BlueRayDick:


It seems u just have free time on ur hands and u feel to use it going round and round a circle ; because anybody that followed our discussion would see that I provided a source to his unhappiness on the bench.

Once again I did not claim , it was reported in the news and I showed u evidence/source to that effect.

He was happy chopping three goals against Brentford.

Fkforyou:
All is set for Artetas new contract valid till 2027 😂🌚

Interesting times ahead for this thread 😂

Emilokan phase II

Salewa97:
Peter Obi should stop being petty.

His criticisms are becoming too obvious and predictable

What's more obvious is that you are also queueing to buy fuel at N1300 and cursing the attendant.

What's obvious is that as a civil servant you have not received the so called min wage

What's obvious is that we are all enjoying this government together 😂😂😂😂

FreeStuffsNG:
The renaming took effect from 2 September 2024 and a certificate signed by Hussaini Magaji, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and the Registrar General of the Corporate Affairs Commission has been issued to that effect.
I thought the criminal defamers and unpatriotic elements were lying before that Wale Tinubu has bought over NNPC Retail? Smh.

Finally, the truth is now being forced out by force after Oando Plc threatened to compile the list of alleged criminal defamers/media platforms and commence litigation against all those peddling criminal defamation against their organization for political mischief and because President Bola Tinubu defeated their mediocre principals during the last Presidential election.

This is why it's good to set the records straight. Oando Plc is not even owned by Wale Tinubu but by every Dick, Tom and Harry Nigerian and foreigner owning its shares traded on both Nigerian Stock Exchange and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.

NNPC merged all the companies into OVH and now renamed it as NNPC Retail Limited. This business decision has nothing to do with Oando Plc that had since divested from OVH since 2019 and all the information were in the public domain. Premium Times fall our hand too.

May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

Now that you lots have said Tinubu doesn't own OVH, stick to your words. All these abracadabra merger and renaming upandan let it not be that tomorrow Tinubu will appear from no where to claim ownership of NNPC.

madridguy:
The people praising Abure for illegally taken what belongs to Alhaji Apapa are now celebrating his removal.

Very soon they will still accuse Tinubu of plotting Mrs Nenadi Usman through Ganduje as usual.

I just hope Mrs Nenadi Usman will use her office to torchlight the LP campaign funds and make a proper audit.

The people who supported Apapa against Abure are now supporting Abure.

What a miskelemess

OasisX:




.......bruh! Honestly I am fully in touch hence reason I decide to be in ghost mode. I really wanna stay calm till Baba gets it right but some Dudes here won't let my Moniker rest. To them, everything na we vs them. LOL!

🥴 😂

sreamsense:

You keep deceiving yourself and wasting your precious time like you wasted writing lenghty epistle that ended up in futility during election. Do you think if Tinubu is out today, it will ever reach Obi? Honestly, you need farm work so you can get too busy from every hourly post about Tinubu because at the end of the day I don't know how many hours left you have for yourself.

You are an idiot o. What concerns Obi with what he posted? You could have as well go to Kemi's twitter and post that Obi will not be president. What class of fool are you my brother

BlueRayDick:


Go and read my post again. I already said u can fault the ref for his mistakes in other part of officiating that day, but he's not wrong sending Rice off. Rice asked for it and he got served.

Simple!

The discussion was on the consistency of the referee decision

leokid866:
8.7 Million.....

Wow! So we have an incredible 8.7m idiots in this country according to INEC? And you're proudly one of them

BlueRayDick:


Rice is a professional footballer, the rules are the rules.

If u obstruct a free kick it is a yellow card; this is not about sentiments.

You can fault the ref for not penalizing a Brighton player for similar offence but it doesn't take away the fact that Rice committed a bookable of fence.

Rice did absolute nonsense with that singular act. It's not like Veltman will score directly into our goal post if Rice had allowed him play the free kick.

The crazy thing in all of this is that Rice was even attempting a useless dribble before Veltman gained the ball which led to Rice fouling him resulting in the controversial free kick.

I am not arguing this. But Rice was not the only person that committed that kind of foul in that game. If Rice was punished, shouldn't the ref be punished for lack of consistency?

We shouldn't be only looking at Rice but also the ref

BlueRayDick:


You have been watching the wrong video, Rice did kick the ball; and that was why Veltman's kick hit him hard.

Rice messed up, I believe his adrenaline got the best of him because I can't really see to understand what point he was trying to make preventing Brighton from restarting play that high up the field . It's not like Veltman will kick the ball into our goal post from that spot without our defenders doing anything.

Ideally Rice should be apologizing to his fellow players and teammates for that nonsense he did; If that was Xhaka in his dark days we will be calling for his head.

You're ignoring the fact that Veltman threw the ball into Rice's path from behind him. You are also not accepting that the ref overreacted. And then that the ref wasn't consistent because twice in the same game Brighton players did similar things and were not cautioned.

I will not like you to be my brother. You will blame me for every fight I get into.

leokid866:
yen....yen....yen.....

So you are among the so called 8million idiots according to INEC

MadPolitician:


Nigeria is a victim of her tribal make up. He's piling on because he knows that no matter how terrible his policies and governance style are, there will always be millions of ethnic henchmen and religious fanatics churning out different amorphous reasons as to why he is the next best thing after pizza.

If he is the president of Odua, they would have sacked him ever since. They won'ttolerate this level of suffering for any reason. But the Nigerian presidency has become a position for ethnic champions to display their skills in recent times and that has proven to be some sort of political masterstroke, albeit, for the time being

Apt

BlueRayDick:


Nigerians have mastered the art of suffering and smiling under this administration.

If election holds tomorrow, u will be surprised that a whole lot of people will still vote Tinubu.

Why?

You will start hearing extremely fooolish and unintelligible excuses like : "Jagaban is trying, it's not easy to clear the rot of 24 years in one year " ;But it is easy to quadruple the suffering of the people with useless policies within a year.

Plus we have a very short memory. By next year we will forget all that transpired because Naira will go from 1600 now to 1550 then.

MadPolitician:


But for how long?

My brother it depends on everyone of us. I don't know what else we need to motivate us to react. More hunger? More arrests and execution? More stealing and recklessness? More Balablu?

In most countries, for them this government would have already crossed the line with that useless subsidy is gone statement on the first day of this useless government

MadPolitician:
This guy actually thinks that he has the political gravitas to cage the whole angry and hungry Nigerians for as long as he wants? Dude is overestimating his capabilities. The daily worshipping that happens at his gate in Bourdillion seem to be fooling him. Actions like this will actually stiffen resolves to fight amongst the poor not frighten them, since it's now more like a zero sum game

In reality my brother he does. I know because if by now we are still discussing this on NL instead of him escaping through a tunnel to Benin Republic, and if by now some people are still supporting him, and if by now even if he gives some idiots N5k they will protest against these protesters being tried for treason, my brother forget it. Tinubu has not just caged, but he has also pocketed the whole Nigeria

Jodera:

Lol, you're forgetting Jorginho?

But I doubt Jorginho will play cos he hardly plays Partey and Jorgi together. So what I'm suspecting is

Odegaard, Partey, Havertz.

Saka, Trossard, Martinelli.

Easy peasy

Jesus should be back. Trossard goes to bench

germaphobe:

I love our set up and game play but honestly I wouldn't mind if one player scores dem goals and the team achieve success in terms of trophies. Haaland scoring goals doesn't take away the brilliance of other players in Man City. Last season he scored the goals but Foden won a more priced individual award.

The era of one player doing all the goal scoring has past. Funny enough it was Pep who introduced total football in this generation where he has goal scorers across the front line. Going back to the ancient tactics of putting the goal scoring burden on one player for me is improper. It is working now but it's a problem that player loses form or gets injured.
So the team crashes?

Any manager will prefer a team where he has multiple goal scorers than single.

Arteta has built a team where a defender like Gabriel can get 7-8goals in a season from set pieces. They have taken it as a responsibility and have mastered it. Now we are the most dangerous in set pieces. For me we are better equipped than Man City.

iamoyindamola:
Haaland with another hat trick but we don’t need cf 😂😂😂
When last we score hat trick, oh arteta ball allow multiple scorers as if city don’t have different scorers too

CF or not. If one player scores more than 50% of all the goals then that team has a problem.

BlueRayDick:
So Trossard will have to come off due to Rice recklessness . SMH

Trossard was the reason Rice got carded because he does defend well and so Rice has all the pressure from that area.

Arteta will regret falling for that mistake or listening to fans calling for Trossard to start.

Martinelli could have easily dealt with that full back

Shegzdave:
Half Time
Nice ball so far, sweet goal from King Kai assisted by one and only StarBoy

Partey and Rice on Yellow

Partey's yellow was uncalled for. Asking the ref to fk off is a card offense now. Players should follow the rules better

This ends the Trossard must start debate.

😂

Who needs a striker again? You? Me?

😂

iamoyindamola:

Clubs improve from last season but we always reduce in quality
The blind could see the games we lost last season were due to absence potent striker
All these arteta doesn't use pure 9 na sacamaje
These guys will use forever to make signing after identifying their target
The entire transfer just went from 8 to 0

In the end we will be seeing pep is the oga boss

Calm down.

The window isn't exceptionally good but it was quite decent.

My only low point is that we didn't upgrade our first team but time will tell if the likes of Calafiori and Merino will prove us wrong.

But we definitely did upgrade the quality of our bench. No doubt about that.

The sweetest part is exchanging Nelson for Sterling. And having to see Chelsea pay 265k every weekend,

Roland17:
Under Arteta, we are now at the peak of our spending.

See, I don’t care if he signs Kiki Musampa, I stopped bothering 2 seasons ago. If he fails to win the league/ UCL, I just hope for the sake of the club’s future, his loyalists have the decency to demand his sack without turning amala or reminding me Pep is still in the league.

Please, we are not spending and investing to this level for Carabao or FA Cup. Arteta has been given funds, his choice of players is his business but no one should ever say he wasn’t backed in the transfer market.

I acknowledge that he has to win things this season but every other thing you wrote didn't sound smooth to me. I mean
1. He wasn't given funds. We had to sell to buy.
2. We aren't in the peak of our spending
3. Apart from Calafiori, I doubt he got all the players he wanted.

𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐒: Net spend = - £1m

CyrusVI:
I dont get it

You are tryna justify a wrong with another wrong? Are you Igbos really like this?


That aside, who is that Man and where is the recording?


Amaka hosted a live session where she did all these and the link was out as soon as the space was on. this man u are talking about, when did he do his?
https://x.com/marythesa/status/1828325779286921419

Part 2
https://x.com/NoNonsensezone/status/1828379271422775481

And if its not a live session like Amaka's own, then its hard to take that in as a fact. Amaka's case was diff...she was on a session and people were joining. in fact, the link was already on Twitter when the session was on, not like they released a random video after the session

So where did this man host his session? and whats his Username

Ssknce you are being objective, let's also call for the arrest of the Oba Of Lagos who threatened to drown Igbos in Lagos, and the First Lady, and MC Oluomo, what about the Lagospedia guy?

Afonjas are too numerous to mention.

iamoyindamola:

They play even arteta don't rate nelson
I will rather play maquinhos than playing nelson

What is keeping Nelson is his salary. And the fact that Arteta doesn't want to let him go for free being an academy player.

Jodera:


If both of them plays central midfield or Am, who does their attack still depends on?

I'm not saying they don't have same skillset cos they're similar (ie Odegaard and Bernardo). I just said, "who's the closest thing to their Kdb for us"?.

Odegaard doesn't need to have same skillset as Kdb in other to be "our Kdb" na

Ok I get your question clearly now as per the bolded. Odegaard is our main creative oulet same as KDB for Man City.

Shegzdave:

Thank you.

I also understand Arteta tactics but getting a real striker after Nketiah departure is necessary and it must be an upgrade, there’s a reason why Teta always have a real striker even if he rarely uses him.

There are some games where the opponent plays lowblock, this is where a real striker who is good with head and already proven is needed.

I hope Edu and Teta do what will Favour the team sha cause them must show workings this season

You are absolutely correct with the bolded. Let me add and mid-block defending too like we saw against Aston Villa, a quick striker would have gotten several 1 on 1 chances once he escapes the high line offside trap.

However, Arteta has other ways as I noticed how he broke that mid-block against Villa by overloading the midfield with Timber and Havertz while pushing Saka and Trossard higher

...... Trossard....... Saka..............
Rice........ Havertz...... Odegaard
....... Timber ....... Partey.............

Jodera:

Tbh, I've made my research before I came to that conclusion. First time I saw that under Ebl, I was surprised cos he's really someone I respect his work, but in this aspect I fully disagree with him

In midfield, all attack flows through prime Kdb for Man City not Bernardo
In midfield, all attack flows through Odegaard for us.

Statwise, they might be similar (perhaps in terms of assist or so) but if you delve deeper, you'll see that most expected assists(xA), chance creation, Key passes, Big chances created are all Odegaard's forte in Arsenal.

Who do you think has all those stats in Man City? It certainly won't be Bernardo.

In terms of dictating and breaking down low blocks for arsenal when things gets tight(like dropping into midfield and starting attack). We call on Odegaard. Same thing Kdb does when things gets tight.

I don't want to talk about their skillsets cos Odegaard and Kdb are different kind of players with different skillset but the mantle, leadership and role, both have been the go-to guys in this team.

Lol, lastly I saw your post earlier today about us benching Odegaard if we want to play Man City. It was funny and I just laughed then but now I understand cos you're really seeing him as our Bernardo, cos if you'd seen him as our Kdb, you'll know that will never be an option no matter how.

I understand your point but it depends.

Usually if Silva is playing central midfield KDB acts as the runner. Both of them are AM and can be related to Odegaard in skill set.

Shegzdave:

I mean how hard is that to see
We need a real striker and not some false 9, almost if not everyone on this thread had also agreed we need a good striker and someone is talking about comprehension issues

Some crosses into the box where we need a real striker to finish it off and Osihmen is a real striker also good with his head but we mustn’t sign him but some false 9 who isn’t always present in the box.

Arteta's pattern does not require a true striker.

That's why Nketiah became useless.

Personally I wish we could add a striker only of top quality.

But I also know that as far as our tactics are concerned, we won't need him.

I have said it here on several occasions when defending Havertz and Jesus that they are not playing as true strikers but you people refuse to listen to superior opinion.
