Sahara has come with their cock and bull stories again. Discussing to declare state of emergency? Over what?

That is an aside anyways

@ Emperoh

The ward elections remaining hold 18,000 registered voters, so there is more than enough room for manoeuvrings by PDP.

With this 'indefinite' postponement of the elections in those wards, who knows what is going to happen? There are rumours of the electoral officer in charge refusing to declare doctored results. If INEC is making a shambles of this single election, imagine what will happen all over the country in the next general elections?

That man needs to be removed at all costs - he is causing too much mayhem.

Iwu's removal is water off a duck's back.

Yet another Pdp's lackey will be installed and we are back to square one.

The whole political system is incredibly shackled by too much of power in the centre.

As long as PDP and this jeun s'apo politicians reign supreme,this political labyrinth will continue.

Imagine OBJ having a say as per SA's nationwide election and his party can't stage a near-perfect election in a state.

It is A SHAME REALLY

Myles P= Jaundiced extreme opinions.

Reading most of his articles you can simply decipher that he is a twerp and a tosser.

Ade could be excruciatingly annoying sometimes BUT calling him a donkey is being overtly expressive.

Ade's presence and experience is needed and no new tactical rigmarole can obliterate his contributions thus far.

He is the ONLY STRIKER in Arsenal's line up that can play as a sole attacker in our 4-5-1 formation and that in itself is a plus.

My Captain scored two purrfect goals

did anyone see arshavin's crazy miss

I hope pumpkin head is not part of the team for scumtwats oh

Sadly he MAY not be.
He is injured.

On the players returning from injury…
“Adebayor is just coming back from injury, Djourou as well. Djourou’s knee was not 100 per cent but he came through – I will decide that on Tuesday or Wednesday. Djourou came through the game well we will have to see how he responds tomorrow. I believe the only serious problem we have from today is Silvestre, he has a back spasm. He is a 50:50 [for Old Trafford].”

Dr Kitaun:
I always believed that we will not win the EPL

but defo not the UECL . .

God help us . .

but best believe it, I wont for the life of me come here shouting AW IS A GENIUS !

no one expected Mumurinho to win when he was with Porto

AW needs to learn how to play competitions with the required mentality,

resting players and contemplating on a match or two to come is to me pure bunkumery associable to senility

plus he needs to offload Bendtner and Denilson

Oh not again Kit

AW threw away last week's game against Chelsea,and no reason can be cogent and germane enough IMO

As if the Chelsea has not played enough matches too,and contrary to general belief,that team(Chelsea) lacks depth.

We are due for any type of laurel and it beats me hollow how Wenger bottled it in the 11th hour

I hope he rest the following players and replace them with those in brackets for tommorow's game;Walcott(Eboue) ,Nasri(Arshavin),Fab,Song,(Diaby and Denilson)and Toure(Djorou) so we can be up to it against United.

This is our ONLY hope and we will resist any form of gaffe

Jairzinho:
Thank u jare ,help me ask the schizophrenic o !

What he meant is that if Liverpool had been up to the scratch they wouldn't be on the look-out for Man U's loss to stay atop the EPL.

Arsenal threw away 2goals lead against Spurs and Villa(though they did not lose these matches) means Arsenal's crappy?

Dude,it is FOOTBALL and like cookie,you just do not know where it is going to crack.

Cristalz:
@kay_pumpin
He keeps hitting the wall; hez been doing that for most of the season.

I wonder why United is yet to change it's free-kick taker

Evra is not at his best IMO.He's been dire against the combo of Lennon and Corluka

nateevs:
I just had a feeling this was going to happen. . . Let's see aw it all ends. . .

It is not uhuru yet Nateevs  

Ronaldo's free-kicks have been ridiculous so far and what a great SAVE by Gomez .We were almost having a repeat of Alonso's goal agaisnt Hull this afternoon.

Flam-ster talked about a "bond" and YET decided to leave;maybe the bond does not matter to him

A one season wonder who talks from both side of the mouth is not what i want back in the squad.

If Song's improvement can continue the way it is,then i think there should be less talk about "Cashley's brother from another mother".

That's by the way,a piece of news on injuries here:

Arsenal may welcome back Manuel Almunia, Johan Djourou and Emmanuel Adebayor for the visit of Middlesbrough on Sunday.

The Spanish keeper (ankle) and the Swiss defender (knee) came back to training on Thursday while the Togolese striker (hamstring) is set to join in on Saturday.

However, on the downside, Robin van Persie (groin) will be out until at least the trip to Portsmouth next week, meaning he misses the Champions League Semi-Final first leg. Gael Clichy (back) is NOT ruled out for the season but he is sidelined until at least the return game against Sir Alex Ferguson’s side on May 5.

“From Tuesday night we are quite safe,” Wenger told Arsenal TV Online on Thursday. “We will rotate a little bit again but we have no major injuries from Liverpool.

“Manuel Almunia was in full training today and we’ll see how he responds. Djourou was in full training also so we’ll see how he is too. Both could come back into the squad. It is not enough training to say [for sure] yet we need 48 hours more.

“Emmanuel Adebayor should come back into the training on Saturday. He could be in the squad.

“But Robin van Persie is definitely out for Sunday and for Manchester United.

“Gael Clichy could be back for the second Manchester United game. He has a scan on Monday. We’ll go from there. He has a chance to be back in full training next week.”

Wenger also confirmed that William Gallas (knee) and Tomas Rosicky (hamstring tendon) will definitely miss the rest of the season.

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/almunia-djourou-and-adebayor-close-to-return

I wonder why Tomas is still mentioned though,or is any one out there still relating him with this season?

My major worry though for the UCL is Gibbs,can he cope with C.Ronaldo?

Kemouche:
hey ifedisky,dats so mean

I doubt that much,he's only letting you know teh appropriate thread to post your inquiry

mukina2:
Kay,
Silvestre wan kill me, even if he score triple hat tricks against spurs sef, i still wont like him i will suspend the hate

If he scores against the scummies, it would be nice, and he breaks rooney's legs

mukina2:
Silvestre i swear i wish he would be injured i hate the guy, e be like curse to the team

Muki and Silvestre.It is easier for a camel to pass through a needle's eye than Muki loving the oblong-shaped head twerp

But please do not wish him injured,or else,it is gonna be Song to CB and that will be a MASSIVE loss in the middle.

Muki,will u loff Silvestre if he scores against em scummies on the 29th?

I am not sure what to term this news;good or bad

Manchester United defenders Gary Neville and John O'Shea face several weeks on the sidelines after suffering injuries in the 2-0 win over Portsmouth.

I am sure Crizzle like most Man u fans will be happy with this BUT Nasri wouldn't be _{damn,how i wish it's Rooney,Vida and ronnie out for 5 weeks}

Great track indeed!

One of my top 20 track of all time!

Imehnathan:
I don't think he raps like Mr.wayne maybe he sounds a lil like him,kanye,jay-z,nas altogether but then their music may have influenced him,no big deal,and hey sometimes jay and nas sound alike but none can be acused of copying the other pls leave my guy.

Jigga and God's son sounds alike?

These 2 cats are as dis-similar as Pope and King Fahd.But then,maybe i am wrong

Crizzle,

What line of argument or statement led to:

Cristalz:
It's baffling. . .aren't gaffers supposed to position players where their strengths lie? Unless there's an emergency shortage, there's no excuse for not doing that. It's just asking for trouble.

It has happened a number of times with Arsenal yet Wenger refuses to learn. Said it before, he was a good manager

Gaski how far?

So you feeling Sage init?

Well name of artiste is Sage and track's name is "i'll make you dance".

Sage is a poet and was featured by Mode 9 in EPU(One amongst many) album.

Abegii enough with the Bendtner bashing.

At least he scored a nice goal_{.Even though it didn't count,it will make a MOTD'S highlight}  

There was little he could do as a lone striker and he is not carved for such a role,he thrives more playing alongside Vela and Edu.

Even if he's shitty in front of goal,you can't fault his effort.

debosky:


He wasn't bad tonight - Torres would give the best CB in the world a torrid time. He went AWOL for the 4th goal though, the defenders screwed up big time for that.

I forgot to mention theo - his amazing burst of speed was accompanied by the killer ball for the 4th. Amazing pass and amazing footie from Arshavin.

I will not forgive Wenger for a long time for failing to utilise that man properly on Saturday.

Gibbs made mistakes, but he played fantastically well at other times as well - I think he is a good one for the future and will likely be better than Clichy.

Same here Debo.

And i agree with you as per Gibbs too,dude need composture which i am sure will come with constant playing time.

@Sauron

Ever thought of taking a hype-man job for a politician in Nigeria ?

I do not know why y'all are quick to castigate Silvestre but let Sagna and Toure off the hook

This is a freak of a game and it doesn't happen all the time.Heck,Liverpool conceeded 4 goals too

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=247857.msg3762786#msg3762786 date=1240350368]Arshavin > Ribery + Messi + Kaka + Ronaldo.[/quote]Tongue in cheek right?

Thought you said he would have been marked out by Ivanovic on Saturday?

BTW,I keep asking myself how this dude was never in the radar till his "old age"

He's such a CLASS act!

@Presido and criz

OK,maybe the title race is still OPEN is a better choice of word,and isn't it still alive and up for grabs between the 2 teams vying for it?

Of course Arsenal is not in the mix but we are a FACTOR in who wins the EPL.May not be a trophy but it is an index that Ferguson,Benitez and maybe Hiddink know quite well.

That been said,we have done you peeps at Oldtrashford a great favour tonight,y'all mind "selling" the match on the 29th?

@Gooners

When will Wenger discover that playing Cesc upfront as against his normal CM role is detrimental to the dude's game?

Also Denilson should be allowed to rest as he seems too jaded to be part of this run in

Still loving my team,we are the ARSENAL.

The title race is still ALIVE!

Arshavin!What a player.Predatory,clinical and full of guile.Exactly what we missed at the weekend.This night's performance vindicated the outcry and outrage that followed his non-inclusion against Chelsea from the get-go.

One point from Anfield is NOT a bad result.Whatever way it comes

Any one seen the movie Gremlins?or Mac and me?

Plus the embezzled,the cornered and the siphoned?

Sauron,

I know for once you will be a true GOONER tommorow.

Don't hide it man,let it show,you need us more than we need the 3 points.

But please Arsene,bungle it as you did on Saturday pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

@ Gooners!

As per Ade and Persie's injury,it is not as serious as feared by most gooners here:

Arsenal will be without Robin van Persie and Emmanuel Adebayor for the trip to Liverpool on Tuesday.

The Dutchman picked up a groin problem in the FA Cup Semi-Final defeat to Chelsea on Saturday. His Togolese strike partner is rested because Arsène Wenger does not want to gamble on his tight hamstring.

On the upside, Bacary Sagna is back after sickness. But, at his press conference on Monday afternoon, the Arsenal manager was unsure if the right back would start or not.

“From Saturday we have lost Robin van Persie, who has a little groin problem,” said Wenger.

“Emmanuel Adebayor is rested. He has a little hamstring alert and we don’t want to take a gamble on him.

“Bacary Sagna is back in the squad we’ll decide if he can play tomorrow.”

For the match tommorow,i really wish we can be defeated for once

Anything to make the scummies lose the prem really

Not only was Wenger's formation ludicrous yesterday,the dramatis persona he decided to feature in his excruciatingly dire formation were laughable.
Diaby and Denilson?At least one of those could have sat out for an in-form Song.
What about the late substitution when it was obvious the game needed a lift when it was obvious we recoiled into our shell after Theo's goal?



[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=247857.msg3753296#msg3753296 date=1240185613]He wasn't dire when y'all dispatched Villareal with ease, was he?[/quote]?

I want to see the hunger,panache,passion and vision with which we dispatched Villareal in ALL our matches.
Wenger should have revved the team on rather than soft-pedal as he did with his formation at Wembley.
Sauron,how many save did Cech make in that match,?That's so unlike Arsenal

How many times have you seen Wenger justify his action,viz a viz team selection in a post-match conference?
Yesterday i listened to him do that.To me, it is indicative of a perceived error by him.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=247857.msg3753257#msg3753257 date=1240184825]We now know why most of y'all can never manage a football club. . . . . .[/quote]We know why most of y'all are nothing but myopic arm-chair analyst

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=247857.msg3753257#msg3753257 date=1240184825]Have a go at Chelsea and pay dearly for it. Arsenal had no strong base to launch their attack from.
Had Gallas played things woulda been different. Wenger had to go for the conservative method because he is keeping an eye on the Scousers.[/quote]And i tell you again to go back and watch the match.There was no ingenuity or cutting edge to Chelsea's game yesterday and it wasn't because our mid-field was superb.
These same Chelsea team just played a match in which Cech's jitters was exposed to the maximum.Chelsea was left psychological drained and we had a chance of having a go at them and exploit a "failing" keeper.Arsenal doesn't play to suit any team.We play our game and that is what made us who we are.

I never knew our season is hinged on this match?Infact Wenger can now play the rested Arshavin and Song so we can win the EPL

BTW,for once i am gonna be supporting the 'pools on the day.Anything to see y'all lose the prem.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=247857.msg3753257#msg3753257 date=1240184825]Arshavin woulda been marked out of the game by Ivanovic. I did not see him when he came on.
Coming here to clamour for him is hindsight analysis.
Playing Ade as a lone striker is not the first time. In the first half of last season when Van Rapist was injured, Ade was deployed as a lone striker and it worked magic.[/quote]Sometimes you amaze me with your porously clairvoyant analysis.
What is to say Arshavin wouldn't have out-played Ivanovic.And how many minutes did he have on the field yesterday to make an impression?
We aint talking about your PS3 game here man

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=247857.msg3753257#msg3753257 date=1240184825]Exactly ma point. . . . . .
Wenger's formation helped stifle Chelsea's game but a dreadful goalkeeper was the difference between the 2 teams.[/quote]Arsenal just DID NOT turn up on the day due to our unusual formation against a team that pace and passing skill aint their forte.Fabianski's blunder was just a timed bomb ready to explode

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=247857.msg3753257#msg3753257 date=1240184825]Wenger is a wise man.[/quote]I know you will say anything to justify you ridiculous posture on the match but this is about the only part of your post i agree with

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=247857.msg3753209#msg3753209 date=1240184029]That was because they made it difficult for Arsenal.
They squeezed up the space you normally get playing teams who are ready to do tip-tap with you.
Essien was breaking up your play like crackers and y'all were out-muscled.[/quote]Essien DID NOT out-muscle any one yesterday;the mid-field was not existent.Not with Diaby and Denilson playing.
The best option yesterday would have been a Cesc-Song partnership and the Chavs would have been ravaged from the flanks with the presence of a raving Arsh and Walcott.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=247857.msg3753209#msg3753209 date=1240184029]4-2-3-1 was the best formation Wenger coulda played given the injuries in your defence.
Go and watch the game again. He had to play Van Rapist on the wing to help Gibbs.
Arsenal failed because they were not good enough. There was nothing Wenger coulda done to arrest that situation.[/quote]Surprisingly Gibbs wasn't troubled yesterday throughout.And it wasn't due to RVP's defensive tendecies BUT because Gibs upped his game and Chelsea had no natural winger on that flank.
Wenger on watching and noticing that in the first 45 mins could have made a quick tactical volte-face

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=247857.msg3753209#msg3753209 date=1240184029]Fabianski was dire yesterday. . . . .[/quote]No one was more dire than Wenger yesterday

dayokanu:
Oga V
i do not agree on Gibbs, he had a good game.

And that was exactly what he meant when he(Oga V) asked ,"did he play"?.More like not wanting to state the obvious.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=247857.msg3753177#msg3753177 date=1240183493]Nah. . . . . . .It will be down to the loads of medicore players Arsenal currently parade at the Emirates.
There's no way any Arsenal team will beat a Chelski side with Cech-Terry-Essien-Lampard-Drogba spine.
Arsenal have never beaten a Chelsea side with Drogba and Essien playing(that says a lot).

If Song or Eduardo or Henry had played, Arsenal would still have lost.
Maybe Chelsea wouldn't have found it as easy as they did last night but the loss was inevitable.[/quote]And what is to say we wouldn't have scored and sealed up the match if we've had a go at Chelsea and not play conservatively.With a Cech in post,Wenger had no reason but to play his best attacking option of Arshavin and his best defensive option of Song.Playing Ade alone in front yesterday was suicidal against a stable back 4 like Chelsea's.

You can spin it all you want,but there was no ingenuity nor extra-ordinary contributions from the duo you mentioned,especially Drogba.BUT for the goal which was gifted by an expired Silvestre who gave up too easily and a Fabiaski who mis-judged his run,what did Drogba do prior to that?

I still feel Wenger allowed the thought of a frail back-line over-played in his mind.Whatever happened to attack is the best form of defence

Vieira:
Diaby - Absolute crap
Adebayor - A disgrace
Fabregas - Below Par
Toure - Below Par
Eboue - OK but one massive mistake
Fabianski - His inexperience really showed in this match, maybe the lack of a good defence affected him
Theo - Oure best player
Denilson - very average
Silvestre - Below Par
Gibbs - Did he play??
Van Persie - played well and lots of running, why was he substituted?
Still too angry to talk.

He aggravated his groin injury.
