Where do we have upgrade compared to the current set up?
Isn't it obvious at least from that pic?

Me I'm no Zubi fan so I can't call him an upgrade.

Even with that XI, we still need deputies and a CAM

Sadly, we have carried the foolishness of revenue allocation erroneously based on land mass because of political factors to our institutions of higher learning.

Universities, to an extent like a church is not based on buildings or land mass, but on people and professionals operating the system.
So, you have Universities with one building and hundreds of off site campuses, and now we even have virtual Universities without physical buildings and certainly no land mass, yes, no measurable land mass.
Nigeria is apparently a country where irrelevant things are positioned to carry more weight than substantial issues.
It's like judging the best student of the year by say how well they dress, not on GPA, not on attendance, and not even on research efforts.
Who did this to Nigeriahuh
It's an IQ problem.

Since Secondary school days I've been hearing this rubbish land mass bragging and hype, yet none of them fit enter better rankings for Africa, talk more global. They can't even catch headlines for anything catchy and innovative without international funding or support.

Admitting students in millions to generate funds from then and expulsion next. Rinse and repeat.

A department will have 1500 students and 1300 will be on F and they'll be proud to post results and blame EVERYTHING on students being unserious when even the lecture environment and methods of learning are all crude and archaic.


The least is Agric Empire and yet they can't do that. Na to dey wait for funds from here and there naim dem sabi. Smh

Omo!! The fact that Madrid Fans are demanding for Ancelloti to be sacked despite winning the champions league, where as, Arsenal fans are still divided wether to sack Arteta or not just makes me realise that, there are levels to this shiit.
ptsd of wenger era has made them to forget what bouncing to trophies looks like. W
And since we got rivals, the ridicule of the bunch is inevitable.

The deluded fans who continue to protect and justify the nonsense Arteta is doing after 6 years is what makes this sort ridicule look ok.

Arteta goes into press conferences running his mouth like he has achieved anything. He sets himself, fans and players up for things like this
He's the only one associated with pep that runs mouth that way. Xavi doesn't.

My issue with him is that he always get defenders and goalies instead of strengthening the attack when it’s obvious we’re short in that area

None have a Sport Empire

He doesn’t have a say in transfer window but had the power to send Ramdale packing, had the influence to initiate Merino, Calafiori, and sterling’s signing. He is currently being praised by many of our fanbase for Zubi’s signing.

The funny thing is that the set of fanbase on here, twitter and reddit saying we don’t need a striker because we score goals are now saying Areta was not backed to get a striker. You guys should piss in one place so it can foam.

It was obvious we needed a striker, a back up for saka (since they let Nelson and Smith Rowe leave the club) during last summer transfer, what did baba do? He got himself another defender, another midfielder that ended up being a makeshift striker, and Sterling whose manager literally told he will never make his first team. Interesting thing, the fanbase rejoiced and bantered online, and shut up any other fans pointing to the lapses yet to be addressed.

I’m starting to agree that Arteta is using strong juju because nothing is ever is fault to many of our fanbase. Na dem sabi jare.
Cognitive dissonance ni. Na the issue.

Recruiting boys that don't have winners mentality is his forte

I like it.

What’s his obsession with getting goal keepers every transfer, why not sort it out once and for all.

It’s either he keeps setford or fvck off.

Ramsdale, Neto,Turner still he can’t get it sorted out?.
So obsessed with goalies he forgot a 9 is more important.

Everyone knows it is the clash of recruitment that made Edu leave. Both of them were clowns using the club as Lab rat. If he got rid of 9players in 2years then he's very much involved in recruitment decisions.


I wonder how you can even say that Spy. Haba now. Every manager is involved in that process. The exit is the astonishing proof to that for anyone in doubt of that. Haba.

I'm here watching a movie cos i know what's going to happen and all it took was 120seconds.


Im so calm because while i looked like a delulu fan 2seasons ago when i started the CF demand, almost everyone is unanimous decisive about the importance of a 9.

Can't wait for Sterling to get out. Guy is worse than Willian. 3weeks sha.

They scored while Slot was having a chat with his bench. Chai. The fans screaming made him turn to see his boys have scored.

Throwing taken quickly.

See fans🤦🏽‍♂️

wasting 30m on back up goalkeeper is madness...is like they sent this man to Arsenal after paying heavily for Ramsdale only for 2years he's not good enough, he then transition to Raya only for him not to good enough after 2years again...


Garcia would never be backup cos he's slightly better than Raya ( atleast in area dominance and stop stopping).... Madrid are even eyeing as long time replacement for TC...
He's obsessed with the goalkeeping department and i dunno why. Teams that win stuff trust their goalies. Its like he only realizes how the gk is not good but after the gk has started playing games for us. 😂😂😂

Berta tame this man abeg.

Saw the news too, he sent ramsdale away just to get another backup that won’t play 1% in the season for 30m will that be a good deal
Arteta need to be tamed, he’s going out of line, if Salford is for the future he should start building him now after all Neto didn’t even keep up to 5 matches
I now realize his sentiments is about love and hate not logic and common sense

Once he love player, no matter the underwhelming output, he's happy. Use that to assess all the players he discarded and see a pattern too, even if some played a part too.

I'll rather he makes Rams loaned than waste 30m on nothingness when that 30m could have gotten a winger on loan.

1st bit of sweet news

Berta and Arteta are divided over recruitment of Garcia. Berta feels he's not priority. Arteta feels he is.


Let the royal rumble begin.

This man wants a spanish XI with Spanish Ideas and setup, make he go La Liga and settle comfortably there abeg. No turn Arsenal to Lab or IT centre abeg.

Not only PR, truth be told she really tried this season with all round play and very unselfish attitude with good stats to go with...maybe not the best player ( even for Arsenal) buh her being local actually helped


Congrats to her for the golden boot....
If she consolidate with UWCL final showdown, balon d'Or top 2 go sure.

I love the presence of Mariona in this team. I won't lie. Same for Kelly. It's also time to begin search for Little and Foord replacements.

On a positive, this may be the first time I am optimistic going into the transfer window with Beta in charge. I am hoping for a pragmatic approach towards squad development.

I think the most important business right now before the window opens would be to get that Saliba extension because Madrid are clear about their intentions and they are difficult to turn down.

To your point, when the window opens, we have to upgrade our attacking options going into next season. A striker is non-negotiable for me.
You've said my mind. Berta is the silver lining in all of this.

As for me, it will be exhilarating to sign a 9 that dangerous aerially as much as foot. A lot wil change simply because of that aerial skillset.

You had 90% of possession against psg and you are blaming arteta instead of the players
Guy, we have had possession in all games we lost this season. I blame the players but the buck also rests with the manager for not tweaking things. You saw the Inter Barca game and how we watched one of the sweetest games with instantaneous tweaks away from the usual pattern of play both teams are used to. Alll under 120mins. Alll under 2hrs.

MA has NEVER tweaked stuff when it's not working. The only game he tweaked stuff in the UCL was that 5-1 vs Lisbon. Watch that game and you'll see there was a lot different from the norm we had. Infact possession was 55-45 at some point, one of the lowest this season.


Bottomline is that attack is dented. It needs fixing. Man couldn't fix it or prepare contingency for consequent seasons. Seriously?? And you want to best the masters of UCL? Make he dey play dey go while mediocre and average teams continue to improve and make him small


Unless he does the right thing. Till then.

I blame the players. I don't shy away from that. But you want to win a ucl tie and its Sterling, Trossard, Martinelli you want to rely on? In a semi final? You'll get disappointed.

Nobody is delulu man... how do you convince the board you need a striker when your squad produced 88 goals?

If he ask for funds and strengthens where necessary we won't be having this question.

Saka deputy
Nelli replacement
LB position as Zinny is no longer reliable.

Guess what the coach decided to squander the whole funds and to make matter worse baba disposed his attackers to accommodate more defenders.

Where are the defense should be built before attack... I want to check sth.
There is delulu in Arteta and a large portion of fans that refuse to demand accountability for all the sloppy nonsense that he has done especially in exit and entry. You said no delulu but you just gave exactly good reasons why delulu exist.

How will he just be throwing out players without the initial prep for replacement? To make matters worse, only the GK spot he's had pre-plan for since he arrived and i dunno if that's cos Raya is Spanish. Man can't even pity Odegaard and make key buys for his captain to rest Ahannnn.

If this man got Kvara and Doue, he go kee them with work. That's a reflection of poor man management since that FA cup.


And yes, the players too have a scent of indiscipline in them, they played rubbish in many games this season.

Education › Re: The Great Betrayal: How Nigeria Is Setting Its Students Up To Fail by daveP(m): 3:09pm On May 09, 2025
Jamb is set up to filter, not be a stepping stone

See the Minister gleefully saying they succeeded in stopping cheating. Are those the brains, proactive minds meant to pilot the next generation of youths into tertiary institutions? Those clowns have an unwritten war against youths and they see failure as wins on their part because it fattens their ego and stereotype.


Yes, there's loads of unserious one. But what of the serious ones too? What of the innocent, dedicated ones caught up in this mess of divergent curriculum?


And most importantly, the psychological effect of the time they set for exams.

In 2015, due to circumstances beyond control, i saw jambitee boarding buses to write their exams in Ibadan as early as 5am. That's not a time for these kids to be all over the suburbs, brimming with anxiety.


Lots of crap exists in the system, especially the personnel involved.

Jamb alone is responsible for the 250% hike in interstate movement and something needs to be done about that because it is part of the problem.

And lastly, parents need to do their part. A decade ago, scoring 220 was like a smear among youths so they don't say the score out loud. But today, 180 is heroic. Another irony is students that scoring 240-300 never gained admission but 180-200 finally gave them admission after becoming perennial sitters for jamb. Those high scores become useless. That should not happen.

Xabi is long gone. He's already talking like he's signed already. Plus 5weeks is short to try snatch that move, especially as it is Madrid. The arsenal recruitment team will need to sign 4 xabi style players to convince him, which is difficult right now.

Too slow in everything recruitment that I don't remember thus club snatching a transfer at dying minutes since Wenger days.
