Looking at the highlights right now! Chelsea with some comedy defending

Ramires was culpable for the 1st & 2nd goal Cahill scored a Zlatan-esque goal but dude was at sea defending against Bradford

Great day for the Neutrals sha!

I think we have a chance of defending the cup o! All the big guns out

COYG!!!

Nihilist:
Thank you very much guys....

Thank us later when we stuff you guys at the Emirate, man

Finally breaking the curse away from home against the big boys!!

Le Coq and Bellerin were immense today!! What a turnaround these lads.

Carzola MOTM Freaking loved his celebration for the assist

Rooney's passing is a horror show in the final 3rd, though! He's beyond shocking . .

pickabeau1:


First statement....a matter of opinion
He does not make the club more of a title prospect so there is no issue.

Second statement
Wenger has said he was bought for the first team

I've not been keeping tabs with the transfer. If Wenger did utter that rubbish then he's lost it completely.

Signing a 'top, top quality' CB should be our number one priority!

pickabeau1:


Le Coq has been decent for one or two games but is he what arsenal need?
Remember he was there for the new year gift to Southampton

Now you give a 4 year timeline

That means s fourphy ambition continues till year 4

Le Coq has been great in all the games he started! Don't pin Szczesny mad moment on him! I'd rather have Le Coq than the brainless French Terrier! He can keep playing till we find a suitable replacement in the summer, hopefully Khedeira from Madrid.

Nah, I'd be livid if the new kid picks up playing time in the first team! He should hone his craft playing under 21's and during loan spells. The four year timeline is judging to see if he has the potential to succeed in the first team!

pickabeau1:


Your last statement is exactly what i expected from.the wengerphiles
Not a statement of his tactical genius or whether Hazard is like Costa

Anyway he bought a 17 year old DM
Polish starlet Keys ten
Another gem...

Haha! But Spy360 thinks Wenger is a tactical genius, though. Expect FM lessons on this board to justify Wenger's ineptness.

I heard that Kid is tall, ready to battle it out with his cousin (Matic) on the pitch Seriously though, I hope he comes good in the next 4yrs.

Le Coq is the new sheriff in town for the time being. Arteta and Flamini needs to be shipped out come July 1st!

pickabeau1:


LOL....


Yes strictly..that role was defined by his compatriot.. Makalele

The point was that pato drove forward thru the middle n also helped with shielding the back four

I also said the closest to him was yaya

However that is not even the point
Arsene relied on power of pato, guile of Dennis and pace of Henry with a solid English back 4

That is Chelsea today

What is arsene doing now

Impotent piss pass footie

You know, had Diaby kept fit over the years he would have been Viera's direct replacement. If you look in the market there's only one player I can think of which is Pogba. He's not as tenacious as Viera was, and he not a great tackler, either.

One thing for sure is, Arsenal needs another Gilberto in his prime.

pickabeau1:


Hahaha

Story....

You r d new one here

If you had some powers of observation you will notice that naijababe is the thread starter

Being on this thread from the halcyon days

Where is Duduspace

Or are you duduspace..

Tell him that Fanshare don crash o

And who are ya? Kitaun or Slimshay

Spy360 ain't even close to duduspace. Spy360 is like an anti-virus mopping attacks/threats against Monsieur Wenger!

By the way, Viera was a Back-2-Back CM!! I don't know how you got away with that on here.

azpekuliar:


And lose your H2H you will, by a single point.

Seen How many losses to you now in a row? I was looking to avenge last season's h-2-h cup final loss, only to fall short by a point again!

The winchie wey dey your back go die by the time I summon Amadioha, Xango, and Zeus to unleash lightning bolt on am

Enjoy your triumph, Az

May Xango strike Arnautovic for willfully shoveling Debuchy to incur that shoulder injury.

I will be livid if I lose my H-2-H & Global cup.

Nihilist:


You're on primetime lad.

hahaha! Primetime for where Shey bbc go pay me for that feat

Nihilist:


Did you write in to the BBC?

Just seen one fan tweet from a Kashmo

Gustavo, I did o!

debosky:
Surprise surprise Ospina starts!

Ozil, Chez and Walcott on the bench.

I wasn't surprised to see him start! Szczesny has been shocking this season, honestly.

Enjoy the dazzling skills of sanchez, bro! *jealous*

raumdeuter:
How many players here are still alive in the Global Cup

I still dey very much alive!

Spy360:

OK, let me educate your ignorance. If you observed, WH attack from the wings to get a cross thru to their big strikers, so to sure up the defence, you eithier send in a CB or a roaming DM or FBs to close down the wings and prevent those crosses- that we did effectively when Gibbs and Chambers came on.

Educate your ignorance first, dude! Late in the game the balls were launched from pretty much past the halfway line into our box, not the flanks as you keep saying. And please show me where Chambers had an impact in his five minute cameo! There was nothing astute in the switch, Nothing! Instead, Baba Wenger go dey invite more pressure just like he did against Loserpool.

Bringing in forwards would have made a lot of sense if the players weren't fatigued. Also taking into consideration there is another important game coming up in 4 days.

Having a speed merchant like Theo or Campbell in the dying minutes to break away won't kill the team.

Don't sit there and argue blindly, you can boost your football knowledge by playing Football Manager games, if you do you would realise how difficult it is to manage a football team. Show some respect to all football managers and professionals in general. If you can do half of what they do, you wouldn't be reading this board.

I give up after reading this! Every FM player must be a super pundit, I guess How that translates to a game played live on Sunday marvels me Happy New Year's day to you in your neck of the wood, and to every Gooner out there!

Spy360:

I am not of your barbaric stock to trade insults. And let me advice that Arsene's just signed a new 3 year contract which he will honour, so you have got 3 more years to whine, hug a transformer or get your smelly arse out of our club.

As for the game against WH, in case you don't understand the technicalities of a game plan,...
After over-stretching in the game against QPR just 48hrs ago, would you choose to strain your muscles further or try to just 'grind out' a result?

If you saw Man City vs Burnley at the Etihad, you would be grateful to a master tactician as AW to give you something to cheer about. Man City's stars were clearly fagged out, if not there is no way Burnley would have come from 2goals down to earn a point- at the Etihad! All Pellegrini needed to do was to call up 2 defenders and see off the game when it was still possible.

As for the flogging, next time it will be on your buttocks.

You should have stayed in your lane or refrained from insulting me in the first place. You don't start nothing, you don't get nothing!

I believe everyone is entitled to an opinion, which am rightly exercising. If your warped knowledge of the game doesn't measure up to mine, kindly do yourself a favor and quit spewing poppycocks.

I am yet to see anything of note from you to counter what I said about having two fullbacks as subs. The game was already stretched from the moment WH scored, and we looked like killing the game off with our counter-attack and blistering pace up front. So, why throw in Two fullbacks to draw more pressure on the team when we were dominant late on? All I see is you going off tangent with Mourinho's chelsea, and now, a game between Man City and Burnley Talk about comparing apples with oranges. Abeg come out of hiding and accept you watched Man City vs Burnley

Men lie, woman lie, numbers don't. . . The EPL table reinforces this. Arsene the Master Tactician, indeed

Spy360:

Imagine what you said that Wenger should bring in Walcot who hasn't played since to defend for us, na wa for your analysis o.

So if you are the manager thats what you will do when your team is under pressure with five mins to go? Didn't you see Gibbs holding off Demel? Where was West Ham attacking from?

Have you wondered what Mourinho does with Mikel? You are so daft yet you have the guts to call Arsene Wenger a fool.
Next time I may have to flog you o, be very careful ok?

Ehehehe. . . Another Wenger Apologist You must be terminally mad or inflicted with something to even quote my post. It seems reading comprehension is a task too much for your dull brain, or you need Specsavers to save you from your misery with a free eye care

What has Mourinho's utilization of Mikel gotta do with Arsene chucking on Two fullbacks, in a match where Westham were literally chasing by throwing everyone forward? What's the point of having a rash and slow defender like Chambers on the pitch when he could have thrown in Theo to give Westham something to think about. Theo has pace to burn and a good finisher/assister at that, whom could've come in to change the trajectory of play! The best form of defense at times is to attack they say, and, in the case of Westham, Theo Walcott on the pitch would've ran the channels effectively or pinned Westham back!

Now you can go flog yourself, you dumb marićon

proudlysports:
Are we intentionally puttng ourselves in a position where the opposition needs a goal in the last few minutes so that Arsene can test the if the boys have 'spirit' or if they are 'jaded'?

Those defensive substitutions....hmmm

You sef notice am eh, proudly I don't even see the point of having Chambers on the pitch who can't defend to save his life. We could have blown them apart if not for The Ox & Welbz wastefulness in the final third.

proudlysports:
Will AW send Santi back to the left to accommodate Ozil when the latter returns?

I hope not!! Santi is having a stormer playing in the middle of the park. I would prefer he retains his spot there unless out of form.

Arsene is a tool! Two phucking fullbacks towards the end of the game to invite more pressure on the team when Theo would've been a better outlet to counter with his pace This man has regressed, and it's glaring to see how tactically inept he's become!

Santi was quality today! Definitely MOTM for me along side Szczesny.

Sotton next!

lalaboi:


NO. . Explain to me why i could see an opponent before the start of GW18 and then after the matches my opponent disappeared.

Mazi already went all the way to confirm this. I don't need to start digging rubble to tell you why you fell short. Better luck next time

MaziOmenuko:

There must have been a sort of mix-up. I've gone through the records and it seems kashmo was right. I didn't know qualifying for the cup is based only on wk 17 result: I thought it would be based on over-all performance up till week wk17.
Az had 45 points, penguins had 42pts and Igwefoundation had 35pts for wk17: only Az qualified for the cup,the rest did not. Seems the cut-off was pegged at 45pts.
there's no rational explanation for the earlier fixture you saw.

I'm glad you went back to wk17 to see how FPL Managers were chosen! Lalaboi just dey vent for nothing . . .

lalaboi:
As dem don do me ojoro comot me from World wide cup. . wetin man fit do?

Hey man, you didn't qualify as you were one of the lowest scoring teams in GW 17. Those who qualified had 45 points and beyond. I knew this because I checked your team and you fell short with one point. Pele

Phucking City conceding very late

lalaboi:
I buy rooney last week and captain am, e mezzup. I sell am this week and he scores a double. Oloribu

I just dey laugh sha when i check your team . Harry Kane has a chance of equaling Rooney's output. Faraburuku bale, supo

DK na craze man Why you dey blow your trumpet when season just dey reach half stage

Intelligesia on a free fall
