As in…. The same fans that celebrate our wins against all top 6 teams this season o.

The same fans now watch our games with peace of mind.

The same fans who watch us take 4 points out of possible 6 against city this season.

I just can’t wait for them to suggest a coach that will win us 114 out of possible 114 points coming season.

They can't list any viable name. They just want Arteta to be gone, it doesn't matter if we bring Southgate to replace him

Nothing is as painful as that to be honest.

BlueRayDick:
Arteta-led Arsenal team is on course to finish the season with 89 points; the second best points haul in the history of the club…… like second behind the invincibles’ 90 points.

But all we are reading here is that Arteta bottled the league and needs to be shown the way out despite dragging the EPL title with Pep till the last day of the season.

One lesson I’m taking away from all these is that if people no like; dem no like u. They would always amplify your inadequacies while ignoring the positives u possess . It is understand if rival fans troll us with usual trophy-less banters , but for an Arsenal fan who watched Arsenal win 27 EPL games out of 37 this season trolling the manager who did that ?

Omo!

I’m just glad that those making decisions at the club are people who don’t make decisions on emotional impulse but rather on measuring progress made by the manager

I've always been saying the bolded. I would understand if it's rival fans that are saying all these things and bantering us "trophiless" and bla bla. I understand. They're called "rivals" for a reason.

But for some of our fans to not be understanding seeing where we came from, watching our games and seeing the improvement almost all round and seeing that we're on the ascendancy and still been overly critical like this is what I'm failing to grasp.

It's not as if we're at our peak sef or that we aren't improving even as we are

AdisaOwala:
l am sure nobody sincerely meant that baba....

If anything at all, the "criticism" stems majorly from the disappointment of "being so close, yet missing out again", under similar circumstances that the manager somewhat had control over.

Again, the way y'all are so quick to bring in Pep into every discussion as some form of "consolation" is worrisome tbh. Big clubs with champions mentality do not care if the rival manager is a Pep+Ancelotti+Fergie clone - all that matters most is winning.

If the takes were in the form of "Ah, We should have won this. Hope Arteta has learnt his lessons. We go again next season", perhaps there wouldn't be so much backlash.

Arteta has done well at the club - I am not sure anybody is disputing this or sincerely calling for him to be sacked. However, if y'all are to be champions, some sentiments gotta be put aside and issues gotta be addressed, especially those that seem to be repetitive.

On a final note, God go punish that bald fraud Bin Laden for making me come to Arsenal thread to dey sympathize with una

You've certainly not been following this thread well enough with that bolded you said


Anyways God bless Ten Hag.

Roland17:
If anything, this should bother you. He has won the EFL, has his team in the FA cup finals and even finished 3rd in hos 2nd season.

Arteta has had more time, more money, a very stable football structure in comparison with more control and what do we have to show for it?

It doesn't bother me because I believe in process and not results that sometimes can be fluke.

There's a reason why one is under hot soup from his own fans and media and the other is respected.

I believe we'll win that big trophy sooner or later with the way we're going. I understand your concern if you don't have the patience for it.

The way I dey now, na only big trophy fit cure my hunger. All these fa cup, I've won it recently and I still be butt jokes to other rivals fans as well as I didn't have that real satisfaction when winning it.

If it takes me further two years for me to win the league or UCL, I'll be patient as long as I see we're going in the right direction, which presently now, we are doing

mostob:
It will be better na.

Yes na...

We go learn by force

Shegzdave:
E reach to ask with the way he plays with experience

Lol...
One day him go tell us whether him reduce him age

mostob:
He is 22 fah. We were lucky to have him. One of the best CBs in EPL.

I swearrr...
Even if 10 people surround am, him know wetin to do.
And the way he cleanly wins the ball is just outstanding.

Na defender wey be 28/30yrs naim get this kind attributes. Guy is so so smooth

mostob:


There was this chance I thought he would score. Man literarily passed the ball to Raya.

Lmaooo...
I remember that one

Shegzdave:
Itsr.m
You lease help us check if Arsenal has dropped points against the scummies.

Bad belle Dey give ulcer

Chillax, I deh wait till Everton match

Parizz:
when are you selling madueke to jodera

Wetin we wan use am do?

Spy360:
I don't see how someone would be jealous of his own success. It was like they wanted Arsenal to drop points so that they will have points here. Which kind of mentality is that?

Instead of celebrating a win against a tough opponent at this stage of the season they are whining about not playing tiki taka. Iberiberism 😂

It certainly just look like cos I didn't believe there will some negative criticism today....

mostob:

See as him serious enter pitch person go think say him go score hat trick

mostob:
Saliba MOTM at Old Trafford, Anfield and Etihad. No central defender comes close; all-timer of a season.

The Boss move

How is this guy less than 25?

Omorr, we get gem for our hand sha.

No CB for EPL wey get composure and confidence reach am

We win and we're still in the race but see as here turn like place like say we lose


Interesting!!

mostob:
They should sack Arteta so we go rest. Let them appoint De Zerbi or Erik bin laden (if man u later scam him)

Shebi Ten Hag win Carabao last season yet all Man u fans hate him and want him sacked.

Man U fans also want dem to sack Ten Hag even if he wins them Fa cup this season.

Maybe we should go the way of present Man U and Ten Hag

AdisaOwala:
When did I troll you for not playing well today?

If y'all managed to win vs Villa even with the poor performance, story for no different as we speak?

If you notice, most PL fans are even backing Arsenal to win the league, myself inclusive.

Na why that Villa loss dey pain me pass y'all sef because it even seems y'all are even okay with the possibility of bottling

No fans want it more than Arsenal fans.

No arsenal fan here didn't know that we fvcked up against Aston villa and no arsenal fan here haven't mulled or talked how painful it is but then what should we do after that?
Throw in the towels?
Insult the team endlessly?
Not have hope even if it's a faint one?

Yeah, we fvcked up but I won't ignore the improvement that they had this season and how it can be a launch for next season.

Anybody wey wan see am as mediocrity, na dem Sabi afterall it's the same people who claimed that we won't compete this season and that Man U, Chelsea and Tottenham will top us.

Spy360:
Shebi the Conte go Tottenham. Where are they now? Where is he now? Arteta is still here taking on the GOAT of football management head to head in two seasons consecutively. Even Klopp has faded away into oblivion.

Remember they were the ones that said Klopp has the advantage when they put up the last six league matches. Even Klopp can catch up with Arteta.

They told us we have the hardest and that Klopp and Pep have the simplest but las las no two horse race end am.

Conte now dey clubless that's after buying players full there

AdisaOwala:
When we see statements like those bolded one, it suggests that you might be satisfied with trophylessness, after all beautiful football was on display for 30 weeks.

Broda , win league first (either by hook or crook) before you begin reason this kain thing o otherwise una go tey for wilderness

Shebi na by hook or crook we win Una today yet you dey troll us for not playing well.

Boss, forget this your yarnings.

What you said isn't even valid cos if we dropped drop points and I said that this your post would have been

mostob:
I'm not sure say Conte would be willing to accept that job o. We're in shambles that time.

Na wetin most people no wan see.

Now wey Arteta don stabilize things and move up from here, dem dey call sack.

Issorait!!!

iamoyindamola:
I honestly don't know why you are tagging me with all these
Or I don't have right to air my opinion

Keep on airing your opinion Sir

Spy360:
Leave am let him be trolling us with his blame Pep nonsense. As if it is easy.

At around this time last season we were 2-0 up against a poor Liverpool side and instead of playing slow we rallied their fans against us. The game ended 2-2. Our boys have learnt from that mistake and decided to play drab football knowing that it will make United blunt. Had we opened up the game, I am sure United fans would have rallied their team to a late equaliser.

I am impressed with the way we handled an away game over a tough rival just to secure three points. That's how we can drag this title challenge to the final day.

All I need na win at this stage and I don't care.

Any arsenal fan wey no dey look for 3 points with two matches to go, naim dey shocking.

Dem say Champions mentality na to play badly still win, e reach our turn story don enter

mostob:
The same set of fans that were like make Arsenal just crash out so we can concentrate on EPL. Anytime we crash out from FA cup, they will be the same one saying that is the best thing to do

Na dem Sabi sha.

My own be say thank God dey didn't appoint Conte wey Rola.nd bin recommend that time. I wonder how our team for dey with over 1bn spent — and I'm certain it won't be good

No wonder dem no wan call names again. Na to sack Arteta be their own

Spy360:
So we shouldn't bother winning the league then. You see your mentality? After you go dey call out players, but see your mentality

Anything concern Arteta and iamoyindamola, just forget am

We win.... Complain
We lose.... Complain
We draw.... Complain


He wants us to play beautifully and perhaps draw then he'll start his "bottling" mantra.

Arteta gave over 30 weeks of beautiful football, E no sweet am. Na the match wey we need 3points possible and we got it naim be the reason why Arterta would never win league

mostob:
Very simple stuff... 90+ in other words translates to a minimum of 90 points. That's very clear and easily understandable now.

All these people no just like arsenal.

How person go see that thing and hold onto the worst case scenario and start making point

mostob:
They don't even rate the same FA cup.

None of them has mentioned a single coach they prefer to take over.

And that United fan left his club wey dey struggle to make top 6 come dey bash Arsenal here. SMH

Like na wetin dey muse me be this.

You'd think they rate the fa and Carabao cup dey way they're praising it now.

People who still criticized Arteta right from his first season even when he won the fa cup are suddenly holding onto fa cup and Carabao cup like say na one UCL.

No be fa cup Arsene Wenger win 3 times in 4yrs yet fans still wanted him out here. Now dem dey claim "it's Pep that's holding him from winning fa and Carabao cups"

mostob:
They ain't used to that over there..wetin you bin dey expect?

Like e just taya me.

The way him deh talk person go think say I talk 80+ point

BlueRayDick:



The highest number of points Arsenal amassed in a single season in history is the invincible’s 90 points about 20 years ago.

Today Arsenal is on 83 points with 2 games to go ( which if they win both can take them to 89 i.e one point short of the invincibles’ tally )

For some reasons I want the club management to make some knee jerk decision of sacking the man responsible for taking us back to this state . Let us sign that God-sent manager that will make us amass 114 over 114 points in an EPL season.

We must learn a lesson !

I don tire.
I just wish dem dey read Nairaland make dem see their "reasons" sack Arteta.

Maybe we go so that Messiah wey go give us at least 100points so that everybody go happy.

E deh pain me to talk am sha but I just hope dey sack him make we see something

AdisaOwala:
Oga - this mentality suggests that you would give your self a pat on the back at 91points even if the potential champions are sitting at 95.

Like I said, if naso those at the helm of affairs dey reason Una matter, y'all are in for a loooong ride.

I didn't say 91 points.
I said 90+ points and it ranges from 90-99.

Any one who's aiming for 90+ points knows that he needs to win almost All his matches.

Na you just deh look the worst case scenario to criticize when there are many positives to take from there

germaphobe:
It's funny that the same rival and even arsenal fans that said Shiity spurs, UTD, Chelsea and Liverpool will do better than us this season are the same people saying they will do better than us next season wetin come do this season?, Oh, wait!!, We're way above them all. Dey play......

Na so dem dey talk every season.

Teams wey never get structures yet go think say na magic we take deh compete for league.

That's how they said our rivals will improve this season and topple us, like say we sef no deh improve

AdisaOwala:
If na points tally be una main target for Arsenal, it means the winners mentality isn't there as initially suspected.

Una never ready

So 90+ is not a winners mentality.

Anything just to say sha!

larride:
Leave Jodera, he thinks other team will remain in wilderness

Who are the other teams is what I asked.

Anybody who watched arsenal when arsenal finished 5th knows that we'll be a serious top 4 contender.

Who do you think is ready that will be in top 2 and not arsenal.

It's a simple question that demands logic not emotions

Sportsweb:
No go sleep. Before 2023 nobody believes arsenal will compete the league, not even Arsenal fan ever imagined.

Same way you folks magically started competing for league is the same way United, Chelsea or any club could rise up to the task.


You have bottled the league last season and about to repeat it again this season.

I asked a simple question and it's an opinion for you to give

All these Shalaye and epistles no necessary
