Newcastle In Best Comeback Ever
By Oliver Sparrow, writing from London
What a fantastic game of football - I think I’ve just about managed to recover my breath. The beautiful game doesn’t get much better than this. I can’t recall having watched a better match than this in any league, cup competition or major final.
In a way, this was a match that very much suited the English football fan’s mentality. Arsenal are the ‘baddies’ – if you will. They’ve got the players and the skill to play Newcastle off the park. Placing the starting line-ups side by side only serves to juxtapose the gulf in quality between the two squads. On the other hand we have Newcastle – the ‘goodies’. They might not have the same silky refinement and glorious guile that their Southern opponents possess, but they’ve got strength, passion and an impenetrable Northern resilience. You can’t teach character; that needs to come from the heart. Newcastle are the very epitome of the English underdog. This was David versus Goliath.
