Nicklas-Bendtner-Arsenal

Arsenal booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup with an impressive 4-0 win over Newcastle United at St. James’s Park.

Newcastle survived an early onslaught from the Gunners, though fell behind on the stroke of half-time in agonising fashion as a goal-line clearance from Ryan Taylor rebounded back off the head of ‘keeper Tim Krul and into the net.

Eight minutes after the break Arsenal doubled their lead in controversial circumstances, with the home fans screaming for a free-kick for a block by Bendtner on Williamson as Walcott chipped the ball coolly over Krul.

Nicklas Bendtner put the game to bed ten minutes from time with a sweetly struck finish after a trademark quick break from the Gunners, before Walcott grabbed his second of the game after once again racing clear of the Newcastle defence.

More to follow…

    The Bendtner incident looked strange indeed. From the replays it looked like the Newcastle defender wrapped his arm around Nicklas and they both tumbled to the ground. May have been Bendtner though.

    A decent result and notable performances from Kos, Szczesny and our goalscorrers.

    it looked like williamson made a meal off it and entangled himself with bendtner knowing full well he wasn’t going to catch walcott. By all means bendtner knew what he was doing but it wasnt like he cannoned directly into him. As the game grew bendtner got better and better. He let off a few very tame shots here and there but his goal was top draw. Disappointed in rosicky;felt it was his turn to step up and pull the strings in midfield but he was anonymous for large periods of the match, leaving eastmond and denilson to set things up more then they should have. Szczesny was immense (a great save to deny smith from long range), the only error he made was smartly blocked by koscielny. Great game overall and its always great winning comfortably when you have to wake up at 230 in the morning to watch it.

    God it was annoying seeing that thug barton running around recklessly. Intentionally corking eastmonds hamstring in following through on cesc up ending him. Him and carroll should be locked up as it is.
    Bring on the hammers, and while they are visiting maybe ask parker if he’d like to be our backup defensive midfielder

    I am still laughing at the goalie back headering the ball into his own net, what a cracker. Walcott, Bendtner, Koscielny and Chesney had good nights unfortunately Vela very poor again and Kos must play instead of Djourou who doesnt seem to know how to get goal side of an attacker. Very well done though boys bring on the quarters draw.

    the magic moment for me was the introduction of Cesc. I thought it a great learning experience for the young guns and a practical in how you find and develop space. up to that point in game at midfield we looked rushed and to quickly closed down despite decent movement of the ball. it was not our normal selves. It was like AW said Cesc give me 20 minutes and show these kids what I am trying to teach them. And the game opened up right before our eyes.

    It is a game well worth watching to understand the arsenal way of playing football.

    It is not as easy to play either without the lead or against a team with a closed up shop but that was not the case last night.

    the refs have gone OTT with this new offside directive and have they gone too far? And how will it be used against us? Bottomline, if B-52 was not immediately offside at time ball played then his being run into by defender was simply an attempt to sell the offside… which didn’t work.
