Arsenal deliver joyful justice for fans

The last -minute Brazilian work from Arsenal to Newcastle on Sunday evening, was a deserved reward for an attacker performance full of verve and invention which had, for 84 minutes, seemed founder on the twin rocks of very mentioned defensive solidity of Newcastle and the PGMOL.

We are all arsenal fans here, right? We have seen some unfair objectives in our time, we even marked some of them ourselves. But there was something almost unjust in the way we saw Nick Pope refuse EBERE EZE Twice, the post deny Leandro Trossard and the Var Nier Arsenal what the most agreed was a nailed to the penalty (obviously, we will come back to it).

And then we had the dubious pleasure of looking CRISTHIAN MOSQUERA Slice a ball for an unnecessary corner, Gabriel decides to go down and try to buy a fault that he was never going to get rather than getting up and trying to put Rudi Voller Nick Woltemade Out of his head in the area.

Was it really going to happen again? It certainly seemed that it could.

While Arsenal continued to enter the second half, we did not really seem to find a way to pass – the Pope with the exception of Jurrien TimberThe header having been deliciously lobed by Martin Zubimendi As sure as a signal as everything would be our day.

And yet. And yet.

Our own short corner, five minutes on the left. Rice, Eze and Odegaard (how good is it to type these three names together? Very good) and Declan RiceThe nasty delivery is rejected at the house of the post distant by Mikel Merino.

Yes, the same Mikel Merino whose selection * checks the notes * last weekend was shot in derision as proof of Mikel Artetais excessive caution. I almost broke my knee by cutting our sofa in a furious celebration, my companion James may have traumatized his wife and his boy Stanley for life.

I’m going to get my hands here and say that when the team fell last weekend, I was not super happy to see Merino’s name on the team sheet, but not because he is not an offensive player – he is absolutely. But in the absence of Martin Odegaard, we needed a player who could knit the attack together and the merino is obviously not that.

Anyway, it is a bit ironic that, after having kept us at a distance for 84 of the 90 minutes, it is really Nick Pope that we must thank for our winner. By sending the ball without care to the grateful feet of MLS, finally another cross of Rice Declan is heading for a last turn.

“Please get it well,” I mumble in my breath. And, boy, we did. Odegaard’s delivery is perfect, Saliba is just enough to block Nick Pope without encouraging him and Gabriel nods.

Aaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!

Do Eddie HoweJason Orange (no, not this one), Shaka Hislop and you too Jimmy Nail! Your boys just took a hell of blows, Spiggy can you hear meeeeee?

We have been bathed and thrown in the last two hours and we got from the ground and found a way to win. And, are not mistaken, when the goals came from pieces, it was a triumph of creativity and to go out and try to win a football game.

Newcastle could have done a little better if they focused on this and trying to be the northeast stoke.

They put their dropout early with Jelinton Engage what seemed to be an obvious yellow card fault on Bukayo Saka with barely a minute on the clock. No card, he continued to make the traneau spot on the ground, finally receiving a yellow card for … by cutting the ball. You couldn’t catch up.

You couldn’t either when Jarred Gillett reward Viktor Gyokerres The only fault that had given him the whole match, which would have been a penalty, if the Var had not intervened to underline the slightest touch of Nick Pope on the ball.

It’s funny how PGMOL seems to decide arbitrarily if contact on the ball is or not. Of course, we all remember the way we have been told William Saliba had not actually played the ball when it is collided with Joao Pedro in Brighton in December of last year. After a long review Var, which – as Bukayo Saka respectfully stressed it after the match – really questions the “clear and obvious” thing, the penalty is canceled and Arsenal is left to boil.

I don’t know if it’s important that Darren England is the Var that saw nothing in the mls tackle at Wolves to suggest Michael Oliver was wrong to have brandished a red card, but it’s fascinating for me how often we come out on the wrong side of a Var review.

And that Viktor Gyokerres can suffer Jamal Lascelles Try a live recreation from the 90s Travolta and Cage with actuator, Face / Off on him – and still does not receive a free kick.

Has anyone saw or heard Bruno Guimares Besides? Did he even play yesterday?

Annnnnnnyway, I guess we don’t have to worry about it now, and we don’t have to worry about traveling in Newcastle, Old Trafford or Anfield (despite the cup competitions) for next year. Huzzah! And we went through this fairly difficult period, undergoing a game injury to the last two games, only leaving only two points behind the league champions and the first pace setrs, Liverpool. Double Huzzah and thank you for your service, Eddie Nketiah!

It was really a fairly emotional moment. Eight days ago, I was standing in the end of time with everyone, wanting an arsenal goal which, again – – again – I had never really had the impression that it was going to happen.

To be honest, when Ebere Eze had the ball on the halfway line, I’m not sure I really see it. But as Gabriel Martinelli Ran through and the ball completed in the northern sky of London, falling in slow motion, I saw it definitively. While the ball bounced towards the goal, it’s not okay, isn’t it? Fans behind the northern bank lens, our canaries in the range, telling you very clearly, yes! And then it’s an absolute bedlam, in me, around me. Everyone.

Jo later told me that she had never seen me celebrate a goal like this one, no, not even yesterday.

A good thing about Var, the semi-automated offside process has really accelerated and now we no longer have to worry Lee Mason “Forget” to draw lines.

A month ago, I was fortunate to be in the Leeds match at the end of August and – yes, of course, I was in the ground in good time for the new most emotional signature announcement in my life of support Arsenal – because we welcomed Ebere Eze at home. I wanted this guy to Arsenal for ages. I had watched it a little at QPR and, with its mixture of technical capacities and power – used to the palace in the past 5 years (especially the last!), He always felt like a typical Mikel Arteta player. Did the man himself want it?

Obviously.

Fortunately, we obtained this answer as well as the possibility of Eze joining … them open.

Oh wow, what afternoon. Ebere obtained the type of reception normally reserved for trophies elevators, so he must win one now. If you doubt whether it would be a popular signature, let me say this. As soon as I got home, I placed my order for an “Eze 10” shirt with a free shirt print – the third, of course. This shirt arrived last weekend.

About a week before his arrival, I received an e -mail from Arsenal apologizing for the delay, but we were obviously very busy – this kind of thing. I’m sure you have one too.

For me, bringing Ebere home to the house looks like something that the arsenal fans base needed. If I haven’t been continuing for so long, I could understand why, but I think everyone who read this will have their own very personal reasons.

Speaking personally, I find his story incredibly convincing, but none of this would matter if he was not a funny footballer to look. And I think we can already see that, alongside his teammates in England – with Noni Madueke Also more added to the mixture – it will bring the pleasure to Arsenal.
