Arsenal cashed their one game in hand into a point

We just managed to get one point out of our "one game in hand".

Everything started well,after Ade banged in our first and the only Gunner's goal in the game just after 3 minutes from the first whistle.

Then,it just quite as same as the game against Villa when our opponent slowly dominated the game and it went until the break.

In second-half,it become worst as Magpies kept the possession and made a lot of dangerous attacks but we still coped with them until in the 60th minute,when Taylor made the equalizer for Newcastle.

Then,Gunners began to take back the possessions,but it's too late to lift the game.

From my point of view,we are trying to conserve our energy and yet winning the game.It's not that we can't beat Magpies,but it costs us some zests to beat them and we need to stay fit for next game and Chelsea's game next so we didn't took out our best.

When I mean the best,I did not mean that Persie and others should play,but our current players that play in this game did not show their best.After the first goal,we slowed down and proceed to defend that goal,just like we did against Aston Villa.When in last weekend's game we didn't concede,but in this time we are not strong enough to defend and with Magpies determination to beat the "EPL giants",we must conceded in latter stage in the game.

When Newcastle equalized,then Gunners tried to lift the game in the last minute.They started to control the game just I said before,but it's too late.

I think we should be relieved that we did not lose this game.
