and Spurs. So 3rd place is up for grabs for our Toon Army.
Simply Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6 phoonck // May 5, 2012 at 3:01 PM

my bday wishes are coming true! half now actually.. with a newcastle win tmr, then it’ll be my bday wishes coming true!!! when the toons go marching in!!!

HWTL!
7 Prunty // May 5, 2012 at 3:01 PM

Come on the lads! We can do this! I couldn’t be more excited about tomorrow now

Sidenote: I would prefer to see Arsenal in the CL than Spurs.
8 GeordieToon89 // May 5, 2012 at 3:01 PM

Cracking result for Norwich, more importantly important result for us.. If only we had of atleast drew at Wigan eh, nevermind.. So ‘IF’ we win tomorrow and Villa nab a draw at home to Spurs we’ll be a point clear in 3rd and 2 points ahead of Spurs in 5th.. going into the Everton game which will be so so so hard and probably one of our hardest games of the season they wont be resting anyone but weve got a good record down there against them so going into the final game of the season automatic qualification to europes elite league competition would be in our own hands which is the best way!!

Howay The Toooooooon!!!!!
Howay Villa!!!
9 only magpie of nepal // May 5, 2012 at 3:02 PM

We are now going murder Manchester Citizens. Shitty don’t have that great away record….
10 davetoon // May 5, 2012 at 3:03 PM

wonder if this result will change Pardew’s tactics?
11 Papiss9 // May 5, 2012 at 3:03 PM

Let’s hope tiote can play as good as he did at the bridge, he was a great until mikel elbowed him.

Have a very good feeling about the game, city feel the pressure
12 GeordieToon89 // May 5, 2012 at 3:05 PM

Final League Table top 6!

1st – Man Utd – 89pts
2nd – Man City – 86pts
3rd – NEWCASTLE – 71pts
4th – Arsenal – 70pts
5th – Tottenham – 69pts
6th – Chelsea – 67pts
13 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 3:06 PM

So, we win our next 2 and 4th is the worst we’ll do, don’t even need Spurs to drop points now if we get 6 points (Which wont be easy I know), although if they do, we would get 3rd.

Thanks Norwich! Now it’s in our hands…
14 Dannyo // May 5, 2012 at 3:06 PM

Pardew is hell bent on winning tomorrow, his team is, and so should we be.
Two more wins, and we’re back in the CL adventure. And getting through the group stages, think of the money…
15 only magpie of nepal // May 5, 2012 at 3:06 PM

Pardew has said he can’t stop Tiote from playing even if he wants. And player himself has admitted this is gonna be the biggest game in his Newcastle career.
Hmmm…… It means Tiote is really charging himself for some heavy tackles against Nigel de Jong and Yaya Toure…
16 Robby Bobson // May 5, 2012 at 3:07 PM

Ok on arsenal….

WE FINISH AHEAD OF THEM IF:

We beat City and Everton
We beat City and lose to Everton if Arsenal lose to WBA
We beat Everton and Lose to City if Arsneal lose to WBA
We draw to City and beat Everton if Arsenal dont beat WBA
We beat City and draw to Everton if Arsneal dont beat WBA

simples!
17 Solaidback // May 5, 2012 at 3:08 PM

Ideal situation would be for Us to beat Citey tomoz & for the Spurts to draw or lose, then we just need the Toffee’s to beat Wolves & Cessepool to draw with Chelski on Wednesday nite, that way, when we play the Toffee’s next Sunday, they don’t have to win because they’ll be safe in 7th, with Cessepool 5pts behind them & wont need to put up a fight to destoy our chances of getting 3rd because they’ll not catch Chelski in 6th

Now that would be a dream come true
18 only magpie of nepal // May 5, 2012 at 3:10 PM

I really get the feeling that our very own, big Sholameobi is going to get the winner tomorrow. If he doesn’t then may be Raylor can fire one in from 30 yards.
Who do u think is gonna be our unlikely hero tomorrow?
19 JAMSHA // May 5, 2012 at 3:11 PM

10 may my birthday o m 13 th the date wen i.proposed ma gf hahaha an 13 th may the date wen.newcastle gona finish 3rd wow

Just been at the ground as the arsenal game was on, great result for us, It’s on!! Got my ticket for tomorrow, pumped but squeeky bum time!
21 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 3:11 PM

I can’t take this rollercoaster anymore. Going to put myself in a coma until next Sunday night and accept the final standings and celebrate a wonderful season regardless of our position – WHICH COULD BE AS HIGH AS THIRD!

Now – how to put myself in a coma…anyone have a number for Tiote?
22 davybtoon // May 5, 2012 at 3:12 PM

Great result

Win lose or draw tomorro we go into the last game of the season with a chance of getting champions league
23 Wor Shearer // May 5, 2012 at 3:12 PM

Most of us said 7 points from the last 4 games would be enough for top 4. Guess what, that is still the case!

Big push tomorrow lads! Howay!
24 yorkshire_magpie // May 5, 2012 at 3:13 PM

Can’t wait for tomorrows game. If we are to win tiote will be the key to us winning. He has to get the tackles in to start our attacks.
25 JAMSHA // May 5, 2012 at 3:14 PM

i hope we draw 60,000 toon army at SJP with fans on the roof lol
26 WWJBD // May 5, 2012 at 3:15 PM

Bet Sky are begging for both us, Man Utd and Spurs to draw tomorrow so it all goes down to the last day of the season….dodgy refing to follow?
27 Robby Bobson // May 5, 2012 at 3:15 PM

CODARM…

maybe watch the FA cup final…reckon its going to be the sort of game that can induce a week long coma.
28 giimps // May 5, 2012 at 3:17 PM

Gotta credit Norwich too, no hanging back for a draw, they should have had 2 penalties and 2 Arsenal players sent off, Im sick of referees this season not giving penalties to lower teams (heres a clue to all referees , if its a foul and a free kick outside the box, then its a foul and a penalty inside the box).
Also, if you book a player for a foul in the 1st half and they do the same foul in the second half, then its another yellow and then a red, not one last warning(to players from the big 4 teams).
I understand the referee is there to manage an event rather than referee the game but, the game will continue just the same if you send a player off.
It could easily have been 3 points to Norwich and I can understand if their manager whinges about the decisions, after all those let offs for Arsenal could cost Norwich 1 0r 2 positions in the league and the extra revenue that brings.
As well as that, the extra point Arsenal got could benefit them by 20 mil.
Rant over, looking forward to the game tomorrow, I may leave a little earlier so I can take in the new statues and get some photies.
HWTL
29 Dannyo // May 5, 2012 at 3:18 PM

With 10 games to go, we hd us at 69 points for a 4th place finish.
I think we have to one better.
30 magpiebop // May 5, 2012 at 3:19 PM

Fancy us to score 4 or more v shity. We haven’t scored more than 3 in the league this season, so we are over due giving oot a hammering. If we can get an early goal and shity have to chase the game the gaps will open for us to exploit. Cisse and Ba doubled with 4 5 and 6 will be a good bet in my opinion. Also Cisse 40/1 and Ba 80/1 for hat-tricks look good wii Ba saving up his goals and Cisse scoring when he wants.

Drogba to score 1st and sink Liverfool in the final.
31 davetoon // May 5, 2012 at 3:19 PM

anticipation is overwhelming… just need to be 100% solid first 15 minutes.. the back 4 and Tiote and Cabaye don’t roam too far forward…

can’t afford to give up an early goal as we haven’t been good chasers this season
32 Offkey // May 5, 2012 at 3:19 PM

Wor Shearer – I remember JFA saying it before the Wigan game, must say that while I thought it could happen, I didn’t think it was probable. As soon as the Wigan weekend results occurred I changed my tune.
33 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 3:20 PM

Robby….Good idea. Let’s see if it does the trick!
34 giimps // May 5, 2012 at 3:20 PM

Hope Tiote isnt saying he wants to play cos he knows hes going in the summer.
35 Offkey // May 5, 2012 at 3:23 PM

giimps – really, where did that come from…….Buzz Killington comes to mind….
36 davetoon // May 5, 2012 at 3:28 PM

Think the only thing that will take players away from Newcastle is significant wage rises… I just hope Ashley and Lameass have budgeted for some increases due to this year…
cos players will be willing to stay if we can maybe meet them halfway on wage increases
37 Special K // May 5, 2012 at 3:28 PM

Win tomorrow and we ensure 5th place, forget CL for a second but two years ago we fighting to be promoted and Chelsea were being crowned Champions, win and we’ll finish above them. Remarkable, then consider Liverpool and their hand picking of our stars.

We have 19 more points at this stage of the season than last year. Thats unbelievable, even if we’re smashed 5-0 tomorrow I hope everyone in SJP stays behind to clap the lads around the pitch on what has been our best season since 2002/03.

That said I think we’ll win 4-3 ! HWTL
38 Paulo Martins // May 5, 2012 at 3:29 PM

stay calm, as if the Arsenal had won
we have to stay focused on our game an nothing else
39 yorkshire_magpie // May 5, 2012 at 3:29 PM

But what if we get a massive offer for tiote. Im sure they won’t be able to refuse
40 only magpie of nepal // May 5, 2012 at 3:31 PM

davetoon at 30:
Yes if we score first : 85% Chance for Win
10% Draw
5% Loss

If we concede first game could be done and dusted by the end of first half.
41 davybtoon // May 5, 2012 at 3:32 PM

Howard Webb ref aswell tomorrow this am glad about as he is very good
42 joppadoni // May 5, 2012 at 3:32 PM

norwich played fantastic at times, reminded me of us in their last ditched defending.

great result but its all still to do for us as it would have been either way but it is an extra incentive to push more tomorrow. just got to hope the right newcastle turn up!

really looking forward to the game too. if i can get drunk enough tonight ill be waking up to kick off lol
43 davybtoon // May 5, 2012 at 3:33 PM

Even if we lose tomorrow I still think we will finish 4th bcoz I think we will beat everton n arsenal will lose at WBA
44 GeordieToon89 // May 5, 2012 at 3:35 PM

Played my last game today absolutely gutted. 3 of the best years of my life come to an end. Childhood dreams over ?
45 Wor Shearer // May 5, 2012 at 3:37 PM

The Arsenal result should help the lads to focus now they have a real target. I’m not getting carried away about tomorrow, it’ll be a very hard game and all I want to see is each and every player giving their absolute all for the cause. If they do that, I think with 55,000 Geordie’s behind them it could be a very interesting game….!

Good luck and play your heart out, is what i’d tell the lads.
46 Ben3arfa // May 5, 2012 at 3:39 PM

many people jumping the gun here
there is no two ways about it
Our next 2 games are gonna be sooo difficult
I hope we get something tomorrow , gonna have a wee prayer before kickoff :p
47 josh190889 // May 5, 2012 at 3:39 PM

what annoys me is that we actually haven’t been blessed with too much luck this year… and certainly the decisions haven’t really swung our way.

I was just thinking we haven’t really had many pens decisions go our way this year. I looked it up and I was surprised to see we are definitely due some decisions (hopefully in these last two games)!

http://www.myfootballfacts.com/Premier_League_Penalty_Statistics.html

Two things stand out: -

- We have only had 3 pens all year! The second lowest amount.

- We have conceded the more pens than any other team

I think we deserve a few pens tomorrow and against everton, perhaps a few dodgy decisions going our way also!
48 GeordieToon89 // May 5, 2012 at 3:42 PM

@48

I agree we will don’t need any freebies, but I’d take them anyway. Regarding tomorrow, I have no doubt the boys will go out tomorrow, give it everything they’ve got. Its gonna be tough, tight and very tense.

Regardless of the result come the end of the season the lads have done us proud and we should all be very happy with our season. HWTL!
54 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 3:53 PM

Expecting a good battle!

has sagna actually broke his leg? thats bloody bad luck for him
56 NickeAlvaro // May 5, 2012 at 3:57 PM

With Sagnas broken leg, if we are after Debuchy we had better sign him before he stars at the euros.
57 NotAGhostToon // May 5, 2012 at 4:05 PM

Just thought i’d ask another question (i’m grateful to those who answered me before…i rarely comment I just occasionally chip in with a comment or question and sometimes dont get the chance to say thanks because im busy!) But i unfortunately didn’t get a ticket to the game as much as i wanted one! but i’m gonna travel up to newcastle to watch the match. I want a pub thats busy but not gonna be impossible to get to the bar. I considered Shearer’s or The Strawberry but i’m assuming i won’t be able to move in there! so any ideas?
58 josh190889 // May 5, 2012 at 4:12 PM

I notice guess who…’Nile Ranger’ has just scored to surely secure promotion for Sheffield Wednesday. Maybe they will sign him from us! #fingerscrossed
59 davybtoon // May 5, 2012 at 4:18 PM

I’d keep ranger I like him as a player
60 GeordieToon89 // May 5, 2012 at 4:19 PM

The more a look at our team the more a think we’d be so much better with Santon playing down the right so he can whip crosses in which he’s class at so a think were more looking towards a left back a really think Pieters is coming
61 GeordieToon89 // May 5, 2012 at 4:20 PM

Hi Niafron…how’s tricks?

Feeling great here. Been handed a golden opportunity by Arsenal today, still Man City will be a hard game. Win, lose or draw, it’s been a great season though and one we can all be proud of

Niafron…

Wanted to ask you for some time… what is the feeling in France on our late surge of form? are Newcastle grabbing the attention of the french football community and really making a name for ourselves?

What do you think the chances are of us persuading players to join over the likes of the london clubs (arse, spuds, chelski)??

Anyone else think we are becoming a really big draw for big talent in france, holland, etc.?? We can offer a bigger chance of first team football, a great team spirit, amazing fans… plus we are a team on the way up
69 niafron // May 5, 2012 at 4:45 PM

Indeed Codarm.

But to be honnest, the whole story wasn’t exactly like i imagined it.

72 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 4:47 PM

Josh…I would say so. There’s not only a good footballing plan in place for the future, but it’s also proving successful to date. I suppose the one danger is becoming a stepping stone club for some players, but in that scenario you’d have to think we’d make a nice few quid from such players, so it’s not the end of the world and no club can hold on to all of it’s players. It’s part of football
73 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 4:49 PM

Niafron. Spurs play villa away tomorrow. Kick off is 15 minutes after ours.

How did you imagine it?
74 Indian Magpie // May 5, 2012 at 4:51 PM

Spurs start 30 minutes after us
75 niafron // May 5, 2012 at 4:52 PM

josh.

People in France really like what Newcastle is doing. But this is classic, this is always the same when the underdog defeat the favourites.

But this is still a limited phenomenon, and for what concern players, they will not bet on a team after just one good season.

So Newcastle could maybe chalenge the spurs on the market, but not Chelsea or Arsenal.

In France, fans tend top consider only four english teams:
Arsenal, Chelsea, Man U and Liverpool. Those teams are called in France the “big four” (people say that in english). I don’t know if call these four teams this way in England.

And now sure, Man city is also well considered…

So Newcastle will need two or three season like this one (or one good campaign in CPL maybe) before having the same level of consideration.

Chelsea will win this. Spearing and Henderson in CM is a really weak pairing. Drogba always rises to the big occasions too.

may i also say i think niafron said way back towards the begining of the season if we got the strikers to compliment ben arfa cabaye and marveax we would be challenging for top 4 i thaught he was off his rocker.
82 niafron // May 5, 2012 at 4:59 PM

Codarm.

If i remember, i said something like that in August:

“If Beny became quickly our leader, if we can keep Barton for team spirit and combine his skill for air pass to beny short play and if we can recruit a good striker like Sturridge, i see us finishing fourth.

We will struggle in the first half of the season, but slowly, we could create a good team play, and if we’re not far of the top teams for the boxing day, i see us making a wonderfull come back.”

So Barton went away, Sturridge never came (and it was not a problem, but i really underestimated Demba Ba at the time), and it was difficult for Beny.

Furthermore, we didn’t struggle in the first half of the season, our start was excellent.

I was right about one thing: it needed some time, but finaly, our team play realy improved.
The way the team is playing now is exciting, this is totaly different of what we seen during the fall.
83 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 5:00 PM

Oleg G – Surely a joke. Can’t be a true Geordie fan’s wish to lose against City.

Niafron…Pretty close mate. I was hoping for Sturridge over the summer, but can’t say I’m disappointed “only” getting Ba and then Cisse!

Interesting to see you mentioned Marveaux, really can’t wait for him to get a chance to make an impact, looks quite the player

Don’t know for Marv…

Indeed, he’s a fantastic football player, but two weeks ago, i spoke with a guy who got the same injury.

He simply ceased to play football. For groins injuries tend to come back, you need alot of time to heal yourself and this is a very painfull process.

So you live permanently with the fear of a new injury, and finally, you just give up.

Oh wait, it’s love, my bad yet again
99 niafron // May 5, 2012 at 5:15 PM

Nothing new about Amalfitano. I read some weeks ago it was almost done, but nothing new since.

Carr came to see him play several times this winter, can’t say more except his club is near to play in Ligue 1 next year, so maybe the lad need to think about it now.

108 niafron // May 5, 2012 at 5:23 PM

@Boom Boom.

Don’t know, i don’t seen him play enough.

Some news on Corgnet: Dijon is going straight to Ligue 2, so he will probably leave.
Same for Kakuta, but he’s under contract for Chelsea, isn’t it?
109 OTP // May 5, 2012 at 5:24 PM

Great result today! Hopefully we can pounce on that! Updated my blog if anyone is interested again, wanted to write about NUFC’s transfer system but instead wrote about Belgium and the benefits it offers, strange. http://one-touch-passing.blogspot.co.uk/

111 GeordieToon89 // May 5, 2012 at 5:26 PM

Niafron – Is Kakuta looking good in france? he was well hyped up by Chelsea and never got much of a chance at Bolton or Fulham(a think it was them) but the odd appearance he made he looked very good on the ball great touch good eye for a pass and wonderful skill also he was quick.. how has he done in france?

Enrique is so overrated. Said that when he was with us too.

Terrible goal from Liverpools’s point of view.
119 WWJBD // May 5, 2012 at 5:28 PM

Jose so easily shrugged off for Liverpool…had his head turned? Off in the summer? No ambition?
120 Spuggy // May 5, 2012 at 5:28 PM

Enrique’s not the player he was at the toon – him and guti just clicked.
121 Spuggy // May 5, 2012 at 5:29 PM

The money Liverpool paid they should have a team of superstars not overated overpaid englishmen.
122 JackButler // May 5, 2012 at 5:30 PM

Without Jonas to back him up and offer constant protection Jose looks ordinary
123 Spuggy // May 5, 2012 at 5:30 PM

How much was downing hes pants.

Looking like a canny game like – end to end.
124 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 5:31 PM

Who does Ramires think he is? Cisse?
125 WWJBD // May 5, 2012 at 5:31 PM

I disagree on the Jose crack here he is a brilliant LB he is just very attacking though when needed he is big strong and a good tackler

Saying he is half the player without Jonas is arguably true though his replacement is Downing who is utter pony and is a insult to the England team
126 Dai // May 5, 2012 at 5:33 PM

We need to readjust the photo banner at the top of NUFCBLOG.

Cisse needs to be more central and Perchinio needs to be in there.

Sorry Leon, but you need to go.

Ed ??????
127 niafron // May 5, 2012 at 5:34 PM

GT89

He was almost considered the best player of Ligue 1 two month ago, but now, like all his teamates, he look terrible.

Don’t know waht happened to Dijon, was a fine team.
128 JackButler // May 5, 2012 at 5:34 PM

If Maldini had Downing in front of him he’d look suspect, Jose is still a good player but will never be as good as he was with us because of the Jonas factor
129 Dai // May 5, 2012 at 5:35 PM

Enrique has had his head tunred by the new superclub, Newcastle United.

We’ll have him back for next season at left back and Santon at right back.

As this is a Q and A with our trusty French correspondent and adopted Geordie, yes I’m talking about you Niafron

What’s the general view on why Sochaux have done so badly this season? Have the likes of Martin and Boudebouz been distracted by the rumours and their commitment decreased because of it?
132 Spuggy // May 5, 2012 at 5:38 PM

was more about clever attacking timing and bad defending reading of the game than pace really.

I blame KK for the average side he’s turned liverpool into. Playing sideways. Enrique, Spearing, Downing, over rated and over paid. Bellamy and Gerrard might save them though.

Pardew’s first pump (the poster formerly known as… well this strange name can’t be the only one you got? Is it?)

Simply, the players look like they aren’t anymore concerned about the fate of their team.

So maybe would have said you something like ” good, Marvina dn Boudebouz are availlables!” But having watched the way they behave toward Sochaux, i’m not sure i want to see them wearing the Black n’white shirt. Commitment is important in football.

This is the same feeling i had for Maiga.

Ranger scored for Wednesday in a crucial game today. Secured automatic promotion. I say we try and loan him out to Wed again in the Championship. A whole season and see if he has what it takes at the end of next season.

On other side. This article. Thats good for us.

Also Chelsea leading in final. Im backing Chelsea. Only because Liverpool make my p155 boil.

Commentators got it spot on. Why is Kenny playing Suarez as an out and out striker. Should have Judas on to support him.

Likewise Chelsea shoould be playing Torres and Drogba together. Both their most in form strikers. Torres could be the game changer here.
153 Pardew's fist pump // May 5, 2012 at 5:58 PM

In addition to Saylor and the Ameobis brothers, is there anothers born geordies in the squad?

157 MagpiesFlyHigh // May 5, 2012 at 6:02 PM

Aye but Enrique looks slow today, off the pace and judgement pretty poor, misplacing passes etc etc.
158 Shiremagpies // May 5, 2012 at 6:02 PM

Niafron – michael Richardson is geordie born – not sure if he is one of the youngsters that is being moved out in the summer though…

robby… dont know if we were just blind when he played in black aqnd white, but he was never that slow im sure….
159 Shiremagpies // May 5, 2012 at 6:03 PM

Niafron, just for the record – he is a geordie through znd through but Strolla was actually born in Nigeria

Shire, Niafron

Give it three years and the youth development will be bringing on loads more local youngsters.

Anyone think the gangsta might have turned a corner ?
163 magpie6699 // May 5, 2012 at 6:09 PM

Where’s James Tavernier from, lads?

i think bennys goal….simply because yer they were fantastic goals from cisse and crouch, but ben arfa meant every single touch of the ball and knew exactly where it was going.

If you look where the players picked up the ball and the chances from scoring from that position, its bennys all the way.

So, personnaly, i don’t know.
184 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 6:28 PM

Shire…both your questions are related somewhat.

You’re right, whether positive or negative the blog is generally pretty busy.

By mystical far away land, i guess you mean Optimism Valley (O.V)? It came around as a retaliation against a lot of negative posting on here despite the obvious improvement of the team and their performaces. It was a joke at the end of the day, but it was a vehicle in which to approach our views in a positive manner. We seem to have lost a few of the original OV crowd though – which is a shame, they were a good bunch with some great input to the blog.

Right can someone explain to me… If Chelsea werent in the final today and finish 6th in league and also dont win champ league they would still get Europe league but would have to qualify.. So what happens now they’ve won the FA Cup and Liverpool are already in europe so doesnt that mean that 7th place in the league will be enough for someone to have to go through the qualifying rounds of the Europe League? so that means Everton have everything to play for these last 2 games

222 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 6:55 PM

I wouldn’t want to be making that call. What you guys reckon, goal or not?
223 GeordieToon89 // May 5, 2012 at 6:56 PM

Why dont yous all open an account with skybet, yous dont need to deposit anything but open an account you get a free automatic £10 bet but can only be used on 1 bet cant like do a £1 here or there.. put £10 on newcastle 3-0 Cisse first goal

Just for a Newcastle win the £10 gets you £48 back

Codarm

No goal needs to be 100 % of the ball it looked like 85% of it
225 MagpiesFlyHigh // May 5, 2012 at 6:57 PM

Ibiza

almost half a ball width away
226 GeordieToon89 // May 5, 2012 at 6:57 PM

Its 300/1 on sky bet aswell
227 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 6:58 PM

GT89…shame on you for trying to get everyone betting
228 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 6:58 PM

I agree….tough for the ref and linesman though
229 Pardew's fist pump // May 5, 2012 at 6:58 PM

My gut reaction was goal, but I think it was a supreme save. Great call by the linesman too.

No idea why Suarez was wailing ‘one’ at him for. :S
230 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // May 5, 2012 at 6:59 PM

Pardew’s fist pump

Cause he is a racist dog
231 MagpiesFlyHigh // May 5, 2012 at 7:00 PM

PFP

Refs should book players for dissent when they intimidate the linesmen
232 TemuriKetsbaia // May 5, 2012 at 7:02 PM

Had a fiver on each of Ramires 20/1, Chelsea 2-1 9/1 and the double 110/1.

Already won a ton but shitting it!
233 GeordieToon89 // May 5, 2012 at 7:02 PM

Codarm – haha its free though dont actually need to spend anymore which they doing by going to the shop haha totally free and they win a helllllllll of alot more ha
234 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 7:03 PM

Think the save should earn Cech MOTM imo
235 Shiremagpies // May 5, 2012 at 7:03 PM

defo not over the line. andy carroll or not it was not 100% over the line
236 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 7:04 PM

GT89…..So the free bet would get me addicted? lol. I’ll hold you responsible and when I bet my life away, can you put me up?
237 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // May 5, 2012 at 7:04 PM

Carroll alone aaaaaannnndddd

Nothing

Loving the 35 million
238 davis_toons // May 5, 2012 at 7:04 PM

This is how money works? Or Just pure luck?
239 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 7:05 PM

Temuri…looks like a nice earner mate….a win tomorrow and what a weekend for you!
240 GeordieToon89 // May 5, 2012 at 7:05 PM

Bot gunna lie but Carroll has been unreal today since he came on totally changed the game
241 davis_toons // May 5, 2012 at 7:05 PM

Pool might not play well but dont deserves to lose
242 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 7:05 PM

davis???
243 TimKrulFan // May 5, 2012 at 7:06 PM

Carroll has played the best ive seen in a red top !!
244 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 7:06 PM

GT89…He’s looked really good. Reminds me of his days at the toon.
245 MagpiesFlyHigh // May 5, 2012 at 7:06 PM

GT89

Dogleash should have played him and Suarez up front the whole game
246 TemuriKetsbaia // May 5, 2012 at 7:08 PM

GET IN! £700 from £15. 2-1 the toon tomorrow!
247 davis_toons // May 5, 2012 at 7:09 PM

it should be a goal…
248 Charlietoon // May 5, 2012 at 7:09 PM

Soooo happy Liverpool lost. To the boys that left to win silverware congrats on your carling cup medal. I wonder if it makes up for finishing 7th or 8th in the league.
249 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // May 5, 2012 at 7:09 PM

Take that Enrique you scum
250 Shiremagpies // May 5, 2012 at 7:09 PM

didier drogba has won chelsea the FA cup according to the commentator on ESPN????? thought petr cech won it for them myself
251 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 7:09 PM

Temuri…Make sure you don’t spend it all tonight – don’t want a nasty hangover to make you miss tomorrow
252 toonking // May 5, 2012 at 7:10 PM

well 2-1 loss could this be a dissapointment too far and mean kenny will not be around next season?
253 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 7:11 PM

Shire…not that i want you to go, but didn’t you say you were leaving? You’ve got the bug bad mate….real bad

Davis…do you think it completely crossed the line then?
254 Pardew's fist pump // May 5, 2012 at 7:11 PM

TemuriKetsbai

Don’t go kicking things now

Dogleash’s forlorn, sour face
255 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // May 5, 2012 at 7:11 PM

Dogleash is the worst manager in the PL right now sorry to say…
256 TemuriKetsbaia // May 5, 2012 at 7:11 PM

@Codarm

Screw that I’m getting smashed!! LOL
257 GeordieToon89 // May 5, 2012 at 7:11 PM

a might put the free £10 on 2-1 win with Cisse first goal
258 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 7:11 PM

Lol. we even get a mention in Drogba’s interview after winning the FA Cup
259 MagpiesFlyHigh // May 5, 2012 at 7:12 PM

toonking

Has anyone on Tyneside forgiven Kenny for what he did to us ?
260 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 7:13 PM

Temuri…Understandable

GT89…Ok ok, you’ve talked me in to it
261 TemuriKetsbaia // May 5, 2012 at 7:13 PM

@Pafdews fist pump

Just did the celebration on my sofa in homage. AAAAHHH!!!
262 TimKrulFan // May 5, 2012 at 7:13 PM

DROGBA LEGEND!!!!
263 Shiremagpies // May 5, 2012 at 7:13 PM

CODARM… i did go but just had to come back on, i went got some lager and started shaking so had to come back on…… uh oh
264 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 7:14 PM

LOL…Terry: “It wasn’t over the line…honestly”

If I was listening on the radio I’d be certain it was a goal
265 MacToon // May 5, 2012 at 7:15 PM

Reading between the lines, Drog wants to join the Toon!
266 GeordieToon89 // May 5, 2012 at 7:16 PM

Lmao Codarm dont register if you’l get addicted haha
267 Shiremagpies // May 5, 2012 at 7:17 PM

CODARM…. now im going, the missus is starting to stop around the house now. so better go and shut her up. catch up with you tomorrow before the game mate. laterz everybody
268 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 7:17 PM

Shire…Yep, you got the symptoms mate and were only gone a little while. Beyond help! Time to move the fridge near the computer, get a nice chair and accept you’re going nowhere!

P.S. In your new set-up, you may need a bucket or something similar…i’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions
269 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 7:19 PM

GT89…too late mate. It’s all downhill from here
270 toonking // May 5, 2012 at 7:19 PM

after what has happened today with arsenal the game between us and city could be one of the biggest games of the season (IMO).
also i have to admit i don’t know wether i want the game to come quickly or take a long time to arrive knowing the chance of champions league is back in our hands, basically it is a way of saying with our team not use to these battles, results in games like tomorrows become a lot more nervous knowing you can gain a CL position without checkout results around you
271 Shiremagpies // May 5, 2012 at 7:21 PM

CODARM… lol a bucket. duly noted.
272 CODARM (The poster formely known as Ibizatoon) // May 5, 2012 at 7:22 PM

and no…it’s not to hit the missus to keep her quiet! Have a good night
273 davis_toons // May 5, 2012 at 7:23 PM

Yes maybe the ball might not 100% cross the line..got to watch the re-video again. But also cant stand Chelsea winning as well…
274 Big Pappa Cisse // May 5, 2012 at 7:24 PM

I loved watching Carroll squirm in that interview like, could not wait to get away
275 toonking // May 5, 2012 at 7:27 PM

MFH
i would be happier for him to stay at liverpool as it will make thing get worst every year for enrique carroll and the rest of them plus give us more chance of keeping in the dominant 6 teams.
but he is a dick head for what he did with us shame he didn’t get a heart attack like kinnear. thinks have gone so quietwith him i wonder if he has died
276 MacToon // May 5, 2012 at 7:28 PM

Was it me or did Carroll sound like he had a Scouse accent!
277 davis_toons // May 5, 2012 at 7:41 PM

But thinking back a medal is better then nothing. That might be what they are thinking now..
278 magpie6699 // May 5, 2012 at 7:56 PM

I’m looking forward to the game tomorrow – and no, I’m not really nervous. Well, if we were to take 1-0 lead I would instantly become very anxious and start counting the minutes down – even if it’s the first minute of the game! But if Citeh dominate / score I will actually be quite calm – paradoxically.
But it’s not like we’re fighting relegation and I think the atmosphere will be brill. Whatever happens I will be giving the lads a great round of applause afterwards.
279 LGFUAD21 // May 5, 2012 at 8:04 PM

Liverpool are screwed.

They cant fire Kenny because of the blind faith the fans have in him (and complete inability to see he’s lost it).

This is why you think with your head not your heart. Kenny may have shown real managerial tact in the apst but how can you pin all your ambitions on a man who has been out of the game for a decade before hiring him?
280 stephen1971 // May 5, 2012 at 8:07 PM

we,ve never lost a game on tv on a s season, lets take that into this game and finish the season unbeaten
281 stephen1971 // May 5, 2012 at 8:08 PM

i meant to say on a sunday grrrrr, few beers lol
282 archaeomag // May 5, 2012 at 8:20 PM

@LGFUAD21 – agreed
Used to have a grudging respect for Liverpool – but I am quite enjoying the wheels coming off in agonising slow motion- LFC is up on bricks, which is good news for us.
283 Lee Dodd // May 5, 2012 at 8:29 PM

We can Do This – We beat Man Utd We Beat Chelsea we Beat Liverpool we Can Beat Man City – The Lads and the Geordie Army – No Contest !!!!!!!!!!
284 north east lincs toon // May 5, 2012 at 8:44 PM

Captain colo to get an injury time winner 2mo 1-0
285 ady // May 5, 2012 at 8:48 PM

ONLY IF WE CAN WIN TOMARROW I THINK WE GOT THE CL IF WE CAN BEAT MAN CITY TOMARROW I THINK WE WILL BEAT EVERTON CUZ IN FINAL GAME WE WILL USE OUR ASS POWER TO GET RESULT
286 Papiss9 // May 5, 2012 at 8:52 PM

Two wins now, and 3rd please;) Of the last 5 games chelsea was the hardest one imo. We won that one and can win the two remaining games. HWTL
287 mikeashleyisamackem // May 5, 2012 at 8:52 PM

Av not posted in ages coz I took loads a verbal abuse for daring to suggest we could finish top four well looks like everyone has changed there minds apart from the few who agreed with me .I would just like to wish everyone to. Kiss me teeth coz it looks like I’m rite also I would like to wish the lads the best of luck and I can’t wait for tomorow am at the game and am going one .bill ha goalscorer

If we win tomorrow, im not sure what i’ll do. MONUMENTAL.
292 AmericanMagpie // May 6, 2012 at 3:38 AM
