Own Goal snubbed in Arsenal's Goal of the Month competition

Despite scoring twice, both winners, for the Gunners already, the new signing has been overlooked in favour of "picks of the bunch" from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Olivier Giroud.

Two goals in your opening five games of the season is a great start for any player, especially when they are both winners to earn your new club four of their seven points accrued thus far.

However, it was not to be a fairytale end to a brilliant first month at Arsenal for Own Goal, who was cruelly left out of the club's look back at the best strikes from the past few weeks.

In his place Arsenal have chosen "picks of the bunch" (read: the only other two) goals from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, in the Community Shield against Chelsea, and Olivier Giroud, against Crystal Palace.

With such clinical and decisive goals, Goal have decided to pay our own tribute to Arsene Wenger's new attacking talent... even if the manager acts like he doesn't exist (or needs him).

Check out "Own Goal's" beautiful strikers against Crystal Palace and Newcastle.

Who says Wenger didn't sign an outfield player this summer? Chai! So "Own Goal" is Arsenal's top striker this season? And I thought Arsenal fans joined in making fun of Man United over own goals recently? Interesting.

D Manhunt continues while

Lagos-Ibadan expressway is on hold

Lokoja-Abuja Road is on hold

2nd Niger bridge is on hold

Immigration training dat many Nigerians abandoned their jobs for, spent a lot of money and was waiting for few weeks to finish has been suspended,

Corruption which is their watchword is being fought only on d pages of newspapers even d former NSA's charge is just illegal possesion of fire arms after all d shouts about billions and billions of naira on illegal arms deal,

Government is in d hands of only one man for over 3 months.

Denying their promises to the masses is the real definition of change.

I thought 2nd Niger Bridge was supposed to have been completed before May 29, 2015? I'm just asking a simple question o!

Freedom of speech must surely be protected. That is not negotiable. However as citizens we must also realize that freedom of speech is not absolute. Otherwise, there would be nothing like slander, or libel, or defamation.

Section 39 (1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria provides that:

“Every person shall be entitled to freedom of expression, including freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart ideas and information without interference.”

However, the right to freedom of expression, in a civilized society is subject to the right of others not to have their reputation injured. Thus, every person has a right to the protection of his good name, reputation and the estimation, which he stands in the society of his or her fellow citizens. Consequently, in Nigeria, whoever utters, publishes, broadcasts, communicates or telecasts anything injurious to the good name, or reputation of another commits both a tort and a criminal offence.

Let us as citizens be knowledgeable about our rights and it's limitations. This isn't about anyone trying to muzzle us, but about knowing what is acceptable or not. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse as they say. Even in some foreign countries defamation is a criminal offence. Be guided, if you are a blogger. Get your facts right. Don't just copy and paste. if a report is not substantiated don't help in spreading it for sake of internet hits.

I suffered tension that may have resulted to fatality in the initial first half timeout when Nigeria was losing 13 to 10 in favour of the Angolans.


Nigeria needs to pay me for extreme patriotism.

With a moniker like yours, it's not gonna happen. Talk to Isreal.

veraiyke:
hmm I tend to disagree with you. Mikel did not win Afcon for us. Criticism to mikel if you ask m are worth it. He isn't givn much to his football at chelsea. He needs to step up. Personaly I know mikel is far beta dan ramires,willian,quadrado,even matic if only he can realize that n step up his game. Nigerians like me simply want him to bring out the mikel in him. I know he is a huge talent but talent not well nurtured is lost

Barman, please give this guy a bottle of..., wait o, it's too early for that.

Some people think criticism of Mikel is about 'beef' or 'hating'. No! It's about the pain we feel knowing his potential and then seeing him play second fiddle to players like Ramirez and Willian simply because he has refused to live up to his potential. And I dare say that Mikel needs to think of leaving Chelsea now if he won't get playing time. Let him learn from players who were undervalued at their club, but became big elsewhere. A certain Paul Pogba and even his returnee teammate Nemanja Matic come to mind.

safarigirl:
2nd division? Who'll see him there? Hope the loan is for just a season sha. Congrats to le boo, greater things await you sweery

I don't think Liverpool sent him there so that people can see him; especially other clubs. It's probably till he can qualify for a work permit. Then they'll send him to a Championship club.

Yet another Awoniyi thread. Congrats to the boy anyway.

Found this on Youtube

Okay, we have heard. Please tell Buhari to his face at the next Federal Executive Council meeting. That's better than having some mouth piece do it for you.

Congrats to Awoniyi. Where is Safarigirl now. Your boo has stepped up o.

Good one for Awoniyi. Safarigirl come and see your boo o!

Safarigirl, come and see you boo o!

Don't know what LVG is up to. Now Chicharito too is gone. Left with Rooney and James Wilson. Oh and of course..., Felliani.

Walelavender:
Moyers isn't in the picture anymore. This is Van gaal's second season and hasn't hit the ground running. Get more players that will fit in to your plan and pattern. Watching them could be boring

You missed my point.

Lol. Was that how you felt yesterday? Pele.

You have found your voice abi? Hope you saw all your missed calls yesterday?

joecooper:

Lol. You nor well.

It's official. Swansea is now our bogey team. LVG may have to bench Rooney until he gets his hunger and composure in front of goal back.

On to the next jare.

LadyBoss1:
Yes but we no dey make mouth ...


Williams or Ayew man of d match wt u think ?

Which mouth una wan get before? A team that hasn't won the league in over 20 years can't "get mouth"

maum:
Will you take the full-time draw now if you could get it?

ah swear, with pleasure. oya call your jazz man now. Make it happen.

I guess Swansea is now our bogey team.

xynerise:
Deja vu

I tell you.

edwife:
Which kind score is that?Commot 2 for Man U,muki blindness dey worry you?

She's alive! Yeye. Bad belle FC

Dang. Gomis and Ayew, but I warn una before this game o! Una wan spoil my market?

xynerise:
Goal!!!!!

Mukina!!! My Mata has scored

Now you can smile Bro. Mukina, you well so? Change scores now.

Walelavender:
Since Alex Ferguson left, Man U have been a shadow of themselves. They have been struggling to beat small teams unlike before. Van Gaal is undoing the team. I dont see him staying long at Old-Trafford.

Van Gaal didn't undo the team, Moyes did. Virtually every record we held over these "small" teams were destroyed under him. Man Utd has been demystified.

chimerase2:
bros u re taking dis personal

Yes, I agree. Xynerise is getting too emotional over a game of footie. Take it easy Bro. It's still just a game. Win, draw or lose, the boys go still collect their fat salaries o.

xynerise:
It is not about the opponent. This is about Man united players. If they play good football, they will get a result.

That's where you are wrong bro. Yes, if you play well you are likely to win, but it is not a guarantee. Again, ask Chelsea.

I know we all miss the glory days where we practically strolled to victory, but we need to realise that it may take time to get back to that level. United has been demystified.

xynerise:
You just have to accept the bitter truth.

This is not Club Brugge.

And I'm sure you saw yesterday's games. Are Palace and West Ham better than Swansea?

The real truth is there are no easy games in the EPL anymore.

xynerise:
They should score man united so our eyes will open

Guy, if na play make you stop am o.
