AIG07:
Why is the stadium half full?

This is probably the biggest crowd I've seen in that stadium for a while now. It's usually more or less empty.

Shut up semi-literate.
Even kids know the difference between a woman and women.
But you and your immature friend are too daft to know.

dasparrow:
You are so right because it is only a useless woman like your mother that could have given birth to a useless man like you that has nothing to offer the world. If your mother was not useless she would have aborted you or kept her legs closed.

dasparrow, always quick to type vile words and condemn men but seem to have nothing to say about a woman that murdered three toddlers.

You are just shameless bitter hypocrite.

luckygirl02:
Every 5am, Monday to Friday, my husband leave home so he can get to work early. That too, for a meagre pay. I feel so sorry for him everytime. #lifeofagraduateinnigeria.

You really are a good woman.

Most women don't even empathize or feel sorry for their husbands. They just tell you to be a man and suck it all up. After all your mates are doing the same.

Sometimes men just need few words of encouragement.

The man is actually the one who deserves to be omitted from the burial poster for felling to protect his kids.

How can a women violently take my life when I am fully awake?

Ladies shouldn't marry weaklings

Nice and clever spin to make the victim look like the villain while excusing the witch of a woman.

You guys never disappoint.

DMerciful:
Why cant women speak out when they need something? Perhaps our fore-fathers were right to be marrying several wives. We have adopted one man one wife from the white man and for everthing adopted, there are advantages and disadvantages. A man with 2-3 wives will not complain of sexual starvation, infact there will be competition among the wives for sexual attention.

Women refusing to communicate their feelings or problems with their partners just makes this whole relationship/marriage thing feels like one difficult chore. I mean life is already difficult as it is; even more so if you are a Nigerian living in Nigeria. But then you also have a wife who would deny you the most basic thing as sex because she has some issues which she wouldn't tell you but want you to somehow figure it out. Funnily enough, they can easily communicate such issues to friends (male friends inclusive), but never their partners.

I swear some men are living in hell.

The most hilarious thing about nairaland is that no matter how crazy and dumb a post is, you'll always find other nut jobs liking it.

Rarely do I miss an Arsenal game but kinda happy I missed this one. Comments here and on other forums imply we played like crap.

Sad for Welbeck. Wishing him quick recovery.

CrystalTiger:
Have no love for Mourinho but these pundits are all exactly what he called them..

"CAMERA FOOTBALL EINSTEINS"..

Bunch of jokers..

Goddammit.

These pundits are really annoying TBH. The way they talk and analyze games, you'll think they've got football all figured out and it's a great injustice that they are not offered the top jobs. Graeme Souness, Garry Neville all failed, monumentally, as coaches. I'm sure Merson, Owen, Carragher would fail even more spectacularly than those two.

sod09:
zaha is not an English player, the price should be around 45m
Lozano may be expensive cos of his world cup performance and current form

Zaha may be playing for the Ivorian national team, but he's still English and will still carry that premium that goes with English players. Besides, he just signed a long term contract with Palace and he's more or less the difference between them staying up or going down. He's worth so much for them.

Hardetayour:
How can u say someone needs armband to play on big matches?

Clowns all over this thread

Totally unnecessary, man.

sod09:
what do you guys think of zaha or lozano for wing

Zaha would be great but he seems out of the price range Arsenal would be willing to consider (something like 60-80 million pounds). The club will feel there are better values elsewhere. Which leads us to someone like Lozano. But there's no assurance he'll hit it running in a much superior and physical league.

If anything, I trust the Arsenal scouts headed by Mislintat to bring in someone that will fit and improve the team. They've been great so far (they have brought in Torreira, Guendouzi, Aubameyang, Mavropanos, Sokratis and Leno)

Rainmaker69:
No one wants to follow the money. No one is asking where the money will come from? Unless there is a monumental overhaul in the legislative and executive budgets, the money has to come out of the pockets of the private sector in personal and companies income taxes.
Where is the so-called organized labor when these civil servants don't report to work on time? Where is the NLC when civil servants demand bribes and inducements before they do their work. Have they justified their wages yet? Security, cleaners and domestic staff in these MDAs have become demi-gods who hide files and sell access to the highest bidder.
The civil service and the legislature are the biggest problems we have in this country. If they did their work, Nigeria would move forward.
We are in trouble.

Yeah, but it's perfectly okay for the elites that called themselves legislators to earn tens of millions of naira for pretty much doing nothing than to hang out in a chamber. However it deeply saddens you that a poor man is demanding he should be paid 30 thousand naira a month. Like you are sad that a human should be paid one thousand naira a day.

You see how sadistic you are.

Unlimited22:
Pep and who?

I meant to say Klopp and Guardiola. Lol

Unlimited22:
You haven't beaten Liverpool since April 2015.

Nah, I wouldn't.

Yeah, man, I know that. But Klopp is 3 years ahead of Emery and has had 6 transfer windows to build a team in his mould. Despite that, It was a fairly even game and I can't help but imagine Emery would have edged it out if he fielded a team with his own players. I think the future is bright for Arsenal as Emery has just shown himself to be a fine tactician. A couple of transfer windows and he'll definitely challenge Klopp and Guardiola.

I'm pleased.

COYG

I'll take the draw. Again

Have to hand it to the man Jose Mourinho. He's been getting his second half subs and tactical tweaks spot on over the past few weeks.
Battle for top four is gonna be fierce with Man Utd apparently back in it (if they were ever out ).

Wenger looks like a prophet now; "top four is like a trophy" said the great man.

sod09:
lol..you must love wengay so much then

I really do. Not only for the entertaining football his teams, especially the earlier ones, served up but for all he's done for the club. He helped the club build a modern and bigger stadium by managing to maintain a regular top four finish despite seeing his best players picked up regularly by the financially doped clubs. Look at Spurs, they can't even finish their stadium on time.

Basically, Wenger was regularly bashed for what the likes of Klopp and Poch are being praised for these days (actually these two have not even won anything with their present clubs).

sod09:
okay bro..but what is beautiful to watch with nothing to show forno it

Ah, bro, I support neither napoli nor juventus. I really don't care who wins the league (although I tend to always have soft spot for the underdog and the one who plays the more beautiful football).
I just wanna be entertained while watching football. Napoli and dortmumd do that for me at the moment. Of course Arsenal too

sod09:
you keep talking about Napoli as if they aren't there before, they will grow tired as the season go on.
Initial gra gra since the days of Cavani nothing to show for, imo no body take them serious contender

No where in my post did I say they are serious contenders, I said I enjoy watching them play. Two different things. I also said juve are a winning machine and are easily the favorites for the title this season, probably next season as well and the next. But I still don't enjoy watching them as much as I do napoli.

My post was very clear.

Fkhalifa:
Welbeck truly has the energy for this kind of game, no wonder Fergie was reported to have said" welbeck is among his first names on team sheet for big games because he does a 2 man job. I remembered he started the Madrid and Bayern games against utd under fergie,Though he doesn't guarantee goals but will surely help the course of our attack and defence..

I suggest iwobi starts on the left while welbeck comes in for him later on.

Or both Iwobi and Welbeck start the game and one of them goes off later on for Auba.

Iwobi seems to prefer the left flank

Keky:
I would love to see us change tactics and play a more defensive style this weekend. I think Emery is the kind of coach to made adjustments for each opponent. Liverpool is at its best when they're on the break, but if we can sit back and get bodies behind the ball, things can go our way.

On the flip side, if we survive first 30 mins without conceding, we WILL win, because Liverpool is crap in the 2nd half.

My preference is Welbeck starts ahead of Auba, who should come in at 2nd half and run at the tired Liverpool defence. Welbeck is such a hard worker and should help out in the defense. Very important Arsenal stays in the game long enough as, like you said, Liverpool are more of a first half team while Emery's Arsenal are awesome in second halves.

Regardless of the result though I wanna see a good performance and a fight.

COYG

Totally off topic but just gotta say that Napoli play such pleasant football. I recommend you guys watch their games more often. Juventus are just an efficient winning machine but Napoli play by far the most beautiful football in Italy.

Jenkinson playing his first arsenal game in about 700 days. Dude has been on 40-50k per week all this while.

Living the dream

Mustafi is playing, hopefully that means we won't be seeing him in the weekend.

tizteezy:
Are you David Dein's half brother? ���

I'm his nephew

I dream of a midfield 3 of Xhaka, Torreira and Guendouzi with Ozil behind the duo of Aubameyang and Lacazette

Hopefully Bellerin and Monreal/Kolasinac are fit for the Liverpool game. We really can't afford to go into that game with a makeshift defence.

usbcable:
Lot of coaches will give anything to coach Real madrid. Even with this our rags- tag players.

The koko is how will this players deliver with this roster, skillset, character and attitude

Seems you have been living in lala land. Coaches were actually not so keen on the Madrid managerial job a couple of months ago. Most coaches thought the job is a poisoned chalice. That's why they ended up with Lopetegui who was a failure in Portugal.

I keep hearing that Ronaldo was the one holding Benzema back and that once he leaves we'll see the real Benzema...

Meet the new Benzema same as the old one.
