Newcastle manager Glenn Roeder
said:
"It has been a good weekend for us after a disappointing couple of
weeks. The boys have played with courage and pride in the last two
games. We would have liked six points, but have had to settle for four.
We now go to the next game at Portsmouth and will be trying to get three
points and seeing how far up the table we can finish. We really want a
top-half finish though."
Reflecting on the draw with Arsenal, Roeder added: "We have to be
satisfied, but I think when I review the 90 minutes I feel I will be
disappointed we did not win the game." |

Pieman's Leazes View:
I got back from home the match. The first thing me flatmate, who'd
watched the game at the pub, said when I walked through the door was,
“That was a shit match”. Was it? I thought it was a great game. Ok,
so there where no goals but does that make it a rubbish game?
Yeah there was a couple of players who could have done better, Emre, for
example, got turned all game and his free kicks where crap; Duff was
ball greedy but that's the norm these days. I thought our defence was
quite canny with Carr having one of his better days, Taylor nutted
Lehmann (at least he should have done), Onyewu had a solid game and Mr
Solano was class, what with some stinging crosses and clearing the ball
off the line. Our front two where no worse than usual. Dyer needs to
have 3 shredded wheat in the morning....I actually stopped writing at
this point to go and have a poo. Whilst sitting freeing some brown
babies I started to ponder what me flatmate had said. Has my
expectations of the Toon dropped so low that a nil nil game with only
two shots on goal is now classed as near orgasmic? What happens if we
win against Chelski? I might not be allowed back in the ground. They
might tek me season ticket off me and bill me for cleaning up me mess.
Who cares in any case. It's was a great game, a proper end to end
affair that for some reason or another sent both keepers to sleep. The
silver lining being young Zogs and Mr Luque got a run out, tho the
latter only had enuff time to tie his laces before the ref blew for full
time. The cloud being Given limping off mid way through the first half
and the fact they played Rod Bloody Stewart constantly during the pre
match and half time intervals and persisted in telling us that he's got
a concert at St James' in June every 10 mins.
