Arsenal vs Newcastle United Timeline & H2H Stats

In some ways, there isn’t really a rivalry between Arsenal and Newcastle United. The two clubs have rarely shared periods of success in which they were going at each other over the biggest prizes in the game. Prior to the advent of the Premier League, for example, Arsenal won the top-flight title ten times and there was no point at which Newcastle were the team trying to stop them from doing so. Equally, the Magpies picked up four First Division titles, but it was sides like Everton and Sunderland that were vying them for top spot. You would be forgiven, therefore, for thinking that it was just generic league games that the two sides played against one another.

In reality, though, there have been some cup final battles between Arsenal and Newcastle United over the years. They first time that they faced one another in a domestic final was in the 1931-1932 season. The Magpies had made it to the final of the FA Cup where they had to face Arsenal, who had won the trophy two years before. Newcastle ran out 2-1 winners, which was their third success in the cup. Fast-forward to 1951-1952 and FA Cup holders Newcastle were again up against the Gunners, this time winning 1-0. Arsenal didn’t beat them in the final of the competition until 1998, winning 2-0, whilst they didn’t play each other in the League Cup final at all in that time.

Periods of Dominance for One Side or the Other

There is occasionally an interesting thing that happens between teams, when one side seems to enjoy a period of dominance over the other. That is mildly ironic in this case, given that their first meeting, which came in the Second Division, ended in a 2-2 draw. Between the end of January 1907, though, and the end of November 1910, they played each other eight times and Arsenal didn’t manage a win. They drew twice, but the rest were defeats, giving Newcastle United the bragging rights. Even though the Gunners would generally be considered to be the more successful side, it was Newcastle that won most often in the early years.

The two teams played out a draw on the 28th of September, 1912, but the Magpies then won ten of the next fourteen, with three draws and only one win for Arsenal in there. In the more modern era, if you can call the 1970s ‘modern’, it was Arsenal’s turn to go on a winning run. Between the start of December 1976 and the 29th of December, 1984, the Gunners won all six games between the two teams. Things were even better after the turn of the millennium. The two sides drew back-to-back games in 2011, but then Arsenal won 18 matches against the Magpies, not drawing any and losing just once. A rivalry that one side has tended to dominate; just not always the same side.
