But why does this season look like 2001/02 own.

Hopefully we get to end it on a high the way they did

Whizlight:
this was personal

Arteta Sin na to make us title challengers.

See how we're called "top 4" contenders because we no win league.(Not that it's even over sef).
Person wey no dey watch ball go think say na we, Tottenham and Villa dey drag for one spot not knowing it's we and Man City

Maybe na that time we go deh "transition" again everybody go happy.

mostob:
The academy boys they mentioned, where are they now? Can't even remember the last time Patino started a match. Azeez is in Spain division 2. Wenger who was known with promoting youngsters had to let go of some at a point. Players like Eisfield, Crowley, Zelalem, Ajayi, Akpom and Afobe were let go despite the state of the team then.

Lol...
Make everybody deh throw stick. We dey think of competing for big trophy, na small boys we wan use to try out.

That's how Sod say we for play John Jules last season for FB position.


Like John who??

Fkhalifa:
FyI, Unai Ebening is about to make UCL football in his first full season with Villa, Remember he took Villa from a relegation zone where Steven Gerrard dropped them...

He was not presented with Mustafi, Sokratis, Luiz,Kolasinac, Litchternier..... While at Arsenal He didn't enjoy a Saliba/ Gabriel

He doesn't have kids like Torreira and Guendozi.... At Arsenal, he didn't enjoy a partey/Rice midfield


Just some decent players and just 1 world best goalkeper, he took them to European semis this year...

He was definitely not the major problem, maybe part.

Lmaooo.

Kids like Torreira and Guendouzi?
A whole Torreira don turn kid.

The players you listed, did he meet them here or did he buy them apart from Mustafi?

Partey/Rice Midfield, who bought them? Emery?

Suddenly reaching Europa League final and conference league semi is an achievement, yet Arteta won Fa cup and reached Europa League semi final in his first 1½ season here but Una still deh castigate am.

Arteta revolutionized Xhaka that he left here as a legend, same Xhaka you would have included in your list if not for Arteta.


One day one day, all of Una go tell us wetin Arteta do Una

mostob:
They want us to promote academy players when the first team never balance and still win the league. Against City?

Lol...
Na why I no wan talk about am today.

Same pep and Klopp they're using as reference, make dem check dem well for their early years (at City and Pool) when them never win any major trophy.

Them just deh throw anything and everything, hopefully one sticks.

raumdeuter:
Jod.era how is leader and Nokia communicator doing in Liverpool defence

Lol, I know say you go Hala me

I no wan talk about this academy matter sha.

That one na discussion for another day

And Mostob was right

Shegzdave:
E reach to call meeting on

Shegzdave:
You sure Sod never meet Teta for real life and the later collect him babe cause I don’t understand that kind of anger towards Teta😂

Na why I say one day we go drop chair and table make him sit down, balance come tell us wetin Arteta do am

germaphobe:
You forgot about trusty being better than kiwior and how he would have been best for arsenal

... until Saka turn turn him waist when we dey lash them 5-0 for first half.

Shegzdave:
This one na witchcraft

Lmaooo....
You never see something.


Person who claim to love arsenal yet he wants Chelsea to disgrace us wholeheartedly and let Hutchinson be the chief person to make Chelsea disgrace us just so that they'll sack Arteta.

Like let one of your biggest rival disgrace the club you 'love' because of one kekere Hutchinson.

Not that he likes the Hutchinson oo or that the boy na one Messi


You never see chumchin

germaphobe:
You can't make such comparison and don't expect what you get. You can't compare wheelbarrow with truck. The transfer of pepe is still Arsenal's greatest mistake in the transfer market and that amount is one of the reasons arsenal is in the financial crisis. You were quick to justify emery and his squad forgetting how we were during his days. Aside the 22 games where we screamed "we've got our arsenal back, he fumbled when it matters most, top 4, UEL final and even wanted to drown us, but here you are trying to make him look like a saint while trying to downplay Arteta that's exactly the double standards you accused usof having.

22 unbeaten wey na draws full am

BlueRayDick:
I really don’t know how I grin when I see Chelsea fans tarring at each other’s shirts trying to argue if defense is their problem or attack 😂

When team begin play rubbish fan base go Dey divided on what the problem actually is. We were once at that rock bottom.

Kudos to Arteta for taking us away from that abyss jare

Nothing is new under the sun.

Expressway Midfield and stupid defence wey man u dey suffer — we don experience am here

Attack Vs defence Argument wey Chelsea get — we don do am here

Wenger in Vs Wenger out — Ole in Vs OleOut


Lol,

Shegzdave:
I haven’t seen him say that though
Sacking Teta will be our undoing cause who will they recommend to take over?

See it here

[quote author=iamoyin.damola post=129647044]You think I care if your serial bottler carry league or not
The one he led for 83% of the season he no carry am, na this one way choke he wan carry
Yeye they smell[/quote]Lol, when I say some people hate, I meant it.

I don't dispute his love for Arsenal but his hate for Arteta certainly exceeds his love for arsenal.

Shegzdave:
Personally, I haven’t seen any Arsenal fan that doesn’t commend Teta for the tremendous work he did with the team, anybody that fails to see this has an axe to grind with the Man.

You know this is a game of trophies to be won and when you don’t have a major trophy to back up your works, even the fans may come at you

Sod is a passionate fan who just wants to celebrate a major trophy and when its about to slips towards the end of the season like this, he’ll express his frustration, inside of him he knows Teta did a tremendous work with the team.

Sod that says he doesn't care if we win the league this season or not that Arteta should just go?

Lmaooo.

Make we deh play

germaphobe:
What do we even know bruh, we're just Arteta fans that value him over the club.

Exactly... We like Arteta pass arsenal na why we no want make dem sack am.

BlueRayDick:
Omo! We Dey face shots like mad.

Our midfield be like newly renovated third mainland bridge .

Mustafi and Luiz always on duty to press ctrl + spoil at the back🤦‍♂️

We suffered those years sha. Once we face loserpool like this , they will send our midfielders and defenders sprawling on the grass while putting aver of 3-4 goals past our keeper.

Lol, Midfield wey be express way. Defence wey go pass ball straight to opponents just because dem wan pass from back (I remember Watford 2-2 draw).

Watching Present Man u it's as if I'm watching Emery arsenal all over again


We suffer abeg!!

germaphobe:
He has everything to play for, a decent chance of bringing them back to UCL and getting more finances. He will really his best but I doubt if they can make it

I just hope they try sha

Just hopeful but not confident

germaphobe:
Roland talks about evening squad that reached the finals of europa, but where did we finish with that squad in the league?, Is it not the same squad that he used to almost send us to relegation before he was sacked?....

When Emery faltered all domestic cup competitions and even our top 4 position (at a point we were topping Chelsea with 5-6 points) just to focus on Europa. In fact Chelsea from 5th came up to finish 3rd while we went on to finish 5th (with Tottenham dropping to 4th)
We lost the final 4-1 against same Chelsea. In their words we "bottled" both the league and the Europa League.


Now what is even surprising me is that nobody here, not even one person here called Emery a Bottler heading into the next season or throughout the off season. I mean, if our standards was so so high the way they claim now, Emery would have felt big heat the way they're doing to Arteta now but No, nobody called Emery a Bottler even when we were playing poorly the next season.

I would have been more understanding if they highly criticized Emery the way they're doing to Arteta now. Honestly, I wouldn't have been "attacking" like this. But I fail to understand how Emery who did worse was given leeway but Arteta is been hounded for doing way better.

BlueRayDick:
Tottenham will only be hurting themselves financially if they decide to allow city overrun them thereby missing out on UCL football .

They still stand a chance of qualification if Loserpool whips Villa tonight . They(spurs) will be 4 points behind Villa with one game in hand . They can drag the qualification battle to the last day as well.

I really don’t know if Post-No-Clue will be comfortable losing UCL place because he wants their fans to celebrate Arsenal not winning the league with their aid.

I don't think the players and coach would want to lose that match cos of their fans. Then they know what's at stake and I understand.

It's just whether Postecogolue can be conservative enough to stop Man City is my fear. The guy team too deh open body

BlueRayDick:
Dem never really tell us wetin Arteta do them.

Imagine trying to do revisionism about Good Ebening’s time at Arsenal . Suddenly good Ebening is not as bad as we made him seem during his time with us …. Lmao 😂


I don’t even want to remember how we wail bitterly during Good Ebening’s time with us. How some of we fans deliberately avoid watching Arsenal vs any traditional top 4 team.

Omo! Lapse of time usually make people forget things sha .

Lol, Time can make even a sinner turn Saint. It just needs to be long enough.

These incessant shots wey Man U dey concede anyhow, I remember say na during Emery I first experience am.

We were that baaaad!!!

But suddenly, him don turn reference point.

Vischy:
It seems arsenal are not in good terms with their London neighbors

We and Tottenham na bad enemies. That's understandable and known.

But we and West ham no get beef.

Verdict: I believe it's one person that's running both accounts

WhoDeyHause:
Salibobo nwannem. We are coming for you.

Lmaooo.

You for come when we get Holding and Mustafi. Now door don close

We won Man U but here just felt like say we lost. Why??
Because the standards have improved

We have to go back to just 1 match we lost this year to put the blame on Arteta. ONLY ONE MATCH!!!!. Yeah, he's the Perfect Arteta.

Before and after that time we've been thumping everybody 4 and 5 (bar Man city) but we should crucify Arteta and Sack him because he lost that ONE MATCH against ASTON VILLA.
Ohh, lest I forget, there's a trend!!

The people who spent more than us are struggling, but you guys term it "transition". Maybe we would have been happy like the way you were with Emery if we've been "transitioning" like these clubs with poorly coached team and bad players.

Arteta bought his own team and made them who they are but we should cut his head because he's a bottler.

We'll never see the trend that he's always improving season in season out, na just the one fvck up we go deh focus on

Last season, he's a bottler because we drew 3 matches and lost 2 during the run in
This season he's a bottler because we lost just 1 match.

Next season, maybe he'll be a bottler because we lost our only Matchday 3 of the season!!


Make all of us dey play. Make we dey play.

Suddenly, Arteta should be criticized for not utilizing Emery squad. Like say no be the dross mostly Emery by give us

Let it be known that Emery should bear his own responsibilities and not Arteta should.

Emery bought his own squad: cry baby Torreira, strong head Guendouzi, Leno, Sokratis, Luiz, Pepe, Ceballos, Liechtensteiner.

Almost a revamped team and we finished 5th and lost Europa League final. The next season we played almost an unrecognisable football and he was heading towards midtable.
Most importantly he lost the dressing room and all arsenal fans have lost hope of ever being competitive.


But Arteta came, used that same Squad to win a trophy. Revamped the team to his own(like Emery), Finished 5th then 2nd while bringing the atmosphere back while competing for the league (with some people terming it "golden generation)

But One should be heralded for Managing a poor squad he assembled and the other should be criticized for turning the team into a quality one.

mostob:
Apt!

I noticed it yesterday that's why I stopped engaging him. Person wey no Sabi the meaning of 90+ points.

Na that one weak me ystdy make I no lie.

BlueRayDick:
Number 1 problem he has is that he dislikes Pep. I have seen him constantly downplay Pep's achievements when they do their merry-go-round arguments about Pep's acchievement on Chelsea thread.

The fact that he doesn't rate Pep, it's quite expected that he would also transfer the hate to Arteta who happens to be Pep's protege. That should tell u where he's coming from.

U can see most of the points he's been raising since yesterday lacks objectivity. He comes up with the worse case scenario when talking about Arsenal under Arteta

Lol, na him sabi sha.

AdisaOwala:
Trophy 1



Trophy 2





In your post, you have confidently celebrated two major trophies that are more important than the PL

Congratulations on the milestone achievement!

P.S - I never for once advocated for the sack of Arteta....at least for now

Rather, I am saying that unnecessary sentiments gotta be put aside if y'all wanna win the PL.

Playing the "Pep victim" wouldn't help the club bros.

Na PL be this - anything fit happen.

For example, Next season, any club fit just change owners, come assemble the Mbappes, vinicius jnrs, etc of the world

By that time, una go change the narrative to "ah, that team is the best team ever, we are more than happy to play second fiddle"

I hope y'all wouldnt look back and lament bitterly for not winning the league when you had the best chances (last season and the current one).

By that time, na only God knows where una go dey for league table.

I think you're just always holding the worst case scenario for us. Lol.

If anybody is doing anything and the first thing that comes to my "the worst case scenario" of anything, then I swear, nothing will ever be done.

....but what do I know

Issorait

AdisaOwala:
@Jodera etc, you see the mentality wey we dey talk?

If the manager is thinking like this, how una go win anything?

Anyone who finishes Second in his first few competitive years will be happy he did while gunning for the overall best next time.

Once upon a time, Messi and Ronaldo once finished second. When they received their award, they weren't sad but that doesn't mean they won't gun for the top prize next time which they eventually did— and won it consistently.

The Koko is not resting on your laurels because you finished second and that's the mindset Arteta and the team has.

Anybody wey no see the immediate last paragraph that way, na him sabi

Una go wail taya

Five years wailing.

Just ready your Geepee tank
