[b]Also, instead of Kiwior, why not Zinny? [/b]Could we have played a back 3, keep the middle without losing our strength at the top? Why the hell were we playing that high? It cost us that Red card even though Saliba should have been smarter. Did we need 4CBs on a flat back line after the red? Merino was poor, he should have been taken off earlier than he did.

Local man is weak!

Baba, Zinchencko is worse defensively when compared to Kiwior. I don't like Kiwior as a player but he's still defensively stronger than Zinchencko.

I don't like the highline we played but I noticed we've always kept that kind of highline against bournemouth ; I don't know why.

I don't have problem with the defense but I have issues with the midfield trio. Merino should've been benched for Nwaneri to give room for creativity in the middle. Even though Odegaard and Merino are left footed players, there is a gulf of quality attacking-wise between them.

Coaching job no easy o

If he had drawn or stole a win....fans would applaud...
If he had risked not replacing the CB and ended up with a cricket score....fans would still drag him ....it's a risk that didn't pay up

They know these things, but anything to lash out at Arteta is always welcome ahead of objectivity.

Arteta has his balmes for not getting some things right leading to the loss, but bringing in a defender to fix the hole left by Saliba is not one of those mistakes. It was the most logical and natural thing to do.

We should be concerned about our players copping red card unnecessarily due to indiscipline issues. We should be worried that Arteta is not having a sit-down talk with these boys to make them see how those red cards can be the reason we might not lift a major trophy if they keep losing their cool.

Sportsweb:
Israel will hit back [b]Whenever, However and Wherever it chooses.[/b] That's the word of their Defense Chief.

If they want, they can't retaliate in 2030. Be rest assured, they don't miss their target.

I don't even understand their impatience. Israel were very clear that their retaliation will come at the right time.

Nobody forced them before the pager and walkie talkie detonation happened. Nobody forced them when Hezbollah,Hamas and IRGC guys started dropping like flies.

As much as they wish Israel don't retaliate, we all know they will

iamoyindamola:
It’s not about sterling
Arteta removed an attacker for a defender because of red card against fvcking Bournemouth
We won’t forget this

So are u saying he should've removed another defender I.e either Calafiori, Gabriel or Ben White?

Who should he have removed to plug the huge vacuum Saliba left with his reckless foul?

oliverano:
It's always the most sensible thing to do when you're a man down with lots minutes to play. Take an attacker off and introduce a defender. Wenger did same with with Pires in 006, took the lead after the red and nearly won the UCL but of course, nearly does not kill a bird but the point still stands.

It's the issue with most fans, if arsenal attackers took their chances and then parked a trailer it's another three point but because the game is lost then you'll see different opinions.

Arteta did the right thing!

We have fans here who always wait for Arteta to make a mistake and then lash out at him.

Now the issue is that Arteta did not make a miskate with that sub like you rightly noted. If Arteta had decided not to take Sterling off and bring in a defender, it simply means one of our defenders will have to drop back to play as a CB.

Arteta who trains the players probably knows none of our current midfielder can play CB for over one hour of football. It's only logical to bring in a defender to have a chance at putting up any fight with 10 men.

iamoyindamola:
Yes because we ended up conceding 2

And who says we won't concede more than 2 without a substitute CB? So u think having Sterling who didn't track back for most of the minutes he played would've made us score while Bournemouth will just forget we are one man down?

We lost simply because our players are undisciplined once again. I will definitely blame Arteta for not instilling discipline in his players but I won't blame him for the sub that made logical sense.

iamoyindamola:
Keep on defending
But all of a sudden he can bring n Jesus and Nathan to perform miracles
Shebi miracle no they tire Jesus

You see, you don't have anything to say again. I asked u if it was wrong bringing in a defender to block a hole in his CB position? 🤷‍♂️

iamoyindamola:
Blueraydick said we are short of defender

A Center back was booked. The coach takes out an attacker that has been playing rubbish to block the hole in his CB. HOW IS THAT A WRONG DECISION in the football world? 🤷‍♂️

Kiwior has always been useless, I'm not surprised

Our Fullbacks waste minutes to take a throw only to take a rubbish throw 🤦‍♂️

E Don happen

Tell me any group that Arabs live in peace with. They barely live in peace with themselves

Those who entered Europe as refugees have started stabbing

They have almost killed everyone in South Sudan and Darfur now

Nateevs doesn't care about those fellow black people killed by Arab invaders

I don't think he sees the irony of saying he's pro-humanity and then stylishly justifying the October 7th attacks under any pretex.

nateevs:
You are the one running away from the point. So they rejected a two-state solution but you think it's irrelevant to know why.

Are you afraid of what you might find?

In 1937, way before the Balfour declarations. David Ben-Gurrion reportedly said.


"The Arabs will have to go, but one needs an opportune moment for making it happen, such as a war".

David Ben-Gurrion himself again in 1956 reportedly said:

Why should the Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure, God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? Our God is not theirs. We come from Israel, it's true, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?


This is freaking David Ben-Gurrion. But you think the Arabs are the problem.

Why not tell us why the Arabs rejected having their own country just like the Jews embraced theirs?

Have u ever thought if the Arabs were more reasonable and less thirsty for the blood of the Jews what they could've achieved in the present day world?

Just would have their own government, dictate who wants to rule them, make progress in science and technology like the Jews did and can have as much allies as they want.

Ask yourself : Why is it hard for the Arabs to coexist with the Jews? Why not put the interests of their people first, build a prosperous country and have a strong military that can defend their territorial sovereignty?

Ben Guarion can say anything as a person, but once upon a time the Arabs had the chance of being a peace loving country coexisting with their Jewish neighbors; they chose the path of war and are reaping the spillover of that decision till date.

iamoyindamola:
Lmao against Bournemouth
He is doing well

If we intend to take anything away from the match, then we need to ensure they don't score us in this first half. It's just normal simple sturv

iamoyindamola:
And why is the coach making defensive change so early

Because we are short of one defender on the pitch

Just look at Merino 🤦‍♂️

Fkforyou:
The decision was the right one.

It was Trosaards fault.

That was Saliba's fault 100%.

He's a defender and he knows that's a straight red card.

Arteta needs to have serious discussion with our players. All these reckless challenge are just unnecessary

Saliba Don kill us 🤦‍♂️

I'm expecting more from Merino; I'm not impressed yet

nateevs:
The problem I have found is that people only go as far back in History to a place that justifies their own talking points.

There is always history before your chosen starting points. Did you ever ask why they rejected the two- state solution in 1948? What history preceded this point? Am yourself genuinely and find answers.

Also, we are no longer in the Ottoman Empire sir. This is 2024. Wars may have consequences, but none of it should include the inhumane treatment of conquered. There is the Internet and people can see what normal existence resemblance. If you however want to keep people in perpetual captivity, then there are going to be people who are militant enough to respond Oct 7th style.

It's a normal human instinct, and you will do the same.

You are just rinjjhvaway from the major issue I raised in my post. The Arabs had a chance of having a country of their own, governed by laws made for themselves and all that on a platter of gold. They threw it away and chose war instead.

They are suffering the effects of losing a war they shouldn't have fought if they were less blood thirsty. You are talking about they being denied a whole lot of things when they threw those things away by losing a war.

If anything, the Palestine situation should be a lesson for all that sometimes being aggressive and overrating one's ability can lead to generational suffering for one's decsndants.

Hamas only added more suffering to their people's lot by the October 7th attack. I retierate again, the more Hamas terrorists keep using civilians as human shields, the more u will see casualty.

Israel as a nation has chose not to be vowed by terrorists who would sit behind civilian population sending rockets into Civilian population in Israel. If they will not come out to fight the military, then the death of their fellow countrymen will be on their hands. After all, Hamas are known to execute their fellow Palestinians anyways.

The guy said there, he saw one young lady they shot dead because she and and her people were not cooperating..

There was this their oga that they use to call and the oga will tell how much they will collect as ransom.

Dem dey inject hard substances inside their veins with syringes 💉 before they go on their operations..

Human being just be them like fowl 🐔 wey Dem dey kill for Christmas..

This is the same story shard by one lady on a popular Yoruba program on which she narrated her ordeal after being kidnapped.

She also mentioned how the Kidnappers kept reminding them that anybody whose relatives don't cooperate will be killed without much issues.

All of these is enough for Ur guy to avoid intestate travel with flashy cars. Sooner or later he will turn up dead if he continues to value business profit above his personal safety.

Sterling ahead of Saka

Ben White ahead of Timber

All those its easy to make money from Naija na just a way of saying anything goes and you should find a way to swindle the system and take advantage of the people

Take away fake products, gaming system, avoiding taxes and other sharp practices many of those so called business will pack up in 12months

Na like IG baddies wey claim say na makeup bysiness make am blow. Carry sodiq go do the same business and his eyes go see shege

9-5 has taken a significant number of children of nobodies from extreme poverty to middle class even rich man in Naija

This!

My former MD would tell us how he struggled to finish from Uni-Ife (OAU). He said he was just a village boy from one Ikale Village in Ondo state who knew absolute nobody after graduation from university.

He came to scort with one of his distant uncles In Lagos after school to start searching for jobs after NYSC in the east. From getting his initial job, moving to another one and finally joining a group of companies. He said the first child naming ceremony he did, he used the money gained from the ceremony to write a professional exam. That cat alone positioned him for greater things.

With time he grew through the ranks and became a big man he is today. He comfortably sent 3 kids to private university of his choice, sponsored the eldest on a masters degree abroad and fixed the other two into good paying jobs here in naija where they can cater for themselves.

I'm sure he will have enough friends who took the business route and today they are on his list of beneficiaries he sent cash to regularly to support them.

Getting paid 12 times a year is nut as bad as people might want to see it

He's an idiot. Kicked Van de ven intentionally twice, then slapped him, then slapped another player.

He's a big ediot.

I think clubs should be fining players who behave irrationally like that which makes them miss matches which they are paid to play.

You live in the states. No matter what any individual did before the video recording, the video does show an unarmed teenager, civilian, running away, and they got shot in the back. In the US where you live and in the UK where I live, that soldier will be court-marshalled. End of. No ifs, no buts. Nothing justifies that video. But I see that you are engaging in dehumanising people, so that murder in cold blood can be justified.

Israel ceded Gaza in 2005 but do you even know the conditions under which they live? 2m people on a strip land - the biggest open-air prison in the world, with no rights to work, travel, vote and no right to self-determination. Israel controls everything that goes into Gaza - Food, electricity, goods, even water.

Have you ever lived in a state where the neighbouring state controls the water to your house? But you guys expect Gazans to say Alhamdulilahi and be grateful? There will be push back, there will be resistance and there will be Hamas. Israel is the reason Hamas exists. Endof.

Before Oct 7th, there were over 3k Palestinians held indefinitely in Israeli prisons without charge. Not even charge of terrorism, which is their normal go-to. Whilst in custody, these people get beaten, tortured and raped. The soldiers who rape them are treated like celebrities in Israeli society. But you expect the people not to resist.

Hamas this Hamas that. Have you even familiarised yourself with Hamas' creation and Netnyahu's involvement?

Wars have consequences bro.

In 1947 the United nation's voted for the creation of two independent States coexisting side by side ; The Arab state of Palestine and the Jewish state of Israel. The Palestinians kicked against this and decided to go to war with the Jewish state believing they will conquer them with the help of their Arab brothers scattered all over the middle east.

The Arabs lost the war and they have always had to deal with th consequence of losing a war. They had their lands annexed as spoils of war. You don't lose a war and start dictating how Ur conqueror will be treating u.

There's no justification whatsoever for what happened on October 07 2023. The Palestinians crossed the line maiming children, women and thousands of civilians.

You will continue to see casualty on the civilian side of Palestine as long as Hamas keeps using civilians as shields for their terrorist activities against the Jewish state.

the said guy is a car 🚗 seller, he delivers his cars across states and he uses roads 🛣️ to deliver them.
The incident happened around jos, it happened around 8pm in the night.

They were stopped, they tried to drift their way out, but unfortunately it was dead on arrival, they were carrying glk Benz which was supposedly going to be delivered to a buyer.. according to him, there was other guys on Camry, those ones drifted their way out of the scenario but thier car tires were riddled with bullets holes.

So after they were stopped, as he saw he couldn't drift, he opened the car door and ran, and hid beside a hill, when they reached they hill, they shouted at him to come out, he was having second 💭 thought, until they sprayed the hill with bullets, he said he initially thought 💭 he had been hit, but when he touched his head, he was glad their was no blood.

They carried him and others inside a bush, they trekked for over 7 hours, inside the bush came their torture and stuffs, they drank pond water..
He said they were flogged when negotiations was not going as planned.
He said they were not tied, and those guys leaves their guns on their chest while sleeping but Dem not get mind to fúck around.

The money 💰 was gotten as cashed, he paid 7 million ramsome

There were vigilante and military 🪖 checkpoints all around..

Funny enough the guy said he can never stop 🛑 road 🛣️ travel and delivery

He says he enjoys it

Na wetin go later kpai the guy be this.

Na aspire to perspire merchant dey demonize 9 to 5.

Every business you need significant capital to start. A broke post NYSC boy can get a job and become great from 9-5. If you know how many guys with nothing and just came to Lagos post NYSC with kne bag and now having properties from 9-5.
You can use the capital you raise from 9-5 to fund your business idea

I know many of my peers over 40 that are doing great in this country from 9-5 and I know many too that went into business and have failed

Business is not for the faint hearted. Out of 10 businesses started only 3 survive beyond 2yrs and likely only 1 will make it big after 5yrs. That is money down the drain. Some may never recover from it

What some people call business in Nigeria is simply govt patronage where you don't have to deliver anything just collect money and go.

One friend was chasing a 500m Naira govt contract and they told him he has to settle with about 200m. He said he won't be able to deliver with 300m and they told him that "Shebi na we go sign off on the project, just do small thing" I warned him that if you get away with it today, another govt will come who won't know those in power today. And na your name and signature collect the money. Na you efcc go dey find about. His wife dey thank me for speaking sense into him but other friends especially in Naija dey tell am say Nothing dey happen collect am. Na the Naija business model be that

For one Alaba merchant wey blow, pepper enter the nose and eyes of 9

Even banking business of 10 banking whizkids wey start with Ovia and Atedo, how many of them don pack up in the last 35yrs

You said nothing but the truth.

There are several guys who spent over 7 years in the Igbo apprenticeship system while their mates were in the university studying STEM and social sciences.

The apprentice gets settled after years of servitude and starts "business" on his own. There's no guarantee this new businessman will have a better life financially like his friend who got a job as a chemical engineer in an IOC.

As for the contract chasing businessmen, we all know the drill. Most of them will not be as rich as they seem on paper had it not been that we have a very high tolerance for corruption in this country. Contractor wey no agree construct standard road go dey do Thanksgiving for church on 31st December about how God has lifted him this year 🤦‍♂️

Shakushaku how, the Westham players are too lazy, no runs or anything

Shakushaku as in; he gets the ball, drives from the wings to central role, runs into a body of players ; either loses the ball or plays the ball back to the player behind him.

What happens to spreading the ball across to the other end of the pitch? He does not need to always hold on to the ball till the opposition defence and midfield regroup and adjust their shape.

After Kudus use shakushaku spoil their flow, he still collect red card on top out of frustration . Smh 🤦‍♂️
