If Tinubu could govern the richest state in Nigeria and his biggest achievement was leaving behind a plan for his successors, nobody should expect anything from him.

I live in Lagos, but I thank God I work remotely and online too. Before now, I'd budget 11k for 50-litre PMS for my gen per month. Now, 12k cannot even fill a 25-litre Jerry can. However, electricity has significantly improved - probably because we are in rainy season.

Hello, just about the remote Job sir.

Sharrap!!!

What was his appearance and stats in the World Cup football and UCL he played? Mind sharing?

You told us Barca and PSG would jostle for his signature so he can carry them to win all competitions.

You are just emotionally attached to this dude nothing more.

Guen was so good with us Emery didn’t take him to his new job when Arteta kicked Guen out.

Their so called new Viera… rada-rada.

You are the one who gets hardon whenever Guen is mentioned..Does his long hairs remind you of your MiLFs?

You're the one emotionally attached to the boy, Arsenal fans have been discussing issues lately on this thread on interesting matters..we no see your own contribution since it isn't about Guen who lot's here have closed the chapter....
Last time I saw him was at the world cup and UCL and that puts you to shame who painted him like he is a championship level.

Radarada.

iamoyindamola:

Fkhalifa ngbo

Shey he has played UCL and world cup football...

.I thought by now he would be struggling to get to Luton's first11 from the he was painted by that person

Iresi gbona dey ooo

Here we go

Rice must cook well o ...else the name go sweet do troll o

Btw, I keep seeing Rice Odegard and Haverts in midfield, with Zinchenko at LB...if I were to be an opposing coach, I'll just focus on attacking from midfield to the LW..

Better partner Partey and Rice or bring Labia abi lavia if Partey goes

mostob:
So Newcastle signed Tonali, one of the best DLPs out there. To outsmart the FFP rule, their owner, through one club in Saudi Arabia signed Neves and will in turn loan him to Newcastle for 2 years. That's smart.

Newcastle dey cook o... Neves, Tonali, Bruno, Willock, Joe..

Is Tolani that good? Who does he play like?

Roland17:


Allow me recover from this choke job wen just happen na

If you see how my friends and family members supporting other clubs dey insult me ehn! This one no be yabbing again..

Any small conversation go just turn into how Arsenal bottle/ choke league! I don block some of them until I figure how I will live my life without them for a while.

Worse is when they now taunt you West ham have and Mancity may boast of European trophy ahead of Arsenal

St Obi gringory base
This govt go sweet our belle

Spy360:

You want him to lose his final game so that you will have points to criticise him.

Ashi gi

I no be sadist, I was never Xhaka's fan, infact he was the reason I loved Guen, I just wanted any other midfielder who has swag...
But I must say, Man tried a lot, he scored, assist, played well and won many's heart...
From being booed to becoming fans fave..
That's massive. He is strong

Granite Xhaka, the player I criticized the most, I give you respect, you fought hard and rewrote your name in Arsenal's history...Good luck to you on your next move.

Btw, What would it cost Arterta to start or feature young players in this game? I maintain my stance that Arterta is first 11 Manager, he would only do well in the competition he priotizes next season again.

U20 World cup don start, Arterta should scout youths here na
At least he benefited from Emery's youth project

daveP:
I hope Edu and Co will realize they need to be swifter with transfer talks. Can't imagine forest were swifter to buy 40 players and they survived. If we were swifter, we won't be here.

Teta has his own shortcomings, but he too dey protect these guys. They need to be dragged too. How will Awoniyi have more impact than Jesus, covering less distance in total? Chai.

As usual, we are in Transfer window moment, i expect less. Low expectations for anything glad. Dey fit ruin the Rice deal. Just watch

I doubt another CF will come in, Nketiah will be the back up.... someone rightly said Jesus wasn't supposed to walk straight into the team after recovering from the injury...

Arterta only want his first 11 and play is just one pattern...he should learn to tweak tactics..
The Rice deal is 50-50, except his net spending would be around 60M(i.e from sells)

Same old same old same old
Putting fans in sifia pains as usual..
Shameful...
I don't pity those still attaching their heart to this FC.

daveP:



One definite mistake of Arteta was returning Jesus right back to the XI. I can't even recall the last time he converted after 2 chances again. Smh. That was a mistake. Kane coming to this XI would mean we need to change the entire setup and return to counter attack football. We are possession based and can't crack down defences that sit back comfy. That's why most passes are between Gabriel-Partey-White than Odegaard-Saka-Xhaka. Everyone now knows they easily pass back will small pressure than risk a crack down.

Jesus is a Lacazette type of striker, they make the attack flow, but they don't bury chances...their type requires a different kind of striker to come off the bench and change things up.

mostob:
Thank you. Shows you understand the main point. Relate and compare what you posted here to Arsenal's situation this season.

It is the same...
How can I plan to make 5M, then already seeing myself almost getting 10M, and later on consoling myself for not making the 10M since 5M was the target.

What I don't ever wanted is Chelsea and City win UCL ahead Arsenal... Now City are about to

Lush100:
One of Mancity or Milan will bottle it at UCL final....no be do.

Even if arsenal reach final once we no win....some people go lament.
Na eem dem hammer Real madrid....na the same real Coach wey win am last year oh.

Una so una lament for Wenger.

Wenger sef reach UCL final.

U see person dey score 53 goals for a team.

U think say na ordinary.
Una wan 20 years old Saka to die for pitch because una no carry EPL.

Neither of two are sides are BOTTLERS, Inter Won the league when the opportunity presents itself few years ago..City are also known to kill teams....I don't trust City to lose the final 4-1, it is what Arsenal can do.

Madrid are allowed to lose, they are serial semi and finalist and Winners in UCL..

The management should have utilized Saka well, no replacement nothing nothing

mostob:
But they try na...semi final fah. You forgot Madrid and Bayern are way more experienced and has better squad.

After defeating Lyon and Fc Porto at 2nf round and Quarters, those are strength to Strength games, you could win, but losing a 4-0 lead? Even with their experience and better squad, you don't bottle that lead if you want to achieve greatness

iamoyindamola:
Have never invested in arsenal as I did this season
The pain is unbearable,I dan even plan giveaway to celebrate our ghost league trophy

So many sifia pains they put fans through..
I know a guy in my area who has been looking forward to May to come celebrate with me, I just dey hide am...Him think I still be die hard fan.

mostob:
Jodera, UCL and EPL are different competitions. If Arsenal should reach the semi final of the UCL next season and lose to Madrid or even Bayern, the players will be applauded. That is it. You can't compare both scenarios.

You can't lead Madrid, Barca and Bayern with 5-0 in first leg then bottle it in 2nd leg with a 6-0 loss and you tell me I should applaud? I won't...that's weakness
Normally those teams are favorite but when the opportunity presents itself, then grab it...that's what some teams do

Jodera:
Lol... The way most guys here wailed last season when we lost out on top 4, you'd think we'll never make Top4 again. In fact, if few of us have any power then, dem for sack Arteta forgetting how the team played and that just few quality additional players and we'll get into top 4.
We fail to see the bigger picture sometimes.

The issue is that you're comparing Arsenal of latter Wenger years to this one. Those ones were serial bottlers and most of the time not ambitious except one or two players all due to the mediocrity Wenger allowed. In fact, that 2nd position we took was a fluke cos I know when other big teams sit up, we'll be done for. That team was on a downward slope and the last decades proved so

This arsenal is different. It's on an upward drive that needs few quality additions to become quality challengers again. I wonder how you didn't see it when you were one of those who saw Liverpool's upward drive under Klopp even before he won his first trophy.

The only reason dem Saka and Odegaard would go is if arsenal and Arteta decides to show no ambition.

So far for the bolded, I don't see such cycle repeating itself soon

1st paragraph....

I insist both this Arterta and the previous Arsenal sides still lacked that killer instinct to achieve the big prize at hand, it has always been let's take positives...

2nd para
This Arterta side have also bottled Europa, Top4 and EPL

3rd para
It didn't take Liverpool too long before they won those big prizes ( Top4, EPL and UCL)

If Saka and Odegard sees it's just all near success, they would jump ship to big winning sides.

Jodera:
This is the long and short of my thoughts and opinions.

Calling Arteta or the team a failure as if they did a disgraceful something I don't just understand. This is just branding all their efforts in vain or refuse to see the progress just because they punched above their weight.

If it's from rival fans, it's understandable. If It's pouring out your grievances and disappointment, it's understandable.

But trolling your own team for trying to win the ultimate goal but it didn't happen? C'mon!!

Arsenal can make their most die hard fans troll them...I have seen/read lots of fans doing so ...

It's quite disgraceful to lose the league in that manner, it eventually depict the Elephant story of trollers.. I was expecting the team to let City work for it till the last day, but Alas..
.0-3 loss at home in a 3 games to go.

As it is, Many fans would lose confidence in the team in achieving top target prize... But some cool fans would still keep singing " We try we come again next year".

Don not be surprised if Saka, Martineli's and Odegard all respond to big clubs who can help them land big trophies...

And that has been the Arsenal story over the years, Build, almost there, lose key players, recycled pattern again and again.

Spy360:

Their performance today showed they aren't as good as we thought. They were clearly beaten today in their home ground. I can't see a City side, no matter how poor they play crumble this low.

They are good, they beat Brighton2-4 earlier this season...
The thing is Arterta and the club didn't plan well for the tail end of the season...
Most of thses players are Jaded...Saka has played almost all games...Martineli's Injury is imminent..No proper replacement or strong personality on the bench..
It's all about the first 11 and InshaAllah...

This is serious

iamoyindamola:

If we still they Europa up till now the league no go pain me
City are fvcking fighting for 3 titles ATM

If Arsenal still dey Europa, maybe they'll be dragging 3rd and 4th... Injuries and fatigue would have derailed since.

Shegzdave:
😞
I don’t understand why some of our fans are cool with mediocrity

You had a chance to win the league this season and you bottled it but we’re suppose to be satisfied since you overachieved cause the aim is top4?

I don't get, those opportunity you die there, even if you'll lose the league, not this way..
Even if it means the club splash the money in January TW to strengthen and fkn win that league.

Roland17:


We are blaming Man City this time around for chasing us. That is our story and we are sticking with it.

Roland17:


Na we be fake fans my brother. Just make sure you don’t criticize Arteta, otherwise, I hit the report button ontop your moniker!

Arterta no Sabi manage squad, he is only a first 11 Manager...
He is trying but still makes mistakes and wrong decisions

iamoyindamola:

The original fans are okay with this near success we are just wannabes

Shior..
You are trying..
How can you win Newcastle away and lose 0-3 Brighton at home.
Football is funny
What are they smoking at the Emirates

Spy360:

There was no way we were going to succeed head to head with City. Arsenal team was overrated. The players aren't as good as thought. The formation change was good and helped us through the season but change was not sustainable.

We go again next season. Hoping that this time there would be further improvement as we have seen. Title next season is no excuse.

This Arsenal team overated?

Roland17:
You want to know if Arsenal bottled the league?

For the first time this season, majority of the fans left the stadium after we conceded the 3rd goal. The stadium was blank.

I wonder if those ones feel we are overachievers since the league was not the goal and agreement.

Only if Leicester had reasoned like that, they wouldn't have been crowned champs that year

This near success syndrome at Arsenal is something I can't understand...
So close to UCL in 2006
So close to EPL in 2008
So close to Carling Cup of ending trophy drought in 2011
So close to Europa 2018
So close to 4th 2022
So close to EPL 2023...

Always so close mad shattering fans heart

Same Old
Same Old
Same Old

Some are suffering and smiling, some are already used to heartbreaks with consolatory write ups everyear...

Arsenal keep giving me reason steering off and attaching zero emotions was my best choice...

Imagine the sifia pains I would have been to.

iamoyindamola:
With 150m prepared for arteta to sign more players
We still need to sell
Outgoings
Xhaka he had a very good season but one moment on madness always ruin it
If we can't sell him atleast he should be a squad player
Holding must go, he's not arsenal level I have nothing else to say
Mari we are collecting 6m from Monza not a bad deal I think we got him for 8m or so
Elneny abeg release him or integrate him to coaching crew
AMN please release him
Balogun unless we sell nketiah I don't think we need balogun, we should sell him and put buy back clause
Patino, azeez, and that mexican that went to la Liga 2 please sell them all
Tavarez if tear knee is going tavarez is a good back up I still believe in him especially with the kind of defence we have
Tomi should be a back up or we sell him and get walker peters/Tariq/Aaron's
Nelson should go abeg I no too trust the guy especially when I remember Sancho and they grew up together e they always vex me
Peperempe we have to put him on jiji or Amazon to get a buyer🤣🤣
Viera should go on loan with option to buy
ESR arteta should decide his plan with the lad

Incoming
Rice I do t like this guy, I don't think he's worth 100m atleast 50m
Lavia or caicedo is better alternative or d.sow of Frankfurt
We need a winger to compete with saka badly
We need another RCB
We should try to get vlahovic I think we need him now
I trust edu and arteta to spend wisely atleast their transfers have been 8/10
Any update on tielemans and the Frankfurt defender that's coming on free transfer?

Elneny joining coaching crew
Man is the oldest serving player in the squad, he deserves a job at the Emirates
