Omo.. We need to attack this people. That's how we put them off. Arteta do something!!!! Abeg...

We need runners. All these balls we're winning in our half are wasting. Let's just see off this half. Brock Lesnar, Noni and Martinelli dey bench

Kilishihunter:
Is timber fit enough for the second half?

Definitely. He took part in the behind closed door friendly.

Odegaard dey craze? Nobody dey front, shoot the damn ball!!!

germaphobe:
Kai and Saka needs to have their best game today and deliver us the trophy.

Personally, there's nothing I would love than Kai, Saka or Martinelli giving us the winning goal.

I don't care who score as long as we win. Even if na one ugly own goal.

They just played this in the fan park to send us off to the stadium

yinkeys:
Strange Henderson made England World Cup list & Palmer didn’t
No X factor in that midfield of theirs

Oga abeg carry this one go their thread. If possible, stay put at Super Eagles thread.

Spy360:
My pick for starting line up today


Eze................... Havertz............. Saka
............. Merino........... Odegaard......
........................... Rice....,......................
Hincapie.. Gabriel.. Saliba... Timber
,.......................... Raya .........................

Subs/options
Trossard for Eze, Calafiori for Hincapie, Gyokeres for Havertz, Zubimendi for Merino

Eze and Merino on the left will be expressway for PSG. Still torn between Martinelli and Trossard.

Everybody is locked in

Wetin be this na

Bro, Ozil never said he had an issue with Mikel. In all of his interviews there has never been a case where he said anything about Mikel. Ozil's issue with the team started after his post about the Muslims in China and the Chinese fans started burning Arsenal shirts and cancelling us. The club distanced themselves from the issue because China was our biggest Asian country. Ozil was playing regularly and getting his form back till that happened and he stopped playing, and from there the issue skyrocketed to that of him paying the fees of the mascot after Arsenal cut off his payment during covid. So brother, I am 100% sure that Arteta had nothing to do with Ozil be ostracised.

Auba was given a timeline to come back and he overstayed, and to make matters worse, a picture of him getting a tattoo when he was meant to be back went public. And it wasn't just that one scenario, aura has been coming late to trainings and other discipline issues.

I seriously don't know why you want to blame Arteta for these two specifically, cus I know what I said up there is exactly what played out. I think i am Ozil's biggest fan, so when I tell you it had nothing to do with Mikel, believe me bro.

Edu and Arteta were in the office debating about how to reintegrate Auba into the team only for someone to barge in and tell them Auba was spotted at Barcelona. Lol

daveP:
The corner go too sweet if all dey true true. My own na how coachie wan do the starting xi now that merino is back? I know Timber and Cala go start. Odegaard and Trossard go start too. The rest i dunno. He fit wan start Merino join or Kai.


The doubling up style that Enrique used successfully against Bayern, Arteta go definitely work to counter it. That means runners with defensive contribution will start. Two blue each on fullbacks na hin style. Means forwards have to track back. But with Brock powering vs those CBs, card and fouls won up high go plenty. That's enough to disrupt rhythm for Enrique.

Timber may not start due to his recent return. Zubimendi or Mosquera might start at RB with Timber coming in later. Arteta might go with Odegaard due to pressing ability as Eze can sometimes be casual. Hincapie vs Calafiori depends on what Arteta intends to do from the get go. I really wish Havertz can start but mehn..

Shegzdave:
I’ll guess Cuntha

Estevao 😂😂😂😂😂

Off Topic

Just leave banter for Nigerian fans.
Guess who is Yinka Alaseyori 😂😂

opes:
Osimhen in Madrid will be too sweet..

Omo.. Their dressing room go too hot. Just imagine Osimehn shouting on Vini for not passing on time. 😂😂😂

Shegzdave:
Check this out🥵

They said it's fake sha... Our third kit na yellow.

daveP:
Their CBs enjoyed heavily the last time we met last season. This time, they go pass through wetin those Atletico Madrid CBs pass through.

These guys have been in Budapest since na. Why dem dey post today? 😆

My Brock Lesnar. Make he show them pepper. Havertz should sit down somewhere with his yoriyori football.

Our corner kicks will be a big advantage. How i wish we can find a way to have Big Gabi, Merino and Havertz in the box at the same time

Josh Kroenke on the West Ham equaliser that got ruled out:

“I was on my hands and knees in my living room. I just kept saying to myself, ‘I thought he held his hand’. It was a moment where I think every Arsenal supporter worldwide held their breath.”

But when Max Dowman became the youngest Premier League goalscorer against Everton, the emotions were very different.

Josh: “We had just adopted a puppy. So when Max went on his run, I scared the hell out of the puppy by jumping up and yelling at the television. That dog peed on the floor right there next to me!”

When Arsenal beat Burnley 1-0, Kroenke was in the directors’ box. He flew back to the U.S. the next morning, landing just as Bournemouth scored against Manchester City to put Arsenal within touching distance of the title.

“My first phone call was to my dad, my second was to Mikel (Arteta). I figured he wouldn’t answer right away because he was probably doing exactly what I was doing at that moment, which was celebrating and crying with your loved ones. But a few minutes later, he called me back, and we had a great moment.”

Arsenal to the world... We no small 😂😂😂😂😂

Safe journey guys

Bring it home!!!!

dominique:
I'll pick Rogers. He's at the right age and versatile. As much as I would have loved that we sign Kroupi, i wouldn't want him to come and be a back-up player. He should be in a team where he'll be getting regular playing time so he can develop. My spirit no just gel with that Julian Alvarez.

West Ham's Matheus Fernandez has said he'll pick man Utd over Arsenal and other clubs interested in him. His countryman must have whispered some things in his ears, issoryt. I know we'll still get a solid Rice backup in the summer window

The three are great additions so anyone is OK.

With Fernandez going to Manchester United, Tonali's deal might be real. Heard we're pushing for Livramento as well. I won't mind one more defender if White is leaving though.

Morning Arsenal fans

The clubs is clear about any sellable players be it Jesus Fabio or anyone else. Pay up a “respectable” fee or Bleep off. Our sale strategy will be strong and hard-lined this summer, If im around post UCL I will explain it (& other transfer news)

RE Timber - He completed a full session and felt good yesterday which is the most important thing. Final session today before a decision is made on him, I trust the player and Mikel fully on whatever they decide. Wait on my update on this matter.

Also, I saw some nonsense about us not being locked in? I saw some PSG accounts deluding themselves into thinking we are in party mode? I assure you Arteta has this group on demon time. Arsenal have been training again since Tuesday.

Its business as usual and I also know they have been preparing for PSG for over 10 days or so now. We all know who the players wanted for the final… be humble but be confident. They fly out later today and continue preparations in Budapest with enough time.

To any Arsenal fans in Budapest, be safe.
God bless.

Lush100:
Barca buying Gordon from Newcastle for 69M GBP plus 3M add-on. I thot they said Barca no get money.
Na PR stunt.

Make we buy Julian Alvarez and Tonali.
Sell Gabriel Jesus Nwanweri White (depends ...will only sell to a top club).

I won't mind selling VG if we buy Julian Alvarez. Keep Kai Harvetz

Sell VG ke? No please.
Yea.. I like Julian Alvarez. I won't mind Morgan replacing Trossard too. I read Arsenal has set 20m as price for Gabriel. He has one more year on his contract. Anderson or Tonali for Norgaard. Jad we're in for that Livramento. I think Ben White might be leaving.

Morgan Rogers, Kroupi and Alvarez. I'm undecided here.

BTW, I hope there are families around Trossard. He looks so lonely.

MSGAMBLE9:
This is subjective in the sense that this his current side lacks any superstar, but judging with the way he treated Ozil and Auba; he seems to have issues with big players...

Whatever issues he had with Ozil and Auba had nothing to do with him. We all watched AON. Xhaka was even more hot headed yet both still got along.

Fkforyou:
Wait. I never see training pictures..o

Hope they are training hard because this Saturday we have scores to settle with PSG.

People wey play closed door friendly yesterday.

By now, you suppose don know Arteta.

Sharp!

Abeg when is the next match

When the Lord prepares a table for you in the presence of your enemy

BlueRayDick:
Well deserved!

His team was on top of the EPL table from game week 7 to game week 38. That's a whopping 31 game week on top with jeers from rival fans speculating and praying that you capitulate, lose the league and come second for the 4th year running.....but despite the up and downs he was able to keep the players going. Even when some of the players were exhausted, everyone just kept on going.

Arteta seem like a good man manager Sha beacuse tell me how he didn't use Lewis-Skelly all season and somehow when he called on him in the final games of the season the boy gave us his 100% without having a chip on his shoulder?

The whole celebration that followed the EPL win showed Arteta had a very cordial relationship with almost everybody on our team.

Well, MLS told Wright he has been undergoing drills in midfield just to prepare him for midfield duties. There's this FA cup match MLS was supposed to play in midfield but Calafiori got injured and MLS had to move to LB.

Arteta had a very cordial relationship indeed and the players feared and respected him. That night we won the league, he said he had to go home so that the players can have their moment because if he had been there, things would have been different.
