let's be factual..

Bruno had his hand on his body..
. Gabriel hands was up in the air .

. talking about checks . When Gabriel pulled osula down when he almost got away from him, who did ref blow against 😏😏😏

I don agree with you boss, VAR assisted Arsenal today.

Silentgroper:
Which handball .. 😏😏😏


Did you not see after many replays there was no contact.. if there was, it would have impacted the ball ..
.
It's basic physics..

Exactly! Our own too na basic Chemistry.

Let's die the matter here then.

Silentgroper:
How far cheat you ..


How arteta knew the fourth official was going to give 8min extra time needs to be investigated . I've been watching those two connive all through the match.. This matches setup to make arsenal win hence the disallowed clear penalty..

See Liverpool fan complaining about extra time...

Are you saying the frequent VAR checks and that injury to Livramento didn't warrant 8 minutes. If a coach asked an assistant referee how many minutes is the added time, what's wrong in that?

BTW Arteta na defensive coach bla bla bla
There was a time we're playing 2-1-7 in the second half

daveP:
You sef see all his checks. When Saliba pull shirt he call. When Joelinton pull shirt e no blow. Over 11 shirt pulls by Newcastle and na Dan Burn own he finally give yellow for. 😂😂
That Calafiori incident is not even a yellow. Just a freekick. Yet when they push Gyokores again inside box, he wave play on. No check. 😂😂

See the way Lascelles chook fingers inside Gyokeres eyes.. He didn't see that one.
That Oga wey dey wail up top, ask him about Salah's handball yesterday wey Chiesa take use score.

daveP:
Lol. Abeg abeg. Aspa same var no cheat us for this game?

You get time bro.
The weyrey ref was doing everything to win it for Newcastle. He paused play to review that scramble (before the long throw in) towards the end of the match, he even paused play to review Gabi's handball. But when ball hit Bruno for hand, Baba no gree pause play. Shame on him abeg

I hope the Kroenke or whoever do something about this ref issue. Somebody need to do something. This is getting ridiculous. Even if na petition for Gizzard or whatever his name is not to officiate our game, it's still better.

MSGAMBLE9:
Subbing Saka is unforgivable


Merino ooooikkk.... let's go

Nah bro
Madueke is out and Saka is just returning from a long lay off. The sub make sense considering na th.u.gs we dey play

daveP:
i wish they can see the effort made to foul Saka and give him passes that will make them commit closer or inside their box. They just no wan get sense. Rice needs to shoot abeg. No be everytime he go pass to Trossard.

You think Ref go give us penalty?

Gillet na Liverpool fan and na why he no dey officiate their match... Not completely sure though

daveP:
Joelinton just wan injure Saka. And why is the ref ignoring all the shirt pulls on Eze? Gabu was foolish for that push abeg. That's softer than the last one that gave Newcastle a win that year. Guy is rugged and should not be doing that abeg. Haba... That was a pk for Gyokores. Make they continue sha. We sha winning this one

Na wetin dey vex me pass. I hope one way or the other, he gets a long layoff. At least players would be safe while playing Newcastle.

They didn't even review the foul

mostob:
I always dread any Arsenal game against Newcastle and it's not about results. Those guys are too rough. They play without compassion.

Arsenal fan aside, I don't just like seeing players injured so when I see players deliberately kicking another player in an hostile manner, I somewhat get angry.

Hopefully our players come out with a victory and unscathed today

See Joelington ffs... A wicked being

The role Chuks is playing is exactly what I want for him and probably what Chelle tries to execute. A right winger but with a freedom to roam.

E get, the videographer never drop am yet tho. He still dey work on the edits.

Ok now

Xhaka is cooking!

Complete it if you understand the context 🤣

Ray Parlour's funny story about Kolo Toure’s trial at Arsenal in 2002 🤣

🗣️ "He came into training one day, what he used to do for trialists is set up games. Usually, if it was a centre forward he would put Martin Keown on him as he knew he would try and kick him and whatever, and if he could handle that he might be a decent player.

This one day they had Kolo Toure, and Martin Keown was in his first first training session. Against them, they had Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp.

I rolled the ball into Thierry Henry and Kolo Toure from nowhere has smashed him from behind. Two-footed tackle. Terrible tackle. Seriously, could have been a red card in a normal game. Our best player is rolling around.

Arsene Wenger says ‘Kolo, what are you doing? Don’t tackle, don’t tackle.’ He just wants him to stand there. ‘Oh, sorry, sorry’.

The next minute ball goes into Dennis Bergkamp, they’ve swapped now. Kolo Toure does exactly the same and two-foot Dennis Bergkamp and we are thinking ‘This is unbelievable. How can we win the league if our two best players has been taken out by the trialist? He must be working for someone else’.

Arsene Wenger says ‘Right no more tackling’.

Next ball comes in and Kolo Toure makes a great tackle, reads it, and the ball is flipped up into the air. Arsene Wenger used to stand right in the middle of the midfield and forwards and he’d try and look at the movement, so the ball has gone up in the air and Kolo Toure has his eye on the ball - he’s chasing the ball - and where did it land? Right at Arsene Wenger’s foot and he’s two-footed Arsene Wenger. Proper tackle.

All you heard was ‘ahhhh’. The lads are like ‘This is unbelievable. He’s took out Bergkamp, Henry, and Wenger on his trial.

Wenger has had to limp off. He’s gone back to the medical room. Kolo Toure is like ‘Oh no’ and nearly crying. He can’t believe it. It’s his big day at Arsenal and he’s taken out two of our best players and the manager.

That afternoon, I remember going into the medical room to see Gary Lewin about something and Arsene Wenger was sitting there with a big ice pack on his ankle.

He said ‘I know he didn’t mean it, I like his desire. We’ll sign him tomorrow’ and that was it.

We signed him for £150,000 because he liked his desire. He could get that out of him and change the way he played just by his desire kicking them two players and he ended up being an amazing player for Arsenal."

Shegzdave:

Shegzdave:
Happy Birthday to Me and My Boy Lewis Skelly

Happy birthday bro.. Many happy returns

I know Martinelli has come under criticism recently but we need to understand the player himself before we can come to conclusion whether to call him out or not.

His last two goals should be a clear message to tacticos out there. Martinelli is not a touchline winger (something Arteta asked him to play) He thrives on spaces. Few minutes after his goal today, he attacked a space but Eze couldn't really connect.
Martinelli under Flick or Klopp will cook. Those two coaches do not really emphasize on touchline nonsense. Arteta needs to realize this.

chrisooblog:
Don't mind Apari. Thought he could satanic ball his way to 3 points on a holy day for that matter.

Hmm is it too early to put Gyokeres on fraud watch?

Happy with the draw against a determined and professional City side.

I'm not happy with the draw neither was I happy with the loss against Liverpool. You suffered to build a good squad and now you're holding them back. Arteta is too scared. He lacks cojones.

As for Gyokeres, his 3 goals is still giving him some sort of grace. But then, there's nothing you can do when you have 3 DMs playing behind you. He just needs to exert himself more.

MSGAMBLE9:
We get awa 3 DMs again 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣......

Arsenal XI vs. Manchester City: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Zubimendi, Rice, Merino; Madueke, Trossard, Gyökeres.

Arsenal subs: Kepa, Mosquera, White, Saka, Eze, Martinelli, Norgaard, Nwaneri, Lewis-Skelly. ✅


Na Baba God hand e dey now ....

Somebody gotta bring Arteta down here make dem run am things. He is too scared and cautious. We already have one of the best defence, just fix the attack... Baba don choose muscle of creativity.

Captain Fantastic!!!

Hincapie is not with the squad. Arsenal fans don dey panic say na injury forgetting that Saka and Saliba have taken available spots on MD squad.

We're not used to this

Saka is with the team

Now it make sense allowing Dowman to play for U21s yesterday

dominique:
Newcastle does not have a bitter rivalry with Arsenal like man city. They're coming to avenge the 5-1 disgraceast year and they're all out for blood. Arteta probably playing the small boy in that type of match could be risky. Also there's a possibility that Saka might play in the match

I don't really see a big deal here. I was even scared to see him come in against Newcastle because those people are too rough. The Dowman I know is unfazed. Saka is out of today's game. Anyway, let the coach make his decisions

Eze comes in for Merino with Rice and Zubimendi as double pivot.

I feel Mosquera should retain his place... Gabriel will handle Haaland. But if Saliba starts, It's all good.

Trossard get the nod for me at LW
