da 888casino: Newcastle were well and truly humbled on Sunday against Arsenal.
da dobrowin: Despite being level on points with the Gunners going in to the match, the Magpies were eventually beaten 4-0 as the Emirates outfit took control of the game in the second half.
Whilst they still remain in 12th place, they have scored only 24 goals in 26 games to date.
After the match, there appears to have been an unsavoury incident involving a quartet of players and some Toon fans. Danny Rose, Nabil Bentaleb, Allan Saint-Maximin and Christian Atsu all decided not to travel home by plane after the match, but rather take the train.
They were recognised by supporters, and it then appears that they were abused whilst another took a video of the situation.
That is at least what Daily Mirror reporter Craig Hope said on Twitter.

The club’s supporters are divided over the situation. Some believe the fans had every right to share their thoughts.
But it does seem too far to treat the players with such disrespect and disdain. After all, they are just human beings at the end of the day – although some well-mannered discourse between the fans and the those who wear the shirt wouldn’t go amiss.
Others believe the supporters were in the wrong.
This is a far fairer assessment of the situation. You would hope that they were indeed reflecting on a bad day at the office, and besides, the manager Steve Bruce is likely to tell them just where they went wrong anyway.
