..... It is quite obvious you always sway away from the point of contention deliberately just to suit your narrative. Let me just indulge you on this.

... You expect fans to keep mute about the biggest player in their team clearly supporting a human rights abuser because he is free to do that and because America is bad? What sort of silly excuse is that?? It's like a company's biggest star ambassador supporting say a rapist or convicted murderer and you expect the customers of that company to keep mute because the said ambassador can do what he wants ( in this case, support this criminal). What sort of reasoning is that?

.... This is beyond Ozil's action now but it's repercussions towards Arsenal as a football club, especially in the American market. So, advocating for this means that I see America as omnipotent or something? I posted my point isy that his actions do not help our cause in improving product sales in America and growing our streaming numbers there simply because he is our biggest star currently but somehow you have turned the argument to the fact that America is bad or Turkey bad or whatever. Ozil condemned the conduct against him by the Germans and openly said that US & UK is bad as well but he has yet to condemn the horrible things his best man has done. So, what does that make him?

... Anyway, this is your opinion but while you are looking out for your favourite player or one of favourite your players, my utmost interest is that of the club and not any player. By the way, good to know you are biased towards those you like.Good night bro.

What exactly are u saying for 4ck sake? Somebody invited an alleged dictator to his wedding and not just that, he makes him his best man. How is that any body's problem?


For 4ck sake,Amenesty international indicted Nigerian army and Buhari the GCFR for killing of at least 150 unharmed IPOB supporters, does that stop Buhari from meeting with Trump? Does it stop him from meeting other world leaders?.

What u don't know is all these western countries may even know u drink from human skull, but once u have something to offer them u are good to go.

Oga if Arsenal parades messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe, Neymar and the likes nobody would care if a certain ozil gets his asss busted by any damn Edorgan. Make Arsenal have something to offer and see how Ozil's wedding will.not matter to anybody.

And so u know, I've not swayed from the point I raised initially. The young man has a right to appoint anybody as his best man. Let arsenal focus on doing business and leave him alone, if not sell him off

kokaneprodigy:
is UAE not sponsoring Real Madrid and PSG? You get emotional with everything

This is exactly his problem. He talks about bias as if not all humans have bias. In fact his bias shows he is all out to have ozil our at all cost. As if arsenal that employed ozil will follow emotions and demote him to reserves or sell him for cheap because he chose to have a dictator as his best man. Smh....

As if football clubs are run on emotions. This is no 4cking national team!

solomonbrown64:
....Ozil is Turk regardless of the fact that his parents were born in Germany as well as him too. There is nothing wrong in claiming being Turk and if he decides to carry it a step further by being friends with the president despite who he is. I don't have a problem with that, that's why I deem the narrative of Abacha and his fans and America being good or bad as unnecessary. You are clearly intelligent so I don't want to conclude that you have comprehension problems, this is just a case of liking a player beyond anything. I don't have a problem with that either because of your previous bias towards other players you don't like in this very thread. That's who you are so no problem.

....Once again Pal, this isn't Erdogan vs them or America vs the rest of the world. It's the disrespect here by Ozil towards the people who pay his salary. The disrespect to fans of his and the club and the fans to be in America. Whether America is good or bad, the fact is we need their market. E.O.D. and Ozil's action is not helping and will not help that cause. That's the bone of contention here, Mr. Blue.

Talk about bias, everyone has that.....at least that's why people study statistics to PhD level....

I still don't get how whom I want to be my best man at my wedding can be serious concern to millions of people who won't be at my wedding. I mean it's a private wedding most people didn't even know was happening until about two days ago.

I believe people just want to have something to talk about.

Ozil said UK/America is as bad as they claim Turkey is; this is a fact going back in history. So I really don't get why people should have sleepless night over his matter while he is busy shagging his new bride.

You seem to hold America in such high esteem and see them as God's own country that was appointed by God to decide who is right or wrong, who should be termed bad or otherwise.....

Arsenal as a club will not dictate who a player chooses to associate with off the pitch, once he doesn't make disrespectful comments about the club( I'm sure he didn't)

solomonbrown64:
....... You just confirmed today that you are an Ozil fan first before an Arsenal fan. It is quite disappointing to see a supposed fan who supports a club type something of this nature.

...... If you don't know who Erdogan is, then it's better you find out instead of embarrassing yourself by comparing Abacha and his fans to Ozil's current situation.

..... Arsenal brand is behind Chelsea and the others in Asia and far behind Man United, Chelsea and Liverpool in America. We are trying to break into that market because of their purchase power to increase our revenue generation because of the sort of philosophy we follow here. The UAE sponsoring us is already a serious red flag but when your biggest player is busy romancing with someone Americans see as a dictator and human rights abuser, you are seeking for trouble. The fans in Europe are already pissed talk more of those that are yet to receive our market.

.....Erdogan knows that Turkey being part of NATO as a tool to curb Russia's influence on the Mediterranean is the reason the American government still overlook his antecedents there. Ozil either doesn't know that he is a tool used by Erdogan for his political gains or he knows and just doesn't care. His reply to the latest criticism that the US/Uk have done bad things and that goes in line in what you wrote up there shows the sort of person he is. Anyway, I don't care who he follows or he doesn't but Arsenal's biggest player affiliating himself with Erdogan doesn't do us any favours. It's a serious bad rep. It is best we do away with him and he can go do whatever he wants with his president.

... Arsenal do not need such negativity in such a critical time.

Oga call me whatever u name u would, it doesn't matter.

What I am telling u is even Hitler had supporters. Ozil's wedding is a private affair, Arsenal did not sponsor his wedding. He can decide to associate with whomever he feels like.

If arsenal wants to get rid of him because he frolicks with someone Nato refers to as number one enemy, then they should pay his severance package and let him go. The Abacha-Comparison I did was to show u that no matter how a large populace refer to someone as a dictator, murderer, etc, they will always have people who lean towards them. At least my old man still has copies of 1997 Tell Magazines that had headlines of civilians like me and u earnestly yearning for Abacha's continued rule prior to his demise.

As for not knowing who Edorgan is and embarrassing myself, maybe u should educate me on how much a devil he is that America hasn't been.

Spy360:
You may have a point, but I will take Van Persie over Aubameyang bro.

Well, that's a choice that will not improve our lot as it has been stated previously that strike force is not our problem. That Auba outscored the league champions' striker and strikers of other clubs.

It's not like Van persie would leave attack and join our leaky defence na

solomonbrown64:
...... The way fans dey para for am now eh. We are still trying to raise our awareness and improve brand in America and now this?? Fly Emirates isn't enough but our star player is friends with a dictator who let his security team harass and assault American citizens in their own soil. Kai! this one na real bad rep. Make them sell that guy by all means even if we pay some part of his wages. He has to leave now before he spoil market for us.

Abeg let him make whoever he wishes to be his best man Jàre. It is his day of joy and people are suddenly turning it to diplomatic war.

The truth is no matter what a man is labeled, he will always have people who love him and choose to see beyond all that. Look at Abacha of Nigeria, despite people calling him all sorts or name after his demise, his family and loved ones still celebrate his demise till date( If I'm not mistaken, today should be his remembrance sef)

Even Al Mustapha that carried out deadly orders for Abacha contested in the last election and still had people rooting for him.

Make Una just leave ozil and let him fraternize with whomever he wishes.

By the way, America has committed more war crimes than this Turkey president in the past but nobody is talking about it. Make dem allow us hear word jare

R2bees:
Carrasco in advance talk with Carrasco

Baba is so excited he wrote Carrasco twice

solomonbrown64:
....Lol. Bro, I know you are disappointed and distraught currently especially the manner the old board and manager mismanaged the team's finances, making the sacrifices of those players who were sold because of stadium debt and to bring us amongst the elite seemingly wasted. It is extremely frustrating to see us move from Viera to Xhaka; from Eboue to Niles; from the great defense of George Graham to this current leaking one; from Pires to Iwobi and from Clinical strikers in Van Persie and Igwe to wasteful ones in our current squad. It is painful and sad to watch us capitulate especially in finals, from Mancity's thrashing at the league cup to Chelsea's merciless beating at the recent UEL final. It is heartbreaking to see Tottenham in the finals of the biggest club tournament in the world, playing with their hearts on the pitch while we watched our team destroyed and our star player cussing his team mates and coach.

..... But we will rise again. We still have thirteen league titles, thirteen fa cups and a total of thirty cups won, only behind Liverpool and Manchester United who both have forty-two each. Raul was one of those behind the rebirth of Barcelona, together with Pep and he has another Spanish coach in Emery who is hungry to do build something with Arsenal. It will take time but we top the league again. I won't give up on this team and I hope you will give Emery the benefit of the doubt this season to set things right.

Bros what makes van persie clinical? Dude practically had just two good seasons at arsenal; His last and and the one before that (2011/2012 and 2010/2011) in which he scored 30 league goals in 38 matches and 18 league goals in 25 matches.

Flash news is ;the Auba u assume is not clinical has almost supassed that scoring 10 league goals in 13 appearances during his first season and 22 goals in 36 matches. It just took him one full season to win the Golden boot. Do u knkw how many years Van persie spent at Arsenal to get one?

The earlier people accept those strikers are not our problem, the better.

I agree with every other thing u said in Ur post, but that Van Persie being clinical at arsenal like say he do pass igwe, I no gree

Congrats to Mr and Mrs Ozil!

I advise the family of the deceased should sue the Chinese company. They have insurance policies that covers such legal liability arising from their contract works.

The family members shouldn't sleep on their right.

Roland17:
I will like to see Emery slowly integrate E. Nketiah, B. Saka and X. Amaechi into the squad.

Especially Saka. I want to see that boy play often

zikter:
Don't be surprised one person in the bus will object but the rest will shout him down, giving more morale to the cursed danfo driver

Exactly! Their impatience usually makes them support the drivers. Now see where it has landed them

mistyebby:
If you know Cele mile 2 Apapa road, you wont blame anybody both the truck and danfo driver.

If Sanwo olu wants to get to Apapa through cele, he must drive against traffic. Why, because the other lane is not motorable. This road is a Federal road, this road leads to Apapa wharf, this road is in Lagos state which is acclaimed to have the largest IGR.

Im sad and pissed!!!!!!!!

Are u saying everyone on that roaf drive against traffic? I don't want to believe that. The way the news was reported shows the danfo deliberately drove against traffic.

Early in the morning on my way to the island you will see those stupid danfo drivers driving against traffic on Carter bridge close to idumota and the worse part is they are always on high speed and nearing running into Ur own vehicle that is on its own course.

See people just enjoy lawlessness in Lagos ni jare

9jaRealist:
You are wrongly presuming the passengers did not protest...
And that if they did so, the drivers/conductors would heed their protest.

The conundrum is that we Lagosians recognize Danfo for the madness they are...
But many will nonetheless attack/criticize someone like Ambode when he proposed replacing them.
>

Bro, if they protest and he doesn't heed their protest, they could've all dropped off the bus.

I was in a public bus not quite long ago and the stupid driver and his conductor were about refueling the vehicle from a keg containing petrol they had kept aside for such purpose. The engine was still running and they were about embarking on such stupid venture.

I protested I would have none of that except the engine was switched, the conductor just insulted me and said I was forming. I dropped and stayed a little far away while other sheep's that called themselves passengers stay put.

When the refueling was concluded, I rejoined the bus and continued my journey.

Although life has no value in Nigeria, but u as the owner of the life must do everything possible to prolong Ur life

Why would they sit in the bus and keep mute when the driver faced one-way, knowing fully well how heavy duty trucks ply that area?

Were they mad or something? Because I know who the gods want to kill they first make mad.

The way we so embrace lawlessness in this Country ehn, it's alarming.

Now see the end product

Each time I see students attempt suicide because of failure in one course I just laugh.

I mean who told these set students that even if they pass all their courses and graduate on time, they will get a job sef?

sod09:

They should all fvck off abeg

Cheer up, Xhaka is on the verge of leaving for inter Milan jare

sod09:
Auba, xhaka,mustafi and mhki have all removed arsenal FC from their bios good riddance to bad nonsense.
If they can all generate 150m they should all fvck off.
Useless waste pipes, I hope ozil join body with them

Sorry to disappoint u, words on the street is Xhaka is about getting a new contract and will probably be made arsenal captain afterwards

sod09:
haba, how can you compare Bernardo with iwobi or any of our midfielders.
All I'm saying is Emery should at least try iwobi in his prefer position and watch if he's good or not we have seen him take that position from Mikel in Nigeria.

Why can't we compare the two?

Bernardo Silva is 24 and Ìwobi is 23.

You are not getting it. Ìwobi was handed a chance most of our youth players dream of day and night. I bet if dem nketiah, Bukayo Saka are given that kind of opportunity, they will make the best of it and become much more better than them Ramsey.

Iwobi has not lived up to expectation, he switches on and off.

There are so many players played out of position that have gone ahead to excel in their assigned role. Look at united's Valencia in his prime, he was like the best right back in England despite starting out as a number 7. Abeg stop making excuses for Ìwobi.

Ìwobi is not good enough. He doesn't even start most games for Nigeria sef.

sod09:
I'm not saying he's world class yet but he has improved maybe not much considering the kind of players he's with

Yes not much at all. I don't know him prior to joining arsenal, but I can tell u he's still a rough diamond.

sod09:
blame wengay iwobi is not a winger he played better football in 10 position. Ask yourself how many times has he played his right position

Do u know how many positions Bernardo Silva plays?

Abeg Iwobi is not just good enough.

sod09:
I think he's more motivated and played better than that foolish ozil

Nobody is saying ozil was good last season, in fact he was worse than mustafi this past season.

Me saying Guendouzi is still scrap is in context of how u coined Ur initial post. Guendouzi was bought a scrap and hasn't turned world class, at least not yet.

Is it right if we say "God bless the scammers that wiped tho man's account for supporting fraudulent act of some other scammers"?

Eawwal:
Ozil has become very poor. Imagine Sanchez creating and assisting more than him, despite having a bad season. He is suppose to lead this team, but he is the most ineffective player. How some people crucify a 23 year old while supporting his mediocre performances is one of the wonders of the world.

Ìwobi got a chance thousands of youth players don't get. He was lucky enough to get a chance most youth players like gnabry didn't get at arsenal and Ìwobi hasn't lived up to expectations.

For at least 3 years he's been featuring int the senior team and he hasn't been able to show why he should be our first choice number 10. His push of the ball going forward is full of Indecisions whether to pass or dribble, when he eventually shoots the ball it barely takes the keeper any effort at all to get a hold of the ball.

In a team like Chelsea, Iwobi would've gone on countless loans and get sold eventually sef.

sod09:
Robertson was a scrap when he was released by Celtic, it depends on how the scrap become valuable.
Guendouzi was a scrap when he was released by psg too but he's improving

Guendouzi is still scrap

kokaneprodigy:
there was a time we didn’t have Sanchez and Ozil. The period when we weren’t making big, experienced signings. We weren’t this bad.!!

Mind you, Sanchez left in January we still coped. These days we can’t even beat Mid-table clubs. We had Giroud and we were beating them comfortably, Emery has Laca and Auba and our attack looks impotent.

I really do not think our attack looks impotent tho.

I think our defence is shambolic and our midfielders easily go to sleep. Yes Xhaka is not good enough and we need to get some good competition for our right back and left back positions.

I don't seem to understand Emery's style of play. Just like someone said earlier he plays drab, more like anything goes; no clear style of play like we had in the Wenger days.

kokaneprodigy:
There’s something wrong with this team if yall think Ozil is the problem then yall are on a long thing.

When was the last time we won a game convincingly with or without Ozil.?

Wenger in his last years at Arsenal didn’t have the kind of armoury Emery has, yet never lost games like pure water, or play drab football like we see.

If Ozil says he’s not a coach there’s an atom of truth.

Cos something is fundamentally wrong with this Arsenal I see lately.

Better oil dey Ur head bro. Maybe Ozil was wrong to have said that the way he said it, but for real Emery doesn't look a coach that would make Arsenal great.

Ozil has shown over the years he should never be relied on in a physical game; No be today. Emery didn't only make the mistake of starting him in that game(despite knowing Ozil has been shiiit under him), he further made matters worse by playing him out of position and even assigning him that much task.

Even if the board gets him the right players he desires, of no use will it be if he as a supposed big coach will start dem Mavropnos, Jenkinson, Elneny that haven't played for a long time in an important match like he did against palace?

Smh

Ibinabo the murderer that got away with it should just shut the 4ck up! If Shan George was wrong we shouldn't be hearing it from someone like Ibinabo who killed a family's breadwinner.

If Nigeria was working she should be in jail serving a long prison term.

Anyways, I'm not surprised a Murderer is giving her opinion on a pedophile

nihilistjnr:
naaah

I don't want to hear it.

where are them Afrodoc2 airmark and chic2pimp?

femo Joshua knocked down like a bowling pin

That fight wan come make me believe say that jazz airmark has been talking about really exists.

I mean how do I explain to my kids the man in the pix below knocked out the great AJ?

sod09:
Cech: when I was in Chelsea and we draw a game, it's always like a funeral but I think there's no much pressure in arsenal.

Just imagine what wengay turned us to, no ex players that have played for other top EPL clubs will not criticise wengay.
He turned us to a pussy

Sodiq between me and and u....tell me what will it take for u to leave Wenger alone?....make that old man enjoy him retirement na

I need to learn this photoshop, who will recommend good videos for me on youtube?

What happens to the coolers of Jollof, moin moin, semo, fried rice, meat and the drums of chilled beers waiting at the reception?

I don't care what happens on the way, I will definitely take at least a bottle of beer if I was a guest already waiting at reception
