Read our privacy policy Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta feels it is “inevitable” bitter memories of last season’s controversial Premier League loss at Newcastle will come flooding back when his side return to St James’ Park. Arteta was incensed by the decision to allow Gordon’s effort to stand, branding it “embarrassing” and “an absolute disgrace”, while his team ultimately missed out on the title to Manchester City by two points. “You get to a stadium and you start to have things that are familiar and you relate that particular moment or that smell or the visual with something that happened to you or the team there, that’s inevitable.” VAR checks of Gordon’s scrappy 64th-minute finish last November lasted more than four minutes before the 1-0 defeat halted Arsenal’s unbeaten start to the season at 10 games. When you go to these grounds, you know the intensity, you know the levels of duels you are going to be approaching Mikel Arteta “Obviously it changes certain things in terms of the energy that the crowd provides but you have to be so good at that and I think the team has evolved a lot on that.
