Gyokeres maintains his 100% penalty conversion rate

When last did a UCL final boil down to penalties? Arsenal, your own must always be different

Wotowotoman:
Hope say you know say Champions league finals today no be night match

Lol, how won't I know. Final wey I been dey prepare for for the past 3 weeks

Their papa! They think this is the depleted Arsenal team they met last season. They never see anything!

Kai and scoring in UCL finals🤝🏻

Spy360:
Havertz will definitely start. Arteta loves the tactical overload especially from the right with Saka and Odegaard.

Gyokeres to come from bench. If we take the lead you need someone like VG in the second half to keep their CBs busy, and also if it falls to penalties.

I'll accept MLS over Merino, due to fitness otherwise Merino is the player Arteta wants in his midfield.

I'll also accept Calafiori over Hincapie as long as it's Trossard on LW. But don't be surprised if you see Eze Vs Hakimi. We don't have to be too cautious.

It's all up to the coach but I prefer Gyökeres start this kind of high pressure match ahead of Harvetz

BREAKING NEWS: Arne Slot & Liverpool to part ways with immediate effect
Liverpool

Arne Slot is to leave Liverpool with immediate effect, according to reports. The Reds manager, who has been under intense pressure after an underwhelming 2025-26 campaign, will depart the club, with Andoni Iraola having been tipped as his replacement.

Slot to leave Liverpool

According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have made the decision to part company with Slot after a turbulent 2025-26 campaign that saw the Merseysiders narrowly secure their place in the Champions League after finishing a disappointing fifth place in the Premier League table.

Reds go backwards despite significant investment

Many were predicting Liverpool would go on to retain their top-flight crown this season, given the significant amount spent in the summer transfer window. The Reds splashed out a figure in the region of £446 million, the most ever spent by a Premier League club in a single transfer window, on the likes of Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez, with all having struggled to justify their price tags amid injury issues and lack of form.

Hugo Ekitike, another signed in the summer for a hefty fee, was one of few to impress in what has a been a woeful campaign for the club, with the Frenchman having scored 17 goals in all competitions before suffering a cruel ACL injury back in April that ended his season and World Cup hopes.

Iraola the strong favourite to replace Slot

Departing Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola is now expected to be the front-runner to replace Slot in the Anfield dugout. The Spaniard has enhanced his reputation significantly during his time in charge of the Cherries, assembling a competitive squad that achieved a remarkable sixth-placed finish, improving on an already-impressive ninth place achieved in 2024-25.

Congrats to him. Wishing him success in bigger competitions like olympics. I don't want to hear doping kinikan kinikan o

For saying he's not representing Nigeria, can't you see the Nigeria flag 🇳🇬 beside his name?

Angelfrost:
That's how small clubs make money... Spend little signing the player, improve him massively, and sell for a fortune to bigger, more desperate clubs.

They're no longer a small club, their Saudi owners are richer than the Arabs that bought man city.

Unpopular opinion here. Since she has more experience and possibly better qualified, she should seek employment in another firm while her fiance stay there and gather more experience. I've seen this play out in real life . The couple met at the office and it was the man who had more experience and certificates was able to employment elsewhere because of the office policy and they went on to tie the knot. Under any circumstances should the lady in the op leave her work to become a full-time housewife else sorry will be her middle name

Mariangeles:
You know what?
You can even make and refrigerator them for later. Then microwave whenever you want to eat them.

You can't microwave a food that has eggs ooo. I've tried it before and it almost exploded the microwave

She has been using face masks since 2020 during the coronavirus era, breathing in stale air for about six years now. Her voice sounds laboured as if she's running out of breath, I hope she doesn't permanently damage her lungs with this unhealthy usage of face masks.

I don't believe the pineapple plants grown by farmers take 3 years to harvest o. Yours must have taken that long because you didn't tend to it the way the farmers do

Afriifa:
Who wants to marry you before?
I don't know what these ladies think.
You think a reasonable hardworking man with decent living would come and ask you marry him despite knowledge of your present history?
These ladies ehn, when they no longer have men to approach them for serious relationship, they trend under the mirage that marriage is not what they desire. Nonsense. You can only deceive fools, marriage is biological law for every woman. They desire it.

You and every hardworking man with decent living are beneath her standards. Even if she changes her mind in future and decides to marry, it won't be to riffraffs like you so don't go drinking panadol for her headache.

Some Nigerians take advantage of the saying that "the customer is king" and put sellers through all sorts of stress. Why would you be expecting sellers to unpack and repack several of the items they're selling because you want to patronise them? After all that stress, you'll end up not making any purchase. You went at night, do you know how many of your likes they've had to deal with all day? You buyers need to put yourselves in the shoes of the sellers once a while.

mostob:
Morgan Rogers, Kroupi and Alvarez. I'm undecided here.

BTW, I hope there are families around Trossard. He looks so lonely.

I'll pick Rogers. He's at the right age and versatile. As much as I would have loved that we sign Kroupi, i wouldn't want him to come and be a back-up player. He should be in a team where he'll be getting regular playing time so he can develop. My spirit no just gel with that Julian Alvarez.

West Ham's Matheus Fernandez has said he'll pick man Utd over Arsenal and other clubs interested in him. His countryman must have whispered some things in his ears, issoryt. I know we'll still get a solid Rice backup in the summer window

Reference:
By winning they will get the Europa ticket for next season.

But Glasner is something else.
Two trophies now and a silver disc for a club not synonyms with trophies. He deserves a statue as the most successful Palace manager in history. Team totally transformed from the days of the steady Roy Hodgson. The difference is as clear as day and night.

I made a typo, I've changed the not to now. Oliver Glassner completely changed the status of this club, too bad he'll be stepping down. His replacement has big shoes to fill

Massive congrats to crystal palace for winning their first ever European competition and securing Europa league tickets. And to think they were not even supposed to play in this tournament, now they've qualified for the Europa league they've always deserved and Nottingham Forest that snatched their slot is nowhere to be found. IT ALL WORKED OUT!

Arsenal better complete the trifecta of European trophies

This time last week, Aston Villa has netted in 3 goals

Ope o! Palace don score

Very brave of him to use his father's surname to contest in a core western State. I'm glad the voters put tribal sentiments aside when voting. Now the one million naira question, will he deliver to his constituents when voted in?

Either one that wins makes history for winning the first European trophy in their entire history. I hope palace wins it but Rayo is no pushover, they collected points from both Real Madrid and Barcelona this season

Champions of England vs champions of France, who reigns supreme?

An autopsy should be carried out to find out the real cause of death

Former Southampton and Royal Antwerp forward Victor Udoh has died at the age of 21 in Nigeria, with reports describing the circumstances of his death as “under suspicious circumstances.”

According to the Mirror UK, Udoh was found dead in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, although the exact cause of death remains unknown at the time of reporting.

The Mirror UK reports that the young striker had recently returned to Nigeria following the end of his stint with Czech club Dynamo České Budějovice, which he joined after leaving Southampton in 2025.

Udoh, who previously signed for Southampton on a three-and-a-half-year deal, spent seven months at the club but did not make a senior appearance before departing by mutual consent in search of regular playing time.

Before his move to England, he had been with Belgian side Royal Antwerp, where he rose through the ranks after joining from Abuja-based Hypebuzz. He impressed at reserve level, scoring 12 goals in 21 matches, and later made 28 first-team appearances for the club.

Reports show that he was regarded as a promising talent during his early career in Europe, with his development attracting attention before his move to Southampton.

Further details surrounding his death have not yet been confirmed by authorities.

Our first team couldn't defeat Zimbabwe over 2 legs but our team C is beating them comfortably in a useless tournament. Where did we get it wrong at the world cup qualifiers?

I am laughing here. 😂😂😂
Why did you cook what you haven't testrun at home?😂 I can only imagine how you felt.

I didn't know semo can be sugary until I saw some TT comments. I come dey wonder if e get another type of semo. Yes, if you are not using the method of adding into boiling water, you need to cook on low heat before you start stirring.

It looked like it something I will be able to pull off, boy did it humble me . I didn't boil the water, I mixed the powder with water before putting on medium heat and started turning and turning. All that turning made me so tired that I put out the fire the moment it started to solidify. Very terrible mistake. It was through the mistake that I learnt that you don't even need to turn it so much. I just lower the heat and let it cook. I've tried the mixing in cold water and pouring in hot water, it's also an ok method and very fast.

pocohantas:
It is on social media I found out semo can taste sugary. Wetin una do am wey make am taste sugary? I have never made one that tasted sugary. But at first it was not firm enough.

The first semo I made for my in-laws as a newlywed was awful, it was too soft and tasted like I put a teaspoon of sugar in it. I never liked it so I never made it when I was cooking on my own. I didn't know one needed to cover the pot on low heat for some minutes to allow it cook properly and solidify. I turned off the heat once it solidified and it tasted more or less raw. I cringe whenever I think about it. Thank God for understanding in-laws .

Before I figured out how to make it, my semo used to be very soft and slightly sugary and I hated it so much then. Now that I've gotten it I still don't like it. It's one swallow I can do without eating for years

I've never heard of that plan before. I used their regular data plan for some time and they did not zap data. In fact, I had to download plenty videos on YouTube before I could exhaust my accumulated data when I switched network.
