The way mourinho dey cashout, one day we will wake and hear he has bought one big European team with the cashout he's accumulated over the years

Mourinho to Pellegrini Malaga coach in 2012
As reported by ESPN, Mourinho had sneered “second place is just the first loser,” and, “If Madrid were to fire me, I wouldn’t go to Malaga. I’d go to a top-level team in Italy or England.”

I hate that guy with passion

The breaker of hands...

Well, I love his passion and drive, he's a kind of rugged warrior everyone wants in his team. Even when his head touch and he collects red card, u can still see the passion in him

BlueMann:
• Meanwhile team news is as expected, Kovacic misses out but Rudiger can play with a mask.

• Asides the long term absentees for Madrid (Carvajal and Vasquez), Varane will also miss out. But Ferland Mendy and Fede Valverde are back. Marcelo will also be in the squad.

• Hearing that Ramos WILL start.

Sergio Ramoni Don touchdown London already

Spy360:
You try but leave Chambers and Xhaka out of this. They did not choose themselves to play the positions they played. As for Ceballos, he better starting looking for another club for loan because even his club won't want him back.

Arteta can be blamed for choosing the players he thought would perform but the players can't be blamed for not performing? Are u serious at all ?

Is it Arteta that will teach Chambers how to control the ball and not lose it or did he tell chambers not to make a run at the opponents defenders with we are on the offensive like a decent RB is meant to do ? Well , for years I’ve never rated Chambers for anything either at RB ,CB , DM or any other role some people claim he’s good at, so I’m not surprised he remains piss poor.

Abeg make better person buy the club make we ship those fraudulent players off our books

I used to think the problem we have at arsenal is majorly personnel/player related, however yesterday's match made it more clearer that managerial problem is also a major reason for the uninspiring season we've endured thus far.

I mean if the coach had innocently started a player like Chambers in RB based let's say the good showing he had in training, I expected him to have taken actions to have corrected such innocent mistake immediately he saw the disaster class he was serving. Chambers practically grounded our right hand, belabored Saka with so much defensive duties and rarely controlled the ball when he's passed to. I expected him to have been subbed off for Cedric latest by half time, but I was alarmed seeing him continue the match after the break.

having static and rigid players like Chambers and Xhaka playing at RB and LB respectively hampered severely on our attacking play so so much. Chambers was not interested in making those dashing runs behind an opposition player on the offensive, he will rather spam a stupid cross from a spot he's rooted as if he's been instructed not to move an inch by trigger happy Nigerian policeman . Xhaka on the other hand just keeps confirming he's a terrible player when it comes to defensive duties; his clumsiness in dishing out tackles was one of the reasons we conceded the first goal yesterday. He also almost gave out a goal while he was playing his usual across-the-field blind passes he normally does during the time of Mr Good Ebening at the emirates. I don't know maybe its cos Good ebening is sitted in the stadium and baba wan use the useless pass reminisce

Well, a more no-nonsense coach wouldve taken off Ceballos off seeing how he will losing the ball carelessly in the middle and committing fouls like its nobody's business. But then we are stuck with Arteta and we only to hope he can be more firm and take off non-performing players when need be before things go bad like it did yesterday.

As for the second league, I'm not keeping my hopes but seeing how good ebening and his boys gave us free away goal , let's just hope Arteta will get his tactics right and take a pound of flesh.

Lastly, I sincerely hope that spotify guy can convince the current owners to sell and let us have our own sugar daddy like other traditional top 6 teams. Its been long overdue ; make somebody sef use money spoil us buy all the players we dey dream of....lets be able to spend the budget of Lesotho and Trinidad & Tobago on new signing

Then sheikh Gumi, the fellow terrorists that followed him to the Bush and those that took their pictures should be jailed.

But I forgot ; they are hausa/Fulani and are allowed to frolic with their gun welding co-terrorists

[color=royalblue]It's not about being better. It's about Value


I wonder why everyone is looking towards Arsenal. Tottenham, to me should not even be there.[/color]

Most of them are speaking from the angle of normal trolling/banters always thrown at Arsenal as a result of recent poor performance. They refuse to be open minded and see that it is majorly about value and value in this case is the reach a team like Arsenal has in places like Africa and Asia.

Arsenal has so many fans scattered all over the world that will pay to see them play. We cant say the same about Tottenham.

I've read concerns of fans as per the proposed ( about to be implemented) ESL and I think most Arsenal fans and some other fans of other clubs are getting some things wrong.

1. There's a line of thought from our fans and fans of other clubs (especially those who troll us with our poor form in recent years) that Arsenal will always lose scandalously in the ESL because they will be playing against supposed big teams like Juventus, Barca , Madrid etc.
Well, personally I don’t agree with this line of thought because the Arsenal you know today will not be the Arsenal you will see in the ESL, I mean with the money projected to be available to all teams in the ESL we won’t be seeing an Arsenal that will buy a player for 72million and pay for 5 years while other big teams buy 3 to 4 of such players and still have more to spare.

Arsenal will be in a position to strengthen its squad, do away with any coach perceived not to be delivering and hire a better replacement. I mean we all saw the rise and rise of Man city from the moment they bought dem Robinho , Tevez and co ....no one would’ve thought the city we knew yester years will be running away with the league , playing in the champions league semi final and becoming a team you have to celebrate if ur team manages to beat them .

2. The ESL provides big money to all founding members , what u choose to do with ur money is ur own headache. Teams like Chelsea will likely think of building a stadium of their own , teams like Inter and AC Milan that share the same stadium may reason in this same Line.... what this means is teams like Arsenal and others who have their own stadiums have enough cash to deal in the transfer market to compete fairly with others that already have better players. Nobody will expect Arsenal to keep fielding dem Nketiah , Mitland-Niles , Chambers and co against the big boys with enough money at their disposal.

3. The perception that fans will get bored watching big teams play each other week after week ; I don’t subscribe to it. I mean it is because Madrid has won champions league 13 times and Man city won none that’s why we think Madrid is a bigger team ........ In the new ESL ur records of winning Uefa champions league won’t matter , what we will be seeing is a man city fan all hyped up hoping his team beats Madrid whose fans too feel almost same way. That much importance that is attached to being a past champions league winner will be gone because the champions league will be dead (with the pulling out of the big boys ) . Everybody will be interested in the array of stars both teams will parade . I don’t think I will be bored if my team has star players and is playing another team with star players ; in fact I will always look forward to the fixtures .

I don’t think it will kill football, it will actually make it more interesting .

Blueraydick I hope you are fine bro
Haven't seen your post for a week now

Yes I'm fine; thanks for checking up on me....I've been more busy outside of here in the recent past.

I think I should be posting more now

Smith-Rowe is a rare gem

Jodera:
Any thought guys?

Na only Arteta know wetin him dey do ó. This formation may not even be what we will see in reality on the pitch. Make we sha win

He never wanted to go na that greedy agent wan destroy the boy future

Na agent work be that na....they make money from transfers than from contract improvement at Ur current club

mostob:
Can we just name him on the bench tonight. Not sure Laca can finish that match and Auba is I'll.

Yeah....I hope he makes the bench too

Balogun has signed a new deal....now let's see what he has to offer when he's given a chance to prove himself

shebi na here we dey

iamoyindamola:
No way he fvcking dead that left position making martinelli isolated and easily crowded
I like the fact that he is well discipline enough not to over step his boundary but he limited our chances.
Against a better team we won't get a good result
Ceballos that guy over do pass himself make we no use shelfield judge these guys abeg they are just there

Well, I was talking from the defensive poing of view when I was talking about Xhaka's performance in that makeshift LB position.His defensive strength that is mostly missing when he plays in the middle shone no just in this last game but also in the other matches I've seen him play that position. As for the attack side of his game, I think everyone knows Xhaka has never been a great attacker so I wasn't expecting him to be making those Tierney attacking runs.

I maintain that Ceballos plays well upfront and not in the CM position in which he's tasked with holding possession, recovering the ball and covering as much space as possible in the middle of the park. Recall that was how he helped us win against sheffield in our run to winning the FA cup last season. If dem Odegard, Smith-Rowe are not available upfront there's nothing bad in giving Ceballos a trial too

I don't know if it's just me but Xhaka seems to be playing that makeshift left back position well anytime he's called upon to do so. I mean he plays it better than Cedric does ( I don't know if I'm right in this but from what I've seen he seem to be well relaxed in that role)

Should the coach be considering playing him there often when Tierney is unavailable pending when we will get a replacement for Kolasinac?

I also noticed that Ceballos plays better in an advance role in midfield, more like an AM and not the CM he's playing losing the ball at critical points on the field.....

I think knowing how to use some of these players will decide how Arteta and Arsenal will end the season

Saka forced back to left back
