Arsenal mumu Sha...why dem give Arteta new contract?...If he come bottle UCL qualification, what next...
CC: Jodera

Lol, according to arsenal standard he's done well.

Not only have he United the fans from the diversity they once had, he's brought unity and fighting spirit to the squad. His also cut out bad excesses as well as the wage bill while reducing drastically the overage players. He's done well and the only reward is to tie him down. 3yrs Is very fair enough.

Most arsenal fans are looking towards our matches with optimism compared to previous years as our style of play have improved.
Tbh, I support it

nitrogen:
You get sense die. Two issues, Ole’s style was not sustainable, and Rauf did a very bad job.

Nobody should blame any player for this shyte.

Gbam!!!

AnfieldFan:
Yea, the Kop refers to him as Bobby...

Lol, yeah
I do confuse him name with Robbo (Robertson)

Cyberrex:
God bless you, the same wolve game wey trincao and adama wan tear Fred

we all know say na agenda dey wan agend, but for a man utd fan, at least we owe ourselves the truth

Lol, I won't necessarily call it agenda (except if it's from rival fans tho), I just feel most man u fans thought that Man u will excel this season cos of the league result but Ole style of play was never ever gonna be sustainable in the long run and it exploded this season.

I also felt Man u should still have gotten top4 still with this squad but Rangnick did a very very very bad job no matter how they wanna paint it. Rangnick should have gotten this team to top4 this season or at least compete with Man u being at the advantage. But he fvcked up

Sometimes a team would allegedly "do well" the previous season but if that structure isn't improved upon, they should be ready to falter very well by next season. I remember 2015/16 season when arsenal finished 2nd(when Leicester won the league), most of my friends who were arsenal fans thought that we'll crazily compete for the league next season, but watching how we played especially the way we'll falter under any intense press made me caution my friends that we might not see top4 next season, especially with Klopp's Liverpool building momentum and guardiola in the helm. Fast forward till the next season and arsenal didn't see top4 under Wenger as we went from bad to worse.

Granted, I might troll Ronaldo cos of banter ish but looking how man u played disjointedly last season under Ole and still came up with wins, it's only a matter of time everything will explode and that was what happened this season. I remember how disjointedly man u played against Wolves and Southampton this season (games before Ronaldo arrival) and you'll know it's just a matter of time it'll explode especially as most EPL teams improve from their previous season. Ronaldo or not, man u would have faltered this season under Ole as it seems he was already found out.

popizaino:
I don't know if I should call some people here man made gods because they have eyes but can't see or just foolish because they can see but seems their brain interpret what their eyes have seen wrongly. Imagine saying Andres iniesta winning euro 2012 best player is a mystery. This is the same human being wishing seun had a block button on nairaland . What an irony.

Lol... A whole Barca Midfield is just good.
Iniesta of 2012 a mystery?


Time indeed issa basta**rd.

mostob:
I want him to leave...Xhaka is not soft but just too hotheaded. His yellow card against Man U is a perfect example.

I swear, the guy too hotheaded.
He might be playing good game before you know he'll just do one stupid stuff

SideshowBob:
As a coach which midfield trio will you take to build your team? A or B.

Team A obviously.

They played their peak in same era and we knew who was always subdued. Strength to strength also, Team B never matched team A

mostob:

Make Dem no give am abeg...
I don't think we have any captain material right now. Ode is too gentle and soft...the was Rice was bullying Nketiah yesterday, he wouldn't dare it with Viera or Tony Adams on the pitch.

Lol .. What's the reason you don't want Xhaka to be given?
If it's been soft, I don't think he is

patrickmuf:
I really don't know if it's the management of City and Liverpool or if it's down to Pep and Klopp on the other side but the respective players are not always on social media before games or after games...They seem more focused on the job at hand...

Hopefully, Ten Hag will address this issue when he comes. I am tired of seeing our players on instagram and Twitter before and after games as if it's what they think of in the course of the game...

it's down to the coach. I've read on some articles how Pep have cautioned Mendy and B. Silva to cut their social media activities most times. Reading through it then, it was one of the reasons Mendy was also mostly benched in Man city whenever he was fit

Roland17:
Can we talk about our improvement in offensive and defensive set pieces? We are now dangerous and difficult to defend against during set pieces because our players are finding the space inside the box to attack the ball.

This is something that haven't been credited enough. Arsenal of before and arsenal of now, I can see that vast improvement in terms of our setpieces defensively and offensively

Silentgroper:
Well he's nt a great passer either.. He's defensively poor also, so how una wan take do am..

I think it's easies to improve goal scoring wise than defensively..

Well, he's good attacking-wise, can dribble and have average cross tho.

In modern game, his defensive contribution (1st half of this season) wasn't bad. So if he can be improved on in terms of defensive positioning and better decisions, then he'll be a good fullback. He's still young and raw

Spy360:
Nketiah did a good job playing as a lone forward, and making sure those defenders are busy watching their backs. Which favoured Arteta's conservative approach to the game.

One thing he offers is the ability to take on his man, alone.

But he needs to improve in his finishing in terms of adding more power to his shot without affecting accuracy

I did not want to say anything about Nketiah but you and Jodera pushed me into this comment

True... He would have scored at least a brace ystdy if only those his shots had more power in that his accuracy.

I've really been impressed with his performance from Chelsea's game

mostob:
Well...let's see what happens. If we later qualify for UCL, Xhaka will be breaking a jinx

I tell you.
The guy sef don dey talk say him dey open to captainship

mostob:
no mind spy
I agree with you on Nketiah. He was part of why yesterday's match was funny to me. Baba will run to the wing, receive pass then cut in through Zouma's toro and shoot
He repeated it thrice yesterday...even ESR tried it once but bro Lokoja shoot way outside the stadium
One mind is telling me we should allow Nketiah to stay, another mind is telling me all na fuse...you know how our players normally improve anytime contract negotiation is around na...

Lol, it depends on him. If he wants to be like a 2nd choice striker, then arsenal can and renew his contract if not then he's off. He's proven that he's a good attacker esp in this our trying time but I feel he'll be thinking about his age and how he should be starting at clubs even if it's at a midtable club.

I wish him all the best on his decision tho

Vinnie2000:
Lols. You use bigger question to answer my question. God can NEVER have anything to do with Evil. Only Satan knows where he collected it from. But i suspect it's from him Cain became bad.

Lol. Well, don't blame me, I had to use that question drive at something cos I believe your thoughts is that since Cain is the seed of Satan then he'll have to exhibit some of the traits.

Now, why I do know is that God created us in his image and likeness. That likeness also have the ability of freewill and thoughts. That's the main reason why the thought of pride came to Lucifer.

That's also why the angels from heaven were so attracted to the earthly beautiful women, left their abode and started taking them as wives. Think for a moment, who tempted those angels to do such things? Would you say they're seeds from devil(or the serpent)too or did the devil tempt those angels into doing such? No.

That's to tell that you can't lay it solely on Cain being the devil's seed for doing that when even angels can err even when they're close to God. Man as it is, he's fighting against his evil thought as well as against temptation of the devil.

omochelsea004:
I won't agree 100% with the OP assertion, because of the part where he stated that the snake had intercourse with Eve...

But I think he is actually right with the rest. To the best of my knowledge SEX is what they tagged as FORBIDDEN FRUIT

The first sin the first man & woman who happens to be Adam & Eve committed is having sexual intercourse, & I believe it was actually branded "forbidden fruit" maybe because of the young ones, or just to keep us wondering the exact way we are right now, & again they also call the forbidden fruit "Apple" in some areas.

My own personal view

1. It was after the act that they both realized they were naked, there by covering their private parts with leaves, it was stated that they have been living there lives normally not knowing what unclothedness is long before then, so how did they got to know their private parts immediately after eating the so called "forbidden fruit" why not cover their mouth or ear, or nose instead? Why the private parts alone?

2. We are made to understand that God curse them afterwards that "man shall work very hard & suffer before being able to cater for the family, which of course is Eve & the seed that will come with the sexual act "offspring", & that women shall pass through labour before giving birth to babies which is still also related to the sin they committed, it all pointed to "sexual act"

3. According to Catholic church definition: Baptism is a sacrament that takes away First & original sin, (ìbatisí ni sacrament kan tí ó mún èsè àkósè kúrò)

What is the sin a baby inherited from his/her parents immediately at birth? A baby that doesn't even know anything at that point, that it is after baptism that the infant is washed free of the first sin? Of course it is because babies are conceived through sexual intercourse! We are all products of sexual intercourse & that was how we all inherited the first sin

4. There is this saying that the blessed Virgin Mary conceived of the holy spirit, without the stain of the first sin,

So what do we think is that first sin?

I believe according to God's plan, the time Adam & Eve engaged in the sexual act is not the appropriate time for them to do so, as I believe it would still happen, but at the very appropriate time that God had planned for it to happen!

As to the bestiality op is referring to, I am not sure of that one o, but all I'm saying is that sex is the word replaced by "forbidden fruit"

How I wish I could talk and explain all these in my native language! As English no be my mate.

You make very very good points Tbh.

But I want to ask, why did the Bible later talk about sex as intercourse in the next few chapters instead of the forbidden fruit? Of what use is it to conceal the word only to further expose it and not talk about the forbidden fruit again?

Silentgroper:
Y nt just convert him to winger..

Cos he's shown he's not a good goalscorer

Vinnie2000:
Have you ever reasoned where Cain learnt the evil vices of Envy and Killing from? because Adam and Eve were portrayed as innocent individuals. Tell me!

Cain and Abel was already in the world out of God's presence(garden of Eden). It might be Cain, it Might be Abel, but Cain just chose to be Wicked and envious

Moreover, I'll love to ask . God created Lucifer (or Satan). Who taught him the evil vices, pride and wickedness he always had and exhibits?

johnjunior39:
We should rest Saka next match abeg, with or without him? We can beat Leeds there serious matches ahead.

I will rest him and Tomi honestly

Except Tomi have niggling discomforts I don't see why we should rest him.

But I completely agree with you on resting Saka for next week (maybe come in the last 10 minutes of 2nd half) but I don't Arteta will want to do that knowing that he's seeing all games as final now. I'm just afraid of the guy, every week he's just holding his legs

Skimpledawg:
Na Lordcat. The maga kept teasing kokane about the bet almost everyday till he cast

I was shocked the guy deactivated.

Shey it was 50k sef

Na 50k oo
And e be like say na UCL match cos the team he was hoping on to win won the first leg which gave him so much hope that he started pressuring Kokane

afrodoc2:
The guy na case.

I dey vex for the guy dat time but after I see the apology letter I just weak.

The guy turned to geography teacher. It went south, but if it had gone north.

Owu no good.

Na that side even make me laugh pass

mostob:
With the form of Kane and Son, I'm afraid the bolded will not count...let's just win our matches.
Did you see Son's second goal against leceister yesterday? Omo...e enter body

Lol, I saw Son goal ystdy, but to me it still doesn't matter. If Tottenham was playing Chelsea, I would have been afraid, but they're playing Liverpool away, who are in crazy form and are also eyeing the league. They both needed the match and Liverpool is at an advantage

If you tell me to pick between the group of Son/kane/kuluveski or Salah/Mane/Jota/Diaz, I know who I'll put my money on.

mostob:
Nketiah needs to improve his finishing though...
Imagine it was ESR or Martinelli with those chances....no doubt,one will have entered.

Saka and Tomi should be fine...

Saka was tired and Tomi had a slight tightness in his calf. They should rub aboniki balm on that calf o cos we need him to face Son.

I swear, aboniki balm plus massage. We've been protecting Tomi for months, make that him calf no fall our hand oo.

As for Nketiah, I just believe he was unlucky ystdy especially that his effort from Elneny fine pass. The rest mostly was just lacking enough power which made Fabianski to point it away. But then, once I see accuracy like that, it's just time that Nketiah needs before he'll start hitting the Back of the net frequently. Aside that, I love the way he carve out chances for himself and his movements.(hope spy no go look me bad eye )

Vinnie2000:
The OP is correct. Honestly, what is a 'Forbidden fruit'? Its likely Sex, dats y Adam and Eve now knew dey were naked and started feeling guilty. Dis is the same you feel when you Fvck for d first time. Surprised, confused and guilty! Make we just leave am and believe the bible's version sha!

So the other fruits they were meant to eat was what??

EMIRofPUSSY:
How?
Do you have a counter-assertion?

Prove me wrong.

Genesis 4v1: then Adam had intercourse with his wife and she became pregnant, she bore a son...and named him Cain


So how come you claimed the snake's seed is Cain when the Bible EXPLICITLY stated that Adam's seed is Cain??

nani667:
#RangnickOUT
#TrashfordOUT
#TrashlangaOUT

lol, which one be trashlanga again

BlueRayDick:
Don’t be so sure . If Elneny sees a Belgian or French team that’s a regular on the champions league offer him a bigger pay and assure him of regular shirt he will most likely leave . He’s an African before anything and Africans mostly follow the money

Na true talk sha.
Arsenal should just do and offer him contract sharp sharp. Elneny na very very good squad player

BlueRayDick:
No , not Dozie . Dozie na mad man , he no deactivate .

Dozie did the macabre dance after much pressure , see his apology below

Omo, see apology letter

50d33q:
Na dozie be that
Lordcat went on to call his scummies family on top bet the werey lost and ran away, if na kokane lose that bet them for close that our thread

Lol, man u thread suppose induct those two to their hall of famers. Those two are scummies legends

50d33q:
The guy quick resurgence with xhaka just came in when we are missing partey
Both won't be for a squad player

BlueRayDick:
That’s the problem .The two of them along with Nketiah are presently doing well and will give the management serious problem in planning for next season . They either get the management’s assurance of first team chance or they listen to advances of suitors elsewhere

Lol, I don't know about Xhaka but I think Elneny have no qualms in wanting to be a squad player. Elneny said after the victory over Chelsea and Man utd that him and his camp are just waiting for arsenal to table him a contract that he'll happily sign. That he sees arsenal like a family.

Na Xhaka I'll suspect that he won't want to settle for squad role esp now that he's singing a different song about him ready once more to be arsenal captain. Imagine!
