Arsenal v Newcastle United: Premier League – live | Premier league

20 minutes: Burn does well to hold Saka and block his cross. It’s only another few minutes, Dan.

“After an hour with my two-year-old grandson, I pass out,” Email Jeff Sachs. “I hope you can stay up the whole game.”

We still have hope, that’s the important thing.

18 minutes: Trippier takes a corner from the left to Schar’s head, but he deflects the ball.

Elsewhere… Brighton are 1-0 up at Everton thanks to Mitoma.

“After a brilliant start, Everton have conceded a goal”, says Mary Waltz. “I naively expected 2023 to be different. Sigh.”

16 minutes: Odegaard reaches the end line on the right and tries to spike the ball into the danger area, but it bounces off a defender and then Pope, hitting the Norwegian early in the game.

Bukayo Saka v Dan Burn could be the revealing singles battle in this game. As much as I love Burn, it looks like he’ll need to be at his best to stop the England winger tonight.

14 minutes: I take care of my two-year-old daughter on Tuesdays and I don’t usually work, but it’s good to make an exception. It is true that after chasing a small child all day, seeing Premier league football is something of a relief. It sounds like it could be a lot more fun to make sure he doesn’t eat every item he finds around the house.

Nketiah takes the ball from halfway to the box, makes a couple of dummies before moving into Xhaka’s path to strike, but his connection is poor.

12 minutes: Wilson has Newcastle’s first shot with a low shot from the edge of the box but Ramsdale are all the way behind.

“It’s good to see Butler-Oyedeji on the bench!” says Mark Barbara. “With Smith-Rowe gone and Maitland-Niles gone, we needed another double-barrel last name.”

It’s always nice to see an academy graduate receive the summons.

10 minutes: Trippier takes a free kick from the halfway line into the box for Schar to touch. fortunately for Arsenalthere is a defender there to pick it up and punt.

8 minutes: Saka, looking really impressive, dribbles up the middle before slipping a pass to Martinelli, who passes to Xhaka but can’t keep his cross in play. Arsenal they look good here. Newcastle need to up their game.

“I’ve always appreciated MBM,” says Justin Madson, “particularly as an American fan who can’t afford to pay 6 separate streaming services to watch soccer. However, at this point, often the most exciting moment is when “1 new update” appears and the page hasn’t been updated yet. Is Peter Oh with another legendary pun? Mary Waltz sharing the struggles of an Evertonian Californian? Gary Naylor, who is definitely real, making a comment to put MBM’ers up in arms? No, it turns out that it was just Darwin Núñez taking another shot into the stands. Too bad, it could have been something interesting.”

Sadly, most of the time it’s just me talking.

6 minutes: Saka picks up the ball on the right flank and pushes into the box, past a couple of defenders to pick up speed and reach the end line, where he gets into a shooting position but is blocked by Pope.

The ball reaches Saka again in the area and falls under a challenge but the referee has no interest in it.

4 minutes: It’s very wet in North London tonight. Pulling it right down.

Martinelli receives the ball into space on the left and makes his way into the box. White runs up and tries to shoot, but just spins to the touchline, where Martinelli is waiting to take down Odegaard. The Arsenal the skipper stabilizes but is unable to get over the ball and volleys it over the crossbar.

2 minutes: Burn hits the ball long but well past Wilson, allowing Ramsdale to collect. Arsenal he tries to pass the ball but barely has time to think under pressure from the Newcastle press.

“So, thanks to nominative determinism, we think that Trippier is a fan of guts?” asks Joe Pearson.

He is from Bury and they do a lot at Bury market.

Kick off

“I wonder if it’s the weather, these Scandinavians. They’re always having an existential crisis.”

Jeff Sachs is afraid of the cold.

“Oh Lord,” says Charles Antaki, “Mikel Arteta has gone and done it: he has trained his players to play exactly 96 minutes and then stop, allowing the other side to score a few goals before the final whistle of extra time. Arsenal The fans are all too familiar with the many ways the full-back can mess up and collapse, but this would be a new one.”

I think they can push it to 97 minutes.

Keith Barclay on Trippier: “FYI: one of the 5 yellow cards was in the Carabao Cup, so it doesn’t count…”

Of course.

“Hello from a rather cold Sweden” Julian Menz says. “As a Chelsea fan, I find myself facing multiple existential questions.

“Growing up in the 80s and especially 96? when Keegan had the magnificent moment from him, he would have been more than happy for Toon to win something. As a London publican at the time, I can attest to the fact that his followers are classy.

Now, however, I hope Arsenal win, in the vain hope that we can make it to fourth place.

“I have to admit I spent a few years living in Finsbury Park, Muswell Hill, Bounds Green, but still.

“Want Arsenal to win? I actually hope they win the PL to be honest. My club is shit right now, it’s a London thing.”

“I live in Peru and a traditional dish there is Cau Cau”, says Jimmy McManners. “Made from potatoes cooked in tripe (and the jelly that comes out when boiling), Yellow pepper (yellow chili) and I’m sorry (a mild-tasting Peruvian mint) I avoided it for six years, and when I finally ate it, I regretted avoiding it for so long.”

It sounds full.

Mikel Arteta: “They are a very good team at a good time. It will be a great test.

“We always seek to play at the highest level.

“We have other players to intervene. Eddie has done very well and the team has stepped up.

“We always try to maximize the 96 minutes.

“I can’t meet other people’s expectations, I can only manage the players and the staff.”

“You can tell Mr. Sachs” send emails to Mary Waltz, “That as an Everton fan, good food helps me get over the fear and loathing of a relegation battle. Large volumes of alcohol are no longer an option, so pork, beef, organ meats, and copious amounts of fresh vegetables are my antidepressants.”

“Hello Will,” says Mark Mackarel. “I thought Kieran Trippier was suspended for this game for taking a yellow against Leeds? Nervous Arsenal fan grabbing straws here.

He’s definitely playing, so enjoy your nerves.

Howe also ruled out Newcastle having a clause to sign Cristiano Ronaldo if they qualify for the Champions League, which is amusing on every level.

Eddie Howe: “I think it will produce a good game. From our perspective, we need to do our best tonight.

“Tactically, they play a very high level game, so we have to be good tactically to be in the game. We also have our way of playing, so it will be interesting to see who wins.

“The [Callum Wilson] He really wants to play, he had a season in the World Cup, he came back and caught an illness, which was a blow. He is back and ready.

“I think there is pressure on both teams. There is pressure on us, we have lived well with that pressure this season.

“Happy New Year!” Happy New Year, Peter Oh. “I can’t believe you’re still talking about Mary Waltz’s guts (soup-making adventures)!

“As for the reader on jury duty. It is clearly a case of guilt on the part of the (football) Association.”

I have no new ideas, as you well know, Peter.

“I am in Portugal and the tripe is still eaten a lot”, says Tim Stappard in reference to tripe soup. “In fact the nickname of the portuenses is tripeiros.”

“You can tell Mr. Pearson (see 1854) that my Romanian tripe soup experiment went well.” says maria waltz. “I grew up in Southern California and had many homemade versions of Menudo, the Mexican tripe soup, but the Romanian version was different, but satisfying.”

Emails from Jeff Sachs: “It seems that winter has influenced MBM recently with a lot of comments about food.”

We all need to be well fed, Jeff.

Les Ferdinand believes that there are no weaknesses in the Arsenal team, that’s a bold statement.

For legal reasons, I am omitting the sender’s name.

“Absolutely gutted to be stuck sitting in a dingy, fluorescent-lit waiting room as a jury instead of being in the pub watching my Arsenal go 10 points ahead.

“Be careful: your comment could be the difference between a ‘guilty’ verdict or an exoneration…”

It’s nice to add an extra layer of emotion to the blog.

“I Ciorba de burta this on vacation in Romania a few years ago,” says Darren Hall. “One of my friends, Valerio, tasted it and said ‘it tastes like corral’”.

There could be a new striker in Arsenal soon, if they can reach an agreement with Shakhtar Donetsk.

Mikel Arteta on the big game.

If you’d like some match-relevant content, I can offer that to you as well.

Naturally, some of you will want me to talk more about team news. However, Joe Pearson wants to take us back to a chat on my most recent MBM on Sunday. “I wanted you to know that I made Ciorba de Perisoare last night, based on a couple of recipes I found online. Unique flavor profile that I don’t think I’ve come across before. And a surprisingly vibrant orange color (tomato paste and sour cream will do that). Anyway, thanks for opening my eyes (and palate) to a whole new world of food! And good luck to Mary Waltz with hers next experiment of hers Ciorba de Burta!”.

What world do we live in?
