Quite a yawn

It was a pretty lacklustre display by a weary Arsenal team. Luckily, there was no fourth consecutive Premiership defeats in the trot. It was their first goalless draw in 15 months.

I felt Diaby tried hard to link an attacking game plan with Emmanuel Adebayor. The overall effect was lightweight and hardly threatened. When the Gunners did go forward, the Newcastle defence crowded them out. How I wish Titus Bramble played.

Not much action till the 84th minute when Solano cleared off his line. The only excitement in this drab match was the Lehmann, Gallas and Taylor skirmish.

Let’s hope confidence is restored for this Saturday’s match against Bolton, the bogey team.
