RE: WINDOW SHUT! BLAME WHO?

I was to reply, "I'm hoping too" when I first saw your message, but I couldn't reply then and now the match has been played.

Before the match, I was of the opinion that if Arsenal puts in their best performance, Newcastle will crack. I also was sure they will turn up with fire.

Then about 45mins before the match, the lineup was revealed and my enthusiasm was a little dampened. I was wondering how he came up with the idea to use EXACTLY same team that played City. I don't just get!

True to my expectation, Arsenal came out ready and firing, but fatigue is not your mate, it began to betray some of them ni.

You know how that Newcastle MUST press heavily and then you are chasing the tie, so is it not more than enough reason to freshen things up? You need top fitness to execute today's match and you are blessed with a rich bench.

Must Martinelli start, for instance? Can't Harvetz start from the bench?
