dederocs:
Use your brain, there is a level of bombardment that capitulates a nation, doesn't mean every single building will be blown up. Blow up their oil installations, blow up all their road and bridges, blow up all their government buildings, block their waterways, stop all their oil tankers, seize or blow them all up, blow up the power stations, blow up all infrastructure, destroy their water source, and carry out a bombing campaign on the civilian population loyal to the regime, to scare and confuse the population, eventually the nation capitulates, the people will take to the streets in desperation, chaos ensues, government officials dead or toppled...it happened in Nazi Germany, happened in Iraq.

oh ! y'all are changing the narratives again, thought your colleagues said they were going to nuke Iran....not surprised tho Trump too said they've won the war in the second day, later he was begging for help everywhere, another time he said they needed no help ,he was going to do it alone, another day he begged again to help Open the Strait 😂, baba vex again said countries should go and Open it on their own, like a spoilt brat he ranted again using lots of fuvking fuvking curse word that they should open it up, he vexed now say ehn den go join close am down 😂😹.......Kai 😹

Gerhards:
They are right there in Iran and soon they take over their island oil and nothing will happen. Get ready for Iranian conquering 😀😃

Hollywood

dederocs:
Listen carefully, it is seized, let Iran get it back...Iran was threatening cargo ships with mines, it has no assets there. American ships don't pass there. Iran can't sell oil anymore
US warships now in charge, they can bomb them, and ignite another round of bombardment. I told you pawns that a trap will be set for Iran again. Trump and Netanyahu wants to destroy Iran, you don't get it...the aim is to destroy Iran, this is their chance, blow up the whole thing.

too many American movie scripts full una head.....naso den dey blow up a whole country of 70m ppl😹😹

Nwaikpe:
Funny that what you celebrate is survival.


Nigeria has defeated Boko Haram many times, and yet there are still enclaves where Nigerian soldiers dare not go.
That is simply because of "asymmetric warfare."

The Americans can go in with full force, but the cost will be much for them and too great for the Iranians, even though the Iranians will celebrate whatever the outcome is as a victory, because to them, the cost never matters.


The good thing is that there is how they will push the world, and then the USA will overlook the cost, and then Iran will learn.

Chinua Achebe, not interested in reading your epistle....it's pretty straight forward, USA Is not as great as they think after all, cry inside 🪣if e pain u

Nwaikpe:
And as much as it will close,

Ayatollah, and all the generals and all their navy and airforce will come back to life,
Right?

oga go sleep, even with all the dead general, I thought they should have occupied Iran by now🙄, guess what's 🤭,almighty USA is still struggling....that's a big shame and very disgraceful 😢

dederocs:
America oil doesn't pass there. Iran won't be able to sell oil again, you pawns don't get it. It is seized.

lol...from it's opened to , you fuvking fuvking should open the strait , and now it's seized.....we are waiting for the next lamentations in coming days😹😂

Indigbo:
If that was Raya, it would have been a goal

stop clowning... Arsenal suddenly loose , una don start every disrespect

Nwaikpe:

It's a shame that you are talking about what is in the backyard of Iran.
America says nothing will pass. If it belongs to Iran, let them open it na.

more clowning.....well Iran want it closed...so it's a welcome development for America to help keep it closed 😂

Nwaikpe:
The US now owns the Strait.

Make Iran put body and see.

they own it but can't open it😹😹😹 clowns

boxypane:
What is wrong with Nigerians and giving the country a bad name? Politicians are home doing it, disgruntled ones are abroad committing crimes.

they are not Nigerians..they've said it so many times, I wonder why they use Nigerian passport to commit their crimes tho 🤔

IyaTola:
I get where you’re coming from — and honestly, a lot of Arsenal fans feel that same mix of pride and frustration right now. But if we’re being real about it, the “we can’t compete financially” angle only tells part of the story.

When Mikel Arteta took over, yes, the squad needed major surgery. No argument there. And to his credit, he’s rebuilt the core — younger, more cohesive, and actually aligned with a clear identity. That’s something Arsenal lacked for years, even late into Arsène Wenger’s era.

Arsenal haven’t exactly been operating on a shoestring budget. Over the last few years, they’ve spent heavily — just more strategically than clubs like Chelsea FC or Manchester United. Players like Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Martin Ødegaard weren’t cheap — that’s elite-level investment. So it’s not just about how much you spend, but how well you spend it.

Now compare that to Manchester City under Pep Guardiola. Yes, they can drop £100M in January without blinking — but they’re not just throwing money around. Their recruitment is ruthless, precise, and built on an already world-class foundation. That’s why even their “backup” players can decide title races.

So can Arsenal match that financially? Probably not pound-for-pound. But the bigger question is: do they need to?

What Arsenal are building is a team that should be hitting its peak now. At some point, the excuses — rebuild, age profile, budget gaps — start to fade. When you’re pushing City this close, the expectation naturally shifts from “progress” to “deliver.”

And that’s the uncomfortable truth:
It’s no longer about whether Arsenal can spend like City — it’s about whether they can beat them anyway.

Because Leicester already showed, years ago, that perfection over a season can outweigh pure financial power. The gap is real, but it’s not insurmountable — it just leaves you with a much smaller margin for error.

So yeah, be realistic… but also recognize this: Arsenal aren’t underdogs anymore. They’re contenders now. And contenders eventually have to get over the line.

I agree with some of your points, but the fact remains that without the kind of financial backing clubs like City, Chelsea, and United have, it’s very difficult to get over the line.

You mentioned that Arsenal spent on players like Declan Rice, Martin Ødegaard, and Kai Havertz but didn’t invest in strategic positions, that’s simply not accurate. When the season starts and those players are fit, we can all clearly see their quality, dominance, and how dangerous the team can be. The real issue, which you didn’t mention, is injuries.

Havertz and Ødegaard, for example, have been out for several months. When players are sidelined that long, it’s mad difficult for them to regain top form quickly.
As for squad depth yes, Arsenal do have backups ,but then again,due to financial limitations, the quality of those backups doesn’t match what teams like City can afford as backup...

To make matters worse, even the backup players are dealing with injuries. Players like Timber and White have been struggling with fitness and form, while others like Hincapié, Calafiori, and Lewis-Skelly have faced similar issues... Merino completely out, Odegaard has also been unfit, and Eze only recently returned from injury.

If Arsenal had the financial power to spend another £100 million in the January transfer window like City can, the situation might be very different.

The reality is that the level of competition in the league right now is extremely high. It would take something close to a miracle for another Leicester-style story to happen again...btw I hope you remember how much Liverpool spent on those strategic positions you mentioned up there and where they are currently 🤔

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

lies.....we beat them when they had their best players and we had ours, they beat us when injury crisis hit , we had no big Gabi at the back, no white, no Calafiori,no Havertz,we were even without a striker and Merino was our makeshift striker.

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

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

ndidibabe:
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...

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

frankson1:
Few weeks back we didn't get to see all these analysis but now that arsenal have been exposed, every arsenal supporter has one excuse or the other.

This has always been a trend for arsenal towards the end of season and Man. City should have been topping the table if they themselves didn't falter.

Arteta's Arsenal has bought players for £m100, £m50 and £m65 etc but what you’re saying that he didn't have enough money to buy players

after buying likes of Cherki, Tijanni and others....why did Manshitty spend another 100m to chase Arsenal ...if having one Declan rice , Havertz in 5years is enough ,why can't Manshitty do it without shopping for more

osuofia2:
Let them prostrate in your dream, they determines the negotiations, just tell your fellow jihadists to let the world have peace and stop dragging the world back, imagine the senselessness of Western education is a sin, everything that makes lives easy for you all are Western ideas, even the phone you are using to type the jaggons

most of u go dey yarn nonsense confidently...u no know anything, all the algebra and those important complex mathematics were figured out by some islamic scientists, even algebra was even named after this one below, not even doing religion fight with u, without him and others like him, the phone you mention wouldn't have been in existence , u think all those ancient pyramids and buildings were just built by stacking stones and sands and not some complex engineering was behind those, even some of those Muslim countries are currently some of the most advanced countries in the world right now😹😹 ,smh 🙄 laslas U no get any iota of 🧠....I dey shame for myself for arguing with u

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

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🤫

ndidibabe:
The little fund they had, they have used to buy average players here and there to form a big squad of average players.

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

Sonofgod1990:
You remember when I told you dis thing.¿

lol..still on top of the table bro... crazily na u go cry on the last day of the season... enjoy now tho😂

Adonispco:
Money invested is not my priority Arteta should win this league that all I want from him no excuse.

hopefully he does, but it's hard to do when you can't afford to get the same caliber of players your contenders have

ndidibabe:
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.

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