As usual we parry at the Emirates, until we start to look so tired and sleepy in Naples.

The difference between city/l.pool and us is that after scoring 2/3 goals we feel fulfilled, its been so since the Wenger days..

I fear our missed chances may come to haunt us,laca and Auba needs to start competing and end this bromance..

Kolasinac was so so average, Kosc is back,solidity is restored at the back, Torreira is class,Ozil thrives when given space, Auba should realise it isn't easy to see tap ins against top teams like this..

I don already write off our game at Watford And the Naples

We only do this at the Emirates, sha score all we can here now,cos we'll be back to our gbegiri mode at the away ground

Sorry guys I forgot my passwords to my first username and my email so I couldnt reply to any email.
Well thoughout the years I have been trying to solve my problem but unfortunately it has not gone away yet I still dream of swimming in my water kingdom and flying to places, I still experience night attacks and nightmares.
The reason I'm back now is bc I think I have finally found the solution
Two days ago I went to a new rukiya guy he told me it's sihir Jin
The following day I went to him he gave me a table spoon of black liquid to swallow and another to hold in my mouth for a couple of minutes ,I immeditally started vomiting followed by intense burning sensation all over my body and like a million needles piercing my body, the voices in my heard were very loud.
He then gave me something to smell that thing knocked me out momenterly I was out of breath and very weak
It's bn two days I'm still experiencing headache stomach ache and pains but the good thing is I have not bn attacked at night or seeing any spooky thing in my dream or in really life bc I normally see shadows or things moving
My next appointment is next two weeks I pray everything goes well
Thanks to everyone for all your prayers and help may Allah reward u all abundantly Amin

Can you kindly assist us with the names of the drugs the raqi gave you?

he did nothing wrong, it is the players mentality from wengay days. they can't squeeze out points away when needed it so bad they have given up before the match starts.
ozil, guen should not near our away fixtures again till next season

I don't even trust xhaka,mhicky,Auba,Kola et all, they can't do it when it gets tough, see spurs fighting ability, sissoko was a warrior yesterday, we would have capitulated in the 6oth minute yesterday, the pressure city mounted was much, but spurs stood firm, even their attackers were ruthless..

Its frustrating bro, I want fearless lion like Sanchez all over my starting 11.

The last 20 minutes of the spurs/city game I saw proved physical and mental strength are major requirements in modern football.
Sissoko,wanyama,ventroghen et al were not slouches nor push overs, they were MEN and stood tough against city..
I looked at son's goal, and I asked myself which of attacking players can be that ruthless.

I trust ozil to start passing/looking to assist in that position, Auba trying to position for tap in.

I've seen spurs battle Madrid, juve,barca, Dortmund and Chelsea over the last 2 years.

I admire poch and respect the spurs, Arsenal needs to do away with this present weak players, bring in talented fighters over the next 3/4 windows, else I'm tearing my membership card.

That hazard's first goal yesterday, until we bring in attacking players with such fearless attribute, only then can we think of competing at the highest stage.

All this spineless yeye nearest man passers,ball flickers won't cut it when the games gets tough.

I maintain my stance on that.

......Stats: Mesut Özil failed to created a chance, produce a shot, win a foul or complete a take-on during his time on the pitch against Everton.

....How can the Captain and leader for the day be that woeful? What was he doing on the pitch then for over 70minutes? And yet some fans will defend him with all forms of irrational excuses. The only passion he showed today was throwing his jacket at the Everton crew and even at that he missed. SMH

....Mhki and Elneny must be sold... it's quite unfortunate that AMN is so lackadaisical in his approach to his game. Yes, right back isn't his position but if he is careless with the ball at that end, how will he behave when placed in midfield?

.....Iwobi is our best alternative to a winger and must start from now oh until we get a proper one in the summer but I worry for our defense. No left back and right back replacement and we are in need of another centre back. Kai, Wenger really do us something before he commot.

....Top 4 is still in our hands, and thank God, Xhaka, Ramsey and Torreira will be back during the next epl match. I hope that's the last time Elneny will play for us. Surely, it is time for Suarez to get his first EPL start, no?

Not many will have the balls to call out ozil, El neny will be the scape goat,The thing about Ozil is he is naturally soft,weak and slow, not a good trait required in modern day football, he only shines against teams who don't go hard and give space..

His game is the same and hasn't changed, he will do well against Napoli at Emirates and struggle in all our away games.

Likewise Auba, take the tap ins away, he will be useless all day, him and ozil are -2 in modern football.no fight, too weak, lazy millionaires.

Iwobi is the closest thing to a good winger and a ball carrier, Emery needs to invest in at least 2.

It's frustrating, No one to drive forward, take players on,or win us fouls in dangerous areas, all are sacred to try new stuffs other than the usual nearest man passes.

Top4 is doubtful, I don't trust us to survive Leicester, Watford and rest.

How to stop Arsenal? Go physical, rough them up and give them no space.

How to combat that? Firstly, Field in mentally and physically rugged players, sadly, Only sokratis,laca and torreira passes this.

Secondly, Use at least 2 good fast dribbling ball Carrier, sadly No one in the squad has that, only iwobi comes close.

When in search for goals,you drive forward,cross,shoot,win founls and all, but all our players can think of is passing it to the nearest man.and when put under pressure, passes back.
Very frustrating, Look at Keita,winaldum,mane,Robertson et al they give me joy with their ball progression.

Until we sort those 2 things out, we won't compete at the high stage.

Spy360:
A combination of Elneny and Guendouzi is a recipe for increasing entropy...

It's games like this that made me desire a docoure,kondogbia and other big hefty players in the middle.
Elneny is Rusty, he isn't physically ready for games like this, guendozi has been bullied physically and mentally by Gomez,gueye et al
Xhaka could have seen red here and sadly Torreira alone can't do it.

Only miracle will win us this game, Everton are playing the correct pattern of how to beat Arsenal.

But a certain Mudir in Lagos claimed Bukhari wasn't that learned and forgot what he memorises a lot and can't be relied upon for info about The prophet.

sod09:
that lad is the truth, I thought we would at least try Villarreal with some figures during January transfer instead I was hearing Suarez.
He won't be expensive if we can buy him before the summer 25m at least then get carrasco too.

That boy and carrasco in our wings

pazienza:
I'm not sold on Ozil and I think Emery isn't either. Ozil will likely not start against Everton away.
Torreira should also be back from suspension afresh and ready to go for that fixture.

Mikhi recovered from his injury at the right time, we should start him against Everton.
I was impressed with Niles too, he seem to be growing in the RWB role, he's made us not to miss Bellerin absence.
Iwobi though was poor, what's wrong with him?

Why exactly is Emery not even bringing Suarez on as substitute, is he that poor in training?

I agree with you on ozil, I don't feel comfy with him and Auba especially in tough away games. They've got brains but agility.
Mhicky ahead of him,I wish Suarez can be given Chance, staying on the bench will kill him like Elneny.

�Man of the match ⁦@MesutOzil1088⁩

5️⃣ crosses - most in match
2️⃣ chances created - joint-most
8️⃣3️⃣ touches
6️⃣3️⃣ successful passes
1️⃣2️⃣ ball recoveries
1️⃣0️⃣km distance covered

1st consecutive PL starts in 2019

Mattéo Guendouzi (19) versus Newcastle United:

• 87 of 94 passes completed
• 45 of 48 forward passes completed
• 24 of 29 final third passes completed

Progressed possession well, and played a part in both Arsenal goals.

19yrs of age, he will become a monster in the future.

We think Guendouzi's upside is big: he's good at playing passes through lines and is capable of escaping pressure.

What he lacks in peripheral awareness, particularly in defensive phases, he makes up for with a constant desire to receive, pass, move, progress. He never hides.

If Emery finishes 3rd, then he has had a very good season, most of us didn't expect 3rd, we had a squad of 5th and/or 4th at best.

I'm scared of our away games, good El neny came on and did a job, Suarez should have come on for ozil, we need everyone fit and ready for this busy fixtures.

sod09:
you like wahala, someone just said Mr kola is better than Roberson in attack and you still arguing with him.
He was the same person that said we are missing giroud ahead of lacazette and auba

he must be joking jare

Fkforyou:
That night was truly memorable..!!!

I truly feel sorry for Uncle Tom.. he was one of my favorite Arsenal player.

The team of Hleb, Roscicky and Fab were one of the most technically gifted players we've ever had.

Shame we had to move from that, to the team of Sylvester..

I remembered how my friends and football pundits wrote us off, that ehn Even your oga Liverpool and utd couldn't stand Milan, is it this small kids Arsenal? And Boom my boys shut them up and made me us have the better laugh.. I slept late, woke up in the mid night feeling so good like I'm going to America
Following day, my pals came to congratulate me, all confessed our boys were superb and tipped us for the final and future greatness..

That victory gave me a belief and drive that nothing is impossible and never to give up..

Hleb,Rosciky,fab flamini were the best I've watched since the invincibles, only carzola looked what I want since then.

Spy360:
Do you just criticise?

Who told you Kola plays back and square passes? Do you really watch his game? I said he is our highest chance creator this season, isn't that enough?

He plays wing back, and that's to cover his weaknesses, but then attack wise he is better than Robertson.

Bellerin could have created and assisted same numbers with him, most of our attack comes from playing our wing backs to cross, cut back and square play.

I'm don't hate him, I just don't see him as the real deal, yes he can be good and very erratic. Okay player but not GradeA IMO.

Just go and watch the Barca - Arsenal highlights...

That night I couldn't fucking eat... I was even at the hostel... One girl told me to come and eat ooo... Because of champions League football... I turned it down... By the time match finish... I lost food and champions League... Then he had the audacity to join Barcelona... Bleep Henry...

Chai double wahala for deady body case..many feels same way, until we win a UCL, fans won't forget that day. No vex bro..that's football

Spy360:
An attacking Kola is better than most fullbacks I know including Sidibe.

Then kola shouldn't be called a defender, he leaves space a lot and doesn't track his man, even his attack isn't spectacular, his attack is far behind Marcelo,Alaba and Alba, even Robertson will run at you and not clueless on the ball.

Pass me I pass you and running behind defence to cut back or square play isn't a biggie to me.

sod09:
no..I prefer Tierney of Celtic almost the same play like Robertson.
We can't afford Alaba either wage or transfer fee

I've not seen Tierney, but if he's like Robertson, then I'm in, that dude plays with high energy reminds of Gael Clichy of 2008.

BlueRayDick:
I read somewhere yesterday David Alaba is about leaving Bayern and Arsenal is being reported as one of his destination. What do you guys think? Do u think the 26year old will be a good replacement for the aging monreal and a real competition for our inconsistent boda Kola?

I would be glad to have him, I don't know about his defensive ability, but his attacking side is gradeA, same level or slightly below Mercelo and Alba, his he truly 26?

Monreal is strong, reliable and hardworking but old age and fitness are his bane, kola doesn't fill me with confidence, aside his square play,running behind defence and cut backs, I dont see anything else in him.

I want both out in not less than 2 years, get in Alaba and a Sidibe.

iPopAlomo:
Henry missed 4 one on one... Then left for Barca the following season...

Ko no ye Henry yen... His woeful performance at Monaco... Na me dey behind am...

Eyin aye oooo, moju ba o

No wonder him take Monaco swimming around relegation waters

Esha nu eh, he will come back and do a zidane for us( 3 UCL) and all 'will be forgiven and forgotten.

[quote author=Fkforyou post=77132699][/quote]2007 year was hot, the days of Fabregas,Roscicky,hleb et all..
The Ac Milan win is my best night with the gunners, I want more nights like that.
.don't worry Emery will bring us more joyful moments.

[quote author=kodded post=77132135][/quote]I had that sympathy love for those young boys then when everyone wrote them of,
That luiz Suarez pained me o, it was like singning another Henri again,
You set don see lots of things with gunners, hopefully, Emery will add more beautiful moments for us.

IZUKWU:
Barcelona, man city

Wow, you be senior Arsenal fan o

Its a pity I watched the old retiring side of Dennis B, Birmingham's loss gave me fever that night.

sod09:
majority of arsenal fans in Nigeria came from kanu no doubt

KANU was a joy for Nigeria & Arsenal, best super sub, his style of play is Arsenal like, that 2-3 at Stamford bridge is evergreen

Hardetayour:
1. Started following Arsenal since Kanu was there but became die hard the year we beat Man Utd in penalties 2004/2005 FA Cup Final I think. I scaled fence from school then to watch the match.

2. Style of play. Fluid and sexy as we used to call it.

5. The 8 2 game. I watched that game with my who was a Man Utd fan and he made jest of me until the match was over. Then the 6 0 against Chelsea ON Arsenes 1000th game in charge

4. The first of the back to back FA Cup titles where Ramsey scored the winning goal and that Champions League run in 2006 with the makeshift defence.

3. The UCL final loss. I cried so hard my mum beat me for crying ���

6. This one is plenty o. Henry's first goal against Man Utd, similar to Adebayors goal against Tottenham. Girouds scorpion kick. Not to forget Dennis Bergkamp goal against Newcastle tho I only saw it on YouTube. Denilsons free kick against Everton too. Henry's Solo run against Real Madrid. Its too much to start mentioning.

7. Ramseys winning goal in the FA Cup final. I hate to see Ramsey go.

8. Not winning the league anytime soon.

9. One time it was Bolton, then Stoke. Now, I'm confident Arsenal can win any game.

15. I don't think I would support any other team. I started off watching Man Utd games but couldn't find that thing to keep me watching unlike Arsenal.

10. Sanchez, my opinion. Then Ozil.

11. Yaya Sanogo. No doubt.

12. Van Persie. Very painful he even went to a man Utd.

13. I've only know 2 coaches so no idea.

14. Abou Diaby. Would have been a wonderful player if not because if the injury. Santi!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow your answers are deep and detailed, Indeed you are a big fan, you made me remember the good old days..
That viera penalty win against utd in 2005 was very big, songs of praise in my area that day, I can't forget.

Your no4&6 I remembered them all like yesterday.

Arsenal fans,we've been through lots(Good&bad).
