Roland17:
I just watched your scamming bottler drop points again. He is now winless in 5 games. He has gathered a measly 2 point out of a possible 15 while conceding 9 goals. If not that the rest of the teams below them are useless, he should be bottom of the table.

You said the rest of the team below them are useless? That's not something you could say about NWSL, it's a league of equals unlike European leagues... His best players ( Dali, Cascarino) are out of form which isn't unique in the league ( early birds like Pride, Portland are also struggling since the restart)... NWSL is a league of equals with hill and valley not top 2/4 or tier leagues in Europe ...

He will come good in the playoff ....

Silentgroper:
And by the way justifying his need for spending ...

Rather more spending of he's going to be better than his near peers

Silentgroper:
Tah !!

He is only hitting back at critics with those words ...

.ya'll usually say he won the league cause he spent lots of money..

Critics, Media and Opponents are all his targets... He's basically saying City are not the only money bags, kind of making excuses for his team recent struggles

Pain landing in Pep's Corner...

Pep Guardiola on Arsenal's spending:

"Only I want to say to my friend, Mikel Arteta, if he wins the [Premier League] title it will JUST be because of spending, not because he worked a lot.

"Like Liverpool! If Arne [Slot] wins [the title] again, it will be because he spent a lot of money, right? Because it’s not just Man City that that's happened right? So, all of them [do it].

"Listen, for many, many years, every club can do whatever they want! I know how we've been treated is completely different, but what they want to spend is because they want it, and it’s fine! Then the only thing I can say is they've been wise, spent what they believe they can do, to compete against the best in the Premier League, in Europe..."

Very UWCL tough draw for the Ladies..

Lyon, Bayern and Real

What do you expect from America investors

They are populating the Board with their "Yes Men" from their previous Life whether they had any experience in the game doesn't matter to them e.g. Law, entertainment and business people


This is how United start losing it

They are turning Arsenal into Family Club

𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗱 𝗢𝗿𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻: Tim Lewis is set to leave his position as executive vice-chair of Arsenal in a significant shake-up of the club's board.

Corporate lawyer Lewis, 62, has advised Arsenal’s ownership group Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE) since 2007 but became a director of the Premier League club in September 2020 and was then promoted in March 2023.

Lewis has long been associated with Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke, 78, with his shock exit from the role representing a dramatic change in Arsenal’s leadership structure.

Josh Kroenke, 45, has played an increasingly prominent role at the club in recent years and will continue to do so, while managing director Richard Garlick is now set to become CEO.

There will also be further additions made to the board with two more KSE representatives to bring the family closer to the club as well as a long-term advisor and Ben Winston, the film producer and director and Arsenal season-ticket holder, joining.

This man should not be unfortunate to start 3 DMs against city if not martinelli should start and Eze play AM
Tired of this stupid tactics that's not working yet he's forcing it

Win or not am disappointed, there was a time Eze drifted inward and Artete was barking at him to come back to the touchline... He's rigid AF, the team suffers offensively whenever Rice and Merino are paired e.g. Liverpool ( both this and last season) and Bournemouth game where Saliba got red comes to mind...

Try that v City, God help them....

Starting XI for Bilbao...

3 DMs again


Whatever Ethan's crime is

iamoyindamola:
42 adding yesterday's

My bad, I seriously undersells him 😒😳...

Greatness...

Andor' Season 2 won a total of Five Emmys, including Best Editing, Best Visual Effects, Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, and Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series, out of 14 nominations...

Congratulations to Raya for his 100 🧢 💯...

41 Clean Sheets in 100 Games is simply Amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥....

Roland17:
I love the depth and both players have impressed. It is a good problem to have for most coaches.

Knowing Hincapie still dey there is quite biting... Mosquera looks beyond his years shocking Athletico Boss never noticed him with their defensive issues last term...

daveP:
I dunno what the advantage is right now of Merino in midfield other than he is familiar with Zubi😂

I hope Ethan gets his counter moments cos this team get am well for body but we dey kill am ourselves with little resistance. Looks like Zubi will score more than his career total at Arsenal this season at this rate.
Im happy we did this without the presence of some key regulars. This is the beauty of Squad depth. Better selection headache than tactical headache

Imagine last season with Saka and Saliba looking and Ode going down; leaving the pitch... Panic attack for don kee person

For Ethan, it will come with more game time and Merino is a very good player alas just too slow for EPL

Roland17:
Starboy and Saliba watching..

Both will have their hands full in near future with Madueke ( who has been best player on the pitch today) and Mosquera 🌝🌝

daveP:
Nwaneri flourishes better with counter attack football. He and Merino is a nono in Midfield. Individually, both are doing ok with Zubi, except to each other. 😹🤦🏽‍♂️

You are right, Ethan can get lost sometimes especially if middle is crowded and Merino na "Agba ghoster" for midfield... His man has shifted him (Merino) go front

Roland17:
Now that’s what we are talking about!

Wonderful!

Viktor 2-0

He missed one from Eze late in 1st half.buh not again he says....

mostob:
The last person to attempt this kind of shot was Thomas Partey against spurs but he didn't score it. The ball hit the post.

Omo, the way I stood up as the ball entered the net eh... He attempted another one few seconds later and omo..I shouted

BTW the players need to get up to speed with Zubimendi. He's a risk taker that doesn't dilly dally on the ball. Our players are too cautious especially that low budget Zinedine Zidane.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.... Our passing has been very slow today

Roland17:
Omo we need to improve the fan engagement during games. See as e quiet like graveyard..

Our fans are not best in the EPL, most are Big Men who can't chants probably due to North London being high end area.... The female side are very passionate and deafening during games like Anfield fans...

They are sitting on one goal lead again ceding territories to NF after scoring they should be more proactive in the 2nd half... Very snail_like passing movements are not helping create chances, they should speed it up

Eze, Mosquera, Ode and Merino starting... Rice on the bench

Merino

twosquare:
Really love the season finale...most people missed it thinking it was Magnifico...good closure with the pyschopathic Empire. 🔥 🔥

it's seems to be getting better every season...

The dream lives on 🔥 🔥 🔥

Foundation will return for a fourth season...

The Season 3 finale of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is here 🔥🔥🔥....


"New World, New Civilization"....

Roland17:
Yea. Looks like everyone who went on break came back just fine.

I saw pictures of White and Noorgard in training today, unsure if they will be available on Saturday.

I they are but both might not start on Saturday... Who will you prefer between Hincapie and Mosquera for Forest?...

Roland17:
I already did. He has had a strong start to the season. A well deserved nomination.

He has tried, happy Gatusso sit him out of last match v Israel 👍 💯💯.... Person wey we manage

Back at work and on turf 🔥🔥🔥....

Guys vote Big Calafiori for Premier League Player of the Month... Today is the final day of Voting...

Tuchel, nothing must happen to our investments o

4 Gunners while Rice will never get the needed rest

iamoyindamola:
Same here
If we play the way we did in the first 20 minutes
City, Chelsea and man utd will tear us apart

They didn't start well for like 25 mins not like they were bad_bad buh LCL were more aggressive in play... Chelsea are ruthless, City yes if healthy, very wasteful & unfortunate to lose yesterday ( their curses returned yesterday), I don't really rate United...

mostob:
You do know he only had one training session before the Liverpool game right?

Even if Odegaard had limped off on Sunday, Norway will still play him today. That's how they got him injured last year.

Granted he's currently leading the Assist table in Europe qualifier...

iamoyindamola:
As in🤣🤣🤣
Short passes can be so hard for these women
Sometimes I just switch away from the match

. You are not as invested, I watched for the drama... these days I find Mens football tiring too, they can hardly string 10 passes together without the ref blows a foul...

Anyway good day in office for them even though I still have my reservations about this year team...

Merino Masterclass yesterday, looking like he's just too slow for EPL...
