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!

Mryacks:
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.

So why was he stacked? They should have left him to keep 'winning trophies' and getting beat in the league up and down na...
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

Politics › Re: 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.

A simple head bandandage wrap around his head would have done the trick the first time. What an all round incompetent club.
A large gob of vaseline and a wrap around white bandage would have stemmed the bleeding until half time.
Seems we are in for a long disastrous season here.
We could be in the relegation zone by our next game....

Irresponsible Nigerian men are always upset whenever their fellow Irresponsible man is exposed by their kids, watch them rip the girl to shreds. If you like, don't be involved in your children's lives, they will gladly expose you on podcasts. The era of covering up for irresponsible deadbeat fathers is OVER!

She sounds Ghanaian tho
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.
Men are condemned to live a lonely life while women manipulate their way to live a life of enjoyment, first off the poor husband and in later life off the children.

In your one track mind,anybody that fails to drink the Ibo koolaid is either a head slamming Hausa/Fulani Muslim or a Yoruba Muslim.
It is not a surprise that ignorant people like you believed a lunatic who told you that former President Buhari died and was buried in a shallow grave in Saudi Arabia and was replaced by a Sudanese clone named Jubril Al-Sudani. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

It is such a pity your head is being handed to you on a Spike on your own stupid and senseless thread.

Now the looney fringe Kemi Olunloyo has jumped on the band wagon to twist and wind your empty brains around her clawed fingers....lol😊😉😁
You are very correct....
Femi Fani Kayode was able to manipulate them for a long time until the day he revealed that Bianca had been gracing his bed while the war lord was paralysed,bedridden and blinded. Then he became their enemy.

Doyin Okupe also manipulated them,Peter Obi and the whole headless mob until he revealed that Labour Party was a special purpose vehicle and that Peter Obi bought the Presidential ticket.

Reno Omokiri manipulated their brains for years until he recently turned coat and began rubbing their faces in the mud by association with Bola Tinubu.

How can a whole tribe be so GULLIBLE that all it takes to hypnotise them is to tell them what they want and wish to hear??

At times I watch ARISE TV and chuckle in mirth as Oseni Rufai and Ojjy Okpe manipulate their small brains and tell them what they want to hear....
Of course it boists TV ratings and controversy is good news. I bet Oseni goes to bed wondering and thinking of which lamba to drop on television each morning to get the mindless mob manipulated and hooked to his drivel.

This Quisling has the IPOB propagandists masturbating with glee on this thread.
One thing is clear (no matter the number of traitors and Quislings you invite to your IPOB forum to pander to your whims and caprices). Ironsi abolished the regions after the Ibo military arm carried out a lopsided coup on January 15th 1966 through his tribalistic Decree number 34.

Secondly Quislings never end well. They are used,dumped and can even lose their lives if they are not careful. Colonel Victor Banjo is the yard stick by which Quislings are measured. I have no RIP to waste on any Quisling who decides to sell out his own people and white wash history for reasons best known to himself alone.
