CC Match Preview/Stats/Thread: Newcastle Utd v Arsenal
By Tyne-Talk
October 26 2010
Newcastle United host Arsenal at St James' Park tomorrow night for their fourth round Carling Cup clash. Newcastle manager Chris Hughton is likely to play several of the youngsters who beat off Chelsea in the last round when he made 10 changes, which could see Nile Ranger and Haris Vuckic both given pitch time.
Newcastle are without the usual long term injured players, Steven Taylor (shoulder), Steve Harper (collarbone), Dan Gosling (knee), Hatem Ben Arfa (broken leg) and Sol Campbell is not fit after injury ruled him out of the last two League games. Danny Guthrie is likely to play whilst Peter Lovenkrands, Alan Smith, James Perch, Wayne Routledge and Ryan Taylor could all be recalled after sitting on the bench at the weekend. Xisco is also available for selection.
Arsene Wenger picked a consistently strong side for the last round and is likely to do the same tomorrow. Theo Walcott and Nicklas Bendtner could both start. However, Van Persie (ankle/foot) is sidelined alongside Aaron Ramsey (broken leg) whilst Almunia (elbow) could be fit for the bench.
Both sides scored 4 goals in their 3rd round game, with Arsenal beating Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 and Newcastle securing a 4-3 win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Hughton will need to rely on his team turning a corner on home soil after a string of disappointing result at St James’ Park, whilst Wenger will be keen to secure a win with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City all out of the running.
Fact: Newcastle have won 65 of the 165 meetings between the two sides, whilst Arsenal have won 64.
Fact: This is the first time since the 2006/07 season that Newcastle have reached the 4th round.

65 all then.
Since the end of WW1, 1919, when the FA restarted its 4 tier football league, with Arsenal fc in the 1st div, thereโs only ever been one club to have never been relegated from Div 1/ EPL.
Arsenal fc
Letโs keep making history

It must be the way you talk to people LMK 
. Ive posted on there a few times over the last year as have to admit a soft spot for the way Arsenal and Wenger go about their business.
It is one of the busiest sites like so sometimes your questions might be sent to the bottom of the screen quickly. Which post were you on like mate.

Half-heartedly wished this was played at Emirates. So far we have 2 wins in 2 tries in London as opposed to our home form which has quite frankly been atrocious.

We haven't lost in London since April 2009 waffles! We could've done with that away tie!
Just kidding, I think it'll be a lot closer for being at SJP. Mind you, I thought we were in for a pasting at Stamford Bridge.

Looking forward to a good game tonight. First goal as always will be pivotal.

feeling the love here!
i'm well over it, but i didnt get a reply when i asked about what wenger calls financial doping, and the nature of a league where success neccessarily breeds success through the difference in prize and appearance money available to teams inside and outside of the top four. it was a while ago mind.
no replies at all, whatever they say here, so no-one upset me cos they just ignored me!
and i didnt speak to anyone badly biff, i save that for dafties...

This is going to be a tough match especially as we won't be playing our first team.
I'm looking forward to watching it, I'm sure it won't be boring.
C'mon the Toon.

perhaps hughton learned his lesson last season, when we lost two significant players for important league matches due to injury in a coca cola cup game

this commentator is awful. he's been making his own point about the offside rule, while ignoring bendtners foul and the fact wallcott himself was possibly offside, forget bendtner

Once again, CH shows his Achilles' heel-dodgy subs. This reminds me of the game against Peterborough last season. Why bring on Carroll? So he can get hurt in a meaningless appearance?

Gutierrez, too. Seriously, wasn't CH going on about how this competition wasn't a priority? This makes no sense. Those guys shouldn't have even been on the bench.

Great goal by Nik.
we had the stronger team and a bit of luck, you had us rocking at 2-0 but fabregas steadied the ship.
4-0 flatters us, but we couldnt score a goal for you.

As you say you passed on it, but your players had a good go nonetheless.
Its a disgrace how they are treating your manager. he would have to win league to keep his job

I wouldn't believe it if I were you mate, Alan Oliver seems to have cooked it up and won't let it lie. Happily Sky Sports appear to have made up some @#$%& about betting being suspended on Premier League managers back sacked to dramatise the situation a bit.
I doubt even Mike Ashley's that thick.

Just finished watching the game on sky plus. Even though I knew the score it was still an entertaining game. There were positives to be taken out of the game from the young lads getting a good run out to the way we never gave up.
Even Perch had probably his best game for us but unfortuantly still conceded 4. We made a lot of changes and obviously dont have anywhere near as good a squad as Arsenal. Ranger put himself about even though he is more like Bambi than Shola. Vukic had some nice touches and also gets stuck in.
First goal a bit unlucky, second could have been offside or chalked off for the foul. Third was poor by Guthrie then a top finish and forth was right at the end and a top finish.
Good game but totally agree about the subs. Im not sure I would have risked it if we were only one down but at two I would have just stuck with who was on.
Good crack from the Gooners who have posted. See you lot for the premier game.

Dude, Perch blatantly handled in the box in the first half (lucky boy), was bailed out by Williamson countless times and both of them were beaten by balls over the top several times. Maybe his best game, but still not very good.
Vuckic (his touch reminds me of Tiote) and Ranger (nobody at the back for them could handle his speed) were bright spots, sure. But for me, that's about it. I have to say, I was shocked at how poorly we started. Maybe Hughton shouldn't have stated that he didn't give a damn about the competition so openly before the match.

yes, some nice touches by vuckic, but he wasnt able to make a real mark on the game. i thought barton was very forceful and direct with the attacking side of his game when he came on - vuckic would do well to emulate this as on this showing he has the tools to play quick passing football and he certainly spots a pass. one through ball from a wide position was cut out at full stretch by the arsenal defence - few of our first team would have spotted or attempted the pass, in my opinion.
and ranger seems to have something too, but a head full of wasps as he cannot make his mind up quickly enough what to do when the ball is played to him.
the coaches need to earn their corn now, and get these two up to bench standard this season. they are old enough, and both have strengths we need to add to our first team pool
