Let's be real, e get the kind chance your teammate go miss up front and your mind go cut in half. If GM scored that game, im very sure the worst result would have been a draw. Its demoralizing to be seeing that every game from same player, whether he starts or he comes from the bench.

Rem i asked that why is it that our best chances in dire moments usually fall on him? They better work on his finishing in the laboratory. Im fed up.

Wetin you say make I talk na? Baba start season say the only way we can beat the bald bi-polar to the league is to be perfect. As we don draw, come lose today, shey no be to commot mind?

Anyways, we are only 8 games into the league, which shouldn’t hurt us so much. Liverpool play Chelsea tomorrow, we have to hope Chelsea get a result. A draw, better still a W will favor us. City have an easier run of games until the end of November when they take on Spuds.
If Chelsea win Slot, Slot go vex wan beat us next week without a key defender in our backline. Trossard nonsense pass just spoil everything. This man wants to bid his time till January and most likely buy just a player or none. Kudus buy won't help if Ghana goes for AFCON grin

I really want to strangle Martinelli for that waste. Merino na squad player in the here and now. Man lacks the grit for me to take a game all by himself. Something that Ceballos and Xhaka did well years ago. I'll give him time as expected.

Anyone not expecting a lash out don't love this club enough. Considering who we want to OUTSMART. ESPECIALLY as Slot don join.

At the end of the season, I can’t wait to read we lost the league because we were competing against Pep!
Lile Bournemouth is 14th for Heaven's sake!!!!!!!!!

What sorta carelessness happened tonight?

If i am the manager of a bottom 7 team, I'll begin to target ways to make Arsenal players to commit. Because it is almost sure that MA will lose his head and the players will begin to do crap.

Thank you
Let’s trust the process
I won't lie, Sterling is not the kind of player you rely on when things get heated up for your team such as a red card. When it was 11, see how slow and annoying he was. 10men involves pace and decision and he can't offer that. So his removal is justified to me. He isn't tracking back and so that gives advantage to the faster BOU players. He couldn't even sync with Kai when that one was winning all those aerial challenges. Ethan should have been the one coming in for me though. Guy has the ginger for a 10man team to look 10.5men at least.

All sane Gunners saw the new UCL format and the even tighter schedule and knew the realistic and most practical thing to do is to pump up the squad and reduce the minutes of Saka and Odegaard. In a few days another game night and then Liverpool. grin

70% of this loss is on his head, Arteta.

Man, will you get your subs Right and on time?

No matter where you stand, you cannot tell me we have not been pushing our luck over the last 3 games or there about. I guess we may as well forget the league..
Imagine this era being blamed on two things

Lack of backups
Manager's trust issues


Two key players of last season that we raised concerns over fitness due to burnout are out and the RW is as good as dead. He went for Sterling that will not ever bring half of what Saka or Nelli can offer. That aside, see the rubbish Martinelli is doing with chances.

Bury your chances. Iffulike play rubbish for 90mins but bury it when it comes. Kilode sef? undecided

In moments like this, we ALWAYS cant even mention Kai Harvetz. He's just there. Best verb attached to his games are "trying" and "running"

MA suppose learn lesson from this. This is unacceptable all rounda.

None of this would have matter if two clowns from the LW used their sense.

Trossard setting up the red
Martinelli unable to do the basic thing that would have made this game ours. For this game, I'll pick an Armed Musa over him. Nonsense

Our complacencies have finally caught up with us. I remember saying we were getting too comfortable coming from behind against these lower teams. Well, here we are..
Personnel no dey we blame lack

Personnel kon dey, we see our manager acting the clown and the fool all in 1 week.

It's time to tell the boys to wrap up this nonsense. We seem to be the ONLY team in top 6 raking up yellows for time wasting from throwing and freekicks. They better not lose this game.

Omo!!!! I’m worried for our right hand side of play.

I hope we can still cook with them.
If Sterling drop Assist from there, then it was a successful gamble. It is truly worrisome. No bite. This is why buying deputies earlier was needed. So they can factor in their time to acclimatize before we start worrying about sync and bite.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by daveP(m): 5:53pm On Oct 19, 2024
Sterling is expecting White to be few yards behind him before he does what he ought to do as RW. Lol

Oga better just focus on playing with Kai for now

Nigeria need to recover the pride of hosting caf competitions b2b.

These North Africans are beginning to feel like demigods on this CAF table. They feel they're doing Caf a favor and so they fit hold caf for neck cos without them, caf go be like LGA for Zamfara.

Imagine just Angola and South African being the only ones that have facilities down south to host a caf top grade.

West Africa dey try, but how many can do it b2b like Morocco currently? That's where Nigeria ought to use this and get ambitious once again. Or are our glory days all tied to Issa Hayatou tenure? undecided

Maybe they should learn that from Sporting Lagos fans.. Those guys with all the drumming will just come up with the chorus "Lets go Sporting, Let's go".
Even that doesnt stopped them from relegating 😂😂😂 I loved it then sha
Lol. That's why it's fans. But it left an impression that in next decade you'll still know its Sporting. Just like YNWA and North London Forever does with Liverpool and Arsenal. Then see Dortmund and Fernabache with tens of thousands flags on display. Players feel these things. They admit it. That's why Anfield remains a den in England.

We need new tunes and moves that shows that assoc is creative and impressive

If anybody here has access to the Nigerian Supporters Club, pls i think it is time you make them aware that we're no longer in the 90s and that they need to add modern ideas to their representation all over.

Let them add new, fresh air stuff(gestures, solidarity, unifying choreography) to their entire package. Dem still dey use "he's a miracle working God" till now. Since i was born........
I've not heard any new tune from the band. The NSC don't have moves to make other fans to do gestures together. See fans elsewhere having one leader in front and everyone does what that leader do. From claps to chants to synchronized moves that overall adds ginger to their players on the pitch.


I can boldly say there's some level of disconnect between the fans and most of the players. That needs to change. It needs to be SEEN as well. Fans build atmosphere before games that gives 2 teams goosebumps as they exit the tunnels. That is lacking with ours.


The tunes may not be dumped anytime soon(we too dey shout Change is constant, but we go use time meant for change deliberating on if things should be changed)



Im personally bored whenever i hear those tunes. They don't foster or ginger unity as much as an individual display on the pitch(eh eh eh, oooohhhhhhhh) when a player dribbles.


Abeg. If you sabi anybody wey sabi person wey know what to do to bring fresh air to supporting, allow.


N:B i hope their so called court matter over warring factions is over.

A lackluster 2nd half for me. Tiredness was evident in too many errors, including misplaced passes. I counted 22 between 66th and 90th minute. Kilode??

I hope Harmony gets her scoring boots vs Ecuador sha.

That backline were comfy. Jezer(7) tried but no teammate to help her. Else, story for different.

Effiong's ball sense down that wing>>>>

I just wish all of them were faster in the box 18. Too many delays or indecisive moves.
