Newcastle United vs. Arsenal!!!

Last Saturday we went to the Newcastle vs. Arsenal football match with some friends. I don't think we could've asked for more exciting game! (Although it didn't look like it in the first half...)



Arsenal scored at 1', 3', 10', and 26' to take a 4-0 lead into the half. Needless to say, the home crowd was pretty quiet while the Arsenal fans were chanting and cheering non-stop.

However, the second half turned into a different story. Only about 3 minutes into the half, an Arsenal player got a red card and was kicked out. Then Newcastle went on to score at 68' (PK), 75', 83' (PK), and 87' making one of the biggest comebacks ever in the Premier League!!!




Sean had fun with the camera and took TONS of pics!!!

I've been to a few professional games back in the states, and as fun as they've been, they don't come close to the energy/excitement from the crowd at this game (especially in the second half when the home crowd got back into things)!!! It was awesome!!!

Evidence of the post-game celebration...
(Don't worry, not ours... :)
