Red Mist On The Tyne Hampers Arsenals Chance To Steal A March
Newcastle and Arsenal shared the spoils on the opening day of the season and Arsenal have been pushed out to 12/1 to win the Premier League with William Hill. In a fiery affair, there was one red card for Arsenal and could have been another with Joey Barton involved in both incidents. Hills offer 6/5 that Arsenal receive between one and three red cards this season and 7/4 that they get four or five. Joey Barton on the other hand is odds on, at 4/6 to receive no red cards this season and is 5/6 to still be at Newcastle at the end of the summer transfer window and 5/6 that he is not. An uninspiring draw will not have improved Arsenal fans dim view on Arsene Wengers transfer policy and he is 5/2 to have left his job by the final day of this season.
Arsenes men lost their heads once again at St James Park and came away with a draw, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. While not a disastrous result, the craft of Fabregas and Nasri was sorely missed and Wenger may have to splash the cash quite soon.
Elsewhere, Liverpools odds of 10/1 were eased to 12/1 following a home draw against Sunderland.
