Fosse Boy Posted 6 February 2011 Posted 6 February 2011 News from France... French news wire Foot365 are suggesting that Arsenal’s 4-4 draw with Newcastle is under investigation from Interpol, after ‘suspicious money transfers’ took place during Saturday’s astonishing game. Arsenal scored four goals in 26 minutes at St James’ Park before a second half comeback from Alan Pardew’s side left many Gooners wondering how losing a four goal lead could be possible. Foot365 claims that Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky will be included in the investigation, after being involved in two of Newcastle’s goals. “The crazy game between Newcastle and Arsenal on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League (4-4) has not finished talking. Today, it would even turn Interpol, to look closely at this meeting that saw the Magpies to join the Gunners, who led 4-0 after 26 minutes though gambling” “Strong prevailing climate of suspicion around the game, which would have been on the sidelines of sports content with strange movements of money. Tomas Rosicky, the Czech midfielder for Arsenal came late in the game and led to two goals for Newcastle, would be included in the viewfinder of Interpol,” Foot365′s article states.
Webbo Posted 6 February 2011 Posted 6 February 2011 Nothing's impossible but I find it hard to believe.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 6 February 2011 Posted 6 February 2011 Could be some 'antics' for Interpol to investigate.

Finchy Posted 6 February 2011 Posted 6 February 2011 Could be some 'antics' for Interpol to investigate. Coming back from 4-0 down was a mammoth achievement and I have to say Szczesny had some pretty slow hands for a couple of the goals, something's not right here.
ajthefox Posted 6 February 2011 Posted 6 February 2011 As painful as it is to recall it, Wolves once beat us 4-3 after being 3-0 down you know, and I don't remember thinking "oh no that must have been a fix, we can't possibly have been shit enough to throw it away" when that happened.

Thing is if it was rigged, no one will probably be punished. Not even jail. Even if you're some sort of public pervert these days, there's no sentence. It really does get me all fired up.
Jaspa Posted 6 February 2011 Posted 6 February 2011 Tbh watching the highlights last night this ran through my head. But i bet nothing will come of it even if evidence is found, too much money is in it.
Guest ttfn Posted 6 February 2011 Posted 6 February 2011 I can't believe nobody has mentioned Dowd in all of this.

Even if you're some sort of public pervert these days, there's no sentence. It really does get me all fired up. Because of the scale of the result, questions were always going to be asked but ultimately Interpol need to keep their grubby hands away, it was just a great Newcastle performance, what do you think?
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 6 February 2011 Posted 6 February 2011 I just think they got done, pace is the trick Newcastle had up their sleeve. Once they got going they were like a wrecking ball.
cambridgefox Posted 6 February 2011 Posted 6 February 2011 The last newcastle goal was a corker,99 times out of a hundred that shot would have gone over.that was no fix.move on.
Finchy Posted 6 February 2011 Posted 6 February 2011 Yeah I know this girl, Stella, huge Newcastle fan. Stella was a diver and she was always down, but then she saw the result and it cheered her up a bit.
Corky Posted 6 February 2011 Posted 6 February 2011 I don't think there was anything untoward going on, just an incredible comeback/ collapse depending on how you view it.
Benji Posted 6 February 2011 Posted 6 February 2011 To be fair a lot of players would need to be in on it for a team to let 4 goals in and then score 4
StanSP Posted 6 February 2011 Posted 6 February 2011 I don't think there was anything untoward going on, just an incredible comeback/ collapse depending on how you view it. That's how I see it too. And it just so happened to be coincidence that it also came on day of 29 other goals.
Guest BlueBrett Posted 6 February 2011 Posted 6 February 2011 These guys get paid tens of thousands each week. There would have to be some seriously big bets flying around for it to be worth their while.
MikeyT Posted 6 February 2011 Posted 6 February 2011 The last newcastle goal was a corker,99 times out of a hundred that shot would have gone over.that was no fix.move on. Agreed.
NorthernFox Posted 6 February 2011 Posted 6 February 2011 I was at the game, Arsenal crumbled, linesman helped for the third, very dodgy pen, but to balance out Best was onside for disallowed goal. Seen nothing like it since the City Brentford league cup tie back in 1982.
Stevosevic Posted 6 February 2011 Posted 6 February 2011 Too many players would have had to be in on it for this to happen. Nonsense story if you ask me.
Edmund Posted 7 February 2011 Posted 7 February 2011 Bad refereeing decisions and being down to ten men was the cause. Bet it's just sour grapes from in play betters who would've lost shit loads of money on that game.
Finnegan Posted 7 February 2011 Posted 7 February 2011 Certainly was nothing to do with Rosicky. He had a bit of a shit game but one of his "penalties" was a joke. What the ref gave it for is anyone's guess, he raised his arm a little but a push? Come on.
ousefox Posted 7 February 2011 Posted 7 February 2011 how could anybody seriously think that was a fix?!
samjohnson Posted 7 February 2011 Posted 7 February 2011 So every entertaining game with an amazing scoreline and comeback is now to be investigated by Interpol... Somethings not quite right here...
