Hmm really?...Fu*k Lyon then. Damn! Had we gotten both, no top EPL team would fancy getting 3points against us. Not when we currently play with a game plan

Facts.. Arsenal would have been title contenders for sure..

But lets keep our fingers crossed.. Williams can play in the middle so can ceballos..

The team is solid and has good backups..

Gabriel has been solid..
This can been seen in the lesser goals conceded and has made Leno look extra good.
Tierney has been good..
Partey is a great midfielder.. Better in the box than all arsenals present midfielders..

So going forward arsenal looks really good and with all big teams dropping points already.. Anything can happen.

JastSiryin:
Honestly, they deserved what they got for their refusal to negotiate. They sure love to use release clauses.

And there's another thing most peeps don't know. We would've probably been able to get two midfielders if they'd agreed a swap deal involving Lucas Torreira that would've saved us some money. But they wanted to play us by using Lucas's preference for Spain against us.

Remember that atleast 2 Italian clubs were interested in paying for Lucas, but all that changed the moment Atletico came knocking, and Lucas only wanted them.

Kudos to Arsenal for making them think we couldn't pay Partey's release clause cuz we were broke. They knew we needed to get players out so they forced us to accept a loan with an option to buy and could've sworn that Partey would be staying too.

But my wonderful Edu wasn't gonna be played. The Atletico board can eat shit and die for all i care They got money didn't they?

I only wish Arsenal had been quick enough to accept those Italian offers even though they didn't meet their valuation. But hey, we're a good club that respects Player's wishes.

We'll get Aourar some other time, maybe someone better sef

Lyon had agreed to sell Aour
An agreement had been reached already, just before the window shut.

His brother who is his agent demanded 30 million agents fee.. Then arsenal called it off..

Its all over Twitter from reputable journalists

The Premier League season has started with a goal-fest.

Sunday's chaos, with Aston Villa scoring seven against Liverpool and Tottenham beating Manchester United 6-1, capped a mind-boggling start to the 2020-21 campaign.

Goals are being scored at the highest rate in the English top flight for 90 years.

There is one obvious difference this year - the absence of fans. Is that the cause of the goal rush? If not, what else could it be? BBC Sport takes a look...

Goals, goals, goals - what the stats say
✓There have been 144 goals in 38 games this season. That's 40 more than after the first 38 games of the 2019-20 campaign.

✓There have been an average of 3.79 goals per game - the highest in an English top flight since the 3.95 goals per game in 1930-31.

✓11 of the 38 games this season have featured at least five goals (29%). That's the highest percentage in a season since 1960-61.

✓On Sunday, Liverpool became the first reigning champion to concede seven goals in a game since Arsenal in 1953.

✓On average there have been 4.05 'big chances' per game this season - the highest average since Opta began recording the statistic.

✓The average number of shots per game has decreased compared to previous seasons but shot conversion rate has increased dramatically to 16.1% from 11% last season.

'A little piece of chaos' - is the absence of fans causing the change?
Speaking on BBC 5 Live's Monday Night Club, journalist Rory Smith suggested the absence of fans in stadiums was a factor in the "strange start to the season".

"It is a little piece of chaos that has been dropped in," he said.

Presenter Mark Chapman said: "I have spoken to cricketers and other athletes this summer [who have competed without crowds] and it is easier for your mind to wander if there is not a crowd to keep your concentration up.

"Alan Shearer and Jermaine Jenas were talking about the adrenaline you get from a crowd. Maybe that adrenaline drops slightly when the crowd isn't there."

One first-team coach at a Premier League club told BBC Sport a lack of fan pressure was "definitely" affecting decision-making.

He said it is taking away the sense of tension players feel around build-up play near their own goal and is also reducing the intensity and demand they feel for aggressive defending.

To help with this, the team in question are going to train more regularly at their stadium, with their more intense 10 v 10 training sessions held there rather than at their training ground.

Carlos Carvalhal, manager of Portuguese side Braga and the former Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea boss, said: "The absence of fans in big clubs with big pressure on them reduces the focus and concentration of players.

"Fans open up your senses, increase the intensity of your muscular reaction. It has a huge influence in the head of players, I would say even 20%.

"The influence of fans of big clubs normally has a clear effect on opponents too as they feel more pressured. Without them it is 11 v 11 with a ball and a ref - everything balances out."

Sports psychologist Michael Caulfield said: "Football is a game based on threat, fear, and that has disappeared with no fans in the stadium.

"Plus, teams like Sheffield United or Crystal Palace, with a loyal set of fans that back them up as they feel lucky to be part of the Premier League, miss the arousal of the fans in the same way Freddie Mercury would miss the audience."

'Awful defending and terrible goalkeeping'
Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton disagreed that the absence of fans explained the number of goals.

"The standard of defending in the Premier League is awful and there is terrible goalkeeping," he said.

"It is not because there isn't a crowd there - that is not the reason. The standard of defending has dropped dramatically.

"There is an argument to say if there was a crowd at Aston Villa and [Liverpool goalkeeper] Adrian, after his first mistake, how much worse could he have been with a crowd there?"

Ex-Manchester City and England defender Micah Richards agreed.

"It is a cop-out," he said. "Even if fans were there, the scores would have been the same. I have been with Man City and it was a same score [6-1 against Manchester United]. There were fans there then."

So what else could it be?
The thoughts of the former players are clear, but is it really a coincidence that Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Leicester and others have forgotten how to defend at the same time?

This season is one like no other with players having little time off in the summer and minimal pre-season training.

"Elite athletes are reacting differently to before the pandemic," Caulfield said.

"Even though the standard of play is very high, there is a genuine mental cognitive fatigue at the highest level despite the lockdown - that was not a relaxing time."

Some were hampered more than others. Manchester United, for example, had only 34 days - and one pre-season friendly - between last season ending and this one beginning.

A lack of preparation and tiredness could be factors, but the opposite may also be true.

Tottenham, who have already played eight matches in all competitions this season, may have found their groove early thanks to more playing time, whereas United are still searching for rhythm, having played only five.

The number of penalties has increased dramatically too, with games including penalties up 22% from last season partly because of new handball laws.

Defenders could also be allowing more openings as they defend tentatively in an attempt to stay clear of the punishment of video assistant referees.

The absence of fans, individual mistakes, tiredness, lack of preparation and VAR are probably all factors.

One thing is certain: it is making the Premier League no less interesting...

Yesterday, it was crooked Atiku that was bursted. Today, it’s Jonathan and his corruit friends. Still, some people want us to return these PDP rogues to power.

Shell and Eni are currently undergoing trial in Italy for their roles in the Malabu scam. Sadly, Jonathan and other Nigerian rogues involved in the scam are roaming the streets freely. If Buhari go after them, they will call it persecution.

You've been on nairaland for ages.. So your an old man.

You've been carrying Jonathan matter for head for a long time.. Your jobless its a pity..

Man was part of the creation that was made good in the beginning, right? Genesis 6:6, suddenly, God regretted that he created man, why? Because the thought of man was continually evil(vs 5), am I right?

The question now is, who put those evil thoughts in human(the good)?

You mentioned fall of man.
Why did God allow man to fall that man got corrupted?


Now, let's assume God said all these things in the beginning but in Isaiah I quoted earlier said, " He created good and bad (peace and evil) He created all of these things." if you believe God is the creator of everything, why didn't you believe He created homosexuality and other forms of social vices?

Who created demons? Who created devil, Satan?

Stop disturbing our peace...

God gave a man gift called" free will"...

Do good for your own good..
Do bad, and you will have to pay..

Thats Gods love.. Do as you please.. But their repercussions

Can you be any more beta?? Dude we are barely a week into "No Simp September," and here you are already simping...smh

You met a girl TWO MONTHS AGO, YOU'RE NOT YET DATING, and already YOU PLANNING TO SETTLE DOWN WITH HER? gosh!!!!!

Your commitment is worth nothing to her because its too cheap. Your love is sewage to her because it's not love it's desperation and loneliness.

That's why she's thinking of her ex. You're too cheap. Committing to a girl so soon, you haven't even slept with and who you're not dating. You're in your feminine energy. You're behaving like the girl in the relationship. The things you're chasing, the way you're acting, is how women act. You're doing the woman's job. That's why she's not feeling you.

If you the guy chases commitment then what must the girl chase? SEX?

you need to get back to your masculine. Stop chasing things that its the woman's job to chase. Chase sex. Let her ask for a relationship. Not you. Urgggh.

Very very foolish opinion that will lead many people to pits they cant return from..

Sleeping with a girl is a landmark to marry?

Is life and marriage sex? Dumbo theres more to life than physical sensation.. Not that someone controlled by animalistic instinct will understand.

People fall in love at first sight snd have been happier ever faster.. Keeping bleeping around till you reach hiv busstop...

Whats a relationship but a speech and agreement? The two parties, have feelings for each other.. What other stupidity are you saying?..,, Olodo go and ask how many men are married and their wife told them their thinking about it, when he proposed..

You wanted to sound wise and woke.. But came outside ignorant snd dumb.. Its unfortunate you'll mislead so many minds.

DICO111:
Hello Fam, good morning to you all.

I don't know if others experience this too or I'm alone on this one, most times when I sleep and dream, I wake in the morning without remembering the very important events or details of the dream.

But today, I had a dream where I was gathering snails and I woke up this morning remembering every detail of it plus feeling a little bit frightened and disturbed. I do not know what it means to be picking snails in the dream and why I woke up feeling disturbed hence the reason why I will like anyone with a proper interpretation of what it means to tell me because I think I need help here to decode this dream. (Mods to Fp please) thanks to everyone.

God speaks to us through dreams at times..
But even the devils has access to our dreams and deceive us via that.. So its not dependable..

The most dependable voice or direction of God is the Bible.. (new testament side). Dont depend on your dream

owo8184:
I am a young married man with 2 kids. The marriage is 6yrs now. Due to the situation of the country, we’ve not been staying together. I hustle in a University environment in one of the states in Southwest while she works as a freelance for some organizations in Lagos.

I normally come home (Lagos) on monthly basis. But during this lockdown, I have been in Lagos with my family.

Prior to our marriage, there is this guy she met when we had some misunderstanding. They started a date but later called it off when we settled. She didn’t give me the details but based on what I read on her phone back then, I knew they made out together. The said guy is now in Port Harcourt but I am aware he normally comes to Lagos.

Just today, I heard my wife giving someone a description of where they will meet somewhere in Agege (where she uses as her office). I was curious to know the person. I didn’t ask her because she would find a story to cover up. I found a way to check her phone and saw that her ex - the said guy was the one who called. May I say that we have fought over this guy several times even before and after our marriage. She won’t let this guy be in her past. She’s either calling the guy or the guy is calling her. This time, I chose not to raise my voice but monitor her closely. She left home for work today. I may not be able to give details but every surrounding clue indicates that my wife has a date today. She returned home and I found a way to check her whatsapp but alas she has deleted her chats with the guy.

Just this night again, she received a call from another man asking her when she would come to his office. She once told me that the man was asking her out. In all these, I want to believe my wife is up to something. Infidelity is the last I would accept in this marriage.

Should I confront her with all these observations? Please, I am confused.

Go on aliexpress...

Get a tracking /security /recording devices.. So many of them to choose, get the one most suited for you and use it.. And catch her red handed, before you know the next step..

This life no balance, you ran away from fine girl, thinking you'd be free only to enter this one..

I can relate small.. I wanted to marry this fine, religious, girl from a good family (deeper life) way back..(hoping id get a God fearing prayer warrior to raise a family)..

Long story short, it didn't work.. I met her later years.. we talked and became friends etc.. She confessed that she node even pray like that.. The one am eyeing now, is a gym girl etc.. (no resemble church person) . But some one told me she be prayer warriors

Instead of the mumu to advocate for a good business ground locally.. Hes begging another nation to rescind its policy.. Spits..

How about begging buhari to make Nigeria good for business? If ghana wasnt soo sweet what will foreigners be doing there? Spits again.

dangerousdaddy:
Good evening people. Please don't mind my English. My post is actually out of pains and frustration and i may not type with the correct words.

I'm a 31 years old guy. I'm actually very bad with spending because when i have money, whoever asks from me gets. I am under alot of pressure lately especially from those around me. I am the 1st child of my parents and have so many responsibilities.

I got my girlfriend pregnant and she moved in with me. My parents were never there for me so i vowed i was going to be there for my kids. Hence i do all i can to make sure my daughter and her mum are OK.

The girl in question is a torn in my flesh. Totally different from when we were dating without a child. Nowadays, as soon as i get my salary, she wants to buy this, she wants to buy that even though she knows i receive less than a 100k and i have multiple loans i am paying back because we moved out of our old apartment due to space constraints especially after she delivered.

Whenever i don't have money, there is never a happy moment in my home. But if i come home and bring money, we become very good friends. She wants to live a good life which is not wrong but I feel when she knows how i am managing, she ought to understand and bear with me.

The last straw that broke the camel's back was, i was yet to be paid, i had 700 with me. I gave her to make some food because we had the basic food stuff in the house.... Rice, beans, ogbono, spaghetti, garri, Egusi.... Palm oil. So basically all she had to buy was fish or something to put inside the food.

I came home after a hard day at work and met an empty kitchen. When I asked for my food, she asked me what i expected her to cook with 700 naira. I got so mad and left the house but since it was late (it was close to midnight), i decided to come back. In my anger, i started asking her why she's treating me badly. And the next thing is, she called her mum to say I'm fighting with her and that i pushed her to the ground. Her mum replied and said that if anything happens to her daughter, she would hold me responsible. That she didn't give me a wife......

Now I feel i should just end everything and let's go our separate ways before it becomes a case of domestic violence. I never want to see my child grow up to see me fighting with her mum always and being unhappy. I believe a child that grows up in an unhappy home is always at a disadvantage. Please help me guys. I am in pains.

I hope this makes front page

Shes taking advantage of the fact that you don't want a broken home.. Some one said give her time and tell her to change.. No, everything you tell her, she will use to manipulate you..

Plan on what to do secretly..
Shes not your wife... (the lie part to her mum can be very painful).

Its too early to be suffering all this.. Kick her out, if need be.

You made a mistake from the onset, why fornicate? Now your torn between your daughter and peace of mind... You made the error and are suffering the consequences... Non married men, better learn from this..
