That guy dey play big man football. He's one of the team X-factor for God's sake. Just dey act nonchalant. That's the rubbish his friend is doing at Bayern too.

Na true o. That ego thing dey most of them wey comot Crystal Palace. Their forwards. Omo😂

Olise own dey do like humility sometimes. I no dey swallow that narrative. But Enrique and his video analysts are tight as glue mehn. Cos....


Make Eze sha gbera. We need one screamer from him. Then Martinelli can do his solo run to go score and wrap it all up in the dying minute. E go too sweet.

Trossard goal will be remembered because it's the goal that will eventually win us the title
I read apari is planning to rest players because of fa cup final, no wonder he supported West ham because that's his last hope

Chelsea fans full our viewing centre. They jubilated the Westham goal asif na the goal that will make them play Uefa next season. Their season is so sad they have to look for happiness elsewhere 😝😝😝😝

I agree for the Trossard one. Especially with how many games left

Roland17:
Naaaaa...Yesterday's nearly off me. I was sweating, I can't remember the last time I sat down watching our match.

Nelson's moment was just one, the goal..Yesterday's had Raya's incredible save, Trossard scoring and then Gabu's block before the VAR!

That was too much suffering for 3 points.

My guy squeeze me for hug. I squeeze am back
We scream my chest instead of my back oo😂

BlueRayDick:
Yesterday's Trossard goal was everything. It was the goal that silenced our enemies and covered our shame.

The fact that Odegaard that has been poor all season actually danced through West Ham's defence that has been rock solid all game and then he cooly laid the pass on to Trossard that was waiting patiently really touch my chest. It just erased all the frustration that has built up in my chest up till that moment.

I don't think there will be any goal that will be as important as that in a long time. Maybe our final goal that clinches us the UCL may be more important sha.

That goal yesterday was just special. It had the hand of Odegaard, Havertz and Trossard all of whom have not been in great form this season; they weren't the players one would've thought will save our title hopes.

Stubborn westham backline. 3 still follow Odegaard just after Kai opened space by running in. We really need the old Odegaard in the UCL final. Dunno why Eze dey do off and off. Abi e like UCL pass epl ni?

With the way everybody dey disturb pikin yesterday during this Westham game, if they don't grow up and become Arsenal fans like their papa, wahala go dey o😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂


Make one come home from Uni dey rock Chelsea or Barca jersey or Madrid and is shouting Hala Madrid while you're watching Dowman captaining Arsenal😂😂😂😂😂😂


Yesterday's game was mentality exhausting as that Bournemouth game wey Nelson do last minute volley.


Make we tok true, between the Nelson moment vs Trossard moment, which one really touch your chest like lorry tyre?😹😹

mine3112:
I will be so happy if Villa bottle the 5th slot and still not win the Europa.

abeg o. Let them take it

Fkforyou:
Eze is slow and Non challant.

He is not making enough impact and clearly isn't aware of the urgency of our games.

Na why I dey rate Rice highly, even when he is having a bad game (which is few this season).

By the way, WTF was Arteta thinking to play Rice at RB yesterday? I am just glad he quickly corrected his mistake.

The fact that the camera focused for long on Arteta, Heinze and Stuvenberg discussing longer than expected and also zoomed in on Captain Saka beckoning to the bench and gesturing why the delay reveals man has plan A mostly. And this thing has happened in last 2 seasons. Infact, i can dig up my post about how the lack of options in key positions reveal his lack of plan B and injuries without replacement has dealt heavily with us in the title race gaaan.
The 3 of them look Summerville finish asif na Kvara and decided Rice was best option instead of bringing on Mosquera. I was pissed and many of the players on pitch wondered why the long hestitation sotey we played with 10men for almost 4mins. Shuu.

MLS for just stay middle, Mosquera for White and with how the middle choke we fit even play 3 at the back. That would have even hampered Summerville and Soucek influence and forced Wan Bissaka to return to deeper. But
Many still no wan criticize Arteta with full chest when mess up is obvious. Something Mou and Ancelotti chop wella


I sha dey pray make he get plan A, B, and C for that UCL final. Cos Coach like Enrique fit see that kine thing and his craze go begin cook something like wetin he cook for Olise in 2nd leg😂😂


3games to Glory!!

Roland17:
Remember when people said Zubi was an upgrade to Partey? Zubi no reach, it is not even close..

Roland 3 shock me say person go watch Partey for 3 seasons and still tok thar kine thing for player wey never blaze for the same la liga Partey come from, or even blaze for at least 1 season in EPL. E pain me early on in the season cos i was wondering if people dey watch wetin i dey see.


Means e go take one full season for many fans to realize some things niyen.


Like Partey!! Partey o. Chai. Person wey we coin Partey After Partey for. Person wey Rice para for cos of UCL missed next match o. Rice never repeat same whe Zubi no dey field till now o. 😅😆

Someone explained the villa position situation and what it means in grand scheme of things.


They have to remain 5th. I wonder how they themselves go do am now they're equal with Liverpool. Bournemouth and co will be reluctant to overtake.

Battle of Positions.

mostob:
Omo.... That title must come home. Hopefully Bournemouth and Palace would have done something to Pep.

As for the rival fans, make dem save the tears till we start cooking. Even those wey dey come here, we go drag them. Sheybi dem say we dey make noise, ko si wahala.

By the way, the story is rewritten itself, No? 😁
When Fernandez missed that chance, Son came to my mind

Son miss chance and Spurs fans dey jubilate cos it will ruin Arsenal. Omo. Make Westham even survive make spurs relegate abeg.

mostob:
Zubimendi has never been in title race like thia before. He himself has been jittery and overly cautious unlike Rice who has got enough cojones to share with his teammates. Even while Odegaard was downcasted, it's Rice who told him 'it's not done'

Seeing your screenshot, na 1-1 dey ring for my mind throughout the game. NGL

After Cala wasted those two chances and Saka switched off, i begin reason draw, but after the yeye Sub by Arteta. Westham kon dey attack us like prime PSG. Shuuu

How Summerville kon dey do Saliba vex me, abi na Saliba dey dull sef.


2 games to go. Everyone better be tuned in.


The wailers didn't expect us to win the league. Now that one is slipping from their banter grip, they don turn curator of Goalkeeper fouls, they've never used it to ever say Var dey favour us then o. Na today they start. Plus all the times wrong calls went against us, they were at the forefront with bottlers chants and energy.


😆😆😆😆😆

chrisooblog:
David Raya you beauty

Why does Zubimendi play like a weapon fashioned against us these days

Please please boys get the job done now without raising our collective BPs.

These EPL pundits sef sometimes. Why the excessive moaning over that clear foul on Raya? If not that I saw the foul with my two korokoro eyes you would think it was a 50/50 decision that robbed West Ham.

He's been like that since the 6th game of this season. I gave him 3 more chances , asap maybe na settling down but it looks like that him. I no even wan reason him in imagination vs Atletico mehn. Skelly is a beauty. Infact when Zubi came on in an Advanced role(the rice role while rice played RB), guy was totally confused on where to position as though he no sabi how Skelly dey glide and pass.


Chelsea fans are the loudest right now about pgmol favouring us. I just dey laugh. I no get their time. Aston villa sef dey join the wailers.


As at January, i saw one stat table of who don suffer from var and Arsenal dey 19th across 3 seasons(meaning wrong calls against us that would have impacted the direction of the game if it wasn't called)


Instead make they face Man City.

Mathematical Dave... 😂😂😂
Oya Oya, you don catch me

Omo this march tight my chest i begin dey play chess dey look dey play.

Im glad Trossard locked on till the very end. We ruined the Sunday drae streak.

More Omo from exclamation from my mouth!!

mostob:
Guuuuuyyysssss 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I'm not doing again

You go do
You no go do ke
You gazz do do doremi 🎵🎶

The beauty of seeing 2022 Odegaard at a vital moment in this Run In. Oh my!!!

iamoyindamola:
It's a foul

It's been long var favour us sotey this correct call still feels strange in my chest.


As for league, Gbewa jare😅😅

Roland17:
People come here and blame the players if we dropped points but this was on all Arteta. There is absolutely no need to gamble at this stage. Kudos to the guys for digging in. Kudos to him as well for keeping his attacking players on despite the subs.

It was crystal clear today na him dey ruin the game. I go give DDT to whoever wan counter this

dominique:
Trossard omo ologo ooooo

New feature beside your name. Cool!!

Roland17:
Sub is about to be subbed

Arteta better get sense so such won't repeat vs PSG. Man scattered the sweet setup cos as White injure, head dabaru. Smh

BlueRayDick:
Our major problem in this game is that when we have the ball, we spend so much time with the ball in our own half. We don't push the ball with urgency into the opponent's half; our defenders and non-creativr Midfielders spend more time with the ball......

If we want to win, that must change!

This thing dey vex me since last season and that season where Bayern comot us for UCL. We dey find goal but ball dey Saliba leg mostly 😖

Our final is 30th

Thiago must score o. This Kayode no go bad as addition to Arsenal o.

iamoyindamola:
Arsenal fans doing
He's can't break it, that's why they drew to Everton, I hope the only match he win this month is fa cup final
Congratulations in advance to all Gunners
We are 98% there

your own vote go be like 1000😂😂😂😂

Looks like Mission Accomplished for all who voted. Hopefully he's not the first to break the jinx. It has caught his 4 times before.

BlueRayDick:
We understand you love Gyokeres, but the bitter truth is he didn't have an excellent season like you want to paint things now.

Most of us don't have any love for Havertz to make us defend him for anything, but while he was injured we kind of wished he was available to give Gyokeres some real competition cos at that point Gyokeres wasn't living up to everyone's expectations. Gyokeres and his teammates have learnt to play to each other's strength and that's what we should celebrate not try to pull down Havertz who has played his own little part in the club's fairy tale since he came back from injury.

It's okay to celebrate Gyokeres improved performance towards the end of the season that has seen us in the Champions league final and 3 wins away from EPL trophy, but don't make it seem like Gyokeres has been that shining light for Arsenal all season cos he's not.

Referring us to Youtube for his Sweden and Sporting highlights won't erase some of the not-so-good performance he had at the first half of the season at Arsenal.

If our highest Goalscorer didn't have a good season, to me that's an inference that solidifies the stance of those that preferred the team played to his strength since he arrived. For that, i raise my hands in surrender like Sabinus.

And yeah, i cant deny the fact that he had terrible games this season. But in contrast, the Kai fans made it look like their fave hasn't let the team down across the last 3 seasons when it mattered most. This is the 1st of this guy and i won't lie, I'll have the same stance for Osimhen or any 9 that arrived Emirates. If 9 arrives na to play to their strengths slowly or fast as so coaches can switch stuff up faster.


We wanted a forward that will scare defenders and we got him. That's enough for me. He's adapting too. And if he settles, to our advantage all the same

germaphobe:
playing to his strength is one thing, holding his own against epl defenders is another. We can argue that the team wasn't playing to his strength but we can't deny that his hold up and link up play which has nothing to do with playing to his strength has Improved. The Gyokeres of past months, would get to the ball and then lose it to defenders, or his touch would be too much, his heading of the ball used to be very bad, but now all of that has changed from what we see in recent outings. I just want him to continue being involved in general play and really create chances for others even when he doesn't score. He picked up at the right time, and with his clinicality level above Havertz, I wouldn't mind seeing kai on the bench all through the rest of the games.

Yeah. The urgency in the last few games since that city lose was never seen all season. Even from Sporting Days, Kai no be hin level. See how he rattled the Atletico defenders and one wanted to fight him after the final whistle. Mosquera and Rice had to quench the fire 😹😹😹😹

Kai can't register that fear in any elite team backline. Na why i dey laff when some say he played like Kai yesternight. Just proves they didn't watch his Lisbon days. At least highlights dey YouTube, eveb the Sweden matches too. If he settles in and continues, our wingers will have a new level of freedom we've never had in years.

germaphobe:
Tbh Gyokeres really struggled earlier in the season but that can be attributed to him not being part of the preseason and aslo jesus and kai's injury that forced him to play every match from the beginning without much understanding of our game play. I am really happy that he picked up at the right time. I read that Arteta and some staff talked him into getting back with his ex, na loneliness follow de affect our striker. Even without his goals, he's been a major threat in our last 3 games.

While we can both agree to the struggling part, also notice that almost all the Barclays era legends seem to be saying one same thing in the last 2 months

And some of us have been saying it too


They all seem to align on the fact that the team is not playing to his strength

Name it

From the CBS trio to the Man U hothead to the Beckam, to mention a few.

Its funny how this last game, he showed his beast side immediately his strengths were ticked on.


All the advantage to our beloved club las las.

Yeah. That GF matter was even recently. I think the Trossard situation might have made them to include him. The two put up a show in last 2 games as though someone switched something on.


This guy is a beast if we continue to play to his strengths. That's just the truth!! We need a box beast and not a kai regen that many fans have been clamouring for all along.

For me, i happy he stayed fit. Cos all our attackers in LUTH wouldn't have helped anyway

So the shimi and 80s pant are holy and the new ones are unholy?


Hav you ever recalled that when the so called "holy pata" were released in the fashion world decades back, it got lots of backlash but is now normalised today?


If it is not modest or decent in public appearance that's different. Leave be abeg

I can't see anyway to agree with him or anyone that agrees with him.


Our Labor laws is one of the terrible ones in Africa to start with. This social media smokescreen being used is stale. There are many categories:


Intelligent and social media fan

Dumb and social media fan

Reserved and not social media


Intelligent and skills full and never a social media type



Using category 2 to generalize Nigerian youths calls us to question the data analysing skills of a tech CEO Imo.


There are many that meet every requirement but the pay will still be terrible. Many are currently working the jobs of 5 people and getting the pay of 1. Many like that are in tech today. It a shame that a nigeria tech bros will earn less than a million from a tech company and then cross over to Bahrain and get the salary of the ceo in a low staff pay category over there. They recognised his skills and made life comfortable and introduces more programmes for him to step up th ladder.


And there are tens of thousands of such roaming round but they never are valued or taken. The generalisation then takes over and good,bad, ugly are lumped up into one smelly hasty gen.


Trainee programs is average
Work ethics and pay are terrible
Seeing someone with potential but CV is not perfect and they dump. Rinse and repeat.


Abeg abeg abeg.

No be today this fintech bosses in Nigeria dey tok trash.

And Nigerian youths are this good despite the terrible Education system? Fix that one too and see how India will be 2nd to us for tech geniuses at youth level.

Hmm. this table is long and strong sha.


The fact is men aren't used to speaking up


Evil knows no gender but in family context, if many fathers speak up, everywhere go scatter. The only thing speaking for many men in this particular situation is time. Their kids that were blinded by their terrible moms grow up to discover the entire truth and it begins another level of resentment for mothers in old age. It's a funny, sad cycle. And the fact it is the same almost every society in the world shows how one of the requirements for fathers in a situation where their silence is overtaken by loud mothers taletelling and exaggerating or hiding details that will sway judgement till the kids become adults themselves, that is a lot.



Despite the stats showing it never ends well, many women still take this route with passion. I dunno why. Expression of hurt should not suppress or repaint truths. But que sera sera

Fkforyou:
IMO I dont like the word unforgettables. But anyone is fine sha.

They broke the "curse" so no one will forget them if we clinch both. Even for reaching a final still fits.

BlueRayDick:
It's because Gyokeres was underwhelming at the earlier part of the season. His touches were heavy, his positioning was questionable and some of his misses leaves not much to be desired.

Yesterday's match was arguably his best game in an Arsenal jersey. The Fulham match too he had a great performance , but in the earlier part of the season he struggled to gel with the team.

The author of tweet probably tweeted out of frustration when results weren't going our way.

Hmmm. Okay.😅

We dey final. I no wan tok much. Make we leave am for agree to disagree.
