I only see a frustrated man. Drown alone. No one is going down with you.

You are in a psychological battle with your wife and both of you are losing. You're both losing because you failed to provide leadership.

Take responsibility of what happens in your house and let her be your assistant. She's leading and your are following.

She is dying for your leadership not followership.

Take charge. Assign duties and chores. Do yours and make sure she does hers. Give her bills to pay sometimes. Take the larger chunk but make sure she does hers.

As for the kitchen issue, if it is what you have delegated to her, then let her be responsible but she must also take instructuons from you as her leader.

She should be the one asking you if she should permit your mum to use the kitchen and not the other way around.

As for church, instruct her to follow you to church. She can attend hers after or before that.

Take the lead and both of you will be happy.

Here we go, Arsenal has made the First Contact with Ole and Carrick.

This man should be my successor...

Nezzjnr:
It's just so sad that I'm seeing my Fellow Gunners insulting Arteta over this match. Good thing doesn't come easy... There's always light at the end of the Tunnel.


This Man really knows what he's doing, I mean we were able to score and hold the game till the 79th minute... That's something worth celebrating... Next game I hope we extend the time before our opponent scores.

Give Arteta time and see how we'll turn out few years from now... Trust the process.

Goodnight and God bless you all..

But i already saved the channels after the blind scan, or is there anyother way of saving it?

Your memory may be full. Delete some irrelevant channels.

How much please.

RhuzBhee:
Hi guys, anytime i switch on my decoder (4954) there'll be no signal at all, until i perform a blind scan.
Isn't it supposed to scan the channels itself once i switch it on?.... Any solution to that?

Save the scanned channels before exiting.

An Alexis
A Ramsey

Is that confusing to you as simple as it looks?

The last two bold and talented players Arsenal had were these two. Thus getting something in their mould is a good precise wish, if not better, which we know for now is not possible until UCL football returns.

Probably you were among the few of us who saw the usefulness of Ramsey but if you were here when Ramsey was still with us, you will understand my confusion. That was the same way they murdered Giroud without appreciating the contributions they bring to the team.

daveP:
Arsenal are 7th with -3


If i were Arteta, I'll be planning how to make it a goal fest against Everton. That GD needs change to +

But, its Arteta!!

It is Arteta!

Make DCL no kon use that match to sharpen CV.

We should easily dominate that Midfield and a Midfield should also be on the scoresheets as well.


Fred scoring and Partey isn't

I think the problem with our play in recent times especially against big teams is that they quickly tend to sit back and draw pressure.

Earlier in our winning runs, we were playing a high defensive line and it was working especially against Spurs. I don't know why/ or where they picked this idea of sitting deep. We have two CBs that are quite fast and could easily cover space. After all that's why White and Gabriel are holding the CB positions.

I hope that in the Everton game they will change this. We are always better of when on the front foot.

daveP:
Henry meant that its shameful subbing off the origin of ginger. A captain can be subbed off when he's done a great job and thats the norm. So subbing off a captain is indirectly a testament to how poor things have been which Arteta isn't ready to notice right now.

If he isn't inspiring enough, snatch off the armband off him and put in on someone that will ginger the team.


I think we are the only 3rd team in EPL that has their attacker as Captain. Most are defenders and Midfielders. Just saying.


Whatever angle is read, Henry is right. He's more or less the spokesman for the Trio of himself, Vierra, and Bergie. Those guys hang out often.


Pires on the other hand is wrong. But Arsenal still need defenders. If any of two CBs injure, hope you know we got no exact replacement?


Tactical, we need the tip of a diamond middle cos its lacking. So defenders can wait for now. The Alexis is needed. If he is going to be the peak of our attack danger, i don't mind. Emirates need an Alexis again.


An Alexis and Ramsey.

Una dey call Ramsey self. Imagine the Ramsey everybody dey roast except me. It's that same Ramsey you are begging for.

Chai! Very soon na Giroud.

Jodera:
The target before the start of the season is to get back to UCL, especially as we have no European commitment this season.

So because we're 19th in big chance created now means we can't improve or it suddenly means we're so bad?. Leeds, Burnley and Newcastle are higher up the table than us on that, I guess they've better players than us? Na wa to you oo

Top 4 is first to 4th, but there are a lot of teams vying for that 4th position. We all know that 1st-3rd is on lockdown leaving that 4th spot up for grabs only. I don't know how you'll say we shouldn't compete for the 4th spot with Leicester, man u, west Ham and Tottenham. Na wa oo

Let us keep lowering the bar you hear, in no distant time na relegation go be our realistic target.

The two bolded are contradictory statements.

In the first you gave up 3 positions because in your mind you think it's now impossible for us to finish 1st to 3rd. You will say you're being realistic right?

Then suddenly, in the second you accuse me of lowering the bar, because I simply want to be realistic.

LoL


A classic case of flip flop.

Jodera:
To be honest, as germa.phobe said, someone who's target in top4 will be more serious than someone who's target is top 6. I remember during Wenger's time, once we're first or 2nd, even if we lose the next three matches, the players wouldn't be bothered cos they're within the top 4 range, immediately they know their top 4 is in danger, they don't mind winning anybody even if you bring barca at camp nou. That's how ambitious they cherish top4. If this players target top6, even if top 4 dey up for grabs, they wouldn't be ambitious to grab the spot, as long as they're not below 5th or 6th.

And one thing I know is that this squad is okay to target for top4 not top6. Yes, we might not get top 4, but that doesn't mean it isn't realistic for this squad to compete for top 4. Aside our back 5, the midfield and attack have been together for more than a year, and it's not as if the back 5 are a kind of shambles sef

What was the target before the start of the season?

Well, yours may be different but officially it was to get back to Europe which is a top 6 target. Whether we eventually win the league or not becomes an added bonus.

By the way which squad is good enough for top4? The one you just posted up there that is 19th in creativity and needs more attackers?

Stay straight. Don't be gay man.

Just to mention, I find it funny how you guys can't get the actual meaning of top 4 or whatever. For clarification, it means from 1st to 4th or as the case may be. Does not necessarily mean 4th or below. Na wa o.

Roland17:
Nwanne, I no respond to your recent mentions about your Scam for a reason. E get bus stop wen I dey wait for two of una with stone, una bus neva reach there yet.

I just feel I have a stake in him. Na just say I campaign for am when he was at City.
I would surely abandon him before he gets where you will stone us. I know say him go reach there one day. IT student nor be employee.

germaphobe:
the zeal and determination of someone who wants to make top 6 can never be same with someone who wants to make top 4 not to talk of someone who wants to win the league. you sound like someone who have never been in a competition(which i know and believe you've actually been in and conquered). arsenal needs ucl now more than ever. you as an independent plastic fan(sorry for the hard words) cannot say our target is top 6 when the coaching crew, board and owners have made it clear that getting back to ucl is the target.

You don't understand what target means or what 'at least' implies. I am sorry I don't have the time to keep explaining one thing over and over again. I can't be held responsible for your lack of comprehension. I am not your teacher. Sorry for the hard words.

Spy is someone that needs much convincing and by convincing he has to see it happen. Meanwhile I most times draw conclusions from data and I infer a lot. Reason it takes us long to agree on anything.

In summary, Spy will rather check the sea depth with both feet while I'd rather use a calibrated dip stick. You get

Funny.

You are an idealist, I am pragmatic. I see things better than you.

germaphobe:
yeah, i miss xhaka, do you have a problem with that?

No Sir.

germaphobe:
does that mean we cant aspire for top 4 again(which is actually where we belong) just because we haven't been there lately. everyone at the club is looking at playing in the ucl, na you and yourself de settle for TOP 6

Better than you, I even pray that we win the league. But things don't happen that way. Prayers, hopes and aspirations are different from targets.

To be realistic, our target is at least 6th. That doesn't mean 1st isn't part of it. Read well.

Roland17:
Did I just read a post where @Spy360 and Kokane agree on a topic? Is our Lord not great...

E remain @iamoindamola..

We will always agree whenever he doesn't smoke that his shit.

kokanepyramid:
Doesn't mean you should kill what's on ground,

That's why there's something called sustainable change. You don't change for the sake of changing else you'll run the business to the ground. You need to be strategic, There has to be a road map.

The problem with us is there's no road map, Spy you know at some point I was one of the biggest supporters of Wenger during his rebuilding era until I realised Wenger was just looking for excuses hence I back tracked.

What got us here was we will sell our players then replace them with rookies.
We saw what we enjoyed when we had them Carzolar, Ozil and Sanchez kind of players. Sanchez left what did we replace him with, Ozil left we replaced him with Willock even Guen played 10 at some point, Cazorla left what did we get.

Other clubs will replace like for like or even upgrade we will do the opposite reason we are rebuilding till eternity.

You have a point here. I totally agree with you.

Jodera:
Lol... I think you're mixing it both ways
What I see is productivity, what stats tell me is activity. For example, pepe can take a lame shot at goal, what stats will tell you is that pepe have a shot on target (activity), but me I know that such a shot can never yield to goal on any normal circumstances (productivity).

It's the reason why one needs to dey watch match and see wetin dey sup instead of just looking at livescores.

It's also the big reason why I was against auba starting against man u even tho he was our joint top highest goalscorer going into the game. Stats will tell you I'm crazy for saying such (how can you bench your highest goalscorer and striker for that matter going into a big game), but football watchers will see the point I'm making.

At the end of the day, auba was hauled off even tho we were looking for an equaliser(something that hasn't been done this season) and he was also the most criticised player after the match.

Scoreline, ball possession, shots on goal, shots on target, no of tackles, no of interceptions etc aren't activity my brother. They are records of productivity. What do you put on your CV? If you can't provide stats of your performances no employer will take you.

At the bolded, isn't that question reasonable? Unless it's for tactical reasons, there is no justification benching your most prolific player.

You see why I said you are looking at activity not productivity?

kokanepyramid:
That your first paragraph is not true, there are clubs that have fired and hired more frequently than we have and make top 4 and even win trophies, eg Real Madrid, Barca, Chelsea, etc

Hiring a new manager shouldn't be why we should be rebuilding for over 2 decades.

You dey talk like say you never been part of management before.

Every new management begins a new process. Whether they eventually win a quadruple of titles or not. New management, new plan, new process.

Jodera:
So we are out of Europe just to settle for top 6 now? Why is it that we can't compete for top 4, or are you just deliberately setting the standard low??

I am being realistic. Like I said, by the end of the last TW, our target was not to finish top 4. Please understand the meaning of target. My prayer is to even win the league but as far as targets are concerned, if one is going to be realistic then it's to finished at least 6th.

kokanepyramid:
When was the last time our target was to win the title?, we've been rebuilding since moving to the Emirate stadium. Even the twin towers didn't take that long to rebuild.

Then top 4 was the target, now it's top 6 aren't you seeing the trend here?

A rebuilding process begins with a new manager. If we change management now, na to start another process.

Last season under Arteta we finished 8th. It's expected that he should improve on that by taking us back to at least EL. From there we can begin to talk of CL placements.

I am not going overboard thinking we will be winning titles with this yamayama squad and manager.

daveP:
14goals 4assists

With a stellar performance against RB Leipzig days ago? He for dey ball under Klopp by now if not for work permit and etc.

I haven't taken notice of his performances in the BLiga. That's impressive.

kokanepyramid:
I remember during Emery's time when I said Xhaka might not be plying at the level we expect but given the options we had then I will pick him ahead of Guen, peeps wanted to destroy me

Exactly jare.

Same thing they are now saying about Aubameyang. As if we have better replacement. By the time he leaves for AFCON, and they realise we don't have striker they will be wishing he returns fast.

germaphobe:
dont settle for for that bro, and the target was top 4 not 6

When was the last time we finished top 4?

germaphobe:
I cantwait for afcon to start so auba can Bleep off my airspace, cus i know thats the only way for him to be out of our match day squid. arteta no fit bench him. as for elneny, well i just hope that was his final match for arsenal. i miss xhaka and TK gingering.

You miss Xhaka.

Arsenal fans?

Roland17:
You have an apprentice undergoing internship coaching a team with the youngest first 11 and you expect growth?

Who is developing who? Coach abi players?

Or is this a case of "The blind leading the blind".

No be here we dey?

We are currently 5th. Remember that the pre-season target was a top 6 finish. Make Una stop to do like say we dey target title.

daveP:
Lol.

If that Attack does at least send shudders down the spines of opposition Managers and defenders before meeting us, then its a useless attack. We should not be easily predictable in the final third and expect goals. Na why i dey miss Sanchez. Laca and Xhaka come close to gingering the grounds on which the team played that year and he added superb performance with the Gingering.

Xhaka dey try, but below par performance. Laca dey like a lil above average and barely gets breathing space to play his preferred role.


Current captain wey almost spoil Odegaard equalizer by 0.01 inches yesternight. Lol.

I do wish he gets his form back. I really do. A Taiwo Awoniyi would fill in his shoes easily and energetically.

I hope say you dey joke.

daveP:
Did you also notice Tavares did that exact same backpass that caused a goal at Anfield?

Well, he's playing that wing all by himself and i expect more work be done on him if that's Arteta's plan. Since Sanchez and Ramsey departure, that's the last season our attack made sense, esp in the final third.

That is why Arteta loves Xhaka. He covers the LB whenever he overlaps. Most of us here don't appreciate this. When I said for now Xhaka is the best partner for Partey, the likes of Jodera will be typing 'LoL' for me.

Jodera:
So we can't hold our own in midfield with personnel like odegaard, partey and elneny until we invest in dem zidane, pirlo and gattuso shebi?

Tierney and AMN included in that line up could have warned us a draw. I have said several times that Tavares' zeal, running up and down is masking his school boy style of play. He gets exposed against big boys. Tierney will be back same as Xhaka and we will compete again.

Jodera:
Have you ever seen me bring this post-match stats after a match?

I watch ball with my two eyes and I know when a team plays well, I don't need stats to tell me otherwise. Everyone who watched ystdy game knows auba played badly but stats will tell you auba had almost all his shots on target. Football Stats are not the best analytical tools if used on its own only

What you see is activity. What stats tell you is productivity. You will know this if you know science.
