Frustration, frustration, frustration! At Newcastle, at match officials, and at Arteta’s lack of game-changers
Well, that was a hugely frustrating match. In fact, frustration is my overwhelming emotion after being held to a goalless draw at home by, let’s not forget, a Champion’s League challenging team, in Newcastle.
