Was just surprised because this is the same route Arsenal wanted him to take but he disagreed and everyone blamed not just Arteta but the whole management team(I myself inclusive). Now Brighton have just done the same with him, and someone is giving excuse that Brighton have a lot of players for his position as if Arsenal don't have other options to choose ahead of him too. If one choose to constantly see 6 as six alone forgetting that it can also be 9 from another view point, then I have no business engaging such person. After all what do I know, I'm just a stoner who loves Arsenal more than any individual in the team.

I think he would have stayed. If Ethan and Myles could still be with the squad till now, Dubbery would not be loaned out. The three of them were given the same path. Dubbery opted not to sign a contract and chose to leave.

no I don't follow the guy, I saw the news in one arsenal blog like dat. But just like you, someone mentioned the Omotolani guy in the comments, so I'm guessing he's the real owner of the post. What's his handle on fb let me check him out?.

Omotolani Sleek.... something sha
I actually saw the post on his page. that's why I asked.

germaphobe:
What a shame, Duberry can’t even make Brighton’s bench yesterday, and now he's been linked to a loan move to Championship sides. Another one that left and is now back on the exact path he could’ve had at Arsenal

Be like you dey follow that Omotolani guy on FB?

Jodera:
I don't see any fault about Raya for today's game sha. Infact, I feel he was really outstanding today.

Timber was pretty overconfident and it nearly cost us. Na Gj own pain me pass. My guy sweetly spinned away from his marker, beat one player, instead of him to pass forward, he dribbled back and passed backwards, 3 seconds later, ball is with Raya. Omorr, e just weak me.

But it's first match of the season sha, they're just growing sharpness. Most players didn't really look sharp for 90mins so with more game time I believe they'll get it.

Just glad for the 3pts

I've been noticing Raya's poor distribution since that match against Leverkusen. Yesterday, Gabriel had the ball under control only for Raya to emerge and boot the ball back upfield. And guess what, no Arsenal player was there. Make all of them calm down o

Jodera:
Yeah, he'll be a good option for Cb cover but I think it's a good option for Gabriel (as per Lb) than Saliba. But maybe Arteta sees Calafiori as someone who can deputize Gabu in case of any eventualities while Zinny/Timber plays Lb

He played mostly in RCB during preseason that's why I mentioned Saliba. He is the only backup candidate for Saliba

Timber and Calafiori (yes) are technical but they can sometimes be overconfident. Timber almost cost us a clean sheet today. Arteta needs to call them to order.

Na why I like Ben White. Unless he is playing against Doku, baba no dey do unnecessary dribbling. Just the basic.. o pari

As for Gabriel Jesus and Raya, they better stop smoking.

Jodera:
I was shocked how ref or var didn't give this as a red card. He clearly looked and choked Havertz neck and the action was obvious. I'm certain if we're on the guilty end of this, we for collect red card.

Also, the Saka penalty claim, I still don't understand how it wasn't given. There was enough contact that impeded Saka's movement.

Make ref better catch their head this season oo

Saka made it look like a dive bro.. That's why I said he should leave diving for those who Sabi do it. He did the same thing against Bayern last season.

BlueRayDick:
How this is not a red card is still a mystery to me

Bro, I was scared make the guy no break Havertz's neck.

Lush100:
Arsenal should call down.
Many suitors will come for Nketiah.

Epl clubs that need striker so far.

Wolves- had chances a striker would have made better impact.I
Southampton -
Bournemouth -pending when there Brazilian strikers settles in EPL
Everton- I doubt Nketiah will move here.
Maybe a clause.

Remove Bournemouth please. Thy just spent around 40m on Evanilson. I don't see them paying another 30m for Nketiah unless they make another big sale.

Shegzdave:
Jesus suppose deck the guy

Jared sef na oversabi... I'm sure he no fit allow another man press him yansh.

Gabriel Jesus don high before entering the field. Needless yellow card. But as a man, how you go dey press your fellow man's yansh na?

Nice to see Timber back. I thank God he has stopped those ridiculous sliding tackles. That was a nice turn towards the end but he later fumbled and almost cost us a clean sheet.

Yes, Havertz wasted that ball.
Yes, Havertz fouled that Wolves player.
But that was an inhumane act from that Wolves player. Like you're on your feet already, why falling? Ok, you wan fall... why attempt to choke your fellow player? Like he could have used the other hand to support himself o.

BlueRayDick:
An attacker in. The box should be attempting to score and not passing behind him.

Rice was behind him and nothing is sure if he passes to rice . Martinelli on the other hand has a clear view of the goal and it is only right for him to attempt to put the ball in the goal post

I'm not disputing sha... he had two nice options, he went for the one. In argument against the other option, the box was already scrambled so no assurance Rice would have scored too.

Saliba needs to do better with his passes. They're getting intercepted too often.
White will score a lot of goals this season if he can just perfect his shooting.

BlueRayDick:
They are all behind him. Immediately he cut that ball back if he decides to pass , the ball will be behind whoever he passes to

That cut back dribble he did took everyone out including his own team mates . He did the right thing attempting to shoot hoping for deflection into the net.

Rice was free bro. I wouldn't blame him for not cutting back sha... that was a goal had it been that oversabi Wolves defender didn't block it.

Make Saka leave this diving thing for those wey Sabi am. Immediately he tackled you, you will fall down asap like person wey never chop for 1000 years. The fall wey Saka fall is just like person wey dey fall in love.

Jodera:
This one that Kiwior is not in bench, seems he's one of those that's on sale shortlist oo

I really want him to stay. We need proper cover in CD. He can maybe deputise for Saliba

BlueRayDick:
I always use MTN 6,500 for 25GB per month on MTN. But there’s a high chance the 25Gb won’t last u for the whole month of u use an iPhone and like to watch videos on social media

Ok. Thank you.

Deltamani:
Meet the Nigeria U-20 women's national team,we need your support and prayers.

final squad? please can you share their team list.

Watched this chitchat between Ode and Ethan and I can't but admire the similarities between them. Both made their debut at 15. Both are coached by their father and still being coached by their father. They are both left-footed and play the same position.

Jodera:
Swearss... Blonde beards Blonde eye brows

Blonde moustache

Can someone suggest a good data bundle for MTN network. Airtel don dey misbehave. Make I see something to stream today's match.

BlueRayDick:
DaveP my guy ; how far ?

shey I talk am? They're busy scoring needless goals up and down during pre season

Jodera:
Lol, and that's a big "MAY" oo. Cos setpieces is all about trickery and intelligence aside height and physicality


Thanks for the correction bro

Yea... because their two CBs are about 6'5 and 6'6

TFLASHOGEE:
I nominate my man Charlesemeka, andrewbaba and mostob, i could have nominated komekn and omenablamblam or what is that funny Americana name but dem never release dia own category

My man... how you dey na?

TFLASHOGEE:
I suggest dey bring a category of who argue pass that one know need nomination the winner know him self already osunmo bala blue

Danielnino00:
U know, there used to be this end of the year nomination for members of the thread according to different categories... most active, most controversial, etc... it stopped some years ago.. I'm sure old timers like Kog45, Thesupernerd, thegoodjoe, joebie, chriskels, elyte89, bascovanveli, etc would remember it... maybe we should revive it... it used to be fun

Sounds fun... make we do am jare.
Hope it won't cause fight sha...

Jodera:
Yeah, I believe that's their target reason why Arteta said such.


But mehnnn, this is Epl, I doubt all 19 teams with all the money will allow Arsenal to do two two rounds each

Well, it is not impossible.

Jodera:
Really? Newcastle have Psr and ffp issues?
But even at that, I won't hold my breath. People that bought Isak and Tonali within two seasons have a plan and they'll wriggle their way around it without selling their treasures.

Watkins is good and yeah he's an arsenal fan. If we drop money, we fit unsettle am to force move but I doubt.

Yea though I can't say if they have found a way around it. I read it when the Bruno transfer rumours were trending.

Jodera:
Lmaoo....

I swear, next season you'll hear: Epl have decided that the average signings of players is 1.75 especially defenders. This is due to kini kan kini kan.
Any signing more than that will attract fine and penalization


I read that 8 of our 10 goals or so this preseason have been from setpieces. I've not verified yet but if true, it's scary oo

....but not for us

The two teams that may successfully defend against us in setpiece will likely be Everton and Newcastle.

The stat is false. Havertz, Jesus (twice), Trossard and Martinelli didn't score from setpiece.

germaphobe:

Talk o... you're so sure about all what you've been saying.

Spy360:
Our options will be Kai Havertz starting as CF and later dropped to midfield in the second half or Jesus starting and gets subbed of for a midfielder and Havertz moving up to CF

Something wey no work last season, you still want us to try it this season again?
