Timber may not start due to his recent return. Zubimendi or Mosquera might start at RB with Timber coming in later. Arteta might go with Odegaard due to pressing ability as Eze can sometimes be casual. Hincapie vs Calafiori depends on what Arteta intends to do from the get go. I really wish Havertz can start but mehn..

Im hearing Timber must play 60mins max as this will be like his 1st top game since injury. Dunno how Arteta will do this sha. My own na make we counter their yeye 316 approach. Such boldness mehn.


I still pray for a Martinelli solo run goal😂😂🙏🏾


Morale high right now.


I also hope nobody is thinking of stretching this to extra time and pk sha. Let's wrap this under 90.

I hope he finds a way to counter Enrique style of the goal keeper playing the balling to throwing to start their attack from the throw in

I believe Arteta has a plan for that already. The main issue is that Enrique peak plan was totally exposed for the world to see vs Bayern. Using a 316 approach is daring and was juicy, but Bayern still got 4goals through and through. Arsenal are more solid that Bayern no doubt. We can decide to sit back and soak up or we just go all out and shock everyone the way we did to Madrid and Inter and Atletico during group stage. That 316 is daring. Using 2 to pin fullbacks and making it hard to stop and overload.


Martinelli and Timber were culprits for the losses we got from PSG due to loss of concentration. Timber got more aggressive on Kvara the last time we played.

PSG no dey do all man fall back and that will be something Arteta will relish.

My Brock Lesnar. Make he show them pepper. Havertz should sit down somewhere with his yoriyori football.

Our corner kicks will be a big advantage. How i wish we can find a way to have Big Gabi, Merino and Havertz in the box at the same time

The corner go too sweet if all dey true true. My own na how coachie wan do the starting xi now that merino is back? I know Timber and Cala go start. Odegaard and Trossard go start too. The rest i dunno. He fit wan start Merino join or Kai.


The doubling up style that Enrique used successfully against Bayern, Arteta go definitely work to counter it. That means runners with defensive contribution will start. Two blue each on fullbacks na hin style. Means forwards have to track back. But with Brock powering vs those CBs, card and fouls won up high go plenty. That's enough to disrupt rhythm for Enrique.

Catch them young. Or is it direct?

Jeremy Monga just like Bakayoko but feints like Thierry down the wing.

Their CBs enjoyed heavily the last time we met last season. This time, they go pass through wetin those Atletico Madrid CBs pass through.

These guys have been in Budapest since na. Why dem dey post today? 😆

Tottenham a.k.a dirty Spurs are as stagnant as stagnancy. Things no really get better for them between last year and this year.

they suppose go down. But that's over 600m in championship in investments. Won't be surprised if the business side helped to make them stay in. 😂

Italy's latest friendly list. Features 3 nigerians; ahanor, ekhator, and koleosho. Young players too but kayode once again is yet again ignored. If only we can just use this opportunity of all these ignored call ups to pick him. although even if we reach out, he might still be passionate about the italian senior team since he has/is still playing for the youth team.

Kayode and Aina as full backs under Chelle go be real gas cooker. If Nwaneri kon switch for that RW again....


The issue now is the midfield is ageing and proper replacements are yet in sight.

Cos of 1 controversial +1 they wan kon dey disrespectf our Igwe. Lol.


I pray we have such a player to do epl boot b2b2b again.

Salah denying Kane and Haaland the chance for treble like Igwe🤣🤣🤣🤣

Alan Shearer doing it at 2 clubs b2b.



Meanwhile see the biggest climbers and droppers. I hope we can steal one Forest player at least.

Italy wan use indigenous managers to further bury their league. They just dey rotate all the top clubs like say dem be better managers of anything. Delulucoins plenty for Italy abeg.

Despite calls after Remo won the NPFL last season, for NPFL and clubs to work on digital footprint and presence, they didn't.

The winners of the Southie league and also the Caf CL combined attracted over 4m live views online, while the npfl winners couldn't even attract 100k for any level.


If they keep thinking that "Nigerians are football lovers. They'll come around" they go just enter gutter. They need to upgrade the Community Relationship in a Modern way, enforced, for npfl clubs.
They don't need to spend much. They can start with time giving. Kano Pillars and Shooting Stars are the two i cam beat my chest are doing that averagely well.

It's the older Generation that are NPFL lovers. If they don't find new gen z ways to capture the young ones, and things go fully digital one day, o pari.

Incoming....

The woman and the short fuy, who are they really?

I need funny moments from Saliba and Gabu. I cant wait. Im calm and yet still can't believe the day i dreamed of is right here. Oh my!!!

From Equal points

To 2 points ahead


To 4 points ahead

To 7points!!!

Unai Emery is rude.


Like I've said, we need to best City at their momentum. That's what we did. April Scare by that was overturned las las.


Noisy Neighbours coach get plenty work to do.

Chelsea must win and pray man u helps them. They also need Bournemouth help

10th loun loun. See as Sunderland dey treat World champions like championship team😆😆😆😆

Xabi might be able to persuade them to stay.

On Arsenal attack, I think it's more of combination, availability and skill set issue. Also, most of pur forwards just dey lose form.
When we're blowing teams away, Saka, Martinelli and Xhaka were on top of their games. We're moving fast and rapid.

I can also attribute our recent football model to nerves. It's difficult when you're trying to win something after 22 years. Now that we have bagged it, the players should be able to relax and be more expressive on the pitch.

Nothing go too sweet pass the near zero of backpasses. We used it to create spaces but now we've gotten what we desired, we should reserve for more technical teams and unleashed the avatar state on them all

Na dem sabi.... I just need Gyokeres to recreate that sporting video tomorrow.

I really don't want to sound complacent or overconfidence.

Coming second thrice in a row had a lot to do with us more than our rival. It's just as if we like pressing self destruct button when it is time to go all the way.

In view of this, I don't think we should have any issue competing next season.

Maresca? League is a marathon and most of the core of Pep's city are no longer there. It'll be worse if there are key outgoings for them.

Xabi Alonso? The actual rival IMO. The only thing that might limit him next season is definitely going to be squad depth. If Chelsea doesn't make Europe, it might help them sha.

Carrick? Same issue as Xabi. Squad depth.

Liverpool? Arne Slot is more interested in what goes on in another club than how he's going to improve his team. Also, with Salah leaving, their attack just lose a leg out of two.

All in all, let's focus on ourselves. Arteta is setting a standard and he must work harder to meet and exceed this standard. He should have learn his lessons by now. No more experiments and yeye substitutions. And most importantly, he has Andrea Berta and not that Mr. Chef.

Well said.

I doubt Palmer will remain in Chelsea sha. That club go need rebuild afresh cos the exit for 5 key starters is assureɗ, esp if no Europe spot


Na cos of Berta go cook na why i dont see much of a rivalry. I hope we modifiy the zerbi+flick+pep combo that Arteta used and get back tha 2022/23 fluid flow, especially with better personnel on ground. That system was brain buster until injuries.

mostob:
I think Arsenal fans go do theirs too. Bosses wey dey wear jerseys to work on weekdays con dey buy lunch for people ontop Arsenal matter. We go do parade o. 😁

Bosses are already causing wahala with it. I wonder how Dangote office go be as na Arsenal fan. One man stand for table and changed wifi password 😂😂😂

Another babe rock jersey on jean and brought jersey for her unaffiliated female boss. That one rock am asif she be Gunners😆


E go too sweet to see Saka and Eze in Lagos sha.

mostob:
Anyway anyhow, make the trophy just come home. Whether na Martinelli or Eze or Merino score. 😁😁

Even if na Raya, I no mind.
BTW, make palace fans just do normal and comot stadium on time tomorrow.

About 24 hours to Arsenal coronation at the Palace. Yessss!!!

😂😂😂😂😂😂

One game left and they don dey mock Gyokores who is on 14goals, forgetting that many winners had goalscorers with less than 16goals since 1992.

Palace suppose chop 4. My own na make they no injure any key player. Infact that Calafiori dey fear me.

mostob:
I should have gotten mine since but no time to go buy physically. And i no wan order online make dem no go deliver substandard jersey for me.

Adidas don add crop top to their collections. Ladies go too rush am. 🤣🤣
With that their high waist jeans.

You wan do parade for Lagos? Na to do cluster parades o cos Lagos is too jam packed. From Marina to Ikorodu. Another cluster go dey Ikeja Berger axis. Got to be on a Sunday though if not traffic fit spoil am.

Chelsea and Man U don too do parade for Lagos na. No be today. Remember Man U parade with Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and co? Jam packed.

mostob:
Merino is fit and ready to make the squad according to HOA.

I say give him 20 minutes against Palace. I need him to practise his jumps because that header from corner to win it for Arsenal against PSG will be so orgasmic

Merino goal will be sweet.
Eze banger will be sweeter
Gyokores shot goal will vibrate nerves

But none will be stuck in memories like the Martinelli trademark lone run goal

PSG pressing for a goal hard and suddenly Saliba heads the ball out and Rice chips the ball to an already running Martinelli. Goes past one and two and onrushing keepeer is passed 30yrs out. He looks back, noisy gunners from the stands, arms stretched out in jubilation before he buries the goal that seals the prestigious UCL trophy in Budapest, Peter Drury adding poetic justice to the fiery and emotional atmosphere

iamoyindamola:
Next season go sweet now that apari is no more there
Young managers full everywhere now I want Spuds to stay up because of de zerbi
If there is any justice arteta suppose win the next 2 epl titles

Only Maresca go give Arteta problems. Why? He's taking over a built solid team. He's been here before. His philosophy is cool for epl football.


But Arsenal will be super busy in the summer window and that alone is going to make it hard for Carrick in bs first full season to dare challenge Arteta for title. He will first have to come close b2b. Alonso go gats settle and rebuild fes. Emery? No guarantee but guy dey switch on and off. If Arteta no turn those 3 2nds to 3 1st ehn.

Quadruple still on point
