The bad news for Arsenal FC is, obviously, the tough loss they suffered this past weekend at St. James Park. The good news is that they can very quickly invert the mood and the vibe, as the next fixture is nearly here already. Yes, Newcastle United, in the Premier League, is the past. Inter Milan in the Champions League, is the now.
It’s another trip to a very hostile environment against a really tough side, but it’s also an opportunity to get back to winning ways.
