Any body talking about how it's wrong to sack Emery have forgotten how bad we really are. Like I said earlier, sacking him isn't wrong, but maybe replacing him with Arteta. It's just like man u fans asking why they sacked mourinho cos of Ole failings.

Seems we've forgotten how Emery was for us, lemme do a little refresher

1... Emery lost the dressing room. Any coach, no matter how good, who loses his dressing room deserves the sack. No two ways about it

2... Who has forgotten Emery countless formations? Today we'll do 3133, tomorrow 3313. Next week 4231, then the next 4312. The players are always confused and he also seem confused too.

3... Who can forget the shots we receive per match? Almost 15+ averagely, if not for the heroics of Leno then, na basket we for dey carry goals weekly.

4.. Against Southampton, lacazette scored the equalizer and made facial expression as if he regretted scoring. Worst part is nobody even met to celebrate with him. That tells you the unhappiness in the camp.
Our grinding machine nko?

Abeg, I detested the last days of Emery era and nobody can convince me otherwise that the board made a wrong decision to sack him. His found his level, kudos to him

You hit the nail on the head with the bold part of your post. Gosh! It irks me to even think about how leno keeps tons and tons of shots out and yet we still lose scandalously most times because he keeps facing barrage of shots.

At a time we don't even know the formation we play as a team. Any match against Loserpool, or man city was sure going to end with Leno making plenty saves and we still end up conceeeding 3 to 5 goals.

A coach that clearly lost his dressing room and can't command the respect of his players ; some people now want to come here and launder his image....Lailai! He was a failure at Arsenal and that's that! No cap!

Me wey no dey miss Arsenal matches; even when I dey do professional exam I dey create time watch Arsenal....Emery made me start missing some matches delibrately because I already know the possible outcome.

SodO9:
Ebening was terrible
Poor man management, he knows his kind of players in arsenal yet he forced them to play stupid football
Why didn't he sell the useless ones, I still insist the more xhaka remain in that team the more their woes continue.
Ebening is very good with his country's mid table clubs because they will respect and play their all not arsenal with some stupid players that have ego.
I will blame ebening today, tomorrow and forever just the way I still blame wengay, you see that Arteta na Ogun go kill all those running our club

I just look all the funny comments of people trying to suggest we should've been more patient with "Good Ebening"....make I no just talk.

I have come to realize that time deems people's memory especially when it comes to football matters and they fail to see things for what they are immediately they see that a decision made to correct an anomaly didn't bring out the desired result.

"Good Ebening" was the same man who would start a faltering Willock against them Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Henderson etc in midfield and lose with cricket scores not just once....He was busy losing to dem Crystal palace starting moda4cking Mustafi, etc. He even played in the Yorupa final and lost to Sarri who has never won a major trophy before in his life.

Now he's won against a clueless Ole and I'm supposed to agree "Good Ebening" should've been given more time at the Emirates?


One thing is clear, "Good Ebening has shown himself to be a coach who is suited for winning cup competitions and not 38 games league over the years. I mean he took a 7th placed villareal in the LA Liga to win Yorupa.....He's no different from "the rookie" Arteta who took 8th placed Arsenal to win the FA cup last season.

Arteta may not be the best coach to bank on when u want to win or get highly placed in a 38 match league but so is "Good Ebening" . Anybody wey wan vex, make dem vex but sacking "Good Ebening" at the time they did was right and I will support it over and over again. Maybe getting a rookie like Arteta to replace him wasn't the right decision but people coming on here to suggest Good ebening would've made much difference if given more time is nonesense. We were actually embarrassed in the only final he took us to

Ibime:
What shall it profit a man to get disgraced out of UCL, be dangled the carrot of hope in Yoruba league only to lose the final on the 11th penalty.

E pain.

They lost and dropped out of a champions league group that had RB Leipzig, Psg and Istanbul Bashiru.....only to lose out to Good Ebening in the Yorupa cup final.

How many times do they need to be told they are manure?

In the words of the great igodo migodo ; " It is a pitiable dismal pismal...it is sardonically lugubrious alàgbà Penandez is yet to win even a spoon for two years running now "

Does anyone have the perfect Singapore noodles recipe? I have a pack of rice vermicelli that has been sitting in my kitchen cabinet for 4 months now and counting ; I want to make Singapore noodles but I don't want to mess it up.

There's this Chinese restaurant I do eat their Singapore noodles, I've been tempted more than once to ask them for the recipe but I know they won't tell me.

Anybody that has tried Singapore noodles before should share the recipe biko

Fkhalifa:
Nuno has been my preferred coach when Emery left.
Not these youth corpers

Arteta na real youth corper.

I was never a fan of his appointment but as a true fan of the club I supported him when he was appointed. He impressed me with his win against loserpool, city and clinching the FA cup last season. I thought he would build on that and at least make us enjoy good football once again but it seems we expected too much from him.

It looked more like he over achieved by doing the aforementioned feats and he can't reach that peak again. His nonsense match day selection week after weeks is too bitter to stomach. His trust in players who don't even trust themselves makes it even worse. His defensive approach to all games is sickening.

If he keeps doing that rubbish with fans likely to be back in the stadium next season I'm sure he will get 2hat is coming to him

Akposy:
Huncle, host me na. Lemme chow half the pizza.

Have you guys tasted Quinche? That's the king abi senior brother to pizza. Prestonn, have you?

Never heard of quinche before now, what does it look/taste like?

Penn pasta x Goat meat stew

Harry is definitely going to either city or Chelsea. I think it depends on the shade of blue u see in this pishure

No stress : Pizza Sunday

Are we going to pretend Torreira didn't just win a medal yesterday?

I also heard Partey might be entitled to a medal cos he played few games for athletico this season.

Na wa o

timbros:
Lol.

And they are about to sign Aguero. I mean, what's the difference between Suarez and Aguero? Both are similar players. It doesn't make sense.

Whoever is running Barca presently doesn't have the interest of the club/fans at heart at all, they keep making one terrible decision after another one. They spent the whole of last transfer window doing everything to make messi stay, didn't focus on strengthening their aging squad and all they have to show for their recent acquisition in the transfer market is an overloated wage list.

Lana1:
Diego Somebody ni

Autocorect dey do pass itself

No matter what u are going tru, just remember Barca sold Suarez and kept Braithwaite .

If that one no motivate u I no know wetin fit motivate I again o

Diego someone about to win his second là Liga trophy

Spy360:
Pepe actually took the entire defense in his pocket to score the 3rd goal. It's easy to criticize sha

E be like say na highlight u watch. If u watched the full match u would've seen how pitiful Pepe looked getting tons and tons of passes on the right wing but failing to get past Mitchell. Most of the times he either forgets the ball behind him or while trying to "drimble" that one will just "shook" leg in the middle of his legs and get the ball easily.

Just one time Saka and Tierney were able to combine on the left hand side they produced the first goal which pepe did a nice tap-in. As for the 3rd goal....anybody who watched the match would know the palace players were weakened by that Martinelli goal because they knew they already lost. They simply gave up and nothing more. Martineli and Odegard actually won us that match and not some nonsense flop called Pepe.

Havertz10:
which common goal unites Nigerians?

I didn't say Nigerians in general, I said common goal that unites the officers.

I know tribalism, religious sentiments etc have divided us right from independence but somehow coup plotters have always found a common ground to carry out putsch in the past. It could be the desire to stop corruption that has ravaged the once revered military as an institution, it could be the need to restore peace and order all over the country, it could be the need to deal with corrupt politicians, it could even be the need to curb favoritism and nepotism that has marred appointment of principal officers in the army etc.

One thing I know is for a coup to happen the plotters will need to have one common goal

SodO9:
You just explained why coup won't again
These people are the majority in the military, if south and west decide to form partnership (another dead end) who will attain the role of leadership when the coup is achieved

Coup d'etat always looks it won't work till the last minute. They just need some young and determined officers who are united by a common goal and the rest will be sorted. Normally one of the first thing they will do is neutralize the most senior officers. (I hope that is not what has already begun). Imagine 4 generals died in a military plane crash in one day. That doesn't appear normal to me o

CaptainZubi:
The last junior officer to stage a coup was major Gideon orkar and he failed woefully. It's not that easy for a junior officer to stage a coup, not in today's Nigerian army. But like I'll keep saying, a military administration is what this country needs at the moment. Although not many people will buy that idea. We need am abeg, something similar to the KAI of idiagbon and baba buhari. Everywhere is just lawless , insecurity is very high, kidnapping is now a business.. See what happened at oshodi on Thursday when soldiers went Gaga . A danfo driver and his conductor had a disagreement with a soldier who was also a passenger on their way from oshodi to ikorodu. You know the way these oshodi boys behave like they own Lagos State . They told the soldier they were going to teach him a bitter lesson. When they got to their destination, everybody got down and they prevented the soldier guy from going down. They drove off and went to kill him. His body was found two days later and the news got to his base at ikeja.. what gave them that kind of confidence.. oh I remember it's oshodi boys now . . I can't count the number of times I've been robbed back in those days. Even now you dare not waka anyhow from 9PM till 6AM in oshodi , you'll be robbed and they can do anything to dispose you off your valuables even if it means stabbing you to death.. . Omo this country is getting scarier mehn.... The military needs to take full power and not under command of any GCFR

The reason why I think a military coup might be in the offing is the fact that shortly before buratai left he was kind of reading the military boys riot act and talking about a rumored coup. He advised them to shun advances from politicians going about discussing possibilities of a military coup with them.

Like Roland17 said there are so many disgruntled officers in the Nigerian army right now. Not many of them are cool with the way this Boko Haram war is being prosecuted with their boss being sent to the slaughter ground almost bare handed....while the senior officers divert most of the yearly defence budget .

Yes u are right about the country needing a really strong hand at this moment especially when u think about how security challenge has been a major issue. Places like Ikorodu, Oshodi, Eko bridge, Lekki-Epe expressway, Ijebu-ode by pass, Lagos-Benin expressway etc are top crime zone that are dreaded right now. The morale of all security outfits are at all time low leaving room for men of the underworld to harrass, Rob, kidnap and sometimes kill people while security agents seem useless.

Anybody who still thinks this present government can still bounce back and save the nation is a BIG FOOOOOOL

SodO9:
What is dead can never die
As for the bolded, I doubt something like that can happen again

I used to think so too, but recent happenings have made me have a rethink. The junior officers have the short end of the Stick while the senior officers have been profiting from the never ending so called war against Terror.

It just takes the just takes the the cry of the masses ( which will surely happen if the proposed subsidy removal is carried out at this critical period) and the determination of some idealist junior officers and boom! There u have it.

We already have cases of deserting officers, some officers speaking on camera against being under equipped and also cases of some officers refusing orders like shooting at unarmed civilians. U think everybody in the army is cool with th massacre of Shittes right from the days of buratai?

CaptainZubi:
Omo this COAS death is really shocking o. And I bin like the guy mehn most especially his accent. Baba speaks well. It takes just a second to die but we humans live like immortals. This life sha

It's funny how the guy barefaced told the house of assembly members to either to ask his predecessor about arms purchase or go 4ck themselves and he turns up dead in a military plane crash less than 2 months after.

His death is definitely going to lower the morale of the troops already spread thin all over the country either fighting insurgency and banditry in ghe north or combating UGM in the east.


I just hope the junior officers won't stage a military coup and take control of this country once and for all.

SodO9:
That bissouma is a must buy, I watched that guy against city Omo player they sha.
I won't mind donating xhaka, elneny and willock for only him, that sander berge I no understand why we they follow the guy.
I haven't watch him though

Yeah the guy is good.......I doubt Arsenal will be willing to drop the needed cash to cop him

SodO9:
A serious club should be looking out for serious replacement and Nuno have this Simone kinda of philosophy but I think top manager is what we need.
Allegri, Rodgers, simone

The club is not showing any signs of shopping for Arteta's replacement. I hope they sha put money out to buy player.

SodO9:
Boss my brother read me the news this morning I just laughed
That guy na agbako player, but does that mean boss kola is coming back

There is no Ozil for Boss Kola to do bodygaurd again, So I don't think he should be coming back o. We are lookfing for ways to offload the remaining waste pipes make he no come back come stress us o.

Roland17:
Make I no kukuma talk..

I just dey thank God say mustafi turned down the deal Arteta offered him o.

In order news I just read Nuno Espirito Santo is leaving Wolves by mutual consent. Do u think Arsenal should not be shopping for Arteta's replacement by now?

That awkward moment it dawns on you that Kolasinac is still an Arsenal

Sod09 my guy how far ? I heard ur MCM has been released by Schalke 04 . Imagine a 29 year old player being released just 6 months after he was signed. It's not like he's injured o.....

Honestly we really need to question Arteta's judgment of players as a coach, I mean just last year he felt Mustafi was good enough and even offered Mustafi a new deal which he turned down.

Jodera:
Lol... I watched the game. Pepe is just proving to be scam bar the goals. Can't believe he can hardly beat his man. Mehn!!

Aside the win, the only other positive about this match is the jersey.
Mehn, that Jersey is dope gan

I'm buying the jersey by the time it's here in Nigeria, I believe it should be much available.by July.

Na the player grade I go buy sef, I love it already

Anybody who didn't watch the match but saw the score sheet with Pepe's name appearing twice won't really understand the nonsense he played all tru the match bar those two goals...

Pepe is a useless player. He scored one goal and caused our opponents equalizing goal

SodO9:
Ogun kee this ref
These guys should have seen 2 red

I found it ridiculous that Shclupp escaped that red card in the 4th minute. These epl refs are just too inconsistent

Saka and Tierney combo to give that delicious pass was classy....
