Bitter Arsenal sent a brutal reminder
Newcastle’s 1-0 win against Arsenal in November last year involved a controversial decision to decide the result.

No Livramento will be for Martinelli
Gabriel Martinelli had an afternoon to forget. The Brazilian winger failed to make an impact and fans online were quick to acknowledge that.

Using a clip of Arsenal Fan TV host Robbie Lyle running to troll Martinelli’s performance, one X user posted a hilarious video with the caption: “Martinelli tries to overtake Livramento”.
