Newcastle boss claims Arsenal have advantage ahead of friendly
Eddie Howe has claimed Arsenal will have the advantage in their pre-season game against Newcastle United on Sunday, with his side looking fatigued. Photo by JUSTIN TALLIS/AFP via Getty Images After kicking off pre-season with a behind-closed-doors win over Watford last weekend and a public friendly victory over AC Milan on Wednesday, Arsenal are set to face their first Premier League opponent in Newcastle United on Sunday. Speaking ahead of that game, Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has suggested the Gunners have the upper hand. 'There is a bit of fatigue in the training today,' Howe told his press conference. 'I think the players are still adjusting. A definite advantage to Arsenal because they have been here longer. It is a pre-season game and we will be looking to get bits from it.' Photo byLike Arsenal, Newcastle have already played a couple of pre-season fixtures. Howe's side thrashed Carlisle United 4-0 on July 12th, a week before Arsenal even played their first match, and they subsequently lost 4-0 to a Celtic side containing Auston Trusty and Kieran Tierney last weekend. There's really no reason why Newcastle would be less prepared for a match, it's just perhaps a question of whether Arsenal will have adapted better to the Singapore heat. The Carlisle match was at the Newcastle's training ground, and the Celtic game was at Celtic Park. Unlike Arsenal, Howe's side are yet to play a match in Asia this summer. Photo byNewcastle will also be without star striker Alexander Isak for the game, with the centre-forward officially unavailable due to a thigh injury. It's an open secret that the player has also asked to leave the club this summer. Sunday's game is only a friendly, with the two teams playing for pride but primarily to build fitness. If Howe is right to be so pessimistic about his team, it's a shame there won't be three points at stake.

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. On Thursday, a video of Augusta National quickly went viral across social media. It captured floodwaters tearing through the historic golf course where Rory McIlroy broke his 11-year curse by winning the Masters in April. The footage showed water surging through Amen Corner, destroying the legendary stretch between the 11th and 13th holes. Newly released video shows Augusta National being overwhelmed by floodwaters. (Image Credits: Screenshot @GOLF_com/X) Newly released video shows Augusta National being overwhelmed by floodwaters. (Image Credits: Screenshot @GOLF_com/X) Twitter Initially, many speculated the clip to be linked with Hurricane Helene that devastated the Southeastern U.S. last year and Augusta National was among the many landmarks reportedly impacted. But reported, citing a source close to Augusta National, that the viral video wasn't from Hurricane Helene's aftermath. Instead, it was filmed earlier this summer, during intense rainfall. Per the report, during that time, Amen Corner was under construction as part of Augusta's offseason routine upgrades. The 92-year-old course traditionally closes in May, after the Masters, and doesn't reopen until the second Monday of October. Construction machinery and torn-up ground visible in the video support this timeline. A source close to Augusta National confirmed to @JoshSens that this floodwater at Augusta National is from a recent storm and not from Hurricane Helene last year. At the time of the flood, the source said, Amen Corner was under construction; off-season upgrades are common at the… — (@GOLF_com) July 25, 2025 The insider revealed to that the footage was captured by a subcontractor who has since been dismissed for leaking the visuals. "Any impact is really just aesthetic," the source said, as captioned in their X post. "Nothing they can't handle." Despite the striking visuals of Rae's Creek overflowing, water rushing from the 12th green toward the 11th fairway, the club reportedly has no permanent structural damage. Considering Augusta National's reputation for rapid recovery, this was no shock. After Hurricane Helene, Chairman Fred Ridley confirmed that the course had "a lot of damage", but they "were able to get that (playing surfaces) back in shape" in time for this year's Masters. Augusta National has a history with floods According to the city's official website, "Augusta has a history of disastrous floods, which led to the construction of the levee in the downtown area. Due to the topography of the city, certain areas are prone to flood-related problems." The region's topography makes certain areas, especially near Rae's Creek, prone to flooding. Just this past Sunday, flash-flood warnings were issued following heavy rainfall, further stressing the area's aging storm drain infrastructure. Local station WRDW-TV reported that clogged and deteriorating drains have worsened recent flooding, particularly along Raes Creek. The city is currently reviewing long-term solutions to mitigate future risks. According to post on X, Augusta National has not responded to multiple media inquiries about the timing or impact of the flood. But the club's silence hasn't stopped fans from speculating.
