The good thing now be say, I know our standards now and it's a very very good one. I'm happy about it.

I just hope any coach that comes after Arteta would win leagues back to back to back. It doesn't matter the points he garners, let him just win league whether by hook or by crook.

No acknowledgement of any progress here if no be league or UCL win him win

I'm just glad we're at that level now. Hopefully we sack Arteta and that next coach takes us to this promise land cos e be like say Arteta na Moses

We need sack am bring our own Joshua
It is UCL, EPL or nothing for the Joshua o. Anything short of that, we no dey gree

Luverkensen manager just because of his feat.
When he has come out to say he is not leaving B.Luverkesen else Liverpool was there.
We can as well just price Pep, ask for Klopp to change his mind.
We are asking for Managers that want to come or are available not those tied to their club and do not want to leave.
Zidane is available. Will he come?
Ancelotti nko.
Managers with pedigree not some Ajax wannabe who could or could not turn out well becoz the aim is no longer progress but a 100% certainty of trophy in just 2 seasons .

The people who spent over 1BN .
I mean Chelsea did not see those manager u called to coach their team.


Well Moyes and Tuchel are available if that what u want.
It is easy to suggest for the coach to be sacked, when time reach for them to suggest the miracle worker who will replace him, dem fold grin

Emery is now our lord and saviour that was unfairly treated while Arteta is that kid that is reaping where he did not sow due to the labour of others.

See them praising Europa League final.
None of them is talking how he bottled top 4 that was in his hands instead na "clown players" dem dey blame. But if na Arteta, their hands go sharp

Suddenly, Arteta bought quality players he benefitted from

Let's pretend most of us never had issues when Arteta was revamping the squad (bar Partey)

We complained about Ben White signing
Most of us here wasn't in support of Odegaard signing
Ramsdale signing was treated with disgust
Gabriel for most part was always criticized.
Even the Tavarez and lokonga was instrumental for us in our top 4 push then

I can go on and on.

But now they are quality signings and these are the people Xhaka benefitted from and not because of Arteta coaching acumen

Maybe if Emery did to his signingz what Arteta did to his, we won't be calling them clowns here.
I never thought a day like this would come when we see fans trying to rewrite history about Emery’s time with us. Suddenly Emery is being portrayed as a manager whom the management was not patient enough with , didn’t get enough support from the management in terms of signings and had to work with bad work tools thereby leading to his failure at Arsenal .

Why am I surprised sef ? Shebi with lapse of time some people actually think Abacha wasn’t as bad a leader as we all thought. We humans are really very complex in nature sha

It was hard for every fan because it was for us to win before we bottled it...but nobody claimed it was bottled because of Pep. If there is any excuse for Arteta apart from his lack of experience, is the series of bad injuries that happened. Partey became Partey and just when Elneny was adjusting to the role, he got injured too and we had to rely on Lokonga but then it was Arteta that bought Lokonga so he takes the stick. Then Saliba injury opened our defense like apere.... Nketia tried filling in for Jesus but the rest of the bench were not at par with the 1st eleven. This is the reason we crashed... And yes Arteta takes the lion blame. But he can be forgiven when we consider othe improvements he made on the team.
God bless u for the bolded.

At the end of last season we clearly mentioned that Saliba’s injury did us really dirty particularly as regards the points we dropped towards the end of the season, but these same set of people would have none of it.

For the life of me, I will never understand how people think stating the obvious is the same thing as making excuse for the manager .

Look at this season for example, since the start of 2024 we are the team that has amassed more point in the whole of EPL. In spite of that we were all disappointed at the result vs Aston Villa. Does that now still negate the fact that we are actually having a very good season as regards points amassed and number of record wins in history ?

Personally, I haven’t seen any Arsenal fan that doesn’t commend Teta for the tremendous work he did with the team, anybody that fails to see this has an axe to grind with the Man.

You know this is a game of trophies to be won and when you don’t have a major trophy to back up your works, even the fans may come at you

Sod is a passionate fan who just wants to celebrate a major trophy and when its about to slips towards the end of the season like this, he’ll express his frustration, inside of him he knows Teta did a tremendous work with the team.
It’s like u didn’t follow this discussion few weeks ago.

Why do u think we were asking for suggestion about possible replacement for Arteta ? It was simply because they claimed Arteta no try and should be shown the way out.

If u didn’t see any Arsenal that doesn’t commend the tremendous work Arteta has done, then it means u have not read enough on this thread ni o.

We and Tottenham na bad enemies. That's understandable and known.

But we and West ham no get beef.

Verdict: I believe it's one person that's running both accounts
Tottenham will only be hurting themselves financially if they decide to allow city overrun them thereby missing out on UCL football .

They still stand a chance of qualification if Loserpool whips Villa tonight . They(spurs) will be 4 points behind Villa with one game in hand . They can drag the qualification battle to the last day as well.

I really don’t know if Post-No-Clue will be comfortable losing UCL place because he wants their fans to celebrate Arsenal not winning the league with their aid.

Suddenly, Arteta should be criticized for not utilizing Emery squad. Like say no be the dross mostly Emery by give us

Let it be known that Emery should bear his own responsibilities and not Arteta should.

Emery bought his own squad: cry baby Torreira, strong head Guendouzi, Leno, Sokratis, Luiz, Pepe, Ceballos, Liechtensteiner.

Almost a revamped team and we finished 5th and lost Europa League final. The next season we played almost an unrecognisable football and he was heading towards midtable.
Most importantly he lost the dressing room and all arsenal fans have lost hope of ever being competitive.


But Arteta came, used that same Squad to win a trophy. Revamped the team to his own(like Emery), Finished 5th then 2nd while bringing the atmosphere back while competing for the league (with some people terming it "golden generation)

But One should be heralded for Managing a poor squad he assembled and the other should be criticized for turning the team into a quality one.
Dem never really tell us wetin Arteta do them.

Imagine trying to do revisionism about Good Ebening’s time at Arsenal . Suddenly good Ebening is not as bad as we made him seem during his time with us …. Lmao 😂


I don’t even want to remember how we wail bitterly during Good Ebening’s time with us. How some of we fans deliberately avoid watching Arsenal vs any traditional top 4 team.

Omo! Lapse of time usually make people forget things sha .

No be Adeboye be RCCG founding father?
No, Pa Akindayomi founded the church; Adeboye joined as a member while he was still working as a University lecturer. He was the baba's interpreter at some point.

Some of the pastors in the church were surprised when the baba named him as his successor shortly before his demise.

Try and watch the movie : ENOCH on youtube, it narrates the story how he joined the church and later became the leader.

Sometimes ago I read a gossip online that the children of the baba usually go to disturb Adeboye from time to time for funds and he always does his best to sort them. (More like the feel kinda entitled cos he's heading their dad's church)

But the law does not apply to him because the law was made when he was already 80 now.

Pastor Adebayo will remain the General Overseer of RCCG until God calls him home.
That's what I'm saying now. Why did he enact a law that does not apply to him?

Like he wants others to be subject to the law that he isn't subjected to. Logically it doesn't really make much sense sha.

Anyways, I forsee a lot of issues in that church the moment he dies at old age particularly if there's no succession plan before his demise. I have a feeling the Children and grandchildren of the Akindayomi's will make a move for the control of the church and it will certainly lead to serious friction in the church.

Oh so this is one of the reasons behind y'all's "victims mentality"?

This is why y'all prefer to do rankadede and admit Pep as personal lord and saviour instead of focusing on the available opportunities/improvements that can be utilized to win the league at the expense of the other strong teams, irrespective of how good their manager is?

At this rate, it seems y'all would rather finish 2nd to Pep than win the League with Chelsea as runners up
grin

The situation here is actually worse than the initial prognosis
I like the fact that u were truthful enough not to counter my fair assessment of what ur issues is with Arteta's arsenal.

As far as EPL is concerned, Pep is everybody's Lord and savior in the last 7 going to 8 years he's been in the league. You may be disgruntled and unhappy with this fact but it is what it is.

Arteta is like the only person trying to something about keeping up with him in the last 2 seasons; so I understand that also makes u unhappy. No vex

Number 1 problem he has is that he dislikes Pep. I have seen him constantly downplay Pep's achievements when they do their merry-go-round arguments about Pep's acchievement on Chelsea thread.

The fact that he doesn't rate Pep, it's quite expected that he would also transfer the hate to Arteta who happens to be Pep's protege. That should tell u where he's coming from.

U can see most of the points he's been raising since yesterday lacks objectivity. He comes up with the worse case scenario when talking about Arsenal under Arteta

It's the part of him setting aside the tithe someone gave to God because his ego got hurt...so assuming God indeed wasn't all knowing and blessed people simply based on what was brought to him, na so Adeboye ready stand on the blessing they suppose receive until they apologized to him?

I'm starting to see the sense in those that call for churches to get taxed, cause it's clear these guys running these things see it as their personal enterprise and in a sense are offering the service of seeing to man's spiritual needs and the tithe, offerings and donations are the payment for service rendered.
One thing I still find amusing is that RCCG as at 2022 announced that the new retirement age for pastors will be 70 ; But Adeboye himself is 82 years old as at today.

How do u make a law that does not apply to u? How do people in the fold not question these things?

What is even more amusing is that unlike Oyedepo's Winners, RCCG is not a one-man church which was founded by Adeboye .

Trophy 1



Trophy 2





In your post, you have confidently celebrated two major trophies that are more important than the PL

Congratulations on the milestone achievement! cheesy

P.S - I never for once advocated for the sack of Arteta....at least for now

Rather, I am saying that unnecessary sentiments gotta be put aside if y'all wanna win the PL.

Playing the "Pep victim" wouldn't help the club bros.

Na PL be this - anything fit happen.

For example, Next season, any club fit just change owners, come assemble the Mbappes, vinicius jnrs, etc of the world

By that time, una go change the narrative to "ah, that team is the best team ever, we are more than happy to play second fiddle"

I hope y'all wouldnt look back and lament bitterly for not winning the league when you had the best chances (last season and the current one).

By that time, na only God knows where una go dey for league table.
All u are doing is grasping at straws and hoping the worse happens to Arsenal in the coming years. I don’tknow when stating facts has turned to “celebrating trophy “

I understand u are a rival fan and it is expected of u to think of the worse about Arsenal .

It is the Arsenal fans who have seen how far we have come under Arteta and still calling for his head that I have issues with.

How is it unnecessary sentiment to state that Arsenal are having like our second best season in EPL history as regards points amassed ? Do u have a problem with facts?

So u would rather we call for the sack of a coach who about to finish the season with our second best point haul in history?

Or we should wear sack cloth and throw ashes on our head in a season we have won record 27 games out of 37?

Where is the logic in that?

Y'all trying so hard to make it seem like we had a Chelsea/Man Utd kinda season.
