   What minute did it happen? I’ll put it up. Didn’t catch the game but did record it.

   Great win but once again van persie limps off. We can’t sustain a title challenge if people get hurt and there is no QUALITY on the bench to replace them.

   Denilson had a good 2nd half but his 1st half was abysmal. I lost count of how many times he gave the ball away

   Is there possible of making a video of Nasri passing through half of the Newcastle team? You know, it happened during the second half. You cannot have forgotten already, I’m sure.

   …would have had his patience tried by Joey fucking Barton after that piece of work. I’d like to see Nasri’s responding clip of the ankles about 2 minutes later though.

   Thanks, Arsenalist.

   What really pisses me off is Keegan calling that a “good tackle”. Barton threw his upper body into Nasri’s leg potentially resulting in a serious hyperextended knee.

   Nasri would have been justified in clocking Barton.

   Jesus, uploaded the ankle clip.

   Haris, I missed the game, tell me when it happened.

    Oh, sorry! I read that you’ve missed the match and recorded it. I just assumed that you watched it afterwards. Well, unfortunately, I can’t remember the exact minute. It was second half for sure and probably even after the third goal. Samir took the ball in our half and with the movement of his body and his quick mind, he skipped through four Newcastle players. It was an excellent move.,otherwise I wouldn’t have asked you(being the only one worldwide who has recorded the match ) to upload it. =)

    [...] you want to check replays of the goals (plus Joey Barton’s tackle) head on over to The Arsenalist.  He’s not just bad, The Arsenalist is bad [...]

    You can also include the clip where clichy nutmeg joey barton just for the sake of humiliating him i think that is around 90th minute, it really sums up the whole French contingent hatred towards him

    [...] Literally, Barton’s first action on the field was a reckless, full blooded challenge on Samir Nasri: running full speed at the Arsenal winger, before the ball has even been put back into play, by the time the ball was played to Samir, Barton was flying in to poke the ball away.  I think that at that point in the game (89th minute of a 3-0 blow out) there’s no point in that level of aggression, but others would disagree and say that it’s a legal challenge: fair enough, he won the ball.  Just humor me and watch the video again.

    [...] for me was that fucking smer on his face he looks like a thug all over. You can judge for yourself The Arsenalist has got clips of both tackles and if someone tells me that Nasri deserved a yellow then watch it [...]

    I think anyone that has a criminal record should be given a second chance, otherwise we are just being blind to the fact people can change. The other thing we have to do is put our hands up when we make a mistake, Joey Barotn doesn’t deserve what he has got and he doesn’t deserve Kevin Keegan’s support.

    I’m just hoping that with Keegan’s departure Barton gets exactly what he deserves, a lifetime ban from the FA and dropped like a stone from Newcastle. He should be forced to be at the dole office on Monday morning.

    Urges for this insightful website. Often, the greatest knowledge develop from the blogs one wouldnt expect. Until now, I failed to give whole lot idea to commenting on blog page entries and have left opinions even less. Looking through your great article, may very well promote me to do so more regularly.
