Newcastle vs. Arsenal

4-0, Premier League, St James' Park, 27/10 -10
Krul 45 (og),
Walcott 53, 88,
Bendtner 82

Really tough game, but thanks to a Newcastle own goal at the end of the first half gave us the upper hand ahead of the second half, which sealed the game in a way, as Newcastle found themselves exposed at the back when pushing forward.
Poor Gibbs picked up another injury after a couple of minutes, and it is likely to keep him out for a few weeks.

The game was very even for long periods of the game, we had a lot of possession, but Newcastle created as many chances as us, it provided with an interesting game that went pretty much backwards and forwards all the time, with plenty of chances for both sides.
And that really sums up the first half, with us having quite some luck to go into halftime as 1-0 leaders.

In the second half we were the better team and everything Newcastle threw at us, either Szczesny or the defense dealt with, and it really must be mentioned that the young Polish 'keeper was outstanding in this game, and sure looks like something for the future.
It didn't take too long for us to take the lead, when Krul kicked the ball across the field, the ball was then nodded back across the field, and there Theo picked up the ball, just ran away from everyone and finished the move off with a cheeky finish!
The game was sealed with eight minutes left, Fabregas (who entered the game in the second half) gave the ball to Bendtner out on the left, he moved to a more central position before unleashing a fierce shot that went straight for the top corner! Surely one of his best goals yet.
And to finish the evening off in fine style Walcott got his brace, when Cesc Fabregas spotted the young Englishman on the move he provided with another breath-taking assist, and Theo did not let us down with the finish!

Injury Update;
-Gibbs looks to be out for a few weeks as a result of the knee injury he picked up in the game
-Both van Persie and Ramsey will return to full training next week, though some fitness training is still necessary
-Almunia is still one or two weeks away, though it is not sure whether he will take the no 1 spot at once when he returns, as Fabianski has done extremely well in his absence, and Szczesny is looking promising.
