that Facebook own dey always sure.

Until they start displaying those nonsense ads across the screen.

Napoleon55:
At least you accepted that MRI has drastically reduced age cheating,that includes Nigeria,to a reasonable level,
albeit not beyond any reasonable doubt.
That is encouraging.

Wait for him to come back with another epistle just to twist everything again.

Abusule007:
Every country now believes they can win us with Uzoho in post for the eagles.

Uzoho is a confidence booster for our opponents.

Lol... A ri teni mo wi f'apadi bo tire.



Even with Uzoho, we should be beating them blue black but Peseiro happen.

iamoyindamola:
Exactly but brazil coach said Jesus said he's fine
I hope you get it now
Same Jesus was in training today

Being fine is different from being fit to play.


Reports say he trained alone.

iamoyindamola:
No he was injured arteta didn't use since sevilla match if his injury wasn't serious arteta will surely use him and knowing jesus is always ready to play
Arsenal told brazil he's injured, brazil called jesus and he told them he's okay they invited him because of that

Not really bro...

Brazil knew Jesus was injured but still went ahead to hand him a call up. I think there is a new FIFA rule that allows countries to certify if a player is truly injured or not. They probably found out some clubs are refusing to release players for international matches under the guise of injury.

This has nothing to do with Gabriel Jesus. Brazil coach even said he would be left at the team hotel with a physio, a doctor and a therapist to assist with his fitness.

See Wright's reaction in there too

Ian was shocked 🤣🤣

Thegoodjoe withdrew at the last minute, so there's not really anything else I can do...

Ok bro... weldone

Roland17:
Here we go again with another wild goose chase of a player that will not help us this season. We have a depleted squad because of injuries, possible departures in January, we are in desperate need of reinforcements that can help now...I mean, what is with this infatuation?

None of these guys have panned out well, we have young prospects languishing at the academy or out on loan that are comparable in my opinion.

Well...his YouTube clips look impressive but I'm not going to judge on that. I don't think we have any good academy DM we can transition right now. Infact, the depleted state of our academies might be why the club is looking outward for prospects.

daveP:
Wait,you guys haven't watched the clip where Ramsdale was saying nonsense? That clip was before Raya situation. It must have triggered the Raya emergence. Many are saying same too.

Drop link abeg.

toluxe0075:
Let’s not deceive ourselves, Arteta is not setting up any competition. Arteta has been in this club for three years and it’s enough to know his moves. He has made his first choice decision and it’s Raya.

Unless, Raya messes up really bad, he will not change him.

Raya has always been his first choice even before we signed Ramsdale. I was not surprised with his 'bias' towards Raya.

villagereporter:
Seriously sir, age cheating is not peculiar to Africans, I couldn’t recollect vividly but one or two SAC was banned for two years for under 17 WC

Below is another 15-year old kid.
🤣🤣

But sir, you and I know jpajero has nothing to loose if we didn’t qualify for WC, yet are we going to fold our arms or stand akimbo and allow him ruin SE. I read somewhere, where senior members of SE are not happy with Uzohole still they can’t speak. Do you think majority of them are happy with Uzohole?

Then I want to ask, will jpajero still keep faith with somebody like Uzohole if he were d coach of his country national team

I get you bro but by allowing the NFF to be dictating for the coach, we stand to lose much more.

Danielnino00:
Good afternoon everyone. I appreciate you all for your time and patience so far, and apologies for not being able to meet up with the deadlines listed in the calendar.
So, based on responses received so far, here are the members of the nomination committee for the 2023 Nairaland Nigeria Football Fans Award:
1. Danielnino00
2. Icon4s
3. Thesupernerd
4. Charlesemeka85
5. Joebie
6. Andsungorilla

Given that the super eagles have a game tomorrow and next week, I think it's only right to wait until afterwards before we begin. The super falcons also have a game coming up toward the end of this month and early December, but the super falcons only have one category for the award, so we cant wait till then. However, if members of the committee wish to make modification to the categories, we can find a way around it.

In lieu of this, here is the new calendar:
November 22- November 27 2023- Selection of award categories by nomination committee
November 27- December 2nd 2023- Selection of players for each award category by nomination committee
December 4th - December 11th 2023- Official Voting of winners by all Nairalanders
December 15th 2023- Official announcement of winners

Thank you all

I thought the total number of committee members was supposed to be odd to facilitate better decision making.

We should drop the cash asap. We have never sign any Gabriel from Brazil that flops.

To think Komekn is an old member here and still brought politics into football discussion.


Now, ANTS are feeding on the SUGAR.


See you all in the next 5 pages

humility33:
This is where I really want the nff to act but unfortunately they don't care

They need call Pasiero to order and force him try other options in goal post. We can't continue like this that coach is a duns

abeg...they shouldn't try it. Yea, we have goalkeeping crisis but letting NFF in will bring bigger disaster.

komekn:
How many times have Nigerian players and African players been caught for age cheating ❓

Age cheating is a national and continental culture, because there is no automatic birth data capture. So you rely entirely on the integrity of the individual.

We are in a country with no INTEGRITY at the highest levels 🎚️. That's essentially stupidity.

We have kangaroo 🦘 court that ratified a criminal convict, certificate forgerer, money laundering, lD Thief who cannot remember the primary and secondary school he attended and nobody knows his age, as President of Nigeria 🇳🇬.

Early this year I was in Lagos at a U14 international football ⚽ tournament PSG was in that tournament. The PSG back three defenders were all over 6ft and built like boxers. They were all born in Paris and of Senegalese and Mali descent one of the tallest tribes in 🌍.

We created the widespread reckless age cheating and that means precedent. Thankfully that has been reduced dramatically by MRI scans to a reasonable level.

All you typed here are unnecessary shalayes. What concerns Nigeria with the overaged players posted above? We are telling you age cheating is not limited to Africa alone, you're writing epistles.

BTW, the little political stuffs was unnecessary.

Spy360:
It's not poor man management, it's simply a man management style. Ramsdale messed up last season because he had a weak competition. What Arteta wants to achieve is to make both goalkeepers compete for shirt. As it stands now, Raya is winning the battle, not on the pitch but in Ramsdale's head. Instead of the brat to focus on the competition, and wait for an opportunity, he is whining like a spoit child with his 'I am an indegene' stupid mentality.

Arteta wants Raya to keep Ramsdale on his toes and vice versa. There will be no free ride for anyone. The first choice will enjoy the choice games. As it stands now, we are out of the Carabao, that's a set back for Ramsdale. If he leaves, we will still get another even more solid goalkeeper.

Gbam! You made a nice point.


But the issue is Raya is not doing anything tangible to keep Ramsdale on his toes. He also is conceding useless goals.


We all praised Arteta for being ruthless when he benched Ramsdale but he needs to be ruthless too when dealing with Raya.

iamoyindamola:
Doesn't work that way when you have 2 top class keepers

Well...that's is business. Make Dem sha win match na my own.


But Ramsdale's father was wrong to say that to the media.

BlueRayDick:
Arteta caused it with his poor man management jare. He should at least let Ramsdale keep in UCL matches if it's Raya he prefers for EPL.

It makes no sense denying a player who was part of ur success story chance to even enjoy playing at the top level; it's unfair relegating him to Carabao cup just like that. Even if u want to ease him out of the club , u should go about it with sense.

I am not happy with how he handles the situation but the first choice GK is always used for both EPL and UCL. Changing goalkeeper frequently will upset the balance of the backline. We might get to see Ramsdale in MD6 of the UCL though.

villagereporter:
Your job is to play! ex-Aston Villa manager slams Chelsea legend Mikel Obi for recent comments.


Saw this from pulse sport. Seriously Mikel need to be told that nobody is dragging any issues or chieftaincy titles with him so he should slow down.

Wetin concern the manager? Gboranmideleru


BTW Mikel is unlikely to drag anything with anybody. He is one of the humble players I've ever known. There is an Igbo adage that says, 'A lizard that jumps down from tall iroko tree said he would praise himself if nobody does'. Nothing wrong in Mikel commending himself.

Joebie:
I'm hoping Amas gets a chance and keeps that position.

One of the cooks should help us put plenty pepper inside Uzoho's soup.


Abeg na joke o

Kog45:
Just check the Brazilian U17 boys if na naija na to Dey shout overage

Elder Kog, this guy below is a French defender and he is supposed to be 16 years old. From reports, he plays with experience that exceeds his age. And one man here go come here dey shout automatic data capture.

Cecco90:
It's reported that the security of the Uyo Stadium delayed Amas Obasogie at the gate because they didn't recognize him. So embarrassing.

I know it is embarrassing but then who go blame them. He is probably the least popular in that team and the security people may not be fans of NPFL. I would still blame NFF.

iamoyindamola:
Arteta and man management is very poor
Which is why I always say he's arrogant and self centered
I thought ramsdale will be keeping UCL but he's not seeing games at all
On merit Raya and kai should not be in the starting lineup for now

To be honest, The first choice goalkeeper has always been used for both EPL and UCL.


The second choice always restricted to EFL and FA cup.

BlueRayDick:
Shey Arteta never start wahala with the way he’s handled Ramsdale-Raya matter thus far ?

This man should STFU. Shey Raya no get Papa ni? He shouldn't cause any feud among the players abeg

Martinelli, White, Jorginho - Arsenal injury news and return dates following Burnley victory

Arsenal have a number of injury worries going into the international break. The north London outfit defeated Burnley 3-1 last weekend thanks to goals from Leandro Trossard, William Saliba and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

But they were without first-choice right-back Ben White against the Clarets, with the England international becoming the latest Gunners star to be added to a lengthy injury list. Martin Odegaard, Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus, Emile Smith Rowe and Jurrien Timber have also been sidelined recently, although the two-week break in club action will of course give some of those time to recover ahead of the clash against Brentford later this month.

Jorginho
Jorginho was on the receiving end of some daring challenges on Saturday. As a precaution, he was taken off to get his cuts and bruises patched up.

Injury: Leg

Expected return date: Brentford (A) - November 25

What Arteta has said: "He had a few bad cuts I think so they could not sort it out on the pitch so they decided to take him out. Hopefully he is fine. I think he was really good again today, the way this guy is competing, coaching and supporting the team in every way, I am really happy with him."

Gabriel Martinelli
Martinelli appeared to be clutching his right hamstring when he was substituted at the end of Arsenal's win over Burnley. The severity of his potential muscle issue remains to be seen.

Injury: Hamstring

Expected return date: Brentford (A) - November 25

What Arteta has said: N/A

Ben White
White has been carrying a knock recently and was omitted from the matchday squad to face Burnley.

Injury: Unknown

Expected return date: Brentford (A) - November 25

What Arteta has said: "Yesterday in training he wasn’t comfortable. He didn’t look right. But Ben won’t give you much. He always wants to be on the pitch and he wants to hide anything that is in there.

"But we highlighted something happening there that we noticed in the last two weeks as well. We wanted to protect him today. It was the right call from the physios and the medical department and tomorrow we will assess him and understand what’s happening."

Takehiro Tomiyasu
Tomiyasu had an issue with his eye-lenses during Arsenal's win over Burnley. He seems fine though.

Injury: Eye

Expected return date: Brentford (A) - November 25

What Arteta has said: "Only his eye, his lens, he had a problem with his lens but the rest he was top, a very good performance."

Thomas Partey
Partey has undergone a 'procedure' which is set to keep him out for the remainder of the year, football.london understands.

Injury: Thigh

Expected return date: N/A

What Arteta has said: "He’s got a muscle injury and we expect him to be out for a few weeks. We don’t know the extent of it still, he has more tests today. He got that injury in training, with the last kick of the ball. Very unfortunate. He’s got another appointment today (Tuesday) and we will see more after that."

Martin Odegaard
Odegaard has been nursing an injury recently and Arteta will hope that the Norwegian can return to action after the international break.

Injury: Unknown

What Arteta has said: "I don't know. I am going to have a meeting now with the medical department and Edu to understand everyone's situation but I think he is going to be back after the international break. I don't know exactly what is the decision and the communication at the moment."

Expected return date: Brentford (A) - November 25

Emile Smith Rowe
Smith Rowe has been unlucky with injuries again this season, this time nursing a knee issue. He was also omitted from the matchday squad to face the Clarets last weekend.

Injury: Knee

Expected return date: N/A

What Arteta has said: "We have an issue with him. He felt something in his knee and started to feel some pain after the game - we are assessing him, but [it’s] a big worry with him. He's going to be out for weeks."

Gabriel Jesus
Gabriel Jesus was excellent against Sevilla in the Champions League, netting a goal and providing an assist but there was an injury worry when he pulled up clutching his hamstring late on in the game. With ten minutes to spare he was replaced by Eddie Nketiah.

Injury: Hamstring

Expected return date: Brentford (A) - November 25

What Arteta has said: "Gabby won’t be fit, with Martin it is still uncertain, the rest no news so far."

Jurrien Timber
Timber has recently undergone successful surgery, football.london understands, and he's now in the 'recovery phase' of his rehabilitation. The Dutchman has been sorely missed, especially with the club failing to find a suitable replacement in the summer transfer window.

Injury: ACL

Expected return date : Early 2024

What Arteta has said: "Huge blow. Especially for him after just joining the club. To have the injury he has is a huge blow. It is for the team because we recruited him with clear intentions and what he was bringing to the team was evident and he’s not going to be able to do it this season for us. We have to adapt. These things happen unfortunately and we have to move on."
