Painful

Oh so painful. After seeing a dominant Arsenal controlling for almost the entire match and even have to come from behind to salvage a draw.

Despite all the domination over their visitors, the Gunners fell behind to a Keiron Dyer strike in the 29th minute. Once again, in similar fashion, the Gunners had to start hunting for an equaliser. To their credit, they didn’t panic.

Theirry Henry who was named as a sub for this match, just had to come on. The importance of our captain was demonstrated once again. In the 70th minute, he curled in a wonderful freekick equaliser for the Gunners.

Shay Given, the Toon goalie must be singled out for praise. It was his saves that rescue a draw for Newcastle. I must say the Toon Army are a bit boring… it was not too long ago when Ginola and Asprilla were thrilling the crowds…those were exciting times.

10 matches have been played at the Emirates so far. Out of which, there were 5 wins and 5 draws, with no losses. The record have to be improved if the Gunners were to mount any serious title threat to either Man Utd or Chelsea. I can’t help feeling that the Grove is a bit jinxed.
