In the end, the hosts managed to hold on for a much-needed 1-0 win.

One fan said: "Callum Wilson cannot be given a new contract, it really is time to move on, offers absolutely nothing anymore."
Another tweeted: "2025 Callum Wilson is actually sad to see, he’s as much use as a handbrake on a canoe. We’re playing with 10 here."

Someone else wrote: "Callum Wilson has been a good servant to the club but that should be that. Finished."
A fifth commented: "What does Callum Wilson offer?"
Another fan said: "I know Arsenal have word world-class back four, but that’s why Callum Wilson is no good for us
"Newc had all the chances in the first half and dominated, and he was nowhere to be seen."
