European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Goosethetruth(m): 6:24pm On Nov 03, 2024
Manchester United have the worst centre forward in the Premier league. I stand to be corrected. Hojlund offers no outlet at all. All he does is wrestle and back into defenders.
The less said about Zirkzee as an expected substitute, the better.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Goosethetruth(m): 6:10pm On Nov 03, 2024
Hojlund probably would have a better career in the WWE. Honestly. His movement and positioning is so poor. He gives nothing to aim for.

Please stop blabbing. Any serious football fan knows Arsenal do not have the quality to win the league but this things happen sometimes especially with a good coach and belief amongst the players. Example is in the case of Leicester that year. Even this Arsenal almost won it last year and everyone is still seeing them as a contender ahead of Chelsea and United this year. It takes a quality coach to parade average player like Arsenal's and still make them a top team.
Look lady,you don't have monopoly of insults. I don't know if you tell your husband at home that he is blabbing because you have him pussywhipped but I don't debate people who throw silly insults. Gradually your true Arsenal colours are coming out from behind the masquerade.
So bye.
When you are ready to debate devoid of insults you are free to tag me.

You sound more like an Arsenal fan to me...You guys need to appreciate what Arteta is doing with the average players in that team. Hire Guardiola and he wont do better. Same thing I used tell my husband who used to be a die hard gunner. I don't understand what you meant by "insult" though
I am not an Arsenal fan but I am a student of the history of football. When I started watching football it was only 2 points for a win. The defenders could back pass the ball to the goalkeeper and he could catch the ball with his hands. There were only two substitutes allowed per team in a game. Referees wore black jerseys. All football boots were black coloured. There was no VAR. The Referees were fair but did not blow the whistle every time a player went down at the slightest contact. So for you who probably started watching football in the year 2000 to say I know nothing about football is a gross insult.
So when I tell you Arteta is an average coach and Arsenal will win nothing with him going forwards. Take it from me I know what I am talking about. Arteta is not even on the level of coaches like Iraola at Bournemouth or Hansi Flick at Barcelona or Xabi Alonso at Leverkusen not to talk of master coaches like Zidane,Mourinho,Klopp or Guardiola.

Lol...😁😁
Here we go again.
This is how these greedy politicians failed to compromise with each other in the last Presidential election and ended up splintering their votes into three different places. 1.Atiku 2.Obi 3. Kwankwaso
Thus allowing Bola Tinubu to clinch the presidency.
Now Tinubu is the incumbent sitting president with all the paraphernalia of state at his beck and call and you want to still split your votes into three different places?
Is that not insanity. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

You know nothing about football. As a united fan and having followed English premiership over the years, I respect what Arteta is doing at Arsenal with the bunch of average players.
I said devoid of insults. If you go that route I will ignore your subsequent posts.
First off you are an Arsenal fan. There is no need to hide behind United to get your message across.

Now to Arteta. Arteta is a very average coach. The alleged FA cup he won in 2020 was won with Unai Emery and Freddie Lunjberg's teams because Lunjberg was the interim coach after Emery was sacked.
The reason you Arsenal fans feel that Arteta is a good coach is because the standard at Arsenal has dropped so low since Wenger left that any form of light appears to be day time to Arsenal fans but you are free to hope.
Yesterday Arteta had Partey playing at full back in a system only he could comprehend.
If some of you were alive to witness George Graham's Arsenal teams in the 80s that went toe to toe with Liverpool and won the old first division in 1989 at Anfield you would understand what I am talking about. I suggest you goggle it on YouTube then come back and tell me Arteta is not an average coach.
The best of Arteta's teams of the last two seasons could not lace the shoe laces of the best of Wenger or Grahams teams.
So you Arsenal fans can hope all you want but I assure you you are going home empty and without a trophy this season as long as Arteta remains your manager.
Happy weekend!

The era of 90's and early 2000's where the league is like 2 horse-races between Man U and Arsenal is quite different from this present era.
Wenger even contributed to dwindling fortune of Arsenal because all the players he discovered to increase his quality normally end up in joining Man U or Chelsea or Man city and he will always replace them with a mediocre who will not always measured up
It is obviously clear that you began following Arsenal when Kanu joined Arsenal from Inter Milan.
It is glaring you don't know the history of the team you support.
However let me assure you again if Arsenal football club continue to keep faith with Mikel Arteta they can not win a trophy but you are free to continue believing.
Good night.

Just tell us you hate that man called Arteta.
Football coaching job is one of the most delicate jobs on this planet that requires a little bit of luck because result will not always go your way even you have quality players at your disposal.
Presently, Arteta is getting it wrong because his midfielders are too slow and lack creativity and he needs to address that quickly.

I'm very sure you are going to rate Vincent Company high by the time he wins the Bundesliga next may forgetting that Tuchel a highly rated couldn't win the title last season despite the array of stars
You may rate Vincent Kompany as a coach. I don't. When Kompany comes up against a cerebral coach like Alonso or Flick his inadequacy will be violently exposed despite the array of talents at his disposal.

Once again I don't hate Arteta. I am only telling you Arsenal fans to lower your expectations because 9 times out of 10 Arteta's inadequacy will be exposed if he comes up against a half decent coach.
It is a pity that the levels at Arsenal have fallen so low and few Arsenal fans know about the iron team that George Graham built in the 1980's nor the sleek attacking teams that Wenger built in the 90's.
However you are free to continue hoping.

So the FA title and community shield he won in first 3 years, the other coaches were not so cerebral?
I've been watching football for over 40 years. So I know what I am talking about. However as an Arsenal fan you are entitled to hope. I am also surprised you regard the Charity shield as a cup to be paraded. Like I said,the standards at Arsenal have fallen to abysmal levels.

Hahahaha I like our discussion. Don't get me wrong, you are making some valid points and it proves to me that you know your football. I am not someone who gets angry or riled up when getting or listening to some else's point of view.

However, my take is that you are personally restricting your point of view to Arsenal calling them ' an underachieving team with an over rated coach in Arteta" so tell me why is Arteta over rated according to you. And why is Arsenal an underachieving team? You clearly dont rate both so why are you calling them underachievers or overrated? You just don't like Arsenal or Arteta...fair enough no yawa.

So a young novice coach who has never coached any team before took over a team like Arsenal that were been mocked and laughed at for years while finishing outside the champions league places in positions like 5/6/7/8 etc, and led them back to the champions league, finishing runners up the last two seasons, reaching the quarter finals of the champions league, and also playing an attractive attacking football in that period is not improvement? Haba na, where are other ex players like Lampard, Keane, Rooney, Neville, Viera, Gatuso, etc who tried and fail
Okay,let's discuss football devoid of insults.

I don't hate Arsenal. In fact under Arsene Wenger and George Graham I liked the kind of football they played.
However you and I know that because of the poor state of the team since Wenger left the standards have dropped and that is the reason you think Arteta is a good coach. Arteta is actually average although when compared to his contemporaries like Lampard,Rooney,Scholes,and maybe Gerrard he looks a decent coach.
However when you compare Arteta to a very decent coach like Flick at Barcelona,Iraola at Bournemouth and Alonso at Leverkusen or even Tuchel you realise that Arteta is an average ordinary coach.
In fact once Arteta comes up against a cerebral coach in any tournament this year I guarantee you that 9 times out of 10 Arsenal will be found out and they will lose. This is why I am so confident that Arsenal will not win anything with Arteta this season but you as a fan are entitled to hope.

Which one is he won it with Emery's team again. Once a coach leaves and another one comes in even if it's mid-season it is his name that will be on record that he won a trophy not the coach that left. So if Amorin comes and wins any trophy with Utd now going forward it will be downplayed and credit not giving to him?

Btw, you saying Arteta will not win a single trophy with Arsenal is just wishful thinking. You don't know anything that will happen tomorrow, it's just what you wish so it's not certain! Any coach/team still left in a cup competition can win it. So don't beat your chest and say "I repeat Arsenal will NOT..." It's not that serious abeg...mic drop!
If Ruben Amorim comes into Manchester United after the season has got underway and wins an FA Cup,League Cup or Europa he will certainly have used Erik Ten Hags team.
Arteta took over from Unai Emery in December 2019 and completed the season and as such won the FA cup with a team already assembled by Unai Emery in 2020.
Finally ,while I agree that a team still in a one off cup tournament can get lucky and win the cup,it does not apply to an under achieving team like Arsenal under the over rated Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal will fail to win any trophy this season. Mark my words!

Well that's your opinion...and why exactly is Mikel Arteta overrated according to you? I know u will say trophies...okay he has 1 FA cup. Ten Hag has an FA Cup and Caraboa cup right?
So with your insight and expertise in football, considering where Man Utd and Arsenal are coming from the past four years or so ..which team has improved the more generally?
I don't want to keep doing this back and forth with you. The FA cup Arteta allegedly won was with Unai Emery's players/team.
If you sincerely believe Mikel Arteta can win any trophy this season, then you are living in an illusionist dream world.
I repeat Arsenal will NOT win a single trophy this season with Arteta in charge. Mark my words.

Guy,
You can argue all you want but facts are facts that the sacked Ten Hag has won more trophies than the over rated Mikel Arteta in less time even. So it is obvious that the sacked Ten Hag is a more productivecoach/manager

PoliticsRe: Chaos In Aba: Gunmen Storm Labour Party Meeting, Abduct Key Chieftains (photos) by Goosethetruth(m): 6:15pm On Oct 19, 2024
CirclesonTv:
The ruling Labour Party (LP) in Abia State recently experienced a distressing event as two prominent stakeholders were abducted during a party meeting held at a hotel in Aba, the state's commercial hub.

The perpetrators, who were heavily armed and concealed their identities, asserted that they were acting under authoritative instructions, providing no further elucidation.

Among the people taken hostage were Ceekay Igara, the Deputy National Chairman, and Prince G. O. Ndubueze, the Acting State Chairman. Notably, Ndubueze was forcibly taken away in an unmarked vehicle, prompting growing apprehension.

This incident prompted attendees of the Labour Party meeting to express their solidarity through vocal protests, condemning the abductions as detrimental to the welfare of the people and highlighting the concerning state of security within the region.

We need to hear from the man here,because it is a known fact that while men work their behind off to take care of the family expenses,the wife is always at home manipulating the minds of the kids against the father. Most times in old age the poor father is abandoned by the kids while the mother is pampered and well taken care of.
