£30,000-a-week Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi is caught on video at 3am party hours before his side crashed out of FA Cup in shock defeat


Clip shows 21-year-old Nigerian international dancing and screaming at 2.37am
Next day he started in a pivotal role for Arsenal as they slumped to shock defeat
Sources report laughing gas canisters and smell of cannabis coming from party
No suggestion Iwobi took drugs, but fans slammed his performance as rubbish


Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi has come under fire after a video of him emerged at a supposedly drug-fuelled party the day before the London side's shock FA Cup exit.
The clip shows the 21-year-old Nigerian international, who is on a reported £30,000-a-week at the Emirates, dancing and screaming at 2.37am on Saturday at a flat in Soho.
https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2018/01/09/00/47DC235500000578-5248557-image-m-42_1515457279845.jpg

And the next day he started in the pivotal number 10 role for the Gunners as they flopped to a 4-2 third round defeat to Championship team Nottingham Forest.
Fans have now called for his head, saying he doesn't deserve to be at the North London club.
Although there is no suggestion Iwobi was taking drugs, tenants in neighbouring flats reported laughing gas canisters and a strong smell of cannabis coming from the party apartment, according to The Sun.

The Snapchat video showed the footballer in the centre of the shot with the caption, 'Shouldn't Iwobi be sleeping?'.

Iwobi's social media habits have been a bugbear for many Arsenal fans, with many slating him for spending too much time on his phone posting pictures and videos of himself at Nando's, his luxurious lifestyle and previously with his ex Clarisse Juliette (pictured) before they split last year
A source told the paper the group had been refused entry to a club, so rented an AirBnB flat in Soho.
The partying kept residents awake for hours, and it is thought the antics went on for at least another hour.
Arsenal fans were furious with Iwobi's performance, describing him as 'rubbish' and saying he would be better suited to Championship level with Nottingham Forest.
And the emergence of the video has done nothing to stem the flow of the criticism.
Supporters were last night calling for Arsene Wenger to suspend the star over his antics.
One fan said on Twitter: 'Arsenal should suspend Alex Iwobi for his actions on Saturday night and Sunday morning, knowing he was a "senior player" on the Sunday against Forest.
'Sheer stupidity and naivety from him.
'Explains his poor performance too.'
Another said: 'Doesn't deserve to start now don't deserve to be at this club.
'We want him sold or contract ripped up and thrown away.'
One fan threw down an ultimatum to the Arsenal attacker, saying: 'Sacrifice now and become something or be forgotten as a nobody. Your choice.'
But not all fans took to social media to slate him.
Many fans stood up for Iwobi with one even suggesting the late night boosted his performance levels.
A fan said: 'Not really bothered he was out, if anything he played a bit better than usual got got an assist.'
A spokesman from the club refused to comment on the matter, but a source told The Sun the Nigerian's late night could have had an impact on his showing in the cup tie.
This time last year, Iwobi was pictured at a Rae Sremmurd gig with model Clarisse Juliette at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire.
They split months later having spent three and a half years as a couple, it was claimed.
Juliette was quickly becoming one of the more famous WAGs at Arsenal and posted a picture of the pair on her Instagram account showing Iwobi giving her an adoring gaze.
Her Instagram feed is now almost exclusively pictures of her by herself, mirroring her ex-boyfriend's.

Why not?

When many players are trying to go on loan to get playing in other to get a chance of making the WC party many of our 'regular' players are busy warming the bench and grooving in parties a day a crucial match.

Even this transfer market dull because many players are carefully of missing the WC

What could be responsible for these players attitudes?

Simple. World cup is sure for dem even if dem break leg.

Why do they have this mindset?

Who wan bench us.

Is it true we don't have players that can bench these players allover the world?

I disagree because we sure have players playing day in day out in the top ten clubs in Europe yet we are stucked in this mess.


People think competitive game is same as friendly game. Yoyohahama! I laugh in suzuzuki yakamski voice.

What happened against Argentina will not happen at the WC. Why?

1. Your opponent will study your players and style of play but against Argentina dey just came test their formation and they needed not to study our players. But we surprised them with our new formation. Now, our opponents have taken note.

2. It was just a friendly and nothing really at stack hence the calm nature of match. For world cup, it will be very aggressive and tensed.

3. For world cup, all teams best players will be in the tournament but in that friendly no Messi(like no Mikel Obi) and as soon as Aguero went out, we were left with a week team.

Solution new players currently doing well in Europe should be called for a test. Once, they do well, some players will be scared of loosing their spots.

India as a former colony of britain have always had interest in football. You will be surprised that they are some clubs in india that are over 100 years old.

China like other asian countries have been crazy over football especially premiership over the last couple of decades. At least I know china had a top female national team in the nineties
Well, you may be right about indian having clubs that are over 100 and having interest in football but what is the fraction of the population interested in football since independent till just recently?

50%, 60%, 80%, 100% or 0.01%?

Indians are cricket lovers though recently things are changing.

I have met thousands of them in a gathering and when it is time for sports, they normal choose basketball over football.




India is predominantly a country fascinated towards Cricket. Football has never received the importance it should have.

Until the Ambani Family came up with the idea of ISL. A footballing league for India with veteran foreign players flying over to play with the budding Indian talents also at display.

It was in 2013 that India has it's first season of ISL which was won by Atletico De Kolkata. That was the beginning of a new era for Indian football.

Comparing the standards of European football to that of ISL is unwise. But the level of Football has started improving and is growing by leaps and bounds over the past years.


https://www.quora.com/Why-are-Indians-more-interested-in-foreign-football-leagues-while-they-dont-show-much-interest-in-the-ISL-which-is-happening-in-their-own-country

Pls, take note that the Indian league just started in 2013.

This is one of the reasons I said most of our NPL clubs should be sold to Nigerian billionaires.


Chinese urge for football can't be compared with that of Korean and Japanese some few years ago.

Maybe they like watching football but not to make a career in it.

Remember, Chinese are restricted from having not more than one kid and this is why they make sure their only one boy gets educated till university level or groom them in the sports they are dominant at at the world stage.

I have met thousands of Chinese too in gatherings but hardly do you see them play ball.


It is just recently the government developed a policy to make China the biggest footballing nation by 2030 or 2050.

Highlight btw Arsenal vs Nottingham Foresst

Question; how do you see Arsenal's second goal?

Was it a world class assist?

Was it a defence splitting pass?

If it is was, why didn't it get to Welbeck direct?

Would Welbeck have had a chance to score if the goalkeeper was experienced enough to push the ball away instead of trying to catch the ball?

I am asking because someone said it was world class assist. Nothing more.

China not a football country? After all the millions of dollar investment in their super league? Ok o. If japan and korea are good at soccer then there's no reason why china a world and economic superpower should not be doing well since according to your logic they have the population
I think India and China just recently developed interest for football.

As of 2001-2002? I don’t think so.
Yes, they regularly qualify for UEFA club competitions, but that doesn’t make them a big Euro club.
I think that was the time they were on the ascendary then.

Yes. Not a big European club but big in Ukraine.

PDPGuy:
People banging on about club form lose sight of the fact that the status of the club a player plays for and/or his stats in a season do not correlate with his national team form.

For instance, Miroslav Klose was an absolute beast for Germany at 5 or 6 major tournaments. He even ended up being the record World Cup goal scorer of all time. However, I don’t think he ever scored up to 20 goals in a season. He never even showed up amongst the nominees for the Balon D’Or, or Bundesliga player of the season, let alone FIFA World Player of the Year.

Moreover, Julius Aghahowa is another example. The highest rated club this guy ever played for was Shakhtar Donetsk! But he he kept on scoring crucial goals for the Super Eagles. So, other factors clearly come into play (coach’s tactics etc) when judging whether a player is suitable for the national team.
Shakhtar Donestsk na big club.

My brother, image small Guinea of 10 million people producing a $70M player while a country of 200 million mad soccer fans have yet to produce someone half that price. We are not doing something right obviously. This Naby Keita guy got his football education in Guinea oh (!). He was not produced in diaspora.

Anyway, I don't think this is the real valuation of Ndidi but it is a big positive.
Naby Keita is another product of the Austrian league.

Iwobi Rated Arsenal's Worst Player Vs Forest, Stats That Show He May Be Replaced By Nelson
Published: January 07, 2018




Alex Iwobi's dip in form worsened in Arsenal's humiliating 4-2 loss to Nottingham Forest in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday evening so much so that he was rated the joint-worst Gunners player on the pitch.

With Mesut Ozil rested, the Nigeria international was supposed to be his team's playmaker but he was so poor that Arsenal fans were left scratching their heads.

None of Iwobi's three shots was on target against Forest, he had a passing accuracy of 85.5 percent and his defensive frailties and lack of creativity were exposed after making only one tackle and winning one foul for his side.

Comparing Iwobi's performance to Reiss Nelson, who is being tipped to replace the Nigerian in the first team, the 18-year-old made four key passes, had 11 touches more, passing accuracy 88.4 percent, made four tackles and won three fouls.

In the player ratings by Football.London, Iwobi was awarded three out of ten marks, along with central defenders Rob Holding and Per Mertesacker.


''Another poor performance from a player horribly out of form. Played in a deeper role than normal but couldn't influence the game,'' Charles Watts wrote on Iwobi.

In Iwobi's last 18 outings for Arsenal in all competitions, he has scored only one goal.

The last time I posted a data comparing 6 players that can play Mikel's role, someone rubbish the report eventhough the data was gotten from an independent source.

Behold, it is what they used up there to evaluate the performance of a Player.

Iwobi style of play is one two touch. He can't play like Mikel though he brings another flavour to the team.

I watched him played yesterday and I can see he played the deep attacking midfield role but he could not influence the game neither did he create any chance.

I think he is better a SS and somehow a big game player.

However, I fear for our team if Mikel is not available for a game during the WC. Who will play his role effectively?

I know people will call for my head if I suggest Raheem Lawal hence the need to look Josh Onomah's way.

I think Josh Onomah should be given the chance to prove himself.

Report: Iheanacho Earning N2.9B A Year, Leicester Regret Signing Striker?

Published: January 08, 2018

Leicester City are willing to offload Nigeria international Kelechi Iheanacho in the January transfer window.

According to The Sun, the Foxes have admitted they made a mistake and are prepared to let Kelechi Iheanacho leave - even if it means making a loss on the £25million striker.

It is claimed that the stumbling block to a proposed departure from the King Power Stadium is that Iheanacho currently earns around £115,000-a-week (or N2.9 billion a year), which might not be matched by an interested European club.

The former Manchester City starlet was out of favour under manager Craig Shakespeare, before he was declared surplus to requirements by new boss Claude Puel.

The 21-year-old's game time has been inconsistent, with only two Premier League starts against Huddersfield Town and West Brom.

Last summer, French club Monaco were interested in Iheanacho's signature but he preferred a move to Leicester City.

Top 100 Most Valuable Players In Europe : Nigeria's Ndidi Is Second Most Expensive African
Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi is among the top one hundred most valuable players in the top five leagues in Europe.

According to new information from football statisticians CIES Football Observatory, the Nigeria international is worth 77.4 million euros, or in other words they recommended that teams interested in his services will have to cough up that amount in order to sign him.

No other Nigerian player was included on the list, however, Mohamed Salah (€140.5), Sadio Mane (€66.3), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (€64.7m) are the Africans that featured.

The most valuable in the world is Neymar (€213m) , who leads the way ahead of Lionel Messi (€202m).

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is the costliest player in the Premier League at €195m, followed by teammate Dele Alli (€171.3m) and Manchester City's Kevin de Bruyne (€167.8m).

Ndidi ranked 51st on the list, he joined Leicester for a fee of 17.6 million euros in January 2017.

Obviously you haven't been following events closely.

The other day, I commented about Iwobi's poor performance against Liverpool. The reactions I got was that Iwobi was being criticized unfairly ( there were even pointers to sour grapes for dropping England for Nigeria). Ever since, I've noticed some kind of over indulgence and misguided zeal to defend Iwobi at all cost. Someone even posted last night that he's on the look out for Arsenal fans calling out Iwobi after another flat performance against Nottingham Forest.

Any smart person will figure where this is all heading to knowing the history of another Nairaland fan's favorite here.

Joel Obi Becomes Third Nigerian To Reach 100-Game Milestone In Serie A But Gets Injured
Much loved Nigeria international Joel Obi became the third Nigerian player to reach a 100-game milestone in the Italian Serie A on Saturday, January 6.

The attacking midfielder started Torino's 3-0 win over Bologna at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, and joined respected former Super Eagles stars Christian Obodo and Stephen Makinwa in the 100-game club.

On the flip side, Obi had to be substituted after only 34 minutes after suffering a suspected ankle injury, and he will undergo a medical examination in the coming days to determine the severity of the ailment.

The 26-year-old played 50 games for Inter Milan in the Italian top-flight, 8 for Parma and made his 42nd appearance for Torino against The Red and Blues.

Nigeria's record holder in the Serie A is former Perugia, Fiorentina and Udinese star Christian Obodo, who amassed 196 appearances followed by Makinwa with 120.

Obafemi Martins, Victor Obinna and Eddy Onazi, who are active but not in Italy, played more than 50 games in the Serie A.

NEWS2018 World Cup: What Buhari told me about Super Eagles – Dalung

Published on January 8, 2018 By John Owen Nwachukwu

The Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Solomon Dalung, has revealed what was discussed in his meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, yesterday.

The Minister said the President charged him and other sport administrators in the country to ensure that the Super Eagles are not mere spectators at the competition.


The Minister disclosed this to State House correspondents after briefing the President on the progress recorded by the country in sporting activities last year.

He said, “2017 was a very good year in sports for Nigeria, we had the best outing. We had a Democratic elections into the federations and that has helped us tremendously because the federations are up and doing and their hauling in medals in almost all the competitions.

“I briefed him about our plans for 2018 because it is a sports year right from February to August, there is no dull moment. Right from CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) to African Youth Champion in wrestling taking place in Port Harcourt, to Commonwealth Games scheduled for Gold Cost, Queensland.

“We need the support of the president as usual and funding as it is required to enable our teams succeed.


“Well so far so good. For the commonwealth games we have had all the budgetary allocations released and we are on course. The athletes are in camp, they are training. We have athletes in Port Harcourt while others are in Abuja.

“The challenge basically has been lack of training facilities. As we all know training facilities has to do with infrastructural deficit in sports because of long time neglect.

“The visit I made to Lagos the athletes are in high Spirit and are maximizing the available facilities on ground to do their best but we will cap it up possibly with our budget support with foreign camping. After reviewing what is available to us If we can guarantee it then we can export some of our areas of comparative advantage we will send some of our athletes to foreign countries.”

He said that President Buhari encouraged him to in 2018 sustain the tempo of the successes recorded so far in 2017, especially with the World Cup in Russia.


Dalung added, “He challenged me to ensure that Nigeria does not go to Russia a mere spectator.

“Of course I also informed him that part of the measures we have taken to address some of the challenges is to ensure that by March all the players are paid their match training and camp allowances upfront but for the bonuses is in terms of progression according to performance at the World Cup.”

Nigeria will play Croatia, Iceland and Argentina in the group stage of the World Cup in Russia

Well, you have also been parading the likes of Ajagun, lawal, Aluko, kayode and the likes but they have not gotten their own invites.

Could it be just a mere coincidence that Rohr invited those players you've been clamoring for and not because he saw your list on Nairaland?
So, Kayode has not gotten invitation?

The remaining 3 will get theirs if they continue to perform.

It is not too late. Na step by step.

Saying the bolded is overstating your importance, and I don't mean that as an insult.

Just to be clear, did you submit the aforementioned names to Rohr?
Did you not hear NFF officials are monitoring this thread and did you not hear that the comments here influenced their decisions sometimes?

somehow:
Please bros, I beg you in the name of God you serve, remain the person you were in 2017 or even better. Then you had more thrown at you but you still kept your head high and continued in what you believed in. Please don't change and if you must, let it be for the better please.

I enjoy the way you back your assertions with facts and figures even if I don't always agree with some of your assertions, please continue like that.

Not everyone will like or hate you, remember that, just continue with your opinion.


@all, when did having an opinion a problem on this thread? Let's stop this segregation and stereotyping, there's a level of tolerance in everyone, we shouldn't push people too hard hence they break.


Let's respect people's opinions no matter how different they are.

If you can't counter another's opinion with Superior arguments, move on and not resort to name calling or stereotyping.

And for God's sake, let's kill any trace of tribalism on this thread, takes us no where as we can see in politics.

As for those unknown usernames, (inactive ones) coming to add fire or cause division on this thread, if you're a known username and you keep supporting them to keep the fight on either by quoting them or liking their post, shame is forever yours!

Lastly, we know sentiments can't be ruled out from the way we think, those who are overtly sentimental should please tone it done, avoid your likes (those also as sentimental as you) for the purpose of peace.


Let peace flow like a river on this thread in the name of whichever God we all serve.
Bros, after reading your comment, I am forced to see reasoning why I should stop and bring back what I personal initiated in this thread. These are decorum, presentation of facts and keeping cool in the face of confrontation and false allegations.

These attributes were initiated by me and it was what influenced many here to behave save some pestilent fellows who keep causing troubles upandan as if na dem get dis place.

However, this is another of my humble tactics to bring another level of decorum on this thread but will stop because you have narrated how things should be done and not to be done which is very understandable and agreeable by a sane human being.

I think I will demonstrate what a sane man would do after reading your post and I hope other reasonable being follow suit. Thanks

that guy has never had a modicun of self respect. He is a shameless old man whose excesses have been overlooked one too many times and should be dragged by his tiny balls.

He is just unleashing his true self for those who have never seen it. Some people don see am tire, so all this story about respectable person is jargons to us.

He has no iota of shame in him, even less self respect. That is why even if everyone else leaves him, I will continue to expose his foolishness to the world until he stops disgracing his entire lineage.


So tey Kog45 even had to use language to talk to him, but he still ignored. That is the height of madness and it is all this useless begging that some of you are wasting on him that is spurring him on.


He ought to be put down like a rabid dog. Anybody that wants to come at him should do so as he has presented himself for slaughter

It is said that a stubborn fly will eventually be buried with a corpse. Who no gree use ear hear word, na cane dem go use flog am last last.
You mean which lineage?

Your arrogance and uncultured nature towards many here have not gone unnoticed.

I know your are an unredeemable little brainless and uncultured spoilt tata but you shall be trained.

You think you be kin kong. You must be ignorant.
