BlueRayDick: Nobody is saying we should be handing out 6-0, 8-0, 13-1 results every game day to opponents. What I personally detest is the fact that we've seen games where going into the game we have the materials( players) that could win the game hands down, but 30 minutes to the kickoff when the team list is released u start thinking what Emery is smoking. We've seen this scenario playing out more than once this season.
I don't know why a coach will the materials to prosecute a game, but he will go for a cowardly set up team, only to concede and start putting in measures to mitigate a loss that should never have happened. Except some fans live in self denial, they will know Arsenal under Emery is not a step forward this far.
Arsenal should not be grinding out result against a newly promoted Aston Villa at home, even to the extent of getting red carded. If grind out result against Losperpool, Tottenham away; nobody will complain. I want to ask,The set up of Aubameyang,Pepe,Saka and Cebbalos upfront cowardice? And do you think its only Arsenal that grinds out result against teams outside top6? |

BlueRayDick: How u narrow Chelsea's winning the Europa league to being cos they are English and played against an English opponent in Arsenal I may never know.
For all we care, Arsenal was shiit towards the end of last season. It had nothing to do whether their opponent was English or German. We saw an arsenal that was on the decline towards the end of last season. We were conceding against just anybody. Our defence was shitty! The only sparkle in our game was our attack. Any decent team would've destroyed us in that final. It definitely had nothing to do with the country of origin I'd the team.
We've wọn Chelsea in finals before. At least the last FA cup we was against them. With per mastersacker in the heart of defence, we won them man for man. Now that match is one of the matches Emery and his sympathizers need to rewatch and understand what being tactical means.
Then we have the sarri factor. Sarri has never won a cup in his coaching career and he went all out to rewrite his story. If Sarri was coaching any other team, we could've lost to that team as well.
Then u mentioned pep. Like seriously? Pep played 4 different competitions to the last day! He won 3 out of those. You think his team won't get weary? Na machine dem be? Set him up against an English team in the group stages or second round of the champions league and see if he won't decimate them.
See it doesn't even make sense if Emery has played sarri twice in the league and couldn't master his game plan and lose against him in Europa final.only to come and say if Emery had gotten Frankfurt he's not played before he will win beacuse Frankfurt plays in Germany. First paragraph I already explained that in my prev post. 2nd.. Arsenal was bad in the league but very good in Europe, Napoli and Valencia are more decent teams than Chelsea and we took them off with ease, it's a final and both teams will be up for it, Emery fielded the best first 11at the time, do not forget he missed his top players in Bellerin,Holding, Mhicky,Welbeck,Suarez and Ramsey..it's better you come to agree last season was about English teams in Europe.. 3rd .. Like I've said its a final, Chelsea were superb that year and no one gave us chance that day and we won, even Xhaka,El neny and Giroud looked a different animal.. Finals can go anyway, Chelsea lost 6-0 at city and held them 0-0 the following week in the carabao final.. That Sarri talk is funny, was Sarri managing any top team in Europe before Chelsea?, Sarri will win all trophies in Italy this year, Di Matteo has never managed ant top side before, pochetino has never been to UCL Semis before against a specialist pep,Emery has never lost Europa final before  Pep has the best and biggest squad and he had easy ride in those cup games, BTW, PEP's main target is UCL and he failed, the English sides he's faced eliminated him, so you're sure he wants another? Its my opinion, Arsenal stand a better chance of winning Frankfurt than Chelsea, there was a season we won AC Milan in a dramatic game at the then toughest ground San siro, then lose 4-1 at Anfield, its a known fact, teams from same league do not like facing each orther in Europe |

Spy360: Bros some people don't have practical sense. With faulty education everything becomes theoretical.
Personally I'd rather face a non English side in a European final. For some others it may be different.
We trashed Frankfurt 0-3 away with kids, but struggle to beat Bournemouth at home. It's common sense really to know that familiarity makes things more difficult. But then common sense is not really common. This was what I meant until they twist it " I'm Mediocre fan who fears facing utd and wolves" Normal human will understand this simple stuff but Alomo and cokaine headed people won't still get it. There's a reason Pepe is struggling here, why do you think Gnabry,Adelaide,Dembele,Sancho,Di maria,Memphis depay,Blind, Vela,Coquelin,De lighte et Al....are rocking their various league, I bet they will struggle and their weakness will be exposed.. English teams are phyical, combative,close you down and gives you no respect .but they will twist it to what suits their agenda. |

solomonbrown64: ...... One comes in here and see men ranting like kids and attacking people based on their own opinions thinking they are witty.
... Every coach has his own style or how he wants to play. Wenger played through the midfield and didn't like direct wingers; Ferguson attacked majorly through the wings and Mr. Emery uses the wings predominantly especially his fullbacks but unfortunately both have been unavailable but soon after the international break over. But despite having his main attackers out (his fullbacks) , we are third on table with 15 points from eight games and still people are wailing like we are last on the table.
..... This is the same Arsenal team that will play beautiful football years ago and still lose matches like this, today we are grinding out results yet they are still complaining, same fans that were screaming Wenger out only before. I mean how irrational can some persons be?
.... No team in the EPL today will lie down for any other team. This is not Europa League. Teams in the EPL now spend money that other teams in other leagues can only dream of. TV rights money has enabled most teams in the EPL to go for most players they want. The days teams cower when they see the big four are gone. We are not entitled to any winning; Arsenal must fight for its own win, which they have been doing as well as other top teams too.
... Football is not 1 + 1 .... this team beat our next opponent today, therefore we should demolish our next opponent based on their previous performance Such thinking in today's game especially in the EPL? It's like some people just started watching football or are just watching our matches waiting for mistakes to suit their agenda. But I guess it's my fault for expecting rational people here, thread is now filled with people who see the game like beginners to football. Other football threads have all kinds of people with different opinions and views all right but here it's predominantly the negative. God help the few rational ones here if the thread can be this negative eight games into the season.
..... Fkhalifa ..... don't feel threatened, continue with your view, everyone is entitled to theirs jare. What they do with theirs is their own business. This your post is everything, I don't have energy to school these lads like you put up here.. I take solace from the fact that the neutrals and guests who come here to read can see and diffrentiate from Sense and Trash. |

BlueRayDick: How u take dey sure all these sure u dey sure  This is not a rocket science, Pep with his good team and form has been eliminated 2ce by English opponents,do you think he would like to face one again? Napoli who gave juve a fight for the league and were unbeaten on thier ground last season were flogged home and away by the gunners, and don't forget they beat liverpool and nearly dumped theml out of group stage.. Valencia I remembered beat Madrid in the league and defeated barca to win cops del rey, were flogged home and away by unai Emery's average side.. Many wrote Chelsea off in the final believing they ain't as tough as the teams we've faced, but I was nervous because an all English final in Europe will be 50 - 50 and never going to be easy. |

Spy360: Yes you surely do have a point because one cannot fault the result until he loses.
But, we aren't seeing our best team out there. Is he resting players or what? What is his policy for player selection? Because obviously it is not about performance. He needs to communicate his intentions so that we would not assume he is stupid. I want to believe he doesn't want to rush the returning injured players in the league, after the break he'll reshuffle the team..if he then persist with the team we saw today then he has set himself to end up like Wenger. |

Jencejyde: Lol no great team wins titles without good defensive shape no matter their attacking prowess. Man city are getting carried away. Meanwhile the young lads saved us in this game. Terrible second half but hats off to saka and Guen. They maintained good off the ball shape. Honestly Emery needs to make a decision on some players. Pepe needs time but he also needs to learn fast that the epl is faster than ligue 1 where he came from.
Xhaka is one game away from costing us valuable points and senior players at the back still defending with suspect.  David Luiz will enjoy the international break like pizza,his first cleab sheet and a goal, could easily be MOTM.. That Guen's tackle/ clearance late in the game saved us, how he was able to do it without conceding a penalty is class, I don't want to imagine Xhaka in that position.  Let pepe go and train and play with the U23s for a month  this league is faster than him, Iwobi will be like Mane or Sterling in Ligue1. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by Fkhalifa(m): 4:11pm On Oct 06, 2019 |
Though Emery and his boys may be stressing us,but it'd high time we came to realize this league is tough and the hardest.
I'm quite confident we will Europa if we avoid utd and wolves and could have won last season if we faced Frankfurt instead of Chelsea. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by Fkhalifa(m): 4:05pm On Oct 06, 2019 |
iPopAlomo: Emisery is a bastard....
Let's see what Fake Khalifa have to say about this. Emery's Arsenal side are sitting comfortable in 3rd position. Has gone unbeaten after the last international break, only lost a game and that's away to the European champions, no thanks to David luiz for his give away that night, even though he redeemed himself today.  |

Esther doesn’t love Frodd (Her actions showed otherwise) then Esther is just using Frodd for strategy (she debunked it) Then The feeling isn’t mutual (she debunked it) Then After the house, she will run to Nelson (she didn’t) Esther will never feel the same way about Frodd when she leaves the house (the signs are otherwise)
Now, Frodd is about to leave the house tomorrow and they look set to be with eachother, beefers still want to find things to say... When they start seeing pictures of Froddster touring everywhere, them go know. |

Olodo24: making it to the finals is already an achievement for Frodd. A lot of us never expected that. I'd say he's the luckiest of all housemates. Anyway, I believe he'll be in 4th place. Forget the known supporters of the others.... Frodd got fans. He'll at least beat Omashola....
.Mercy is winning and I'd love Frodd to be the first runner up cos he brought some sort of entertainment to the house. Omashola has been boring. Seyi and Mike has been playing it safe. Mike with his gentleman rubbish wasn't entertaining in any way. You are right, I never expected Frodd in the finals, he grew his fans from the content he gave.. Omashola was my first favorite, but later became annoying with his shouting, fighting,beefing and bad mouthing housemates.. I switched to frodd with his entertaining love story of him,Esther and Venita, it was captivating, like a series, you're glued and wants to see next show. Frodd getting evicted in that Touyo week would have been disastrous, I felt for him, and just wanted him to last more and sell himself dazzal. The love and attention he'll be getting after Sunday will get him so emotional. |

So Mercy has got a the sugar daddies pumping money for her?  Mike's also got Mc oluomo and Lagos money on him? Seyi has Osinbajo And federal govt Omashola has been covered by whole of warri.. Frodd has none and believes in grace? For the sanity and entertaining purpose, abeg dash him pity votes, the guy too suffer for that house.  |

iamoyindamola: The boy have scored 2 headed goals from a tight place Difficult goals, it gives us another dimension, Auba doesn't score headers, Laca does it a little.. That's the reason I'm tempted to convert him to CF, let him compete and shake Auba/Laca. |

Jencejyde: For me Martinelli has to start on either RW or LW for us. His work rate is un-beiliveable. His attitude is proper and if we can press with good intensity and organization having Martinelli and Saka on either flanks, we should be winning balls more often and control games . We need to bring the fear factor back. I was really and truly impressed with Martinelli once again. Attitude is what may ruin Nelson if he is not careful.
Again consistency is key and there will be times when he may have a poor game but if his good games are 70 to 80 percent more than his off days then that's fine in my opinion. I would also love to see Martinelli on the wings to pepper Pepe so he can feel the heat, but it is looking like he can be a world class CF, with the traits we've seen from him..His goals are not even the simple striker goals, they are Lewandowski,Suarez esque.... His work rate and intensity looks like he is from Klopp, he was running and looked sharp with no sign of any fatigue till 90+mint. Kudos to this regime for bringing/moulding in lots of quality young players from within and outside the club.. Tierney,Saka,Guendozi,Willock,Nelson, Holding and Martinelli are the future.  |
