I still stand on what I said. We missed Giroud last two seasons (off course we can't miss him for ever you skunck head), and ten years ago Walcott was a better finisher than Ronaldo.

Never argue analysis with me. You can argue history but definitely not tactical analysis.

10 years ago is actually 2010. As in 2010. Ronaldo's peak.

Bia spy, wetin you bin smoke wey mk you type that crap up there?

In fact, I give up. Just admit you goofed let's move forward. Nobody is above mistake na

Spy360:
There is a difference criticising poor performance and saying a player isn't good enough or that the player lacks potentials.

Ability to decipher between these two is what causes a lot of emotional arguments on this thread.

When someone consistently drops poor performances, doesn't it mean he probably lacks the potential in that role? Xhaka isn't a good DM and his performance says so. Should we not say it as it is? Should we not demand for upgrade as it's what's best for the club? I agree bluerray was overly critical of Amn, but then would you blame him? Was that not the path that made us keep wilshere and diaby for almost/over 10yrs in this club. Was that not the reason we're mostly jostling for only top4?
It's good that Arteta is a good coach and also tactically good, but like any successful coach, he needs to be ruthless. Thank goodness he did that with guen. I know someone like Wenger will never do Arteta did to guen.

Anyways, congratulations to Martinez. Sad he left, but he really deserved that move. Argentina can't have a good goalkeeper like him yet depend on Romero as number 1. Glad he took his chance. Wishing him all the best.
Really a hard choice to make, but then selling him and keeping Leno is still a great option coupled with the fees. So it's all good.
Hoping we bring in partey and a good am. Else convert willian to am. If we can get partey, I feel our transfer is almost perfect this season

Spy360:
All of us singing Arteta praise like 'joy to the world', I remember someone here was actually campaigning for Jose Mourinho.

. Who was against Arteta's signing from inception?. The person that said he wants mourinho, we all know that everybody here was against him for bringing such. Moreover, he said he's no longer an arsenal fan again, so why are you bringing receipt of someone who's no longer an arsenal fan?.

Also, you too like this "I told you so" of a thing and wouldn't want us enjoy the moment. Xhaka was under par and we criticized as usual (as fans). Now he's improved, should we still be criticising?.

Take elneny as a case study, he wasn't too performing wen he first came, if really he's unplayable now, should we still be criticising and complaining about him and he should be sold? Come on, put things in context and let's just enjoy the team.
If everyone dey bring receipts, even you would be found guilty.

Nb: my responses here are for this post and the other one you talked about arsenal fans being like false prophets.

macjireh:
ogbono fili fili....we didn't ask u to feel 4us...wen arsenal played Fulham,, we were sure of victory and wished u same,, yet all u haters do is come here and start having bad belle

And who said he's an arsenal fan?

BlueRayDick:
Just look at this one again

We complain he is not good enough to play DM because that is what we see when we watch him play that position. How is that an issue ?

He's playing well now in a more advance set up now and we acknowledge the fact that he's playing well. What exactly do u want again? For us to apologize that we pointed out what we saw or what ?

E tire me o. I no no wetin him want make we do

Spy360:
It's funny how you guys are now seeing Xhaka's actual role in the team. Before you and Blueraydick (I don't want to even mention iamoyindamola) have always thought he was an out and out DM. You blame Xhaka that he is too slow, can't pass and all those bullshits. Now you have seen that Arsenal does not have any DM in the team. The fact that Xhaka manages to cover that role should be a plus for him not a minus.

You want make I box you this early afternoon?
Wen you go just agree with me once..lol.

At least, I don see say xhaka don improve and he isn't like before, or rather, Arteta played to his strength instead of his weakness unlike Wenger and Emery. Now he's improved, make I still dey cast am ni?

BlueRayDick:
Exactly! That is the issue I have with his post. Even commentator dey hail the guy as of the key players in the Arsenal's resurgence under Arteta. How person go just write am off like that na.

Tbh, xhaka has massively improved die. The way the team is now, I'll prefer xhaka pairing with anybody. Except if partey comes, ehen. But before then, xhaka is the best bet.

iamoyindamola:
If Arteta don't add partey or a good DM it will be the same thing all over again

I know. We all agree upgrade is needed, but for now, xhaka is still good. He gives key passes, he good aerially, tho not good at DM, but under Arteta, he's one of the keys while our passing out from back is successful, he's also one of the keys our lwb plays like a winger, thereby making auba to effectively play the false 9(like an inside forward 9).
These are the things I want you to know xhaka is bringing to the team. He's not less useful the way you're painting him out to be

iamoyindamola:
You still don't get it, mustafi is not bad the set up made him to be atleast his stats are here.
But what does xhaka do in the midfield

Bros bros...
I'm one of xhaka critics before oo.
But you see xhaka now, I'll prefer him in that our first team now.
He's massively improved and he brings a lot, I mean, a lot to the team

iamoyindamola:
Abi na

lol..
But we don settle d matter for house na..

iamoyindamola:
Roland17, blueraydick, spy360
Good midfielders can shield defence which arsenal lack

I no believe the story though.

But I want to ask, do they conduct interview through WHATSAPP CALL??
As in WhatsApp call? Lol.

Even in Nigeria, how many people use WhatsApp call to communicate cos of line -breaking due to network issue?. How much more for official interview?..
If this isn't a pointer that this story is fake, I don't know what is

Ibime:
Atum God is not confused

Unlimited22:
It doesn't.

He's had a great game, but speaking from seven years of experience, don't get used to it.

This caution strong

Jencejyde:
New Season new hopes! Gabriel is really good on the ball and reminds me of a prime Koscielny that goes tight on the player he is marking.
Hopefully we can see a formation where Willian plays Centrally as i feel he is not suited to playing on the wings although he gives us something which im sure arteta wants which is ability to retain and distribute the ball in tight spaces . A pairing of him and Ceballos would be fun to watch. early days but a good start nonetheless.

Longest time bro...
Even our fa cup win couldn't bring you out.

Nice to have you back

Abeg who get Streaming link...
This link wey I dey use no gel

iamoyindamola:
Argh!!!
You keep making some bots important

...
Don't mind me

BikeMan:
Dude, it's just some kids and overpriced Pepe

we know...

iamoyindamola:
Bad energy

come to think of it..
You don change your signature..
Why na??

iamoyindamola:
Why wasting your energy
Ask her what she thinks nothing
What club she supports nothing
So what's the point

.
That ndidi of a babe girl na case.

ndidibabe:
signing like Elneny is a major reason why Arsenal will always play on Thursday evening....

Hmmm... Na wa oo

iamoyindamola:
Yeah Google jblsports stream or wait 30 mins to match day and check nairaland front page you will see links
There are also apps to use though

OK... Thanks a lot bro

Kbs468:
Hahahahaha.

Don't worry. just expect an Ozil-like deadline day transfer for them

lol..
I go dey wait

I beg, any site to live stream arsenal match?

Spy360:
Draxler or Gueye plus cash?

Lol.
I don't believe that rumor so I can't even answer it.

My response was to you saying Arteta will give him a chance back, so I'm wishing him good luck cos he's an arsenal player and he needs a 2nd chance if the coach says so.
Since he's an arsenal player, I'll support him for the good of the team

Spy360:
In France he is rated above Aouar. But that's not the issue. It seems he has settled with Arteta based on recent feeds from Colney

OK.. It's better for him.
I hope he excels this season as an arsenal player

Spy360:
PSG are offering Draxler or Gueye plus cash for Guendouzi.

Take or leave?

. Why will they offer gueye for guendouzi ?

Except it wasn't the ex-everton gueye. Plus cash sef .

Seems I'm not seeing the xaviesta in guendouzi the way guys are seeing him...

Kbs468:
expect these two this season guys

I swear KBS, if we no see these two guys, I go pull shirt com fight you oo


The kind confidence you dey drop for these two eh

DExponential:
Not today Oga. I don't have the time to look for receipts.

. This wan na real head-slamming receipt
