I don't understand people's issue with Arsenal.

Nearly all of us including me agreed its wasn't a penalty.

I only brought news from football experts and co and all of a sudden our season is this and that.

Arsenal fans generally criticize their players more than other fan bases.

Pls take your complaint to your own club and mind your nose in our butter.

Breaking:
Head of fifa ref Collins
Says the last incident between Saka.and Neuer was a penalty as Neuer lifted his leg also towards Saka and there was contact enough to fall him down.

Swedish ref. has also acknowledged and apologize to Arsenal stating he didn't have a better view of the incident.

mostob:
Good. But was the ball in play before Gabriel touched it?

.
Bro

Matta don end.

Raya played a goal kick
Gabriel rather wanted to retake it.

Same way a player takes a throwing and plays it to another player to take the throwing.

No need arguing.

If Kane did not see red card, i don't know what's all the fuss about retaking a goal kick.

The worst case scenario would be a yellow card for time wasting of which it wouldn't make sense since we weren't on the winning at that time.
Some things need footballing common sense not all these wannabes

iamoyindamola:
That kane elbow was it red or not

.

All former ref including former Pgmol boss says its red card.

Now.
Kiwor has not been playing.
I believe he was training hard for this game.
Immediately I saw he could not pick up speed against sane.
I knew Zinny will come in.
So we can control midfielder.
Same way Partey despite very good against press was giving away ball easily.

Jorginho will play ahead Partey next leg .
I expect GJesus to start also with Harvetz so we have single midfield pivot of rice.

Kiwor did not do justice to his position.
They hardly played a pass to him.
He played like he was ill and was only forced to play.
White was really handful.
He played like his life was at stake.
GJesus should play along side Odegard.

Local debt is better than foreign debt.

Besides it benefit goes to the citizen

Treasure17:
Should arsenal win the champion league, I will donate my salary to all arsenal fans. Seun please note this.

.

We will collect your salary

iamoyindamola:
Na kiwi our oga use oo

.
Expected

mostob:
I don't think they would want to sit on the bench. With Timber back, Zinchenko's time will reduce. And if we sign another forward, Jesus won't get enough game time.

.

Zinny will move to midfield.
GJ can play Lw or RW

mostob:
As for incoming transfer, Arteta is free to do whatever he wishes abeg. We have all doubted his recent signings only to end up swallowing Ls. Let him do whatever he likes abeg.

We will have a lot of departures in the coming windows. Partey, Jorginho, Pensioner, Ramsdale, Zinchenko, Nketiah, Jesus, Nelson, Elneny and others. So if Arteta should sign someone who we all deemed surplus to requirement, I'll take it that he is preparing for the future.

.


Departures

Partey,Cedric, ESR, Nketiah, Elneny.Ramsdale
Depending on bid...Nelson, Lokonga
Depending on negotiation; Jorginho .


Arteta won't sell GJ or Zinny
Unless very good bid.

The race for title is still open.

We aren't in advantage until our rivals have another slip.

Goal difference is not an.advantage yet.
Points are.

Our major match will be Tottenham and to a lesser extent Man U.

Aston villa and Chelsea both have important games before our. We have 4 days of rest.
Aston villa have 2 days of rest.
Chelsea play FA cup with Mancity before our game.
Tottenham and wolves pur major games.

Liverpool have 3 straight away games though. Fulham, West ham and Aston villa I think (they have long rest for this)

Douglas Luiz has just picked up a 10th yellow card and will receive a two-game ban. One of those games is against Arsenal.

All these na unnecessary shalayes. Na simple question I ask you. When we beat them 2-0 that year, na high press we use? You don forget how many games we have lost even with 80% possession.

Forget it, you need to understand the basics of tactical analysis first.

.

Don't mind jare.

I remember when Liverpool were playing AC Milan..champions league.
AC Milan had scored 3 goals.
After Liverpool pulled on....they brought in Brazilian left back Sergio to provide attacking width.
Steve Gerrad left his midfield position to play right back.
Liverpool won that game.

We set tell u say Arteta read game....he wanted to strike in the last 15 mins of the game.
The question is between Pep,s team.and Arteta team....who could control possession more.....
Even the quality of personal they are slightly better especially when you consider their bench.
Even first leg...they had more possession but Rodri and KDB were absent giving us a better chance to control game.

Keeping all our top players fit is key.

If Rodri absence and KDB injury did not occur this season....who knows...they might have won more matches.

Look at the whole picture.

Our winning first leg gave us believe we can win them.

Under how many days.
Please re port a genuine news.

NERC and AEDC playing pingpong

Zincheko will help in the midfield.
That's the plan.

BlueRayDick:
This is why I kept refrencing how Pep choked up the midfield. He knew what he was doing and wanted to snuff life out of us from the middle to the final third.

If Raya had been trying to force play from back along with Saliba, Gabriel and Kiwior we for don collect in that 1st half sef cos City too were passive aggressive in closing us down ASAP from back.

.

Oga Pep meant arsenal on Sunday.
He said it in pre match interview tgat he will beat arsenal.

Do u know that even with our plan.
They almost succeeded.

If u came to win and your opponents are creating chances upon chances....u will be forced to defend.

But u see this Mancity game...Pep just wanted to score a goal and control the possession to the end....if we try to do anyhow ...he will unleash more goals.

We had the better chance.

Arteta did not come to draw.
He knows Pep meant arsenal on Sunday.

Arteta read it well.
Once Pep saw that he was nullified...he began to play his Mancity normal game second half
Then reverted back to his between lines game again.
Again Rodri is the one for that tactics.
For normal game KDB is the one who takes control.

Arsenal players aside coach were playing with their life depend on that game. If not we for loose.
An the referee was trying to ensure a balanced game where unnecessary calls where avoided.

Forget let's go for Bayern.

U will see ball

Someone said Chelsea will win a cup b4 arsenal. Even the Arsenal women have replied that answer.

Ant are coming to the club of Sugar.

The stats for the top six or even top 3 says arsenal are contending for the epl title but some people are here with a biased mind.

If u think arsenal are not competing go and beat Mancity at their etihad stadium.

Now run along

Jodera:
You just talk exactly wetin dey my mind.
I didn't even see your response before I gave him mine.

If Havertz have been stingy first leg and made wrong decision too, we would have been here saying how Arteta came for a draw in the first leg

.

Baba Arteta don dey mature.
U see that first half.
Thst is how city play when they meet a difficult opponent with good structure.
It Peps way of scoring one goal.
Arteta read it very well being his apprentice.
Especially KDB and Rodri....Rodri was the one that was pulling that play for Pep Bernado Siva providing the foil or decoy.
But rice Odegard and Jesus no allow that first half plan.
Sadly Jesus had an opportunity (second opportunity) which he did not take.

Pep controlled game but arsenal was more likely to score.
I no even dey fear Bayern with wetin we play Mancity.
So far as they can get Bayern vital details and tactic of play.

Spy360:
Partey na Baba na.
In the first half Arteta made the team to defend. In the second we came out to attack and press high.

I think that Arteta planned to draw that game. If he had risked it and come all out, we would have had a chance because we were more direct going forward that City was.

.

Arteta did not come for a draw he came with a plan.
The pressure will get to city as the clock goes.

Pep left the tactical game he was playing with Arteta in the first half to play ball in the second half.
Arteta wanted to win that match o.
Mancity is not Brentford.

Arteta wanted to strike in the last 15 minutes of the game.

Trossard did not do justice to the chance he had.
He could have passed. Or run more and passed.

saysoo:
oga read that report from CBN?

.

By default

Treasury bill rates when stated literally without selection are usually the highest possible rates which are usually the 364 days band.
Having said that....no offense at all.

It's all good

saysoo:
that announcement from CBN was a dissaster. You increased TB rates from 8% to 16%, why investors no go rush your bills.

.
Who told u treasury bill is 16%.

I did 20% just before the Easter holiday

Jodera:
So Stones and Walker are truly injured afterall and they'll miss tomorrow's game.

.

Rodri should be the one injured.

Sir foreign exchange inflow and foreign currency inflow is one and the same thing albeit expressed in a different way.

Is like saying let demand and supply determine the price of something and saying let market forces determine the price of something.

I have not read the report and I am not for or against the report or making a scrutiny of the numbers.

Unless we are taking of Foreign direct investment (FDI) .

Peace

daveP:

Plus see highest goalscorer this time


What you feel. If city/ Haaland Aerial success be like that, imagine we get our own aerial merchant...

Harvetz second top scorer for arsenal.
Spy360 will be delighted to bring the Harvetz debate with mostob and jodera gang.
Common Harvetz prove yourself to Mancity

Hello
It was long I tried the Canada thing.
It says my gc-keys have been revoked when I tried logging in.
Pls how do I recover the information I typed earlier using the same e-mail

Roland17:
We have to be careful with how we compare and talk about that era. There is absolutely no way a coach like Wenger who had won numerous league titles including being invincible, FA Cups and a trip to the UEFA suddenly became content making top 4. You think selling his best players gave him any joy? Some of these things are tough.

I challenge anyone to mention a top class coach during that era that Wenger competed against or even now who would have come close to achieving top 4 considering our reality at the time. If anything, top teams like Madrid and even City openly recruited him. When the position became vacant, did you wonder why no top coach wanted to touch it?

Furthermore, Arteta is benefiting from the sacrifices made by Wenger during those difficult years. Keeping the club alive by qualifying for the UCL, getting bargains and selling his best players kept the club afloat financially. Arteta got a taste of something similar in his first 2 years when he had no funds. We flirted with relegation before finishing 8th in consecutive seasons. We just couldn’t compete with other teams financially.

If Arsenal finds itself in a similar situation today, I can assure you that we will lose Saka/ Saliba/ Odegaard / Rice and Arteta will jump ship ASAP! We will have to rely on our academy and bargains to even stay alive in the EPL.

.

I know many guys will not want to cut Wenger some slack but Tottenham are having a similar issue with their stadium.
Eventually Harry Kane left.

Mourinho, Conte and Co. all complained about LEVY.

U guys are looking at only the football aspects.
See there was a time Everton were buying players anyhow.
But their revenue still remain the same that's why them dey dock.points now.

No manager will like to sell his best players unless the players want to leave.

Arsenal was first to completely build a new stadium.

Others want to do additions now.

Top four every year for 19 years is no joke even with good players ask Liverpool.

If u are building a brand from the scratch. It's not that easy.

Privacy bro? WhatsApp will kinda intrude people's privacy.

Just an after thought.

I've eventually subscribed using glo.
But it's expensive compared to my airtel

Let's focus on Bayern and leave semi final.

The team i didn't want us to face was Real Madrid (because the players may give them too much respect being the UCL experience masters) and Athletico (because I don't want injury to our players. Athletico play rough much like porto).

Bayern play matured football.
These are the games Arteta can win.

Hope most of our players can opt out of international friendlies and rest for these 2 weeks.
Our conditioning coach should help us.

I'm thinking we can form a whatsapp group to discuss only football matters.
The internet issues for the past few days and being unable to log into NL to read from u guys especially mostob, spy360, and jodera almost drove me nuts.

My glo for browsing is okay but my airtel mainly used for data is totally epileptic.

Bayern!!!

Very good set-up for us to play Bayern at this time.
The current arsenal team gives me confidence against Bayern

Brothers

This Porto match will further increase the mentality of the players if they take this win over Porto as an experience and use it to play their game one match at a time.

It will also help Arteta and his coaching crew to look at ways they can structure his team when faces with similar opposition like this.

If not for Harvetz pull on Pepe Odegard goal would have been a beauty.

All the same that Porto game was an experience that is good we had. It was tough.
It would also help Raya to know that teams can play shots from anywhere. So he knows how far he should come.out of the post.

Na Athletico Madrid come win interMillan.

Do not underestimate the potency of the attack of any team in UCL.

What a performance.

I knew we would win. I know we just needed to score that goal to balance the deficit from the 1st leg.
Raya is proving to be the signing.

I had wanted G.Jesus to play from the left with Saka on the right.
I was only concerned about him being clinical in front of goal.
Gabriel is good against teams like this. Because he attracts many players and able to release the ball to our players who may be free.

Arteta should take them to Dubai for another hot weather treatment....Dubai Magic....
