Something wey arteta don calculate. Even if they win by 3 goals and lose or draw to crystal palace man city would still pass them ,because it is 43- 43 on GD and if arsenal draw to palace it would remain the same. If they won here by 3 it would be 45 -43 but when mancity win both games (1 -0, 1-0)it would be 45-45 and man city would win by Goal for .
So arsenal the best is to play to secure the win and not to be looking for 4 goals and then cost us the lead

IF Mancity win their match tonight by a wide margin. Ots a problem for Ass...

UK that is Lagos extension....Wey men dey go dey come back

You people and mouth sha! Which kind visa una dey use go UK back and forth? For what purpose precisely?

helinues:
Arsenal winning this game convincingly will put more pressure on city with the goal difference specifically.

City have 3 matches within 10 days including Fa cup against Chelsea. They would have to consider the priority

Convincingly? Fulham has been intentionally poor..

That 1000 Naira still has more value in Nigeria than its USD or GBP equivalent.

How? Last november when i visited 9ja, a small bottle of yoghurt(mostly sugar) was 6k NGN. I am not sure anywhere in thw qorld can be that bad...

Indigbo:
This match has confirmed that Arsenal will win the league with the way City strugled to score two goals. City missed a trick to add to Goal difference. I'm confident that Arsenal will win the league

aUna don start again. Burnley played better thsn arsensl against city. Arsenal will likely loose or draw against newcastle

Openair:
If you look at the table well, City presently are 6 points behind with number of tough matches coming up. And like you said, these small teams are no easy feat for anybody. Villa needs European competition and Bournemouth are on a winning streak, so you see there's no how city won't drop points. Rosenoir's fear cost him this game. To me, City were not spectacular or special at all, Rosenoir was just incapable.

How can you say this? City has got real quality in that team. Conviniently,they have beaten Arsenal, liverpool and Chelsea in 3 consecutive matches.

Ha!! Isnt cat a pet? Who is the ownee of this cat? You ate cat? for real?

Wotowotoman:
Ogbeni, stop trying to shift the goal post so as to sound like you sabi maths. Who is talking about last October? Your comment was that 300k IS LESS than 200 dollars. Now you dey tell me about what it was 7 months ago cos you no sabi ordinary basic primary school maths. Can you swear say you never change dollar since then? Please try to go and brush up your elementary school maths asap cos this is very embarrassing

Alright sir.

Wotowotoman:
Abeg don’t ask me jamb question. The question is what maths did you do that told you that 300k is less than 200 dollars

The exchange rate is on the Nairaland homepage sef. Go and ask a primary school student to calculate it and I bet you, they will do it for you in less than 10 seconds

Well, exchange rate isnt fixed and also depends on what platform you are converting from. Last october, i still sold dollar at NGN1510. So you do the math...

Always on the move ... Sir are you a rolling stone and will those kids relocate with you when you are in late 60s or do you want to live all your lives there ? Don't you think if coming home ? Do you think those kids will come with you ? ...after USA what is the next stop...maybe from Montana to Florida always on the move isn't it ... Innit

When he is 60, wont his adult children decide what they do with their lives? You people blow this immigration thing out of proportion. In Nigeria, people change jobs and move from one city to the other. When they finally retire, they stopped being a "rolling stone". I have worked in Nigeria, UK, canada and now back to the UK. We have now decided to stay put in UK due to proxmity to home + family consideration. My husband still works in Nigeria and we plan that our first child go back to canada in 3yrs for his uni. Relocation is part of life. Home is Nigeria and one day, i will be back there permanently by God's grace.

IyaTola:
I get where you’re coming from, but that take feels a bit too dismissive—and if we’re being real, it doesn’t quite reflect what’s actually happening on the pitch.

First off, nobody serious in football is saying Arsenal are the best team in the world just because they beat Bayern Munich. That’s not how the game works. Big wins get headlines, yes—but that’s football culture, not “media hype gone mad.” If Bournemouth beat Arsenal, they’d get praise too. That’s the nature of upsets.

Now, calling Arsenal “average” is where the argument falls apart a bit. Average teams don’t consistently compete at the top end of the Premier League or go deep in the UEFA Champions League. Over the last couple of seasons, Arsenal have shown structure, identity, and progression under Mikel Arteta. That’s not hype—that’s development.

Also, the idea that “most people hate Arsenal because of media hype” feels a bit off. Arsenal have always been a big club with a global fanbase. With that comes attention—good and bad. Rival fans don’t dislike Arsenal because Sky Sports said something; they dislike them because they’re relevant again. That’s football rivalry, not media brainwashing.

If anything, the conversation around Arsenal has been more about whether they can sustain their level and actually win major trophies—not blindly crowning them.

So yeah, are Arsenal perfect? No. Are they average? Not even close. They’re a very good team still trying to prove they can be a great one—and that’s a much more accurate way to frame it.

I kinda agree with you. If Arsenal have their best players fit, they are a good team. The media hype about their squad depth is flattering. So many average players in that squad...

Wotowotoman:
What math did you do that told you that 300k is less than 200 dollars? No lie, you pass maths for WAEC? 🤔

How much is 200 USD?

Sccarrr:
didn't we beat Bayern? Btw ,we beat psg last season, we will beat them again..

PSG beat you home and away and that was even with you best players in form.

Sccarrr:
Arsenal is trying to win the league and the champions league, Arsenal is not trying to beat united.... United can shift, we are not on the same level currently, they should goan beat wolves or something....we are currently in competition with European bests in the UCl, and battling one of the best team ever in English football in the Epl....not mediocre united

Imagine you played PSG or barcelona today. This pretence will end in 2 weeks. Just watch..

Alapereketu:
the EPL title is between arsenal, Manchester city and Manchester United

I understand you. Arsenal and City but the former is just a pretender. Chances they will win the league is very low.

Sccarrr:
lol, you're a clown....we should forget table and put teams struggling and not even competing for anything ahead of league leader, all the disrespect go end by the end of the season when shame catch u all🤫

What is arsenal competing for? Are you refeering to united and liverpool? Those two will flog arsenal if they meet. Arsenal are really terrible at the moment. If not for the lucky wom againt lisbon, it could have been 5 loss in a row. On present form, Arsenal can not beat united. They can try with liverpool tho...

Alapereketu:
is 300k peanut salary

entry level even pay more than 300k now in that industry....300k NGN is less than 250USD. Thats no longer peanut but ridiculous..

lightwind:
Yeah why

where else have you lived?

akingangan:
Several Nigerians that Japa have died in the UK if not in the hundreds. Someone should research this.

Many are in mental institutions.

Many are struggling and living rough

UK is no joke.

The country is exploitative, and it is good that people are becoming more aware.

Nigeria is worse. While working in a commercial bank in Nigeria, i knew a lot of mid -level staff living in the suburb of lagos and working on the island. They leave their homes before 5am to start a job of 8am cus of traffic.Then going back home after COB of 5pm, they eithier wait till around 9pm to leave the office cus of traffic or just spend 3 or 4hrs in traffic. This is for a mon- friday job on a peanut salary. I am not sure of any situation in uk that is worse than that.

Sccarrr:
and united, Chelsea, Liverpool that bought worldclass players....where are they ?😹

Forget table.. presently, Mancity>Man united>liverpool>or=Arsenal>chelsea.

geoworldedu:
Chelsea has always gone into hibernation, only to pick form in a season and win something. Chelsea has been struggling since year 2020. We raised our ugly head and collected UCL 2021, Club world cup and Super Cup 2022.. We struggled again till 2025 and raised our ugly head again hijacked Conference league and CLUB WORLD CUP. It will shock you that before 2028 we will raise our ugly head again and collect another Champions league and probably a new tournament that they will create, because now that we have won all tournaments possible to play in, they will try to create another one. But Arsenal is still looking for just one of them

Arsenal is not a big team, we know. They are just pretenders but chelsea is not even close to them presently. Chelsea is a joke..

Sccarrr:
so Arsenal is not bad like you painted then, they only lack funds

The little fund they had, they have used to buy average players here and there to form a big squad of average players. They did not learn fro chelsea. Instead, they bought one of their not too intelligent players.

geoworldedu:
Go and make it irrelevant na. As you are the FIFA President

Small boy talk. That tournament is just a prep for a new season. When was the last time chelsea beat Arsenal? Team wey southampton and bournemouth don beat. Chelsea is no longer a big team..

Sccarrr:
so if Mancity win the league again, it's only cause they were able to spend and reinforce in January and Arsenal couldn't match the spending......so how is Arsenal a bad team ?

No one has said Arsenal is a bad team. You cant give what you do not have. They are average and that just the point. Most people hate Arsenal just because of the media hype. Imagine the media saying they are best in the world having beaten bayern. Imagine saying bornemouth is the best team in england just because they beat arsenal.

geoworldedu:
Completely washed but became the world champion just last year till 2029. What can beat that?

World champion? How? Dont tell me you are reffering to them winning that irrelevant world club cup.

press9jatv:
I don't know why Arteta keep on playing Havertz? Arteta is wicked. He just want to frustrate Arsenal fans

But he brought Eze in before 60mins. What changed?

Sccarrr:
I’ve been following Arsenal for about the same amount of time, so I understand how frustrating and disappointing it’s been over the years. But tere’s nothing quite like that “nearly” syndrome, we also need to be realistic with ourselves.
When Arteta took over Arsenal, look at the calibre of players he inherited. He’s had to overhaul almost the entire squad, but without the kind of budget that teams like United, Chelsea, and even City have been spending in a single season , we spent what Chelsea spent in 2years in 5years....
City, for example, spent nearly £100 million just to strengthen the squad in January again, we couldn't spend a penny🥺,and they have been pretty at our back ever since ,and they’re reportedly planning to spend another £200 million in the next transfer window. Can Arsenal realistically match that?

Exactly what i am saying, arsenal do not have that quality to compete with City. It would have been great for them to do it this season as they almost did but with the situation now, they can't. The big money city having reinforced in january will win the league again.

ajalawole:
let me pray for you first...
God bless you bro.
Injury and mismanagement put those teams you mentioned where they are today.. if abramovich was still in Chelsea they won't be in this forms, even those they are not doing bad under the new owner, same things with united too. Only those that started watching football will argue with you on what you said. Have been a Chelsea fans since 2000 and I don't panic in game of football at all. I always wait till final 90min before I react, even when Chelsea beat city during there champions league final I almost get high BP, since then I don't panic.

Man united, i understand. Chelsea, forget. The rich abramovich made them great and he is gone now. That club is completely washed now..

Sccarrr:
Odegard came back after been out for months and you expect him to be exceptional in matter of days🥺🤭, na like that den dey regain form??😂..and Saka crucial goal against Brighton gave us 3 points, he single handledly gave us another against Wolves and many more evn though he is currently struggling, how is he not making difference?...they are the reason we are here right now cos they worked their socks off even with all the challenges and not any yeye luck like you implied........

when Liverpool won it last season with long margin ,other teams were not poor😹😹, City won it back to back for several years, other teams were not poor...... now its Arsenal, suddenly they are now poor....abeg go sit-down.

You are just contradicting yourself here and there even when you have stated the obvious facts. No one says Saka and Odeggard have not been good. The fact is that they are presently not good probably due to injuries like you stated and that is one the reasons they wont win the league. Their best players are washed and they do not have the quality at this crucial time.

Yes, liverpool won by a good margin cus other teams were not good enough. They were extremely lucky to win comfortably. This time, arsenal would have been lucky too but mancity reinforced during the last window and they have some players that have now recovered fully from injury. They are the best in england at the moment. If you doubt me, go and watch their last two matches. They have 95% chances of winning the league. They are unlikely to loose any of their remaing fixtures. They will batter Arsenal again for sure.

smokinloud:
Saka, Odegaard and Timber are not just three regular players. They're Arteta main guys.

But you know these players are not in for especially saka and odeggard.

ajalawole:
you have time for those arsenal fans. Even timber may have been useless** in this game with Bournemouth high press.. anteta get it wrong here rushing to bring in 3 players after the restart that show he was in panic mood.

I was surprised to see him replace Maduekwe with a school boy in a game of that magnitude when Arsenal were loosing. Agree, Maduekwe is a player without sense but he is better being on the pitch than that innocent boy. That game was too big for him.
