All said and done, I still expect us to do well in the league this season (top 4). As it is, no team has been consistent so far and I believe we have a good squad even if we're missing one or two players.

As for the CL, though mathematically, we still have a chance to make the next round, it's always been a distraction anyways at least for some years now. What's the point of getting out of the group only to get kicked out in next round. Two unnecessary extra matches we can do without IMO.

I don't have much to say about AW that hasn't been said before. I only wish he had stepped asides a few years back. He'll probably be revered by all now if he had. He's done a lot for Arsenal and deserves all. Now, even his most ardent supporters are finding it hard to stand by him. I like the guy and have defended him in the past but he has brought Arsenal to the point where results don't mean move me anymore. I've had very minimal expectations of our team so when they don't achieve, I just shrug and move on.
I disagree
Those two matches are money spinners

We names 28m pounds at the minimum at that stage

QF means we make extra 5-6


Money is the game

and who's fault is that?

Let me guess.
That's how mature made it grin

It's not because of the hypocrisy and discrimination against women ingrained in the people I.e society's skin?

Anyway don't worry about the girl per consequences. She clearly wanted the baby. So it's not a consequence. She got what she wanted.

Obviously the OP is the one suffering the consequences now.

Instead of you people to encourage young men to be repsonsible too as you always harp on women, you're here telling us that's society.
As if society is made up Angels from heaven.
All these rants on top simple issue

Society actually did make sure young men are responsible by making it almost impossible to sleep with a woman outside marriage
The alternative was räpe which had serious consequences

Modernisation led to the license the have nowadays

Wenger is so annoying..... We have a good goalkeeper Cech yet he is gambling or should I say experimenting with that gremlin...
We would have won yesterday's match if we had used a Cech... The goals were so stupidly annoying
He may be annoying to you but some people idolize him

I however disagree with you on Ospina
He may have made an error for the second goal but yesterday was down to the defensive lapses which have been ever present with this team

Even wenger called Czech out against west ham

Honest and serious question.

If AW was coach of another club, qualified for the champions league over 50 times and sent out in second round over 30 times, although been in the final once and semi-final a couple of times; Not won the league in over 10 years but won FA Cup in past two years. If we had the chance to sign him as manager, would you agree to sign him? And why?
Yes yea yes

Well, some of us aren't ready to discard the african mentality na.
You know the premium placed on the male child by africans.
Well, not to put anyone down though...but the concept "real" doesn't really sound cool.
I think it creates a very obvious divide.
Pick, all I know is that there are men and there are men cool
How do they say it again? Experience speaks louder than voice cheesy
Correct

My list is tall and long ocheesy

Well, a real man is someone I can respect.
One that I can look up to.

I know that I am a leader.
A real man has to be someone who can lead me....I actually desire someone I can follow as per leader/follower r/ship.
The equality shii doesn't cut it for me menh cool Equity does it.

Every other thing on my list is secondary cool
So you also believe in the connotation real man

Ever heard of the parlance, "Na condition make crayfish tail bend?"
Some people had to bring them selves to make the choice...whatever it is.
It does not always connote that they deserve it.

Humans will always have their baggage....good, bad, ugly.
If we walked out on everyone because we couldn't bring ourselves to tolerate them, where would we be by now?

Ok

So what do you think about the term 'real' man?

Ever felt stuck?
Like you got no where else to go?
No one should be made to pass through such harrowing experience.


Well, you see a guy who drinks himself to stupor, hits his babe and does certain inanities...
The expectation is that the girl should leave, but somehow she stays with him...
Loving him as much as she can muster.

Sometimes, life throws certain people at us who do not in anyway epitomize who are what we are at the core.

The faint of heart can't deal, still, it's not okay to generalize by saying we deserve em all.
Good

I like your example

She is stuck.... A metaphor for choice

Sugar coat it all you like
It is a choice which connotes tolerance of her situation

I know there are people who pretend and deceived but showed their true colours after..yes

But there is choice to stay or GO

There is a choice

Don't paper that over

MizMyColi:
The wife beater is mostly a product of brokenness.

when people exert negativity on their partners, they need to understand that they are merely projecting their insecurities and what nots on those who love them.
If I met a guy today who abuses me for no just cause, having the understanding that he is simply projecting his issues on me in a bid to deal with them would help me figure out ways to help him....or just leave if I can't deal.

You cannot change that which is within from without.
Let that which is within change that which is without.

Youve made it about wife beating.. That is an aside

The statement is "we deserve what we tolerate'

I catch your drift, still it doesn't always pan out that way.
However, it's not an absolute. There are people who happened to be into the wrong person at the right/wrong time.

I also know of people who in my worldview, aren't worthy of the kind of guys/ladies they have in their lives.

That's why I maintain that everyone deserves better and a chance at being better.
These people..... They made a bad decision?
What did they do about it..


When u say not worthy.. Can u expatiate

What do the people in the relationship feel about their partners

Thanks dear

The next question is why is there not a term 'real lady'

Why the need to qualify a man with the term real?

MizMyColi:
Something about that statement doesn't add up.

So, if a lady lands a wife beater then she deserves him too? huh

How about, everyone (male and female) deserve better.
Actually that statement is a reflection of the reality

Let's explore your scenario

In most cases
Is wife beating something which comes out of the blue?

A relationship is an agglomeration of decisions and choices

Why divorce yourself from the consequences of those choices

"What you keep in your life yet is bad for you, you value."

The only statement of intent is taking that step

To deserve better one has to be better

That's what this writeup addresses.

Someone succinctly captured it when he said the best way to test a man's loyalty is when he has everything.
Well u could call it my POV

Its what I've seen over and over

The marrying of trophy wives as u call it happens to guy who marry late (in their 40s) or second marriages

Most first marriages are to those who grew together
