I know we're all fixated about our national team coaches appointment but the medical personnels of these teams need to be reviewed. We're risking these players health if 'quacks' are the one in charge.

I watched a short clip of Janet twisting her ankle yesterday and shame wear me beret. Two clueless supposedly medics couldn't and didn't do anything to relieve that girl of the pain. They're just standing beside her and beckoning for stretcher. I was not surprised though. Wetin you expect when two 'dokitas' are wearing track suits inside the hot sun.

TheSuperNerd:
It's funny how that post you tagged him to quoted both Ife Ibrahim who recently made his senior arsenal debut and ofcos Josh Ogunnaike. 😂😂

That post was even more about Mubarak who shone playing against those two yet I casually name dropped the 2 lads. Lol

BlueRayDick:
I thought I was the only one that was alarmed at how openly biased the commentator was in his commentary yesterday .

At some point he even mentioned the possibility of Sunderland coming back from 2 goals down against us .

All of dem sweet me. 😀😀😀

Just millimetres from the net. All for enter.

Martinelli don dey do this thing for like 3 or 4 times now. Don't be surprised to see him make it his celebration. His bromance with Gyokeres allowed him to be selfless and pass the ball instead of trying to shot. I think against leeds or was it after Chelsea first leg, there was a video of him leaning and resting of Gyokeres after the match while the later patted his back.

Some of them deserved to be in the 2025 U20 set but Aliyu Zubairu had other ideas.

Man Utd's Michael Carrick on his way to making it 4 wins in a row. Something Ruben Amorim never did.

Ruben is a fine tactician and coach but his problem was how stubbornly set in his ways, he was. He was not willing to adapt tactically to change things for the better. Unlike Carrick, Amorim chose to keep repeating a system that just was not working.

The lesson: One may be a good coach/tactician but if you are not adaptable enough to adjust tactics to the strengths of your team profile, then you limit your growth as a coach.

TheSuperNerd:
The rules were adjusted at the start of season to allow players to appear for more than one club in the League (Carabao) Cup competition if the said player(s)' transfer was before the semi-final 1st leg.

Semi 1st leg of Carabao was Jan 14, 2026.

Semenyo arrived Jan 9 (before Semis 1st leg so Eligible).

Guehi arrived Jan 19 (5 days after the semis 1st leg so ineligible).

Finito.

Imagine playing at Owerri on Thursday and playing at Maiduguri on Monday.

Kun Khalifa wrote thrice to NPFL to demand reschedule but NPFL didn't reply.

In the end, they couldn't make it to the match and their opponent was awarded 3 goals and 3 points. Not only that, Kun Khalifa were fines a sum of 10 million.

Bad news for Arsenal

BlueRayDick:
But Chelsea fans really gas themselves up Sha yesterday. They had a free kick in front of our box and all their fans brought out their fans thinking tbey would capture the ball ending at the back of our net 😂😂😂

The ball no even pass wall and they were looking for PK wey no lost

Fkforyou:
I felt for him during the celebration, he was breathing heavily on the dashboard. Man ran his lungs out despite the fact that it was the 96th minute.

Kudos to Martinelli too. That last minute run took a whole lot from them.

By the way, why Odegaard no play today? Hope no be Injury?

BlueRayDick:
I have noticed that we do well if we play on Saturday and our closest rival (Man city this year and Loserpool last year) plays on Sunday. We do better when we don't play under pressure of "must win" because our closest rival dropped point yesterday.

If u notice well, u will see most of the matches we've dropped point to increase the gap at the top this season, they have mostly been matches City has played earlier and have gotten either a draw or loss.

I think because of the desire to prove doubters wrong and all, we become nervous in matches that we should easily win and the pressure gets to not just the players but the coaching crew making us to carve under weight of the pressure.

However, I have a strong believe that this year will be different. Something tells me that once we win something tangible this year, we would actually dominate the league for a long time. We just need to keep pushing and win something this season. Seeing players like Rice , Saliba,etc being vocal about their desire for the team to win something this season gives a very high level of confidence.

Hopefully we win Sunderland on Saturday and pass the pressure back to City to battle it out with Loserpool on Sunday and let's see where that leaves us.
