    What on earth is Aubameyang doing at Arsenal? Lethal striker, in his prime who should be leading the line of a champions league top contender club.

  2. Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle

    Finally!

    And that has woken the crowd up too.

    Wasn't a great cross from Nicolas Pepe but a solid header planted in by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

  4. 'Free header for Aubameyang'

    Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle

    We talked about moving the ball quicker and that's exactly what they do. Nicolas Pepe chips it towards the back post and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang can't believe how much space he has at the back post.

    It's a free header and he puts it away well.

    GOAL - Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

    Brilliant header from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and a lovely ball in from Nicolas Pepe.

    Pepe just curls it over to the back post and Aubameyang gets there ahead of the defenders and nods it into the bottom right corner.

    What rubbish to suggest Arteta is not up to it. The club is in this trouble because of those so called supporters. Go to Spurs or belt up.

    Michael

    Silvio De Fede and others talking nonsense about Arteta. Bloke's been in charge 10 games and people are expecting miracles.

  7. Arsenal 0-0 Newcastle

    The ball hits the ref so he stops play and gives an uncontested drop ball to Newcastle. Their possession doesn't last long though, as it rolls through to Bernd Leno.

    Rob Alderman: Norwich and Villa far more entertaining to watch than Burnley, Palace and Newcastle combined. Shame they're not being rewarded for their adventurous approach.

  9. Arsenal 0-0 Newcastle

    Hector Bellerin almost gets through on the right but Allan Saint-Maximin does well to scoop it away.

    Bukayo Saka's cross from the left is then straight into the arms of Martin Dubravka. This is a bit better from Arsenal, they have picked up the pace a little.

  10. 'Unlucky Nketiah'

    Arsenal 0-0 Newcastle

    Lee Dixon
    Former Arsenal and England defender on BBC Radio 5 live

    Brilliant, intricate play by Mesut Ozil and Nicolas Pepe to create the chance for Eddie Nketiah and it's a no-look shot from him that just shaves the bar. Very unlucky.

  11. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Arsenal 0-0 Newcastle

    Granit Xhaka's ball goes through three players in the box before it comes out to Hector Bellerin on the right.

    He tries to ping it back into the middle but it's headed away. Dani Ceballos then does the same before Pepe sets up Eddie Nketiah.

    He hits it first time but glances the top of the crossbar from six yards out. What a chance!

    Silvio De Fede: Arsenal need a true manager at the start of the next season. Arteta isn't worth it and it is pretty clear already.

  13. Arsenal 0-0 Newcastle

    Lovely ball from Dani Ceballos, who sees the run of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang through the middle.

    The striker can't bring it under control and ends up poking it wide. That would have been something special!

    Thomas: NUFC really taking the game to Arsenal with 32% possession...

  15. KICK-OFF

    Arsenal 0-0 Newcastle

    Back underway at the Emirates. Will we have a winner?

    Big Gray: Boring first half performance from Arsenal who have offered little or nothing in all areas of the game so far. Be more interesting to watch a scab form.

  17. HT: Arsenal 0-0 Newcastle

    Who wants to see Gabriel Martinelli then?

    Thumbs up or down.

    Stephen Brogarth: Arteta has had so much press coverage this week about his influence and positive changes to Arsenal. Well they look bang average to me. If this is the Arteta way arsenal fans will turn on him early next season.

    Imti Jamir: Arsenal need an experienced player to finish the final third ball. Bring on Lacazette.

  19. 'Martinelli could open up Newcastle'

    HT: Arsenal 0-0 Newcastle

    Former Arsenal and England defender on BBC Radio 5 live

    I'd like to see Gabriel Martinelli introduced sooner rather than later.

    I think his direct style can help Arsenal open up Newcastle's backline.

    Noel Fitzpatrick: Would love to see Allan Saint-Maximin up against Adama Traore, would be a bruiser. With the Frenchman's bandana, it would be like Street Fighter 2.
