Roland17:
People think I just hate Arteta.naaa. I just need him to start taking some serious accountability for why we are where are now. Stop throwing players under the bus, pitching certain players against fans or demanding more and more from the fans who have remained loyal to the club but actually taking full responsibility and owning it.

For example, there is absolutely no justifiable excuse for why a proven EPL player and former captain in Noorgard has seen only 56 minutes this season. While I have been hard on Zubi, I also recognize he may be fatigued and mentally fried considering the number of minutes/ games he has played this season.

We go into every game using the same tactics. It is 2026 and we are still stuck with inverting fullbacks! Like everyone has moved on from it. Come up with something new! Adapt to changes during the game. The cautious approach is a reflection of Arteta's mentality towards winning. He needs to get out of his own head.

A good coach will change tactics like two or three times a season. Pep does that all the time and that's why his end of season is usually unbeatable.

Maintaining the same tactics all year, one would eventually get found out as it is now with us.

Secondly, Arteta mismanaged his players. He had the depth but didn't use it. He waited until Saka and Odegaard got injured before he started trying out their backups. Same thing with Rice and Zubi. That's why Nwaneri chose to leave despite the prospects of being part of a title winning team.

Enrique always keeps his best players fresh for the end of season games which are more critical

I look at how disjointed and jaded our squad is and feel really bad.

Roland17:
You have raised some really good points but to be honest, they all point to one person, Arteta!

Our lack of direct and quick attack is by far our biggest problem and it is hurting every part of our play.

It's all Arteta

Look at how Pep reinvented his team after Haaland dropped form. He started using O'Reilly as his joker.

Arteta should have changed the way his team plays after losing Saka and Odegaard

He cannot expect Havertz to play like Odegaard, or White like Timber

Apparently withholding assent for the ADC to use a venue is part of the 'master strategy' by Melchizedek

Lol at Melchizedek - the man without father, mother, classmates, no beginning, no end

The man that graduated from a school before it was built. The man that built Lagos the way Constantine built Constantinople

Our attack has been poor all season despite signing a new striker.

That's because we felt we could scrape wins knowing our defense is solid. But solid defense don't win games. It's attack that win games.

We have the personnel, but lack the approach.

The first thing to do is to go direct. Arteta should warn his boys to avoid ball dressing. Kick the ball to the man in front. Once we have the ball, I expect men to start running forward not backwards.

germaphobe:
I knew that efl cup final would have an effect on any team that won, I said it here and it is happening. And the fact that we also lost to Bournemouth is giving city every reason to believe they can win this epl. It's just to win us next week and win their match with Palace and it's all done.

That loss is the motivation Man City has now. They are just simply motivated.

I hope thee boys can gather some momentum and face City like men.

They play with fear and that fear comes from the manager. I need players that will go direct. No dressing of ball. Too much dressing makes it unpredictable for your team mates to receive the pass and that's what is causing them to lose the ball. Hit the ball to your man. Once. Let them progress with it.

I'm happy fans are criticising their back passes. Hope it speaks to their heads and they correct the nonsense

See who you dey follow argue APC matter. You have time ọ 😂


Email, Opay account, truecaller, backup email


If APC tell him that up is down, up becomes down from that day

You could see that he doesn't mean well for Nigeria. His interest (whatever it serves) is Tinubu. So all the time he was defending this government was out of selfishness.

It's a shame that someone of his calibre, exposure and class should decent this low defending an INEC chairman who is meant to be neutral.

If indeed this INEC chairman is neutral then why should one party be defending him like they are defending Tinubu's mandate?

raumdeuter:
Grab your country
Snatch your country
Run away with it

Away from enemies of the nation

Renovator 😂

raumdeuter:
Nigerian voters have been deciding elections since including Obis wins and losses

So what does grab it, snatch it and run away with it connotes in the last elections

BlueRayDick:
The evidence is everywhere on the internet. Even some APC members have admitted Amupitan Don shiiit for church.

There's no spinning that can make this go away. He was an APC and Tinubu stan before his appointment.

He either does the honorable thing of stepping down or continue as INEC chair with the blemish on his name that he's obviously partisan. Nobody will beat him whatever decision he takes.

When Raumdeuter is defending the INEC chairman like he is defending BAT, you know that he knows

raumdeuter:
Leave that to Nigerian voters to decide in a few months time

Will Tinubu and his minions leave it for Nigerian voters to decide?

His grab it and snatch it and run away with it philosophy is a dangerous precedent to our democracy. He should be treated like cancer

raumdeuter:
Can you use the same username for 2 different accounts? Or what's the difference between the old and new username

The 2nd account might just be a random internet guy trying to farm impressions since he is using chatgpt to create posts

Tinubu, Prof Amupitan, APC and their followers are the most dangerous sets of people in Nigeria today.

I advise you my friend to stop supporting them.

Roland17:
Spy360, your MCM Aaron Ramsey has announced his retirement.

😂

One of those I defended

Brilliant player, very underrated, Wenger's boy

Thanks you sir for the mention

Partey is/was good but Zubibis a better player.

The main reason is that he is more pressing resistant and he can allow different tactical approach.

Partey is press resistant but not like Zubi. Partey also cannot play outside that RCM position. Partey cannot be a lone DM. Partey cannot make deep runs into the opposition box. Partey has a weak shot too.

Zubi has scored more goals this season than all the years Partey played for Arsenal.

We have won nothing with Partey

So let all these uninformed coaches stop the agenda

Leyqute:
You have started underrating City because of UCL win. I don’t see them losing to this disjointed Chelsea side coached by a part time final year English student. Didn’t the last 3 years teach you enough?

Which one is underrate? Even if City beat Chelsea, or lose, Arsenal must still focus on beating Bournemouth

Leyqute:
The best player in the game without a doubt. His saves were ridiculous. You guys need him in top form for the next 10 days which will define your season.

Beat Bournemouth this weekend and City next week, the league is yours. If you lose both games or drop points peren! It’s over o. That 9 points gap will immediately shrink to zero cos City will defo win their outstanding game.

The only way to stop those bæstàrds is to kill their morale. If you beat them and Bournemouth, they are more likely to lose their outstanding.

But then Bournemouth go give you trouble this weekend. They’re fresh after the intl break while you guys have played two games already.

Weekend games after a busy midweek in Europe are usually tough. But on top of that, it’s an early kick off (12:30). If your guys can recover quickly and not allow Bournemouth ginger and energy to out power them, there’s hope for Arteta. They haven’t lost a game in 10. Their last EPL defeat was against Arsenal in January.

We are playing at home. Let City bother about beating Chelsea in SB

BlueRayDick:
Whites case is not rhythmic anything, gbag guy is finished. I've seen the signs already ; his positioning is off, players easily beat him to a pass and when he's progressing with the ball up field he just switches off.

He is battling fitness. Being out for almost a year. The performance drop in anticipation and sprint

izzou:
Your enemy would obviously look for loopholes to stop you.

I don't even know why they joined ADC... Simply form a new party and move on. Abi registration for new party don close?

INEC refused to accept the new party.

Amigoos1:
Bro I am ready to drag Tinibu for anything but this one nor follow.

No need dragging PBAT into the ADC crisis. Atiku practically bought the party from Nwosu and from all indications Nwosu pocketed the entire settlement without carrying the rest of the ADC NWC along.
If Atiku wants a real solution, he should engage Gombe the aggrieved former National Vice Chairman currently fighting with Mark for leadership. I am confident Nasiru and his camp would be open to a settlement. There's nothing INEC can do when two factions are fighting in a party.

I'll take it that you're underrating what Tinubu can do as a 'democrat'

You saw how LP became stable the moment PO left the party?

I have absolutely no doubt that INEC and the Judiciary are playing the scripts written by APC.

There are cases that should just be struck out but the Judiciary want it to linger so as to create loop holes to weaken opposition parties. For God's sake, if any party needs protection in a democracy, from the Judiciary it's the opposition

July 2025 -ADC Chairman and NWC resigns, writes to INEC

September 2025 - ADC NEC accepts the resignation and dissolves NWC (all members), writes to INEC

October, 2025 - Nafiru Gombe claims leadership of the party.
(Based on what?) Didn't he resign? Wasn't he among those dissolved by the NEC? Wasn't INEC an observer in all of these processes? Why would the FHC ask David Mark to defend a matter the Supreme Court has already said is an internal affair?

March 2025 - Court of Appeal says INEC should maintain status quo. Meaning stay as you were? Does this mean leave ADC with no leadership?Why would INEC interpret a court judgement without the court that gave the judgement?

Both INEC and the FHC are not neutral not objective in the decisions they have made. No doubt they are dancing to music played by APC

TemporaryHansel:
What? Are you a baby?

I don't know whether he is trying to be politically correct.

Those talking about ADC factions sitting together are acting naive and stupid really because they are ignoring the main root cause. They are assuming that all the crisis in all the parties from PDP to LP to SDP to ADC are a coincidence

As it stands today, no APC person can tell us who the main opposition party is

yarimo:
David mark, rauf, bolaji Abdullahi you can't just appoint yourself from your bedroom in a party you are not a member.

Is this ignorance?

Let's assume you didn't know the entire NWC resigned and handed over to caretaker committee

Even the Judiciary knows this but chooses to pass a useless judgement

CAPdan21:
Just woke up to the news that INEC has Derecognized David Mark led ADC...Until this country burn, Tinibu will not rest...Abeg they should not bother to waste billions holding any farce of an election, ADC is not all that to me but the blatant way they go about to suppress any form of opposition to the Resident Clown in Aso Rock is really something, they claim to have 32 governors so what are they afraid of again?..

What's clear now is that the Judiciary is being used.

So the politicians should sire t their attention there.

Again, until we begin to beat up people nothing will happen.

Tinubu wants to force himself on everyone

raumdeuter:
He is an idit to you because he does not agree with you, You also look like an idiot to him for not agreeing with him

You're poorly informed

I didn't call him an idiot, Cippola did.

If you follow your conversation you will see that he doesn't care that his choices affects others negatively and even he himself

Roland17:
The past month has been an incredibly difficult period for me and my family. Nigeria happened to a beloved and close member of the family and this one hit really hard.

I am still struggling to reconcile the harsh reality that she is gone. Imagine speaking over the phone with someone one day after something that brought extreme joy to the entire family and 2 days later the person is gone. The entire family is devasted and the pain no be here.

A very big thanks to everyone who reached out, I no fit mention everybody, including those who left mentions on the forum, I am really grateful. Once again, death puts a lot of things in perspective for me. Life is too short, do the best you can and find happiness in little things.

Onwu di njo!

Every sad tale leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

I am sorry to hear this and I pray you find comfort.

raumdeuter:
The guy is making sense here. He is saying he wants to support Tinubu and the girl is free to support whoever she wants to

What is bad in that

It's called idiocy

He is an idiot

According to Cipolla law the more idiots we have in society the more problems we have

Carlo Cipolla’s Theory of Stupidity, outlined in his 1976 essay, defines stupid people as those who cause losses to others while gaining nothing (or suffering losses) themselves. Cipolla posits that stupid people are more dangerous than bandits, their number is constantly underestimated, and they exist uniformly across all demographics.

Theflint1:
God rest all the souls that have had to die because of the incompetence of APC and Nigerian policians in general.

So many persons that didn't need to die lose their lives daily because of politicians that just want to stack money they'd never get to spend.

People don't want for much, a simple organized country where rules count for something, that's enough to prevent needless deaths.

Will it be wrong to say that Nigeria as a state has failed?

A country where citizens cannot live is peace and practice their faith?

The government does nothing. Absolutely nothing. The president is only master strategizing about the next election.

GloriousGbola:
You think anyone fighting a war against a more powerful foe is setting a high bar for winning?

So if a 300 pound bully comes into your house to beat you up you will be looking for a high bar method to defeat him?

Do You think this is a movie?

Make I no hear say US and Israel dey commit genocide from your mouth. Thatsall

Realmrsean:
what do you think should be Iran's bar in the war? If not to make sure the USA and Zionist regime doesn't succeed in any of their war plans and goals

Person kpai your supreme leader and his cohorts

Which bar you want set again when war don finish

The only bar is to kpai Trump or Netanyahu, any other bar is over the bar

MorataFC:
Yes, things are hard. Fuel prices have gone up not only in Nigeria but globally , and many people are struggling.
But we should stop exaggerating every story just because it fits our narrative and the circumstances we already have.
No rational person will keep running a daily loss business on daily basis and continue like that consistently

Critical thinking matters. Not every claim is false, and at the same time, not every claim should be accepted without questioning.
How can you go to work on daily basis, and come back with minus 5k, and you still go the following day and continue with that repeatedly?


If we turn every story into unquestioned truth, then we become like zombies.

Instead of stammering why don't you keep quiet and save yourself from unnecessary stupidity?

Very unnecessary.

People's reality is what you're chasing clout with

iamoyindamola:
Shebi 2027 is next year
We should vote him again to get unlimited wailing

“Can you give us the source of the data backing up your claim?” 😭😭😭

Watch this APC supporter on national TV lie that Tinubu created over 7,000 jobs in the Southeast and when challenged he started stammering.

Why do these daft fools lie?

See this one too

Realmrsean:
Today marks one month since the US and Israel launched their war against Iran, which immediately spiralled into one of the largest regional wars the Middle East has ever seen.

One month in, none of the stated goals have been achieved, despite constant statements made by Trump about how much they had supposedly achieved.

Despite over 10,000 strikes being carried out on Iran so far, with hundreds still occurring every single day, Iran is still launching ballistic missiles and drones at Israel and the Gulf States every day,

Iran's leadership remains firmly in place and shows no signs of cracking, despite the death of Khamenei on day 1. There is no major unrest in Iranian cities, and pro-regime demonstrations continue to this day, despite US and Israeli calls for a popular uprising against the regime.

Oil prices continue to remain extremely high, despite efforts by Trump and the US to calm worries of future price rises.

The Houthis officially joined the war on the side of Iran today, which risks additional economic issues in the event of a blockade of the Bab al-Mandab Strait.

Hezbollah continues to fire hundreds of rockets and drones at Israel and IDF positions every single day, and the IDF continues to face continuous ground resistance in southern Lebanon, despite the elimination of most of Hezbollah's leadership and other serious degradations in 2024 and constant strikes against them since then.

The US is being forced to bring in new troop reinforcements and firepower to the Middle East which they did not have in the region before the war, which proves they are facing more resistance than expected and the war timeline is not going to plan.

It is safe to say that despite serious blows to Iran's military capabilities and an obvious U.S. and Israeli superiority in military capacity, the war is not going to plan.

Iran's strategy of launching small numbers of ballistic missiles at a time in order to degrade western interceptor stockpiles while increasing the longevity of their own ballistic missile stockpiles is proving successful. Interception rates are now beginning to sharply drop off, and Israel and Gulf States are beginning to ration their interceptors.

Remember, for the US and Israel to win, they have to achieve regime change and destroy all Iranian military capabilities. For Iran to win, they just have to survive and make it too costly for the US to continue.

There is almost no popular support for this war in the US and the wider Western World, let alone enough required to keep up a prolonged, costly war in an area on the other side of the world.

The coming weeks will be decisive. Trump has two options:

1. Commit to an all-out war by sending in troops for ground operations to unblock the Strait of Hormuz, and possibly begin a full-scale ground operation on mainland Iran too.

2. Make false claims about the success of the war, shift the goalposts, and pull out to save face ahead of the midterm elections. Iran is betting on the second option, but is prepared for the first.

Isn't the bar you set for Iran to win the war shameful and degrading? To win war is to just survive?

germaphobe:
I don't understand how a lot of Arsenal fans don't see this. If you talk about Gyokeres they start thinking you don't know ball.
Big shout out to Spy360 I can now understand a bit of what it felt like defending Havertz everyday. Cus the same fans that criticised kai heavily can't take or understand the little being said about Gyokeres.

Gyokeres cannot be as prolific in Arsenal and it's because of how we play.

I have said this several times.

The way Arteta uses his centre forward and how he positions his players in the attacking transition will not allow the CF score plenty goals because he is also creating chances or spaces.

If you check you will notice that Gyokeres goals output is similar to what Havertz did last season.

That was why I spent time and effort defending the guy. Now eyes don clear.

It's not the player's fault it's how the manager wants to play.

Arteta does not want to rely on a particular player for his goals, he wants his goals to come across the team. Arsenal has more goal scorers in the squad than any other team.

The disadvantage is to the striker but the advantage is to the team.

The fact that zubimendi is not giving us what we want, he should be rested for some games
