so what happened there? selecting events from a Thierry Henry cut edit video to prove England pikin
and the game ended 2-0

I know the game ended 2-0. But the video talked about the controversy against arsenal. From the video, we could deduce the other goal was fair and square(tho I won't blame the ref for the pk cos Rooney dived, and it depends on the position of the ref). But the other incessant red foul offenses which wasn't given is really shambolic. Maybe you can bring the one we did against you guys in that same game.

Swissh:
This is what you call cheating . The ojoro match that ended our unbeaten streak

When they said man u is England pickin then, this is an example of what it means.
Like WTF!!

Well, I think the talks is still underway. Mind you, it isn't only ozil that refused wage cut. I heard they're 3, but somehow, it's only ozil's own that's brandished everywhere.
Well, aside that, I just need a 10 that can create, as well as score goals. So it's still better for the team if ozil is moved on...
It's really appalling how our midfield have such a paltry goal contribution this season. It's so sad.

Swissh:
Yes if you look at Chelsea they didn't participate in any Uefa competition in 2016/2017 which gave them a disadvantage while Tottenham, United and Arsenal has not missed any for the last 5 seaons I think. Liverpool reaching back to back finals gave them huge points that boosted their point tally. For example even if Madrid don't perform well enough in the Champions league for the next 3 seasons their point tally will keep them comfortable top 2.

Nice... I've learnt something.
All those times I was wondering why arsenal was ranked 6th then, with our every year outing in round of 16, but teams that do well in champions league then, or uefa competitions, we're still higher than them. At least, this have made me understand very well

Swissh:
I love how Chelsea are the least ranked team.

72Morale:
I was joking aswell bruv. Pun not intended.

lol... No p bro

Swissh:
Why are you surprised? It's over a five season point allocation based on performance in both the champions league and Europa league. We have more points than Chelsea over the last 5 seaons. You can clearly see points accumulated over each season there.

Oh... Thanks for the explanation. I never knew it was so

BlueRayDick:
Na wa o

lol...
I think Swissh have answered you on how ranking works

72Morale:
Yea, maybe I'll search more to know the criterias.

But still, Justifications made in rumors isn't something bad for Arsenal fans sha.

lol.... That's a sarcasm right there I get.
When I mean justification, it's with respect to the points raised about Chelsea going to Europa, which was your confusion at first and why you needed explanation. I never meant otherwise

BlueRayDick:
What is the basis for the ranking? I want to learn

Rankings mostly are used for seeding. There's a reason before champions league draw is made, real Madrid is always top of the group with 0 points and another club like As Roma is below them, when normally, in league, the names are placed in alphabetical order. So rankings helps in seeding.
But the criteria how ranking works, to be sincere, I don't know, cos I don't see or know how Tottenham will be above Chelsea in ranking.

72Morale:
Maybe we are yet to know the criterias and yardstick for ranking.

exactly. I don't know the criteria for ranking for uefa. But I think going by the ranking, then it's justifiable Chelsea is going to Europa

OJURONGBE1:
Care to explain more on this ?
I mean how can a former champions league winner, with 2 Europa league titles be ranked lower than Arsenal ,Leicester, Man city and Spurs? despite their position (4th placed) on the table

Well, I'll just show you the pix. How they came about it, I don't know, that's why I said I was equally surprised.

72Morale:
Rumor, I believe.

The story a rumor? If yes then I agree with you as I opined in my earlier post with you.
But Chelsea been the least ranked among those 6 teams(or will I say the big 6)? That's true, even I found it surprising too

72Morale:
And Chelsea? That's what I'm tryna understand.

Chelsea is the least ranked among Liverpool, arsenal, Manchester city, man u, and Tottenham. Since four will make the champions league, any of those 5 will be picked(according to ranking) before Chelsea. And if man city is banned, Tottenham takes the place, cos Tottenham is the least ranked aside Chelsea

BlueRayDick:
I don't think u are right @ The bold part of Ur post. The article says Arsenal will qualify along with Man utd, Liverpool and Man city.....And that Tottenham will replace man city if their ban takes effect next season.

[b]U really do not understand the coefficient story sha. [/b]Cos the article is implying Chelsea will be dropped to Europa League. It doesn't make much sense sha

I thought the coefficient was due to club uefa ranking according to uefa. My bad if I thought man city was ranked lower, that's why I thought they'll give way for the others(thinking man u and arsenal was even ranked above them). I found out indeed they're the highest ranked in England.
And if using the ranking, it makes sense Chelsea drop down to Europa since they're the least ranked in England with respect to the mentioned club names you gave. (Yes, surprisingly, even Tottenham is ranked above them)

72Morale:
Who has seen this?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-8242891/amp/Arsenal-sneak-seasons-Champions-League-Premier-League-season-finished.html


Couldn't get the drift well.

from the introduction, it's explained well na.
That if season isn't completed, arsenal will qualify for champions league based on uefa coefficient. In uefa coefficient, I believed we're ahead of Leicester, wolves Sheffield.. Like that. With man city banned, then it makes arsenal eligible.

But then again, I just feel it's postulations. I don't think it'll happen

kingBolton:
Fut mx plenty for here then

I no believe am jare

BlueRayDick:
Why do I think Wenger is somewhere in this club calling the shots in the background?

Make Una see wetin see for Twitter ó

Why not just tell them they will take pay cut straight, which kind hide and seek management style be dis?

this wan na real kalo kalo dem wan play d players .
You no dey Europa, you dey 9th for table, half of the league gone?
How dem wan mk arsenal do am?








Tho, I no believe d tori sha

BlueRayDick:
Van Persie was injury prone. That was his [b][/b]but[b], except for his last 2 seasons at the club.

Facts

Fkhalifa:
I think it was the set up, A good coach should be able to make poldi a better 9.
Wenger loved Giroud and turned the Arsenal game to suit him ( hold up play). Poldi can't hold or flick it, he is similar to V.persie, a very good left foot.

Just like we are playing to Auba's strength, just give him and he will finish it in the box as seen with from most of his goals.

Give it to Poldi's left and the post will tear.

Van persie have all the attributes of a good striker o.
Can hold up play, can counter also, plus he got the height too
I think what poldi lacks was the holdup play, plus aerial advantage

Fkhalifa:
They not getting anything right o, I'm not disputing the player's intelligence, rather the Strong, terror, brutal,wicked and ruthless warriors.

See Tierney, he doesn't look like he will last long, despite his talent.
See Pepe, looks shy,gentle and scared to shoot the ball. Maybe Martinelli and Mari, south Americans are rugged anyways.

aside Pepe, (for now), I think the rest have that strong and aggressive. I won't hold Tierney on that now

pamcode:
Lineker was one of England's best strikers and had long career. He probably had a calm temperament and was a clean player.

yeah, I've heard of the name Gary lineker. Just that. I don't know much about him aside that.
Really surprising of him to be sincere!!

BlueRayDick:
4 weeks? Do u know how many weeks Kolscienly played rubbish before he turned out to be a dependable defender? Do u know how many own goals he scored?

Do u know how many weeks and even years Ramsey played total Rubbish before he improved?

Bros forget, if coach no like you e no just like you. He won't give the deserved chance to prove urself long enough before he bins you. This is exactly the case with Podolski. Just search for some of his videos in an arsenal shirt and see what he could've done for the club if wenger had liked him enough to give him chance to prove himself. Even Adebayor wey no Sabi reach am sef, bàbà have him chance na

Is true tho. I think I judged him too early on that. Wenger wanted the holdup play setup, which didn't fit Podolski at all.
Lol, wen I remember the rubbish Ramsey played b4 turning one of our good players, I've to agree poldi wasn't given chance at all.

iamoyindamola:
Costa own is for camera and referee, Lewandowski is another level entirely he doesn't even drag penalty with defenders because you can't fall him or engage him.
Early this season he was just scoring like khalifa said he won't smile.
[/b]The only time I saw him smile was a pre match against Dortmund, he was facing reus smiling and the smile was a wicked smile I will destroy you guys today[b]

..
Oh... I remember reus-lewy combo.
I think Reus was never the same since lewy left

Fkhalifa:
And funny enough, it'd those ruthless players you see achieving and winning it at the top... I personal love Arsenal recruit about 5/6 of those dirty ruthless attitude players

True... Our recruit have been getting it well so far with signings

BlueRayDick:
I might forgive Wenger for anything ó, but one thing I never forgave him for is the way he treated Podolski. I still don't understand why Podolski was never allowed to play that number 9 role, I mean anytime he's called upon that guy keeps firing rocket shots into the opposition goal.

It was Podolski's case that made me understand that some coaches don't just like some players and that is that. There's nothing u can do about it. To me o, with his various games I watched I believe Podolski is potent in front of goal than Giroud and Lacazzette combined.

I was a proponent of this your view before o, until there was a time Giroud went to 3 abi 4 weeks injury. Omo, aside his finishing, podolski brings nothing to the game in that 9. It's like he's always almost anonymous in that 9 role. I think it was 2wards the end of 2012/2013 season. From there I know say Giroud better pass am for that 9.

Actually, the only people I feel really replaced Giroud in that role was Sanchez and Auba(even tho, he plays more of a false 9)

Fkhalifa:
Fans and our different views, truly, if you put Ozil in a very balanced team, with forwards who are as ruthless as Ronaldo, many may pick Ozil ahead.

[/b]But me like Iniesta, his style of play can unlock any defence[b].

That's why I prefer him to ozil. I believe ozil needs a counter attacking setup to thrive. Iniesta to me can thrive anywhere. Tho he might not be successful as he was if he's not in barca, but you'll still see his ingenuity in his style of play

BlueRayDick:
Iniesta is a wizard. He will go down in history as one of those players that usually do the right things when they ought to be done. His goal against Chelsea that year and the world cup winning goals are examples of such.

[/b]Xavi and Iniesta were just unfortunate getting to their respective peaks in an Era when C.Ronaldo and Messi were busy showing the two of them are not from this planet. Messi and Ororo made every other person is football inconsequential for at least 10 solid years[b].

this is apt. Those two use goals and assist do like say na level one for pes person dey play.
How player go dey drag goals and assist in double figures?
Well, na iniesta I dey look cos he played more central and attacking in a midfield. Wen guys start to look up him starts, nobody will know say he actually a key factor behind most goals without him recording an assist or scoring a goal
