Premiership - Newcastle vs Arsenal Football betting preview

First 10/10 in this season for me and I won't say much about it, as those of you who read my articles already know that I stake my own money on them. For this one I am going full throttle (maximum bet my pocket can take) and I will explain why. Arsenal managed to get a result without much effort in a boiling Villa park and most important without Cesc Fabregas. Especially in the first half Arsenal were such a joy to watch. Passing, movement, Wenger is an architect. They created numerous chances and they looked very confident with their abilities.

Newcastle were all over the place v Blackburn and they never convinced the Toon Army that they are worth to wear the shirt. Sam payed a lot of money to bring players in however at the moment he is not welcome at St. James park. He is not even respected by bad boys Smith & Burton and the notorious Nicky Butt who whistles in the air as he could not care less. I noticed last week when they lost 0-3 to Liverpool, fans were swearing at Arlldyce to go home.

The main drawback for the Magpies is that they concede too EASILY. You cannot look forward to your future if you insist accepting goals in your last 11 matches!! They even lost 1-0 to rock bottom Derby!

Arsenal won 2-0 at the Emirates when these sides met for the Carling cup. I reckon it is going to be one of the same or maybe it can get even worse. Actually Arsenal are able to score possibly 3 times with that woeful Newcastle defensive line up. Last but not least I believe you must stake your 10/10 not only in terms of match news and team abilities but also when odds value is on offer. That is why sometimes you see me stake 4,5,6 /10 although I am really fond of the result.

Another wrong set handicap imo and we may see the companies changing it until Wensday to -1 that will be more appropriate. Bookies really tripped themselves over with this one, no-one is going to 'bite' on the home +3/4 as long as he is loosing his bet with 0-1, 1-2!! It is so obvious for God's sake!! Moreover before a couple of weeks Pool at St. James was offered in the region of -1 AH and now you want me to refuse Arsenal on -3/4? Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Good luck to those who follow this one with real money and of course to those who disagree but please don't stake too much. Gunners it is for me guys!

** Hleb is likely to miss this one for Arsenal as he picked up an injury in the game v Villa. Harper and Given gave an answer to the criticism made towards Sam backing their boss up.

*** The referee of this promising fixture will be Mike Dean. Mike has the best current ranking in the FA referee tables with an average of 5.4, while Rob Styles follows with a 4.3 at second position. Dean has handed 4 RED cards in 10 matches, however he has not played Arsenal before, only Newcastle at the start of August away to Boro (2-2). The referee is strict and his record shows that he will punish violent contact, as he won't be hesitant to show a straight RED in a possible second bookable offense. That's good news for the Gunners I guess, as Wenger has asked repeatedly this season for 'protection' from the strong physical and often dangerous gameplay.

P.S for my friend Jumbo who likes poker!!
This is like having AA (Arsenal) m8 and the -3/4 offered by the bookies is like there is another ace in the first flop ;) All in please!
