After the match, Wenger was directly bombarded by journalists from Fleet Street.
"Arsène, in this match, your team experienced an incredible comeback. As the side that was come back against, do you have anything to say?"
Hearing this, Wenger's expression was displeased, and he said with a bad tone:
"Comeback? May I ask if we lost?"
"No! We still ended up with a draw and got 1 point."
"Since we didn't lose, it naturally cannot be called a 'comeback'."
"As for this match where we were leading by 4 goals and were eventually tied, it was simply because certain uncontrollable factors appeared..."
"I will not admit that we didn't play well enough in this match. On the contrary, the fact that we were able to take a 4-goal lead in 30 minutes is proof of our strong ability."
"Only getting one point in the end, the reason for this is not with Arsenal. You should look elsewhere for the answer..."
"Of course, not winning this match is actually a good thing."
"Undeniably, due to the media's portrayal, everyone in our team greatly values the League's winning streak record."
"Now that the winning streak has ended, we can drop the burden and move forward lightly. This is not necessarily bad news."
"The Champions League knockout stage is about to start, and we have to focus on this. In the League, we can only make certain trade-offs."
"Fortunately, we had a large enough advantage in the matches before this season, and our room for error is still large..."
When asked about new signings, Wenger spoke eloquently:
"Jérôme (Boateng) and (Luis) Suarez are both excellent players, and I believe their arrival will make us even stronger."
"Manuel (Neuer)'s performance for Schalke 04 this season is clear for all to see. We look forward to him standing with us next season and challenging for common championship honors!"
When media journalists brought up the topic of Fly's perfect professional career winning percentage being ended, Wenger was slightly taken aback, and finally said something very Versailles-like in a very exaggerated tone.
"Oh my god! So Fly only had his first draw in his life in today's match? My goodness, I really didn't know about this before, it's simply a miracle!"
"Oh, no... thinking about who he is, he is Fly Adams. To get his first draw half a year after starting his professional career, this is indeed below par... I think Fly needs to go back and reflect properly on why he couldn't achieve a perfect season. It's not an impossible thing for him."
When the Fleet Street journalists watched Wenger on the stage "criticizing" Fly, they felt as if they were living in another world.
Brother, do you want to hear what you're saying?
Perfect season?
My god, do you think you're playing FIFA?
Even when playing FIFA, without using cheats, achieving a perfect season is basically impossible...
Fly himself, when interviewed as the Man of the Match, simply said a few things:
"I didn't understand this match, it was too bizarre..."
"Congratulations to Newcastle United, they have finally stopped my professional career winning percentage from being 100%. They will be recorded in football history for achieving this unparalleled feat."
"I don't want to say anything. Not winning this match is just not winning. There's no reason. If you're weak, practice more. We still need to keep improving ourselves."
"Next, we need to prepare for the Champions League knockout stage. I hope we have good luck."
After the interview, Fly went straight back to the locker room, and then returned to London with the team bus.
Taylor saw her man being come back against 4-4 on TV, and guessed that her Hani was probably not in a good mood...
So that night, she wore Fly's favorite sheer dress. The hazy, translucent feeling and long, straight white legs made Fly's index finger twitch, and he quickly forgot his troubles, rolling around with Taylor...

The news of Arsenal being come back against 4-4 by Newcastle United spread throughout Europe the next day. Even the China knew about this astonishing 'miracle' match.
The trending topics on Weibo were directly dominated by this match.
There were countless fans discussing this match on forums and online communities.
[Damn, did I see that right? Arsenal was actually hit with a 4-4 comeback by Newcastle United. I suspect I'm dreaming, can someone wake me up?]
[Upstairs, two slaps will wake you up... It's really like that. I watched the live broadcast the whole time and was completely dumbfounded... It made me unable to sleep at all. I stayed up all night until the next day for work. It's absolutely insane!]
[Fortunately, I'm in college. If I missed the 8 AM class the next day, I missed it. Anyway, my roommate can sign for me, so it doesn't matter if I don't go.]
[Hahahahahahaha, Arsenal deserved it! I said it a long time ago, Arsenal will definitely collapse in the second half of the season. See? This happens right before the Champions League knockout stage. Arsenal definitely has no chance in the Champions League this season, and if they're unlucky, they might even lose the Premier League...]
[Fly is just a soft-footed shrimp. He can concede 4 goals after leading by 4 goals, almost losing. He's truly a professional at disappearing at crucial moments. My Messi would never be reversed after a large lead. Fly is still no match for my Messi...]
[My Ronaldo is the true king of adversity. People like Fly, who can only play well when things are going smoothly, disappear at critical moments of adversity in the game. There's no trace of him. What right does such a soft-footed shrimp have to be compared with my Ronaldo?]
[The Ronaldo and Messi fans upstairs are out of their minds. They didn't even watch the damn game and are just spouting nonsense here. Fly didn't even play in the second half. What does the team being reversed have to do with Fly? Scoring two goals and assisting one, creating three goals in less than 30 minutes, isn't that enough?]
[The other Arsenal players are too bad. My brother can't carry them... This is truly a CBA teammate situation. If my brother was on the field, even if you gave Newcastle United 100 chances, they wouldn't be able to come back once!]
[Manchester United fans are ecstatic, Arsenal has finally slipped up. We have a chance to overtake them, oh yeah...]

Fly got up from his comfortable slumber the next day and browsed various social media platforms.
He was very curious about what kind of discussions yesterday's match would trigger among the fans.
After just a quick scan, he found that his basic support base was still quite solid.
On the internet, basically the vast majority of people did not attribute the responsibility for yesterday's draw to him.
The most criticized people were a few of Arsenal's defenders, as well as Wenger, who substituted Fly out early.
Many people were also criticizing the Football Association and the Premier League, believing that yesterday's match was entirely the result of human intervention.
The so-called "miracle" was just a performance with a deliberate intention.
Without a word, Fly immediately switched to his alt account and liked the comment below.
He would not be like a certain famous NBA figure who argues with people online using his main account, and even said the outrageous remark, "Scarlett, I want to drink your bathwater."
Fly protected his alt account very well. Besides himself and Taylor, no third person knew what his alt account was called.
Just then, Fly browsed the latest football news.
As expected, he saw that familiar face again, the familiar wording, the familiar tactics.
At the pre-match press conference for Manchester United vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers, the Scottish Old Man openly discussed Arsenal being come back against 4-4 by Newcastle United, presenting his own arguments.
"I'm sure you all saw... Arsenal made a fatal mistake yesterday, a mistake that turned their sure 3 points into just 1 point."
"When a team that is leading by 4 goals ultimately fails to win the match, it can only mean that this team does not have the destiny to win the championship."
"Just watch... The point I have repeatedly emphasized before is about to become reality. After this match, Arsenal will completely enter a path of collapse."
"I predict that Arsenal will experience multiple rounds without a win in the upcoming League matches. This gives us an opportunity, and we will seize these opportunities to ultimately achieve the most incredible comeback championship in Premier League history!"
"Something that Newcastle United can do, there is no reason why we Manchester United cannot!"
