But can you compare the two degrees?

FFS, Europa League is a class below Arsenal right now. We didn't even compete in it.

I understand not having a trophy but the only team that can banter us should be Liverpool or Man City if they win the FA Cup which they are currently losing, or even Newcastle or whoever wins the CL. These are competitions we took part in.

Would you for example be intimidated by Chelsea if they win the Conference League? That's gross stupidity.
Mere attendance vs Finishing is the crux here. You're grasping at straws abeg. It's unbelievable to want to imagine that that's better.


Crystal don win trophy now. Goan tell them it's nothing now. They'll be in Europe because of that trophy.


Let's win trophies till we get sick of it, then maybe just maybe, this your stance that we're rebuffing might make sense small.


Till then...

It has nothing to do with Arteta or even Arsenal as a club. It has all to do with mentality and it's a stupid one for that matter.

Arsenal cannot even compete in the EL next season because we qualify to play the CL. That's a class of it's own. You cannot compare a second class degree in MIT with a first class degree in UNILAG.

There's a class difference. It's the reason why a club like Real Madrid can never play the Europa League even if they are going to win it.
Guy, you just talked about no trophy vs Europa trophy. What sorta mentality is that pls? 🤔
It is a Comparism stuff. I don't want to assume you didn't catch it as that.

You're talking of class when teams are lifting trophies. Madrid can go a decade without ucl but they'll continue to brag about ucl cos they have put in the work and it is pretty obvious to even the blind that This Is Madrid. So what is making arsenal fans think ucl attendance is better than Europa trophy when same champs have a ucl spot just from there? Abeg abeg. That's a goof. All these samples you're giving o lo faa. E no gel.


But the unilag grad has a free spot to study in MIT abi?

I doubt Spy watches games at the viewing center because the kind of ridicule Arsenal fans have to endure there is crazy. When Tottenham and Man United qualified for the Europa final, it became obvious this season was a pure failure and rival fans rubbed it on our faces terribly that day. Even at Manchester City worsts season in 5 years, they might still win something. So what are we even trusting here?
It's pretty obvious. The analysis of a fan that watches in a naija viewing center is different from the one that doesn't. Place where bants dey enter skin and fight dey happen?? 😂😂

Abi!! What’s the point of trusting the process if it’s not to win a major trophy. He is downplaying what we’ve all be craving for the past 5 years.
They can't see beyond their nose. I keep saying the ptsd from the Wenger years can't allow me be lowering expectations because some section of the fanbase are so deluded they'll prefer 2nd to trophies. What is it with this section and trophy of position sef?

They're definitely the same set that celebrated finishing 4th as trophy. Cognitive dissonance nla.

Then we want to bring Garcia for 35m as back up, 35m for backup keeper?

No more wasting funds for arteta 🤣🤣🤣
Just saw Tommy setford is promoted to senior team. Is that a possible sign the Garcia chase is over?

So if we had finished 6th to play Europa League you would consider it progress?

See ya self?
Stop trying too hard to justify what you wrote abeg its totally unbelievable that you'll even want that for this club. Habaa now.

Marking attendance over Europa trophy.

Should i make a list of irrelevant clubs that have ucl attendance allll the last 3 decades and keep marking attendance and nothing to prove they are more than mere bystanders? Kaiiiiii🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️


If this is the conclusion of it all, why TRUST THE PROCESS ?

It is true that Thomas Partey did not take part in Arsenal's Photoshoot for the new kit. Not sure what the reason is yet, could be because the club is undecided on his future.

Chloe Kelly who is on loan and isn't confirmed to stay at Arsenal next season took pictures.

I love the attack sequence of these guys. For what it's worth, this very sequence is missing in the senior team. That was a flash of Saka/Yamal from Maigari there.

Na hair these ZA boys bring come ni?


The age just funny. I think the new wave is doing all to make these players play double tournaments. Same for female cadet teams. I dunno for them sha.

For now, they're in charge but that net needs to shake

Opebiman:
Why should any student forget all he/she read for in just a few days ... 48 hrs is enough to revise and sit back . If you spent 3 weeks to write an exam and failed Nd you know you did not fail, you shouldn't have a problem taking a resit in 48 hrs.

You want JAMB scrap but you cannot propose one single replacement.. JAMB was created to actual structure the admission giving process in Nigeria.

Post UTME and NECO should be scrapped as it is corruption filled and unnecessary.

WAEC should upgrade to CBT
You are part of Nigeria's problems if this is how you reason.


International exams have weeks and months to prepare for exams but you're here justifying 48hr for an exam that if they fail, the Prof will brag about Anti-cheating system?

Why are you talking like this? Why are you refusing to see the factors that caused initial failure and building a myopic POV on that?


Replacement is not what we need. We need a more direct system and scrap this 1978 one that all the modifications cannot help progress an iota of the entire education terrain. Intelligent discourse and minds will proffer better systems with credible use of technology and accountability. Till then, 1978 has outlived it's relevance

True. But if you study Arteta you should know he doesn't follow such rules.

Besides when you look at all three (that's minus Osimhen) they have similar attributes. They can play ball. That's why I suspect Arteta wants them for the calibre of players they are.
That's the issue. He's not the one that really wants them. Berta is. If Arteta had his way, na Vlah or Sesko. Infact the Isak craving isn't actually Arteta's. That's all we need.

That man wan die on system player when his boss is tweaking things year in year out. Lol
EducationRe: Sowore Calls For The Abolition Of JAMB, NYSC by daveP(m): 11:34pm On May 14, 2025
Fact. We don't need Jamb especially as the reason it came about has failed entirely. It is a bottleneck that's having pseudo-progress but it is getting worse and mediocrity has taken over. Fake tears and apologies can't fix this rot. He is right on this.

We need intelligent brains of the highest level to converge and restructure this education sector of Nigeria. The best brains definitely are not at the helm. They're not even proactive. They didn't even remember in all their board meetings that setting exams for 6am for kids was a security risk all rounda. That oversight alone indicts the entire body called jamb.

And as if that wasn't enough, they are ordering a resit under 48hours for an exam that will decide the year of a youth? So 48hrs is enough to study for such an exam after the depression they initially caused. Who are these guys at the helm really? Who are they??

Gyokeres is not coming to play as an outright CF. He is coming to play a a false 9 or deployed on the LW as a goalscoring/inverted winger same way Arteta used Aubameyang.

The only reason it will not happen will be a change of tactical approach which will mean getting a new CAM and creative LW similar to Doku.
What are you sayinghuh You go to the market full of false 9s and buy a trad 9 to come play false 9? Are you trying to make me laugh today??

Looku is a gamble he has failed before in EPL ( for small teams like Everton and Leicester), he excelled in Bundesliga and Serie' A.... maybe the English game is not for him...Williams is not PR, the guy is an upgrade on inconsistent Nelli and Trossard.


What the team lacks is high level games changer to change match dynamics ( now everyone knows take Saka out of the game and they're Done)...we should be ambitious and ruthless, half-baked player would get us nowhere
That wasn't failure. He just got down the pecking order and was still a stand out in those teams. The PK wrapped everything up and because he now succeeded with Atalanta, by comparism, it looks like a failure. It doesn't mean he will fail again. He's way better. If Lukaku can, why not him? He's way better than many EPL wingers right now tbh.

As for Williams, I don't see how he's better enough to be tagged a game changer. That why i see it more as PR. Of all the players connected to us, his is the highest you'll think he's some top gun in the league he plays currently.

That Saka take out is why we need to even find deputies for himself and Odegaard.

Dembele sits out a semifinal tie and still psg punishes us. That's what we need too

Good Morning @Seun

Pls I'll love to request the creation of the fully independent NL DMs system so users can send messages to themselves without it necessarily linked to an email whatsoever.

I remember those years and surprisingly i got one message from a NL user today but the email is gone and i believe the modification of that feature to a seamless and direct one will be quite helpful.
