Inasmuch as we bottled the UCL spot this season, Arteta 'outwit' both. If not for the 3 games we lost in a row, we will be in 3rd by now. And if all these unnecessary losses get fixed, we can go all way next season.
As for all clubs spending, you're right about that. Let's wait and see

Lol, you can't say you outwit someone only to turn around and say "if not I lost 3, I would have outwitted you". Is that not contradictory?
Conte also lost too and if he won those matches, he would have been 3rd too. If tuchel won those matches, he would have been going for 2nd too.
You see how all these .. if if, no dey work in this context?

Analysing Arteta gameplan when we're trailing no dey give me hope, especially as he seems to be the only top6 coach lacking that. In 37 league matches, we've only done comeback win once. In fact last season, we did comeback win thrice or 4 times.
We've drawn 3 this season with 2 goalless draw. Meaning if they had scored us first, we would still have lost that match. I'm telling you this to show you that Arsenal not doing comeback win is not a new thing under Arteta, and that once we concede first, it's as good as end of game

Unless he improves on his in-game tactics and not just flinging in attackers after every loss, we won't outwit Conte and tuchel on a 38 game run with that kind of stats

Ah finesse
If I broke na my finesse

Omo, na wa ooo

Everybody get skeleton for cupboard ni?

OhBritannia:
Stop judging footballers base on the you not knowing them or not.
Time has gone when you buy players base on big names or you buy players from big clubs.
With an intelligent scout, you can buy a player from a low club from a non popular league and that player can out perform even players that are popular.
This is why klop of Liverpool is successful today, he is a very intelligent scout when it comes to buying of players.
He did so in Dortmund and now in Liverpool, look at his success rate.

I know Barcelona are having financial woes and the only way out is to go bring in quality and hungry players from non popular Leagues and clubs.
This Basey will play for any of the Elite club next season, ( mark my words) any club that gets him now have hit a jackpot.
Yesterday as i was watching him play, the only thought on my mind was him in our defense as our defender.
And i believe i wasn't the only one with the thought.
If xavi moves for him now, we can actually get him.
I don't know why all are underrating him, is it because he is Nigerian?

The question is

Do you know Calvin bassey before ystdy game? Have you consistently watched Rangers game this season to Draw up these conclusions?

If you haven't then you're not different from those who are judging same bassey based on the game he played against Ghana too

andrewbaba44:
Rodrigo is not a Leeds flop oga sir

Might not be outrightly called a flop, but he isn't even excelling at Leeds either. Man has been disappointing since he got there

mostob:
Depending on how our summer transfer goes, we can make top 4 next season. Man city and Liverpool will be the major contenders. Can Ten Haag get Man U running immediately? I wouldn't bank on that. Chelsea may likely have their usual 'special season' next season. Spurs is a 2-man team. Arsenal lost out on top 4 due to unseriousness and if we can correct that, we can go all the way.

Lol .
Let's put it this way.
*Man city and Liverpool top 2
*Chelsea under tuchel won't falter out of top4
*Conte will certainly improve his squad for next season.
*We also have man u under Ten Haag whom we don't know how they might fare next season.

Remember, we're not the only one spending. Chelsea and most especially Tottenham will spend and that will leave Arteta with tactical experience to battle it out with them

Do you trust Arteta to outwit Conte and tuchel in a 38 game rounds? I don't think so.

daveP:
Everything about his decisions scents of fear and ego in this aspect. We have to say the truth. Maybe he underrates the zeal and calibre of his opponents. He never jam. Lucas Torriera is coming back too. Whatever happens Sha, they better win that Europa. No excuses. Anything short of reaching the final is sack letter.


I'm still pained they gave him this renewal so early. Smh

Anything short of winning it is sack.

The way we dey go, na only Europa we fit enter UCL o. Top4 from next season don close shop

50d33q:
As i they like this make season end fess
Make we drag ourselves till next season, we need some clarification

All of us get one draggings to do or the other

Fkhalifa:
I get you, but English football can be full of dramas and I foresee one happening on Sunday

Lol... Let's see sha.

Cos if precedents are to occur, it'll be in Spurs favor instead of ours

donstan18:
Correct.

I can remember Zaha not supporting kneeling down for BLM, same with Mbappe I think, not supporting Bet.

There’s a player too who didn’t use plane I think.

They’re sincerely abusing Gueye by forcing him to supporting and believe what he hates. Gives me religious fanatics vibes, always attacking people who don’t believe in rubbish.

Dennis Bergkamp

Kholiwe:
So you don't subscribe to the fact that each and every human should be treated the same way irrespective of sex, race, religion, sexual orientation etc. Why would anyone refuse to wear something that symbolize equality unless he is against it.

Lol.. Na laidis another round of argument dey take start oo.

Make we just calm down for this talk na

Fkhalifa:

Something tells me Drama will happen on Sunday, Spurs will bottle it at Norwich and Arsenal will win Everton.
Arsenal fans will forget everything and begin to see positives that will land them in sifia pains next season.

Lol... I don't see Spurs bottling anything.

Conte is not a league bottler. When We got our chance, we blew it. Spurs will show us on Sunday how to play under pressure

johnjunior39:
I agree with you on this. My only anger is that we are losing that spot to Tottenham.

Just like Xhaka said,we are not ready for UCL.

We have a lot of decisions to make next season from transfers to tactics all the way to choosing a captain. It is time to add ruthless to our game. We need a loud leader. I will still choose xhaka over anyone presently in that squad(if only Gabriel speak english).

Enough of buying soft boys abeg.

Again let me turn to a town crier in this striker dept( G. Jesus purchase will only make sense if you are buying another striker like Martinez or Nunez or Oshimen)

Give Nikky a new contract and loan him out ,he can come handy only. He is still need to be exposed to good football before fighting for main role.

I can't wait for sailba to come back ,I have this feeling that if Arteta would allow him play for some games,he will realised that White was an unnecessary purchase.

Arteta need to learn man management at this point. If we calm down with some of our returnees we may not need buying too many players

1.. We need mixtures of young boys and matured guys in that attack esp more of matured guys. Having Smith Rowe and Martinelli dragging for one spot (both very young) no too gel. If to say we get person like Saint Maximin as a starter then Martinelli as a sub, e go dey balanced.

2.. We also need balance and quality in the squad depth. It's so bad that Partey injury derailed our season. If we have Partey and maybe a bissouma, then strong technical guys in midfield, we'll go far. While we're might say Arteta tried using this boys but one thing is certain... Arteta have been found out. How?
It's simple
Load the midfield with fast aggressive runners who will be very aggressive to our Midfielders and can press very well. To that to them 1st 15m and Odegaard would start sprawling on the floor, Xhaka will pass back and Elneny will play sef. Do that to our defenders while applying same to Midfield and our defenders will boot the ball up cos the Midfielders will obviously be hiding.
If Arteta doesn't change next season, na Ore we go enter so oo

3.. We should ditch this youngsters project. If we want to go far esp with young guys, let's go for 22-24yrs of age and not all these 18-20yr olds. EPL is for men and with time, these boys tire out. See how Gabriel is young and aggressive even when the going is tough, that's because he fits that age bill. Seeing Smith Rowe and Odegaard bend own for any pressure faced is frustrating. Na only Saka they try with sense for aggressiveness.

Las las, this club needs to re-evaluate their project. Next season will be damn tougher than this

FirstbornWds:
So, my "Wanted List" go just waste like that?

Lol.. no oo.

Rol.and17 suppose dey interested. The £1.5bn na already added incentive for am

50d33q:
And we wan qualify for UCL way be mid week
Don't leave me!!!

Omo... Na wahala oo.
I mean, how can we have such a poor midweek results. We also always put nonsense displays during the midweek matches

With the way e dey go, even to win Europa no sure us be that

mostob:
While I agree with most of the criticism directed at Arteta... please let's stop blaming him for some players departure.
AMN no wan play FB yet he is rubbish in Midfield
Auba was going haywire..
Torreira was homesick

The only fault is not bringing in players in January.
And for God's sake,they should stop buying kids..

Na this one be the fault gan gan.
While Elneny tried and steadied the ship, but the 12points we lost before his arrival proved very very costly.

Another thing is this..
Have we won any midweek match this season in the EPL? I don't think so

Liverpool home and away ... L
Everton.... L
Man u.... L
Tottenham.... L
Crystal palace home and away... D & L
Newcastle.... L

Aside Wolves and Aston villa, we've lost the rest.

What's wrong?

FirstbornWds:
Mostob and Jodera...


How far? Una go need to print this one out and paste to get better people to deliver Arterta on a platter.

Lol... Even though the end of the season tale was a sad end, I would still acknowledge the fact that Arteta tried. I'm angry we missed out on top 4, I'm angry that his in-game tactical decision when trailing is poor, but him just try.

Stupid January decisions finally caught up with us

Fkhalifa:
Arterta himself dey see light pass, maybe he will bring in De ligt next season sef

Omo... See punchline

50d33q:
Another CB
Don't leave me!!!!

Hahahaha

Fkhalifa:
You have seen what the future may look like, Newcastle are not in Europe next year, Arsenal are in Europa. That's another threat to Arsenal's position.
Newcastle will spend and in 5/6 years time they would have probably won the league and UCL before the gunners.
My dear bro, kill that feelings, goan enjoy football elsewhere in europe until things finaly get better.

Omo, I no fit kill that feeling sha ooo.
Highest my emotions go just reduce

50d33q:
Lmao
Arteta drag Una enter wotowoto

donjazet1:
You surely can see how you're wrapping yourself up in an entanglement of illogical webs. You are literally arguing against dictionary meanings. So if there wasn't a word for infanticide years ago, it means our forefathers didn't commit infanticide right?

Like I said before, if there's no law then there's no sin. That has been my point and that's what my argument with you have been all about.

It's sin/wrong now and should be rightly condemned if anyone is guilty. But before, it wasn't seen as wrong so why condemn people.

I think you're the one just bringing fire to this cos what you're doing is highly illogical.

Christian males are supposed to be in a squad of 12 bros just hanging out on road trips . Like a boy band with wild eyed fans washing the lead.singers feet with tears

_{I am just shit posting}

Lol... I see the drift

GloriousGbola:
This is the problem. This happened centuries ago. But Muslims today use it to justify marrying children. If marrying children was not a sadly conspicuous part of Islamic culture, particularly in backward countries no one would be shouting Muhammed was xxxx.


But right in Nigeria we have sitting governors (yerima) marrying 10 year olds and citing Prophet Muhammad

Christians have it lucky. They were not obsessed with proudly documenting everything for posterity. Las Las they will say, it was allegorical.

Muslims today practicing Paedophile are at fault. .

That doesn't mean that Mohammed is a Paedophile according to his time. They are enlightened and should know better

Jesus Christ did not marry. That doesn't mean we Christianity shouldn't do so

donjazet1:
I didn't term Mohammed a pedophile.
Wikipedia did. Oxford English dictionary did. Merriem webster dictionary did. This your Amala turning no be here. :

The act of having sex with a 9 year old is called pedophilia or child molesting or rape, seeing as the infant is incapable of giving consent.
Argue with the dictionary.

As for your point about cannibalism, I know I'm not a cannibal because the literal definition of that is eating another human beings meat and I sure as hell don't do that.

What I know I am is an omnivore, I eat both plants and meat of other animals. If being an omnivore which is a basic biological trait, not a social construct, is viewed as negatively in the future with new information out of our reach now, (which is very very unlikely seeing as biology has been constant for centuries), then I guess we were very wrong in being omnivores. That is what it is. That is the basic principle of idealism. A constant progressive push to make the world a better place.

Lol.. you call him Paedophile because dictionary says so. And that's the problem.

You're using today's dictionary to condemn ancient people for that.

I remember when I was young, the word "gay" means bright or light hearted. You can conveniently use it to compliment then, but now you can't and dictionary will back you up.

You're an omnivore today but we just need a change of extremist acceptance worldwide and it'll derided just as gay is

CAPdan21:
DonJ problem is this:
If it is proved scientifically that indomie causes cancer
Propagnda DonJ: Indomie causes cancer, no one should eat Indomie, they have to stop producing Indomie everywhere

Me: I have been eating Indomie since and I don't have cancer neither did my father have cancer, so it's probably not that bad

Extremist DonJ: You're a shameless Indomie eater, don't u have conscience, where is your morals, this thing is killing people but you're eating it, you have to copy me by writing a 2 page essay on Nairaland on the dangers of eating Indomie or you're supporting those killer Indomie making companies...

Replace Indomie and cancer with whatever and you'll get DonJ

Ellexy:
Jodera it does not matter the age and time for me, a child is a child. A menstruating 9 year old is still a child, I don't need education for this one, common sense is enough.

You can say this because you're educated. It's easy for you to say.

Perhaps, You don't know how education really changed us for the better and helps also to reason things easily. Don't underrate education boss

donjazet1:
This point isn't logical. That something has not been named doesn't mean it's not bad or good. At this point, you're literally arguing about terms and definitions. Surely you see how awkward that is.

It's not awkward. Some people believe killing of animals is bad while others don't. It's all about term and definition. You termed a prophet a Paedophile and you're always hitting on that term and you're telling me about terms and definitions? It's funny nao

If enough exposure is made, most people might be termed cannibal. Will you now call your relative or friend a cannibal for eating meat 5yrs ago?

donjazet1:
There lies your answer. Yes that is literally the definition of what he did. Ignorant or not. That doesn't mean I'm judging the action. We're literally describing the action.

Nobody is saying the action is not bad.

The name calling is what is bad. That's why calling that ignorant kid a thief is wrong

CAPdan21:
Even the Bible says "where there is no law, there's no transgression"...You can't fault people for not complying to non-existent laws

Exactly. Where there's no law, there's no sin.

Why should one call someone Paedophile for what wasnt in existence then

Ellexy:
You didn't just compare a year old kid to full grown middle age man

I'm comparing the reasoning and ignorance.

It's science and education that made us know what is puberty and maturity that brought rise to paedophile being bad. What happens to our fathers who are ignorant? Do you insult them?

raumdeuter:
Who told you it wasnt okay? WHo determines what is Okay or not?
In their time it was Okay by their standard of then
Just 60yrs ago same sex people would be stoned to death, Even as recent as when I was in Uni, there was a cross dresser in OAU Dapo Adaralegbe, he was always getting beat up in School. Its the same thing Bobrisky is using to blow these days and rolling around with celebrities

To your question

1000 yrs ago A man who marries a 9yr old menstruating girl with her parents consent is called a normal responsible adult
Today he is called a pedophile

Same way Donj who is eating meat today will be called a normal human
In 200yrs from now eating meat will be called killer or cannibal or whatever terminology they use then

Simple.

I don't know why he's calling those paedophiles now when in those days it's not.

Would he be happy if someone calls him a cannibal for eating meats?
