Wow! Sorry about that. Did u get involved in student union/activism on campus? .... Hope u later had things sorted out ?

Thanks.

No not unionism issues but Exam malpractice. I was caught writing a Carry over course for my friend, room and course mate.

Na me Bleep up. How could someone in second class upper in civil engineering be writing Carry over? That was how one of the lecturers traced me out when he came close to me.

I later graduated in 2015 after writing another jamb in 2010 in a state university with the same grade in Mathematics Education

Although the Manager is right but he has forgotten that Club pedigree and the nature of the players surrounding the goalkeeper have major roles to play in terms of impactions and quality delivery week in week out in every club

Mikel Arteta plotting a move for Juventus striker in January as Arsenal sit on £70m transfer kity after being snubbed by Vlahovic’

Arsenal are considering a January move for Juventus forward Dejan Kulusevski after failing to sign Fiorentina’s Dusan Vlahovic, according to reports.

Mikel Arteta, the Gunners’ manager, is looking for a new attacker to help maintain the club’s recent form and had identified Vlahovic as a possible option, but it was reported that the Fiorentina man had refused to answer calls from the north Londoners.

Kroenke’s appearance on Sky Sports coincided with Sky Sport Italia reporting that Arsenal are willing to pay up to Fiorentina’s £70 million asking price for Vlahovic in the upcoming window.


According to Sky Sport Italia, Arsenal are now launching their Plan B and are interested in making a move for out-of-favour Juventus star Kulusevski, who has made just two starts this season under Max Allegri.

Kulusevski has a contract in Turin until 2025, having joined as an exciting youngster from Parma in 2020, but he will want to play regularly to ensure he progresses and reaches his full potential.

The Sweden international has one goal in 15 appearances this season, but he has only been used as a substitute and in cup games


Arsenal have won four games in a row and are unbeaten in their last ten – and Kulusevski’s quality would help elevate the team to another level as they look to make a push for the top four, with Arteta hoping to add support for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.

It comes after they were dealt a setback in their pursuit of Vlahovic, who was thought to be worth around £68 million.

Arsenal were eager to complete a deal after rivals Tottenham were said to be put off by the fee, but Italian media reported that the player simply refused to pick up the phone.

There are reports that Vlahovic has already agreed to join Juventus next summer, which could explain his refusal to speak with the Gunners.



Vlahovic has eight goals in 12 Serie A games this season, including a hat-trick against Spezia at home

HENRY THIERRY

Since Henry's record breaking season, the average number of goals scored by a player with 15+ assist in a season is 7

In 2002/2003, THIERRY HENRY hit 20 assist as well as 24 league goals.

He is the only player in the history of the competition to achieve 20+ in both tallies in the same campaign

The greatest player ever. No need for any debate

I they ss2 that year

wao that is interesting indeed

Thank you so much for bringing back some color, celebrations and positivity to this thread.

It's my pleasure Brother

The hatred between the 2 neighbors is follow come

Wallahi na reeeeeeaaaaaaalllllllll follow come rivalry ooo

Dein: when Vieira arrived he spoke no English. We gave him a teacher and weeks later I asked him in french, "can you say something to me in English?"

Vieira Replied: "Tottenham are Shit"

Dein :"who taught you that?"

Vieira : Ray Parlour

Just a reminder

Jodera:
I've watched plenty video clips of this vlhahovic guy and he is my few findings

Pros:
1. This guy is an excellent finisher. He's left-footed but he can as well score with right

2. He can also shoot outside the box, so at least we've striker that can shoot outside the box

3.. He gat good positioning and he's not stingy too.

4. He can dribble but not too an effective dribbler

5. He has speed but I'll grade it 6or6.5/10

6. He's good aerially and can take free kick

Cons
1.. He seems to have a habit of not having a good ball control. While he can knock ball down for his teammates, but he can't hold the aerial ball and move if there's no teammates around

2. If he wanna dribble outside the box, either he falls down or they blow for foul. Meaning he's easily bullied

3. He's not so great tracking back sha(just once in a while) .

4. He is not a great passer of the ball.

The great thing that might convince arsenal and the board is that he's 21(the kinda player arsenal is gathering).

Nb: this is just an opinion from what I watched from different YouTube compilation and what I read too. I might be right or wrong, but it's just my findings.

Do you think arsenal should go for him January/July

Yes Arsenal should go for him please

Spy360:

Tierney no doubt is better than Tavares. Tavares looks more energetic and determined hence his performances. But Tierney will bring solidity, direction and intelligent movement plus accurate crosses and cut back for assists.

With the new formation, Tierney will easily impress fans on his return. I hope he proves me right.

I hope he proves you right too because what I hate about him is his too many back passes going forward and when we are about to launch an attack. I hate back passes alot

BlueRayDick:
I can never forget this very incident in the 2007 carling cup final versus Chelsea ; Diaby kicked Terry in the chin while trying to clear the ball in a goal mouth scramble.

Omo! I feared Terry had died at that very moment o, only for him to come back to lift the trophy after we lost

I didn't watch the game that day because I was on campus running around to see if I would be recalled after being suspended for 3 years since 2004 when I was in 400 level going to 500

Spy360:

What's most remarkable about Arsene Wenger going unbeaten was not because it happened but that he predicted it. It's easy to say something and harder to do, but to say and do is the hardest.

#MyGOAT

Indeed he said it and achieved it and that's why he is FIFA's Head of Administration today

TAKEHIRO TOMIYASU: confirmed that he rejected SPURS to join ARSENAL

"I thought I wouldn't able to join ARSENAL"

"I thought I was going to SPURS."

"On deadline day I rejected them. ARSENAL asked me to join them and I did immediately"

#COME ON YOU GUNNER

Eawwal:


These guys really love the club and they play for the badge.

Seriously they do and don't be surprised that they can recreate the invincibles era if things continue the way they are right now

Ben White: I have played in a few games now for ARSENAL and my mom goes to all the matches. She told me how great the away fans are, And to be fair, we hear that as players.

"She said they are pretty mad and she haven't seen anything like it. It's great on those away games when you get a win and can go over to the fans afterwards and appreciate their support"

Aaron Ramsdale: "Ben white, Gabriel and Tomiyasu and KT or NT, whenever they are playing, we actually really enjoy defending.
Ben said to me in the middle of the game, ' when you make a save, I just want to punch you in the face in celebration'

Wenger - I fulfilled the dream of my life
Rob Kelly 11 Nov 2021


When Arsene Wenger said in November 2002 that he believed his side could win the title and go unbeaten, he was ridiculed in some quarters.

Not for the first time though, our legendary former manager had the last laugh as the next season he achieved exactly that.

Find out more about Arsene Wenger: Invincible
So how did it feel to achieve what many thought impossible in 2003/04 and win the title with an immaculate record?

"It was the moment where I fulfilled the dream of my life," he says in Arsene Wenger: Invincible.

"The fact that I could convince this group to achieve something that they would not think would be possible.

"I've done my job in a perfect way. I am so proud for having done it."

Arsene Wenger had a simple response when he was asked whether he is still in love with Arsenal.

"Of course... my life is red and white and that will remain."

Find out more about Arsene Wenger: Invincible
Speaking at a Q&A at the premiere of the documentary charting his career with us, Arsene Wenger: Invincible, our legendary former manager said he will always have the club in his heart.

"Yes, of course [I am still in love with Arsenal]," Wenger said. "I tackle, I shoot, I defend, I attack [during every game] of course.

"My life is red and white and that will remain, especially as I don’t manage anymore so I have no other commitment.

"This is a real love story on my side that will never stop. I must say that arrived here at the age of 47... I came out from my village and was 10 years at the top level in France, after I went to Japan, which was a risk completely to my career. Then I came to England at the age of 47 and stayed until I was 69, and I gave to this club the best years of my career and I am happy for having done that.

"I said many times that I many times had the opportunity to leave and I didn’t do it, because I felt I could work in this club and generate values that will remain after me.

"Today I can look at what I did, and I am happy. I am grateful to Arsenal because I could do my job liked I wanted to do it, of course with ups and downs, be with my team - we were happy to work without any compromise on what was important to us, which were the values that were important to us.

"Not every manager has that luck, that is why I am grateful, for such a long period, to do that."

Arsene Wenger: Invincible, the definitive portrait of one of the greatest managers of all time, comes to cinemas from November 11.

It will be available on Blu-ray, DVD and digital download on November 22. Click here to pre-order now.

Courtesy of Noah Media Group, the creators of some of the most acclaimed feature-length sports documentaries of recent years (Finding Jack Charlton, Bobby Robson: More than a Manager, The Edge, Steve McQueen: The Man & Le Mans), comes the very first documentary about Wenger, as told in his own words.

A genius, visionary and obsessive, what Wenger achieved with Arsenal changed the landscape of the English game and shaped football worldwide.

Featuring remarkable access and previously unseen archive footage, directors Gabriel Clarke (Bobby Robson: More Than A Manager, Finding Jack Charlton) and Christian Jeanpierre draw back the veil on a truly enigmatic figure who discusses, for the first time, the football ‘addiction’ that was both his driving force and his 'fatal flaw’.

Shot on location in England, France and Arsène’s home village of Duttlenheim, Arsene Wenger: Invicible is a compelling, intimate insight into a football figure like no other.


Framed against the backdrop of Arsenal’s historic Invincible season of 2003/04, the film sees Wenger reflect candidly on his revolutionary era at the club and the emotional and personal turmoil that surrounded his exit after 22 years. Gravitas and heavyweight authority is added by an A-list supporting cast, led by Wenger’s greatest rival from the time, Sir Alex Ferguson, and star players whose careers were impacted by the French coach, including Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Dennis Bergkamp, Ian Wright, Emmanuel Petit and Robert Pires.

Arsène Wenger’s achievements are stunning. His legacy is unique. Never before has he told his story in his own words... until now.

Roland17:


He is dead to me He can return to Barcelona and Chelsea for the recognition he is craving. I hope one of Chelsea/ Barcelona will erect a statue for him and rename a stand after him.

What has he done for them to deserve such a dignity from them both?

Even Oliver Giroud that won champions league and Europa league trophies with Chelsea can never be accorded such a treatment ooo

Roland17:
Look at Fabregas the snake

why are you calling him the snake?

Is it because he played for Chelsea?

iamoyindamola:
We need to start scoring more, the chances are coming but goals refused to come...
Chances will be limited against top teams

I think we need to pray that our forward line rediscover their scoring boots especially with the chances that the young man below do create

And the culprit is always Aubameyang. See how he missed another penalty against Watford and cancelled out Odegaard's goal that should have gone in

By and Large, it's time for us to employ Mourinhos tactics of if you don't score, don't concede as our defence line are now showing that they are capable of keeping clean sheet

Last night at the event for the invincibles

daveP:
Cool.


Meme worthy. See Saka!!

Welcome back

kodded:



I love his energy and I feel that this energy is gradually growing among the defenders and youngsters too, soon the whole team will catch this feeling.


Positive times to be a gunner , just hope it remains even if there is a setback

Yes the Energy is truly growing among the team and that can be seen in the last 2 matches that Arteta seemed to have gotten his starting Eleven especially with the inclusion of Lacazette who himself possess and showcase the same energy too in the forward line

Know more about ARSENAL especially for those of us that always claim we have never been relegated before.

What we would do to Arteta if he loses to Liverpool after raising our Hopes with 10 games unbeaten run

Do you agree we should do the below to him or forgive him should the unexpected happened

Lush100:


The guy deserve it.
I want him to keep shouting on any defender that slack for 20 seconds.
The guy na agbero like Lehman.
I want at least 17 clean sheets from him this season.
I like his determination and decision-making.
I pray he succeed.

Indeed he really deserve it

Yes his shouting has been working wonders

na real Agbero na him be. Imagine him sitting on the floor of the England bus rather than sitting on the seat

17 clean sheet? that would be great

His decisions and determination are top notch

Amen for the prayers to succeed

You can't just separate the two for both club and country
