Bro this thing can pain diee

I also prefer the 2face version myself

As in....serious pain sef. I guess that's why he tries to make people see 2face as a double faced dishonest friend at every chance he gets......but u know on these Nigerian streets once people Don love an artist they will never listen to his bad side u try to share with them.

See how burna do MR 2kay dirty, most people including fellow musicians just looked away because Burna Na almost everybody’s fav.... as he do am reach obafemi side people begin find their voice

Ibime:
Mehn, now I fully believe that 2Face stole African Queen from Blackface.

Listening to Blackface version let me know clearly who is the real owner of the song. 2Face version is just a substandard copy.

Well, I really do not know what transpired between those two but I don't think 2face stole the song outrightly like blackface is claiming.

What I think happened ( which is a wild guess) is that they both owned the song i.e they co-wrote it while still together as a group and after the whole group thing wasn't working 2face looking for a hit song to put out there probably freestyle the song under his new management, they liked it and encouraged him to put the song out there.

Methinks blackface was pissed 2face did not only get credit for song they both came up with, but also made lots of money from performing it across the world while he (blackface)got nothing other than being called a frustrated igbo smoker who is jealous of his old friend's success.

I don't think 2face's version is a substandard copy of the song, rather it appears to me as a fine tuned R'N'B version of it.

We keep blaming others for leno's mistake, martinez also kept under ebening with same useless claimed defenders.
After xhaka leno tops the error leading to goal for arsenal but instead we will find blame push to the players.
Na here we they na abi no be leno again we go soon blame arsene wengay for his mistake

U see ehn, when u don't like a player u go all out to condemn him and dwell so much on his mistakes when in fact other players are as guilty as such player. I just gave u an example of how Martinez's error almost led to a goal, but u side-stepped it.

I remember the other day u praised Martinez for one good save he made at Villa, I posted a baddass save Leno made vs Loserpool and u just side-step it too. You see ehn, Arsenal Leno and Martinez are both great keepers we couldn't afford to keep , one was bound to leave. It's just like when Saka came to limelight, imagine if Pepe also plays excellently well like Saka, do u think we won't be forced to sell Saka when his contract was almost expiring and we have interest from other clubs?

For the umpteenth time, selling either of Leno or Martinez was inevitable at that point.....The management chose Leno and that's that. Blaming Leno for Xhaka's error as a result of playing from the back( Which is obviously the coach's instruction) is quite unfair if you ask me.

By the way, u are the one who blames ex-coaches (in person of Wenger and Good Ebening ) for our present woes. Me i dey look who fumble talk am as I see am

iamoyindamola:
Olympiakos failed to punish them the first time, Georgios Masouras blasting wastefully over after David Luiz had lost possession in his own box shortly after the opening goal, but Dani Ceballos wasn't so lucky for Youssef El-Arabi's equaliser.

He was landed in trouble by Bernd Leno's poor choice of pass - the goalkeeper was partly at fault for Granit Xhaka's error against Burnley on Saturday too - but it was another example of carelessness from a player whose mistakes almost cost Arsenal a place in the last-16 against Benfica


That post was copied from skysports and if I were Martinez I won't stay either especially when I'm better than the number 1.
We never see anything we will Scape goat thousand players to make Leno look good.
He's still a ticking time bomb waiting to explode

Btw,the job of goalkeeper is to make saves why not compare him with Martinez instead

I don't understand you , do u honestly think Arsenal playing from the back is the brain work of the players ? If u don’t know , that’s part of Arteta’s tactics, similar to what his boss Pep does at man city. No matter errors that results from that he will continue to play it so far he keeps getting results .

I watched the burnley game and I really don’t understand why anybody will blame Leno for that game. Someone rightly pointed it out here that Elneny, Partey have received the ball in more tighter position than Xhaka received and they were able to beat the press. Xhaka’s skill set is limited when he’s with the ball at his feet and we all know this , he tried to play a blind pass across the field ( which he always do most times and gets lucky with it ) , how is that Leno’s fault ?

As for comparing Leno and Martinez , we all know how Leno was exposed to numerous shots by our useless defensive play in Good Ebening’s last season and we saw the number of saved he made proving himself to be a top shot stepper despite having useless defenders playing in front of him.

I know someone u think Leno is prone to errors but so is Martinez. Despite playing for few months for us , I saw Martinez’s errors but he was lucky it didn’t lead to goal unlike Leno’s. Martinez nearly gave a goal away vs Chelsea in the FA cup final but we got lucky. I know Leno has his faults but I honestly don’t think Martinez is better than him, at most I rate them at par.

iamoyindamola:
Leno he is the ticking time bomb

There's no perfect keeper. Leno has been better than most of our number 1 in recent past. He makes better and unbelievable saves compared to dem Alumunia....scezney.....Fabianski....cech....etc.

I know u still think keeping Martinez and Leno would've been a better thing to do but then how do u keep someone who doesn't want to stay na....The only way Martinez was ever going to be our number 1 is if Leno had a long term injury that keeps him out for a very long.

Jodera:
Lol... Me too, I slept off during 2nd half after their goal. I guess it was really a long day that caused it, cos this is the first time I slept off while watching an arsenal match.


As for bellerin, we shouldn't even look far this season sef. Cedric is better than him. I don't know what bellerin brings in that team that Arteta sees, but mehn, the guy is so poor going forward and even his attacking plays are poor. No wonder anyone playing Right wing flops bar saka.
Rumors are flying here and there that he might be sold next summer. I just hope it's true and let us get a competent Rb. And also, if Arteta can start using Cedric over him, e go make sense

I think Cedric is already ahead of Bellerin in the pecking order in EPL, he just used Bellerin in Europa being cup match and try to give Cedric a break ( I may be wrong tho).

Where's prettyprincess? She's been missing in action for a while now.

@dyt Idayat baby hope u are good as well?

Whew!
I was watching the match with the scores @ 1-0 ; I thought arsenal was going to add 2 more goals with the way were playing. I slept off and woke to see the final score at 3-1.

It's now like a common thing for us to always expect drama in any of our matches now. I really don't know what is wrong with Ceballos' confidence he seems to have lost it. He almost cost us the Europa league match and he was almost repeating same yesterday ; losing the ball in critical areas on the pitch. I just hope they don't continue this late drama against more quality opponents cos it will hurt us pretty soon.

I don't know if it's just me, but Bellerin is utterly useless going forward. He's always two steps behind every other person in the team; he hardly controls the ball once and keeps dishing out rubbish cross from the right flank. I just hope the board will put an end to our misery by getting a good RB who will serve us well in the next season. That RB posing little threat attack-wise is one of the reasons we don't get to score more goals like dem Chelsea, Man city, loserpool etc that have good attack minded RB

Line up

This Southampton keeper na minus 1; he no just dey read ball at all.

I no gree with the bolded...
In my first I had bad result, 2nd and 3rd I had average then 4th I did very well and my project carried huge unit so it elevated me
Overall my CGPA was above average.
That mean I only did well once in my 4 years in school, away goals should be counted as those average GPA I had in my 2nd and 3rd years Iwhich I didn't pay attention to it importance.
Same thing with away goals it not important when scored until it backfire.
Arsenal almost lose out to benfica because of that stupid rule again, with away goals teams will just play for it to survive not because they can

You obviously didn't have a bad result. If u had bad result and followed it by average u definitely won't have an above average result at the end of the day. When I say bad result, I mean having carryovers( The 's" is very important), i mean having 6 carryovers in 11 courses. Then when I say average result, it means having "C" grade in all subjects.

Now I put it to you that in the present Nigerian University there's no how u will have "bad" result in 100l and average result in 200l & 300l and u will still graduate with above average result. Trust me, I know a whole lot about these things. (If u still disagree I will tell my story about how hard it is to move from one class of degree all tru my time in school)

As for the away rule, trust me it is still way better than the golden goal rule that saw a whole lot of teams with strength qualify ahead of teams that play better. The away goal rule encourages you to do well on both ur home front and ur opponent's as well.

iamoyindamola:
It doesn't justify the real outcome of game
It's just like a student that cram just to pass an exam

No, ur analogy is faulty. The beauty of away goal is that you are judged on weighted average, just like final CGPA in a University system. You must be at your best all tru your time in school for you to have a good CGPA at the end of the day. You can't decide to do well in year 1 and not perform well in year 4....obviously u won't get to graduate.

The essence of away goal is for teams who perform well on both legs to proceed to the next round.

Jodera:
I think you're forgetting the fact that we always mostly build from the back

This scenario isn't the first time that Leno have passed the ball to his players in such situations. Mostly, elneny or ceballos or partey have received the ball in such situation and we've safely passed it out beating the opposition press. And I've not seen anyone blaming Leno for passing as such, cos it was successful. I can remember man u game first leg, such situation like this and elneny beat the press with just 1 touch pass. Same as ceballos and partey on numerous occasions. If you watch that pass well, you will notice that just one touch pass from Xhaka to David Luiz would have beaten that press with ease. The trap and move back by xhaka towards our goalpost made the situation as tricky as it is.

The only situation I'll fault Leno is trusting xhaka. Cos if he knew xhaka would brain fart he wouldn't have trusted him

Sod09 never got over the fact that arsenal sold Martinez ( who was hell bent on either being used as first choice or leaving the club)and kept Leno.
I understand him tho; Leno and Martinez are both good keepers and any club will be lucky to have them both..

Xhaka has since apologized and acknowledged he messed up the pass to have gifted burnley the equalizer; it happens in football. We were unlucky not to have gotten a penalty but we move.

I can't blame to draw on Leno cos he didn't gift burnley the equalizer; Xhaka did. I think we need to focus on more players that fumbled like Chambers who was static in RB and made our attack from the right limited.

So today my woman and I had a moment of truth . I confessed she makes the best of fried eggs and she confessed I make the best of noodles.

So we agreed henceforth I will be in charge of noodles while she holds the fried egg industry

Greatihex:
If this is the rule for defenders too do you think attackers will wait time to exploit it? They will just raise the ball to the arm of the defender and get their penalty sharply.

You can ask Sterling what happened the last time he tried it.

The fact remains that, for an attacking team, if the ball touches the hand before a goal it will be disallowed, no matter what. Uefa amended it after the man City vs Tottenham quarter final.
But for the defending team, not all ball that touches the hand is a penalty.

U need to share a link to this rule we are not aware of that allows defenders handle the ball and get away with it.

The only reason why a defender won't be penalize for handball is if his hands were in natural position or he was falling and needed to use the hand for support before he handled the ball

Greatihex:
There was no time any handball will attract penalty. It must have to be intentional or if the blocked shot is goal bound.
What was amended is that of scoring from handball situation. Go and check the rules again.

The handball rule has nothing to do with intention. This is the updated rule at the beginning of the season ( September 2020).

I will just tell you that Kante's arm wasn't clearly raised above his shoulder.

I know u are messing around cos It’s obvious u know the list in that screenshot is a list of different things that constitute handball. Nowhere in the rule did they say all the different scenarios must happen before handball is awarded

The fact that his arm is away from his body makes it a foul already

Trevor012:
There are no inconsistencies. Like I told you before rules are different for attackers and defenders. Bringing up Fulham in relation to Chelsea is meaningless.

Attackers:
For handballs leading directly to a goal they don’t look at positioning or intent. Touches hand and causes a goal -> automatically disallowed.


Defenders:
Intents, distance are judged. basically a 50/50 decision. Shooting the ball into a hand of the defender in a non scoring opportunity isn't a handball.

At this point , continuing to engage you is a waste of time . Shoving “facts” out of ur asss trying to force it down the throat of someone more informed than you seems to be ur strong point .

Jodera:
It was really clear. I've to watch the replay over and over again to see if there's any reason why it wasn't given, but I just couldn't find any. What even made it funny was how same day Fulham was denied a goal cos of a handball In which the offending player's hand was even in his body (that's a natural position).

Kante was indeed lucky but var inconsistencies is killing the game. Now players and coaches don't even know which rule is which again... And I think that's the annoying part.
Also it might breed room for corruption cos the rules aren't as transparent as it was before and nobody will be held responsible as the refs and officiating body will just hide under the illusion called Var

I don’t think anybody can give a valid reason why the Kante ball wasn’t penalized . Let’s just say it was a regrettable error on the part of the ref and VAR

Trevor012:
Tell me the similarities between what happened at Chelsea and Fulham?

IFAB rules okays it for a goal to be disallowed if an attacking player handles the ball before a goal or before a goal scoring opportunity.

Going by this rule the Fulham’s VAR decision was fair even though the handball was accidental.

However , the ref’s decision in the Chelsea match was not in tandem with what IFAB says about handballs . My post was about the inconsistencies of VAR in judging match situations according to laid down rules.

You are the only who came up with comparisons and what have you.

Trevor012:
Do your research next time before jumping into a discussion

Look at this one forming nonsense

You ignorantly claimed Kante was adjudged handball because he was in a defensive position ; as if there’s a specific rule that says ball handled in defensive position will not be judged as a foul. We asked you to provide evidence of such rules being in place Na okoto meow follow ....smh

In case you don’t know, once a player makes his body bigger with his arm and handles the ball in the process it handball irrespective of his intentions.

By the way , I don’t recall quoting you before you jumped into my mentions

Trevor012:
In his 18yard box.


The rules are different for handballs leading up to goals and handballs by a player in their own penalty areas. So your Fulham comparism is meaningless.

Can please quote these said rules ?

Trevor012:
It's a different rule for attackers and defenders

What are the respective rules for attackers and defenders ?

Is Kante an attacker or defender ?

At what point does an attacker becomes a defender ?

Jodera:
Actually, most handball you see aren't deliberate. Why I believe kante wasn't intentional about it I also feel he was fortunate. Also I think this handball rule is way too inconsistent.

Did you see the disallowed goal for Fulham ystdy. What's your opinion about it if you don't mind

It’s really funny how they are trying to explain away such clear handball. Kante that had his hands stretched apart like that person talk say it is in natural position

Instead of just agreeing Kante was lucky because anybody that watched that Fulham game and watched Chelsea’s will be confused as to how exactly VAR works and how handballs are judged.

Somebody even said it wasn’t intentional . Sissoko in the champions league final was seen pointing to his players to mark Liverpool players out before the ball touched his outstretched hands; it was clear he had no intentions of handling the ball but he still had a penalty awarded against him
