You're right.

Stop creating false impression comparing 5 years of work to 3 years of work

Those who can't interpret stats will assume this is this season stats

Rodri is always top 3 for passing while Jogginghoe is never in the top 20 except for Sarri season

andrewbaba44:
Ronaldo no Dey pass this stage for them nah

Not to this level of being disgraced against Villarreal

Roland17:
A myriad of issues escalated the situation between Niles and Arteta. Don't forget, Niles was an integral piece to Arteta's tactics when he first arrived Arsenal as coach. Arteta utilized Niles as a WB with the freedom to play higher up and the middle when we had possession and with his speed and technique he was a good cover on a back 5 defense. This tactic and relationship helped us win the 2020 FA Cup/ Community Shield. These performances also led to an England call up for Niles.

Niles was convinced he deserved a chance to play in the middle of the park, considering the issues we encountered in that area of the pitch, Arteta thought other wise and to make matters worse, Arsenal later got Lokonga in the summer of 2021. Prior to that Arteta had turned down a legit 20M offer from Wolves for Niles and Niles was interested in leaving Arsenal. Arteta promised him more playing time which never happened. Lokonga arrived and started getting more playing time in the middle and Niles believed he was better than Lokonga, a lack of playing time led to an even more frustrated Niles.

He is finally allowed to leave Arsenal on loan to West Brom where he played in his preferred midfield position with WB, nothing spectacular but decent, however, WB were relegated. After his return from WB, he remained frozen out of the team. Niles expressed his frustration on Social Media and Arteta did what he does best, he banished him to train with the reserves and blocked a deadline transfer to Everton.

At this point, the relationship between both was absolutely beyond repair and the locker room was already tensed, especially if you consider the bulk of Arsenal young players liked Niles because of the Hale end connection. He finally got his wish to leave and was loaned to Roma where he is barely getting any playing time. No way Cedric is better than Niles but like I said, a lot of things had gone wrong and he was disgruntled with his stagnation at Arsenal. In my opinion, while I think Niles overestimated his midfield abilities, he should have been allowed to leave Arsenal for Wolves when that bid came or even Everton.

All in all, it sad, especially when I remember he came through our Academy.

E be like say the Niles fit be problem child with no home training if you check him mother doings. Maybe he fit done loose guard anyhow for training.

Roland17, what is Artetas exact beef with Maitland Niles? How is Cedric better than him?

And Bonucci said they play better without Ronaldo. SMH

Ibime and popizaino, you guys didn't have to wait too long.

Good for him. I don't expect my DM to be Fabregas though. Perfectly fine with a traditional DM. That's more a problem for popizaino. I was just answering iamoyindamola question as to whether Hojberg can throw pass like Jorginho did vs Newcastle

I bought One and Luna this evening

The new wave of COVID in China is another Source of concern. Ironically, some nations are lifting restrictions too. We live in interesting times. Still in my paxɠ and stables.

China too dey fear. Common Omicron, dem go lockdown 50 million people

Feds forward guidance projecting inflation to drop to 4.1% is pumping markets as well as the fact the rate hike was 0.25% as expected

I was not in any cøins as I don't gamble on what someone might say. Market will still come back

Problem in Japan developing with earthquake at the Fukushima nuclear plant. Those who remember the last earthquake at the nuclear plant in 2010 will remember how markets were affected. Watching that situation to see the seriousness of the disaster

TabletMan:
Sometimes I just see some reasoning on nairaland and will be shocked. That someone hates a country doesn't make that person to be blindfolded by how things works
After selling their oil in Yaun, they will still need forex to buy Western goods which they Cherish so much abi na Yaun Dem go use buy Lamborghini? Or will they start buying Chinese cars with so much Yaun that will be in their reserves? What of buying clubs and pumping money in UK football leagues?
What of going to London to showcase their rides and expensive lifestyles?
Some of the Western industries in China will not even export their goods to KSA if they're not paying in $or£ .
This will just make China to be extremely rich and nothing else. Buying cheap oil from frustrated Sellers with unstable Yaun and selling your goods with $ and £.

Well he is right and he is wrong

The petrodollar system is what keeps the dollar strong

Countries biggest expenditure is in energy and they must keep plenty dollar reserves in order to buy oil

People can buy cars with their native currency

If oil stops being sold in dollars, the dollar will lose its advantage

But I don't see that happening any time soon. Nixon guaranteed Saudi Arabian security if they continue to sell their oil in dollars. Highest Saudis will throw China a small bone but they will still sell majority of their oil in dollars

And where he is wrong and overoptimistic is that Bitcoin will replace the dollar

Branzy:
The American st billionaires

Kante, Mendy, Rudiger and Ziyech won't want to play for such an owner

popizaino:
My guy can't afford to lose over 4bn worth of assets at a go.



https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/17953844/roman-abramovich-moscow-fleeing-israel-superyachts-sanctions/

He has already lost more than 6bln

They seized 70 houses from him worth 500m in UK as well

His share prices have collapsed by a few billion, even Israel are coming under pressure to sanction their Jewish-Russian oligarchs. Na why Baba dey run go Turkey from Tel Aviv

Baba is under attack left, right and centre

donstan18:
Ole and Greenwood would have comfortably beaten this ATM side, but Ronaldo ruined everything for Ole and ManU.

raumdeuter:
Aubameyang, Adama and Ferran were not exactly lighting their previous clubs on fire when they left too and they are lifting Barcelona
Add Depay, DeJong, Braithwaite, Araujo, Gavi, and those jesters at Barcelona

Oblak Gimenez and Koke have been in European limelight for over 5 seasons now. They are now elite players, It doesn't matter where Simeone took them from
Lemar Carasco too there was a reason Simeone blew that much money on DePaul

TAA is one of the best Right back in the world, it doesnt matter where Klopp got him from, Busquets is one of the best DM in the world, it doesnt matter where Pep got him from, Muller is one of the best in his role it doesnt matter where Bayern got him from

Someone will discover a player from a place, No one knew Edoaurd Mendy last season yet no one will see him in goal and think you dont have a top keeper

Bone that talk

Why would Athleti manager be sacked for being in top 4. That is Athleti, not a traditional big club. Jurgen Klopp retention after last season performance should give you a clue.

raumdeuter:
Based on the team of Depaul Griezzman, Koke, Kondogbia, Felix Gimenez Correa Carasco and Oblak

That team has more quality than what Barcelona is parading

Griezman is a Barca flop
Kondogbia is an Inter flop
Correa has always been a flop
DePaul has been playing for Udinese and no one cared about him till Argentina included him in the last Copa. He's still meh.
Nobody knows Oblak, Gumenez or Koke till Simeone brought them from nowhere


Why should they be better than Barca of DeJong, Dembele, Coutinho and other generational talents that hundreds of millions were lavished on?

raumdeuter:
Simeone shouldnt be dragging league places with this type of Barcelona, The worst Barcelona of the past 2 decades

Based on what?

Na the money spent on that soft boy João Felix signing dey confuse una say him get players

I never hear of all dem Lodi, Reinaldo till I saw them in Athleti

His two main strikers Griezmann and Suarez are even Barca rejects, so why should they be better than the club that considered them not good enough

Manure have humbled Ororo career. Nigga could have stayed at Juve winning league

Calling for Simeone sack two weeks ago cos he temporarily dropped out the top 4 after 10 years of stellar results. Is that not wickedness?

Athleti back in top 4 and UCL quarter

Match finishes 2-1 to Manure

This Starlink stream from SpaceX satelite is too fast. My TV hasn't even caught up yet. Elon Musk is the man.

Simeone red for arguing that goal with the fourth official

If you haven't seen it yet, refresh your stream

Why did VAR not rule out that Ronaldo goal?

UEFA ojoro

VAR check

It's a goaaaaaaaall

Roooooonaaaaaaaaldoooooo!!!

Caaaaaaavaaaaaaaaaannniiiii

No more UCL or EPL

Hesgoal is gradually becoming useless

Are they based in Russia?

Roland17:
It reads like generations (Grandparents from both sides) before him moved quite a bit across the Soviet Union/ Eastern Europe but he was born in Saratov, Russia.

He definitely has Ukrainian heritage from his maternal grandparents.

A Ghana boy born in Nigeria is still a Ghana man

Basically man is being punished left, right and centre for supporting a war (which he doesn't even support) against his own people

However as the owner of Evraz steel which produces tanks for the Russian army, the sanctions are appropriate

Young gee. Him babe resemble those Russian Japanese

Come to find out Abramovic is from Ukraine. Double wahala

Sanctions no dey work, Sanctions no dey work

Only 2 weeks, fowl nyash done open. Imagine brothers for North Korea and Cuba wey done suffer for decades

By the time Russia begin resemble North Korea, some people go learn economics by force
