.....Bench Warner just dey sweet you. Dude had a few injuries at Barca in his first season and struggled in his second. He broke out in his third season there, scoring 19 goals in la liga and 21 in all competitions. That was his best tally yet, ridiculous if he did that being a bench warmer.

....Wenger had nothing to do with Sanchez output at Arsenal. Sanchez was a very direct player, quite different from how Wenger team plays with tiki taka nonsense. Sanchez was a star abeg and still is else big teams like Juve won't be calling for him. Man United was the only anomaly. You don't like him, fine, but don't you say Wenger made him who he is, that's bullshittt.

... Honestly, some of the fans here sef

I don't know when kokane turned to this, dude was my G those days, I rated him highly because he was among the very few who agreed with me Giroud isn't Arsenal material.
Kokane or Wenger must have done him shege..

Sanchez was the heart of the team then, he defends,tackles, creates,scores diff kinds of goals l; headers( despite short) long range shots,right&left footed goals, free kicks, plays 9, plays wing and 10, never hide in big games, very influential in our trophy wins, he was a Duracell.

The only player in his last full season with us to have a double figure stat in goals and assist (11 assist ,30goals) in the league

Pelegrini rated him as best in the league that year, he's clearly better than hazard for me.

He's the first to score Hatrick in 3 major leagues, SeriaA,LA liga and EPL..
He won trophies with Chile, had a good 2014 world cup and had good stat at barca despite playing a 2nd fiddle to Messi..

He might have reached his end,but he was a great asset.

kokaneprodigy:
No one will remember Sanchez for any long time, it’s even evident when you look at the ex-players Arsenal FC highlights on their social media pages. Even Giroud is being remembered ahead of him cos he gave more to Arsenal. Sanchez is a mercenary and no one gives a jack about him at Arsenal anymore, he ain’t different from RVP.

Attitude wise, Sanchez may not be respected, but on performance, only the emotional fans will turn blind eye to what he's done

Dreamswayne:
Those stupid flicks make me go mad each time I watch them play...

Giroud brought it here, we used to have players who have good foot work.
Ever since that Wilshere's one touch goal against Norwich, they have been trying it to walk the ball in the net and that only works once in a while, and it frustrates like madt...

Nothing's more lovely than,driving the ball forward,dribble with it,penetrate it and shooting it hot.

Dreamswayne:
Nkunku is better than all our midfielders right now...

I would kill for a ball carrier through the middle..

Torreira can't do that, Xhaka can't, Guendouzi tries but just isn't good at it yet, Who else?

Elneny


A midfield trio of Torreira, Maitland Niles and Nkunku will dominate that middle...

There you have three ball winners with one whose recovery is on another level... (AMN)

You have a destroyer who is able to stop attacks if he doesn't move further up the field... (Torreira)

You have two midfielders that can perform take ons right in the middle of the field.. (Nkunku and AMN)

They are all decent passers...

They are all technical...

They are strong on the ground too...

Pair this midfield trio with fast paced goal scoring wingers and Aubameyang... We will be right up there!!!

.
This is cool!

A ball carrier and fast, pacy,sharp turning, penetrating players is what we urgently need.
Enough of side way passers and ball flickers..

Torreira tries progressing the ball,but struggles against physical tall players like Sissoko,Wanyama and Doucoure..
Guendozi tries it, that's brave of him for his age and size, but gets fouled and bullied a lot, he needs to learn more and build up..

Xhaka is so immobile, one foot, he will rather send the ball on errand than try to move it up a bit, his style suits Bayern or juve not EPL..

What you opined is my dream team, fast paced dribbling wingers flanking Auba/Laca will make our forward scary, control possession in the middle and stabilizes our defence.

*MAN CITY* is the son of the rich man in town. His parents have hired the best lesson teachers to coach him.

*LIVERPOOL* always wants to claim he is the best because his father was the best during his time in the same school.

*CHELSEA* is the big bully of the class. He comes first sometimes but his rich father is never satisfied with his performance.

*TOTTENHAM* doesnt really want to be first, all he wants is to be better than Arsenal.

*ARSENAL* is that kid who works hard and before exams forgets his mathematical set, calculator & pen. He constantly fall sick during cats and exams but very active during normal classes and even corrects the teacher....all teachers keep saying he was going to be the first in class but ends up being position four...or worse.

*MANCHESTER UNITED* is that student whose father is the wealthiest and used to sort out all his courses and bribe all the teachers for him to be at the top in those days but after his father passed away and his mother inherited the whole wealth and forced him to study by himself BT pride can't let him perform. He is always number 6 because he can nolonger get marks. Instead of concentrating on today's work he's everytime thinking about how he used to perform in the past while others are progressing.

*WESTHAM* is a kid whose parents gave up on him. He doesnt purchase revision books, he dodges classes and is happy with his position.

*WOLVES* is a student always in class, not a bright one but disturbs the bright students.

*CARDIFF* is that stubborn kid who sits at the back to make fun and always among the last.

Some people who had it easy, fortunate to make it early in life or very strong to cope with the hardness of life, often see others as failure and useless..

Our society wouldn't help it, how would you feel seeing your younger ones in area living Large from Yahoo?

Pressure here and there..

My advice is so far you are still breathing, keep struggling and praying for God's grace, your time will come and we all would have made it, the time shouldn't bother you,because we all have our time.

sod09:
you said it already they tried and failed multiple times why trying again

They were successful atimes also, is it not better than safe play all day?
Only God knows how much I hate this ball recycling, fearful and zero innovation football.

Even Auba of recent have started running with the ball,dribbling and trying things with the ball..
Iwobi and guen needs to be tutored by a zaha and verrati respectively and they will master things.

With good coaching and understudying quality players in that position from the bench could make them hit the top gear.
.see sterling, he started like a headless rabbit, but with consistency, good coaching and understudying quality players, he's now the best winger.

Nketiah plays quite similar to laca, he must have been benefiting from that top strikers.

pazienza:
Sometimes I just wonder if some people understand the meaning of opinion?

Ozil cannot make runs with the ball from the deep to upfront. He is lazy, weak, lethargic and easily bullied and shoved off the ball by opponents.
Guendouzi direct style of play offered Arsenal alot yesterday and showed us a glimpse of the team we can be, if we get top class midfielders capable of doing such against best opponents.

Ozil is a ghost, a dead walking corpse on the pitch. The earlier he leaves Arsenal, the bette for us.

The reason why some fans wouldn't like players like iwobi and Guen is they are among the few who tries to take risk and do something even the big men in the team are either scared or unable to do.

Iwobi tries to take his man on,dribble and shoot, 7 out of 10 times he fails at it,(He isn't world class and still growing and learning)and fans conclude he is trash..

Guen tries to hold the ball( gets fouled or dispossessed), tries forward splitting pass( 6out of 10 times fails at it) tries to drive forward (gets fouled or dispossessed). (He isn't a pirlo or modric, boy still learning) and Fans conclude he is rubbish..

Ozil xhaka,kola et al plays safe passes,flicks the ball, keeps it simple and slow, Takes risk only when allowed space...fans bring out stats like (complete passes).

Conclusion, we need classy mobile and risk takers.

Congratulations to Auba, despite his several frustrating performances, he surprisingly ended up on a high.
I hope he gets to play around quality creative players next year from flanks and behind him.
He will score 50 tap ins, he's arguably the best striker behind CR7 when it comes to positioning.

Congrats to cech, EPL will miss you.

May God spare our lives beyond August. Aameen.

KevinDein:
Genuinely feel like we handed the top four spot to Chelsea and Spurs on a platter. Some weeks ago Arsenal had a much easier run in but they couldn't take advantage. That Brighton game was an absolute horror show. Let's make things right by winning the Europa league.

Xhaka single handedly cost us the top4, and it will go down in the history book if we don't win Europa final, why will thou commit that useless foul, 3 point from that game would have made us in top4 today.

I no get heart to watch final, you guys should just be updating us here, loss in that game will put me in sifia pains more than spurs winning UCL.

Lana1:
If Ole is serious about all he has been saying and the future of this club, na today he go begin clear out all those useless players and na tomorrow pre-season go start.

If by August Lingard, Jones and Smalling are kicking off the new season, i go personally champion all the Ole Out propaganda for here.

Hello, I remembered we had a cool chat around December on you joining us in Europa after,
Unfortunately,
Though it took few more months for my prophecy to actualize. #words of the elders sha..
It's been a wonderful season, We shall by God's grace see next season.Aameen.
The picture below was when you had the first laugh

Jodera:
....Also xhaka, I think we need someone better than him, and someone who can pair with torreira or a cazorla type(how I miss this guy). Most times, I feel xhaka is slow in transitioning play from defence/midfield to attack. We need that sort of midfielder, and also the same person must also be able to wriggle his way out under pressure!

Xhaka is another case study, we need to clear him or make him a squad player like Elneny, I feel Elneny would have been better if given such playing chances like xhaka from start of season, xhaka only Starr because he is 35£, popular with swiss and forms activity a lot, the way he runs to take corners, pointing fingers trying to organize defence and his carriage made some to be scammed and thought him to be a captain material.
He needs to be ar from first team, we need that tall,strong, mobile,technical players who can transit us forward quick,give us presence and boss's the middle.

Spy360:
The good thing about pairing Auba and Laca is that they are different and bring unique contributions to the team play.

Auba has the pace while Laca the stamina.

Auba takes on his markers while Laca hassles them.

Auba has the eye for goals while Laca provides them.

Auba has the positioning while Laca creates spaces.

Their bromance simply makes everything synchronize.

They both have their qualities, but isn't it annoying they don't give us such performance week in week out, Auba was so in the mood in Valencia, I hardly see him beat his man,energetic and so serious, he was playing like those klopp men.
Also if Auba can give this Performance every week, maybe we play him on the Right flank, while laca be in the middle with a new LW signing in a 3 man forward with a Fekir, madison or carzola like player behind them.
That's the best formation to break those hard defence especially in England.

MrDojo:
The boys played well today. Hopefully, they'll finish the job against Chelsea. We need to win tha5 match by hook or crook.

Although I am team one striker, I cannot deny the fact that Laca and Auba helped us today and last week. They scored the seven goals, and could have scored more too.

We must do everything possible to beat Chelsea on the 29th. If Emery lifts the trophy, it will be a fantastic season IMO.

This is my Auba's best game, he ran,beat his man, stretched his legs and looked really motivated.
I fear playing the rugged Chelsea, I hope sarri instruct his boys to play the sarri ball, I noticed it is easier to play against teams in Europe except the big teams, EPL teams are too physical, doesn't give space and rugged.
We must just win this trophy even if it's by half goal.

Dreamswayne:
Gabonese Darren Bent with a hat trick!!!

Dude suprised me, best game I've seen him play.

I dey fear Frankfurt

chrisooblog:
hi everyone i'm an Arsenal fan but don't post here regularly. hope spurs getting to the UCL final is the shock to the system the board needs to wake up from their slumber and back emery. we need serious defensive reinforcements both at the back and midfield.

You are welcome bro, that's my initial thought, but fans here believe spurs success won't move kroenke and I want to agree with them.One sure thing is the fury from our London fans will yeild result when they start boycotting our games. Kroenke can't afford to go broke.

Rashduct4luv:
This is known by the Al-hadith Scholars and students of knowledge. Of what importance is the basic of classifying Hadith Saheeh/ Do'eef relevant here?

I don't think i need to mention (m)any lecture. I just watched one of his lecture right now wherein he was telling his listeners that Baba Tajudeen Al-Adabi usually prayed Subhi, Zuhr, Asr, Magrib and Ishaa at Makkah from Nigeria! He was even given out his usual ''Asiri". He was just speaking about miracles of some Baba. It's online. I can't share evil here. He was also promoting "Hisab" and kept talking as if he had authority over the knowledge of the unseen. 100% of what i watched in this lecture has no benefit to any conscious Muslim except a Tagged Muslim that is more Kafir than Muslim.

Also his lecture about Salat al Fathi being greater than Salah is widely popular online!



I think you should check yourself well before ascribing to me what belongs to you. I am not an Imam. i don't usually lead Solah.

I advise you all reading this to fear Allah and listen to beneficial lectures and not that of Farooq Onikijipa or Habeeb Agege!

Abeg drop link I wan see, I only want to use it as proof against those who revere him.

pazienza:
So true. Remember our breakdown against Monaco seasons ago.

Also Bayern& barca for good 6 years our bus stop has been Round of 16, with several disgraceful defeats.

The amazing job Poch and Klopp have done at Spurs, Liverpool respectively, they deserve to win a major trophy.
Both managers have had 4years to build their team, and now they are one of the top teams in Europe.

IF Emery is backed with funds, I see us get there in 2/3 years time.
Failure to back him and trusting this squad, means ozil,Auba,mhicky will bully average teams,and fans won't see the bigger picture, and will feel you who complain is just being a sadist.

sod09:
bros i'm seriously angry. imagine spy saying they are having good season

Na now you dey feel anger?
The Tottenham I saw against city made me lose interest in everything Arsenal.
Spy and others who don't rate spurs, should take out pen and jotter and do analysis about us and spurs on the following: ,intensity of play,physicality, mental strength, mobility heart/character and quality.

sod09:
that man did more harm than good
pochettino is showing you don't have excuse cos of new stadium

Somebody said spurs will suffer and fight for relegation when they start feeling the effect of new stadium, insteas we saw Tottenham reach UCL finals, pocket more money and increased in prestige.

pazienza:
Spuds need to win for people to realize the harm Wenger did to this club in the last decade.
London fans became too comfortable. Spuds need to win and rub that trophy on their faces in London everyday. It's no more than they deserve for condoling and worshipping a manager who was past his sale by date, ten years ago.

I'm in sifia pains too. Perhaps Valencia can stage a comeback tonight and pile more on the pain.

Spurs no kuku get fans here like that in naija,but in London, I'm sure war and killings fit happen if spurs win o. The pains will be too sifia for them than us, it was Chelsea I never wanted there.
The reality be say spurs have overtaken us and are having a better season than us.
wanyama and Sissoko cost 47£, power pace and mobility, I'll take them over all the gbegiri we have in the middle including Torriera.

BANJEX38:
I am very much an arsenal fan
Guys how do you do this
Our arsenal has disappointed us dearly severally
They lack character
See spurs
they burst my head yesterday
Let's stop trying to salvage or defend arsenal's ego when the club itself has left us more depressed by their performances in recent times.
I can't be sad if Tottenham win because arsenal has left us more disappointed than we could ever think
No need to beef
Same way we beefed Chelsea in 2012 and they still won
Let us face our own problems and stop bantering spurs.
We always like to relish in the mediocrity of comparing ourself with spurs.

But they say poch hasn't won anything and he's still a failure.
No be only your head burst, mesef shouted goal when I saw passion and energy, that's what modern footy requires.
I'm sure We would have cracked and bowed to Ajax pressure by 60th minute.
I doubt we can do historical comebacks on big nights like this, our boys are either old or lazy to battle it at that stage.

sod09:
Mehn I couldn't sleep all night, I was just thinking about spuds in UCL final. How did we get here FFS, we can't even qualify for top4 again. How much was Moura, eriksen, vertongen,alderweilder etc when spuds bought them instead we rather bought gervinho, squilachi,xhaka,mustafi and people telling me not to blame wengay.
That miserable old man is no legend to me, it got to a stage if arsenal bid for a player clubs won't even listen because that old fool will be pricing like he's buying tomatoes.
I wish spurs to win jare they worked for it and I hope there parade bus have a stop over at the Emirates so they flaunt it on their useless faces that's if they have any dignity.
I wish something that make me forget about this curse club I'm so tired in the next 5 years we are likely to be the only top6 with no UCL because from next season city will make it a priority.
This club is nothing but pain to her fans, just imagine no European memories the only ones we have is getting raped home and away by world class teams.
Spurs are in final this fools were still posting pictures around ,Ogun kill all of them

Spurs bought men who've got talent,fight and strength, now they are in UCL finals despite not spending in decent summer, Lucas moura I've been a fan since his PSG days, he is direct,fast and quality, we could have gotten him to flank lacazeete instead of the Mr tap in penalties. That's world class, they stood up at the big stage when it mattered .
Ajax was hot and strong, but spurs burned their engine on the pitch, even if they had lost,they'll have my respect and will take that show over local trophies.
At this rate, the implication is that spurs will be confident of playing any team in Europe next year so far they don't sell but recruit.

AAA593:
Fighting spirit in Liverpool and spurs but if na arsenal, our players go dey fucckup more. Imagine Lucas moura that was linked severally to arsenal back then. Wenger no gree buy am. Na to sabi buy lazy players. Wenger Eh. I just pray will succeed tonight in Spain.

That's what I've been saying over and over but its either they don't understand or sought to deceive themselves, spurs have players and a team with the mental and physical strength to compete at the high stage, I've been noticing this since they drew Madrid at benabeu,beat them at Wembley 3-1, fought hard and unluckily lost to juve last year.
This year again, they needed 1 point at camp nou to qualify, that's a huge, beat inform Dortmund home and away, eliminate the cash city in fierce battle and now wonder of the season Ajax.
The manner they progressed to this stage is awesome, now remember how we faired in our UCL games, embarrassments upon massive disgrace over and over.

They had injuries, still got to this stage with their thin squad and yet we can't capitalize on that,and some still feel we are on the same level.

BANJEX38:
COYS Come On You Spurs

As an arsenal I would happily support spurs for d UCL they have really tried.

Against all odds of injuries setbacks zero spending and they are here

Thumbs up Poch I have always loved you

Let's support our rival team this once

Teamwork is the key.
Never say die

Mr Spy will kill you, Arsenal fans hate spurs like shyyte, spurs in final gan, it is sifia pains..
Spurs moved to new stadium and are in UCL finals 3 months after. Without spending dime in summer, poch is a coach, spurs have proved beyond doubt they have mental and physical strength..
Clearly having a better and bigger season than us.

sod09:
just look at coutinho and dembele expensive shít
I hope we stop everything about that spoilt brat dembele if only he scored one of those chances at nou camp, that's what our players do score 2-3 and relax.

Dembele is just a dribbling winger,also not consistent nothing too spectacular, mbappe and Giroud benched him at the world cup.
Though very good crosser and supplier of the ball from flanks, he's the reason Auba scored a lot in Dortmund, but he isn't worth the money spent on him.

Coutinho is not properly used and his game suits Madrid the more, he's like an ozil when deployed on the flanks, he isn't a natural winger, but an AM who's good at driving that ball and shooting. He hasn't wowed much at barca.

I think Messi spoilt barca, they relax and feel Messi will do it for us jare, they will suffer more than Madrid after he's gone.

Suarez looked like older version of Auba , no wonder they want laca, I love laca and want him stay because he's among the very few who are hardworking,but if we can scam barca and get £80+ I'm game o.

PRESENTATION:
Well your guess is as good as mine, biggest bottlers, like bottling the UCL hopes and everything. Sadly, It is very possible for Valencia to still win, Arsenal plays clueless.

* They still have an away goal advantage don’t forget.

Those lads should rather not be used by devil o, I don too mock barca fans and I want another English team fxcck a Spanish team out for bragging sake.

PRESENTATION:
They were simply clueless like Arsenal would do, no team spirit just some bunch of guys trying to push the ball around the field, don’t press your opponent, playing from the back . Well we all saw the result.

Liverpool are no fluke, but I have a disdain for the team because of their fans. I never for once thought of trolling them but a friend got on my nerve on every discussion, sadly I had to cut him off. Big ups to them, Winning the UCL means they will rub it on our faces forever, is Tottenham a choice ? Nahhhhh maybe Liverpool would be better. Nobody wants to deal with a rival winning they will rub it on our faces even better , London rival or even a North London rival NEVER.

I admire your truthfulness,I understand as a Rival,we won't want Liverpoo/spurs or another doing good for fear of mocking us, but i personally just cant help but appreciate and applaud good football with mental and physical strength, which is so lacking from us.

Barca had no one to do something tangible with the ball except Messi Aigbe, they were just like Arsenal, I feel Liverpool had only Messi to fear,he was the reason for their first leg loss,take him away and I see Liverpool's pressing and power eliminating barca with ease.

This type of night is what I miss and want from my Arsenal, nights like this are sweeter than fa cup or Carling cup to me ( my feeling), A team who can go shoulder to shoulder against anyone as against that which would have lost from the first leg or dressing room disgracefully.

I

Guys, Valencia official Twitter account just tweet "So, it CAN be done...
Arsenal fans won't we react to the big football news trending?
What can we learn, abi they are still loosers who doesn't deserve commendation?

PRESENTATION:
Between Barça and Arsenal which is worse in bottling chances ?

Congrats to Loserpool, I don’t still like your team for no jack.

Barca need Messi to gun down the heavy weights most of the time, so should he have an off day, the whole team suffers.
As for my Liverpool, don't dare call them loser again ,this can't be fluke, they are solid men who can go toe to yoew with anyone.

Liverpool repping England well! No matter what, they've proved to be fire.
