Tomorrow's game will be the beginning of a series of three very difficult games. After the last game at the Stadium of Light everyone is really excited, but we should forget what happened there and concentrate on the games following. Arsenal will grab any opportunity to leave St. James Park with a positive result and that is why we should be extra careful. They are one of these teams that they do not forgive your mistakes and as they need the 3 points as much as we need them they will try to do anything to win them. I have stated many times in the past, that I believe they are the best team in the Premiership, even better than Manchester United. I have seen both of them playing many times and faced both of them as well. As far as I am concerned Arsenal is a better team. We may have won them at London but that does not really say anything. They can as easily come at Newcastle and win us. We are in great shape and although Bellamy's absence is a great blow for us I believe we can still manage to win them and maintain our league position.
