obainojazz: APC supporters are a different breed… I rate Okpa above them  Honestly . Okpa get him 4ck ups normally but he’s head and heels over APC/BAT supporters . At least there’s consistency with Okpa and what he sets his heart to believe , but not our APC/BAT brigade. Imagine people defending Buhari for 7 and half years . All the forward loans that made Buhari pledge untapped crude to our lenders , they defended it. They defended Buhari’s government printing billions of naira and said Buhari led APC government was setting us on a path to be more successful as a country from where GEJ/PDP left us. Today they are the ones singing the tune that Tinubu inherited a battered economy . I even saw a so called FCA ( Fellow Chartered accountant ) on twitter agreeing with Orji Uzor Kalu that Nigeria never had a proper economy since 1960 until Tinubu came on board in 2023. 🤦♂️. When Obasanjo was doing wonders between 1999 and 2007 Nigeria no get economy abi Omo! These people too do! |

neztar: I watch aljazeera everyday and I see the genocide Israel is committing in Gaza in name of fighting Hamas. I'm a christian but I don't support Israel because they are terrorists and don't deserve to exist as a sovereign country. There is blood in their hand yet US keeps backing them by supplying them with deadly weapons to fight eastern threats on their behalf Give us reasonable reasons why they don't deserve to exist as a sovereign country. Remember in 1947 United nations voted that Israel exist and Palestine exist as separate nations but Palestine were the one's who believe otherwise. They chose to pursue annihilation of the Jews instead of establishing their own nation that can compete with Israel on all good fronts. Since u said u are a Christian , one would expect an unbiased view from you since Christian are a tiny majority amongst the Jews and Arabs. |

Roland17: I agee with you on Zinny overall but in this game, Kiwior added absolutely nothing, if anything he was just as much of a burden defensively like Zinny would have and added nothing offensively, so what value did he bring? Arteta could have played a back 3 if he wasn’t bringing Zinny in.
The high line we are talking about is nothing new, I have seen it severally this season. Arteta pushes his luck with it and sets up our defenders to fail because it is ridiculously high. There is high line and there is Arteta high line. I mean, our defenders were playing at the center circle!
Remember the Bayern game in the UCL? It is this same very high line where he was trying to force the issue and Bayern punished us severely. I am recalling only the Bayern game because it was consequential. You don’t force a high line when you don’t have creative players to open your opponents.
We needed to play a balanced game, especially after going down. If we did, I believe we would have given ourselves a chance to steal the game in the final quarter or minutes of this game.
At our worst, either because of injuries to core players, change in tactics, caution (red card), we need to trust that Arteta can be the identifiable difference in securing all 3 point. I agree the highline was terrible and our attacking players should be doing better. I also think the 3 major changes of Merino starting, sterling starting and white replacing Timber on the RB position impacted negatively on our entire output as a team. Arteta takes the blame certainly for that. I believe if Saliba was confident of Whites ability he ought not to have fouled Evanelson leading to his red card. I just hope the team learnt their lessons and we bounce back with or without injury returnees' boost. |

Roland17: [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. |

Fkhalifa: 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. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by BlueRayDick: 7:22pm On Oct 19, 2024 |
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. |

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. |

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. |

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 |

nateevs: 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. |
