Jodera: Loserpool has never been a popular club in Nigeria when compared to other top 4 clubs in England. Loserpool has never boasted of the number of supporters Arsenal, man utd and Chelsea have. They only got few supporters following their 2005 champions league triumph. Viewing centres not showing their matches is because they have very few fans and it is not economical judging by their numbers when compared to other fans. Even in my area they are not more than 4 or 5. Even now that they've won the champions league, their numbers is still paltry. See my point is this: Arsenal has been known to qualify for champions league for years now with nothing to show for it. That is no trophy. We won FA cup in quick succession and you see fans coming out and identifying themselves as Arsenal fan. I've been on nairaland since 2009(with another account) during those periods I just glance tru the european sports thread and don't even bother to comment. However, following the FA cup win I started discussing Arsenal knowing fully well nobody would call us trophyless anymore like Nasri did in the screenshot I posted earlier. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Even our supporters in the UK had to host a website to taunt tottenham . Thats how sweet the feel of winning a trophy is bro. |

sod09:That's final bro, and that's guardiola. We all know guardiola, him no dey joke with spoon, not to talk of trophy. Not discrediting trophy tho, and never will. But like I said, top4 is for relevant, maybe one or two trophies down the line, but with the money in EPL and champions league, sincerely, no coach will trade those two for carabao cup and fa. Even most clubs use 2nd eleven and academy during preliminary stage. That tells you something. |
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by Jodera: 3:00pm On Aug 30, 2019 |
BlueRayDick:True tho, I understand you. That trophy feeling sha. No feeling attached to top4 |

BlueRayDick:I understand your point that going too long without a trophy is a mess on its own, but UCL football can be a good consolation and get us up if utilized very well. I understand most Arsenal fans will not want any trophy slip away from us since those trophyless taunting days.. It is why losing finals hurts me deep. 1 Like |

Jodera:you'll be surprised fans opinion will be divided on this matter, Even Auba and Laca said at the start of the season, their ambition is to get back to UCL that they so want to listen to that Anthem from the dressing room again.. I also like trophies, going by what we faced from rival fans, but in recent times, UCL football has looked so lucrative that fans and players of teams like Lyon,Genk and Zenith take group stage games like a big colourful memorable festivals.. Also, personally, I prefer memorable nights like Liverpool's 4-0 at Anfield, Spurs at Etihad and Ajax etc to carabao and fa cup.. Till date, I don't remember the day I felt better as an Arsenal fan than these days: Madrid 0-1Arsenal at Bernabue Arsenal 2-0 Juve at Highbury Ac milan 0-2 Arsenal San siro Arsenal 2-1 barca Emirates Those were my best nights, the joy I felt supersedes winning our recent trophies except when we ended the drought. |
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by Jodera: 4:16pm On Aug 30, 2019 |
Fkhalifa:Yeah, exactly. Also, I remember how people were angry at Emery for bottling the top4 cos he prioritized Europa over top4. So you can imagine how those same people will call for sack if he continually finishes 6th but win fa cup and carabao cup consistently. There's a reason both van gaal and conte was sacked even after winning the fa cup but lost the top4 position,: board no go send you sef... Winning trophy is good, no doubt, in fact it's great, but mehn, for players and coaches alike, been in champions league and playing with your mates is all where top players wanna be...and that can only be achievable with top 4(except of course you sneak through Europa league). If they want to give more relevance to carabao and fa cup now, let them just say the winner will qualify for champions league... Hmm, you go see as klopp go dey put firminho, salah, mane van dijk and all against Coventry. Lol Also, one thing I noticed that have made Wenger stayed that long was because of his consistent top4 finish even tho he didn't win much trophies latter yrs unlike his beginning tenure. The day it was clear he dropped out of top4 was the day d board have to part ways with him, even tho he had a s/f match against athletico in Europa. A potential trophy still didn't save his job. |

While I am not sure where I stand on this issue because both have strong points, it is important for us not to forget that the excitement of winning the FA Cup trophies was not in isolation of qualifying and playing the UCL. The consecutive qualifications for the UCL increased the value of winning the FA Cup. If we win the FA Cup this season and fail to qualify for the UCL, I can assure you there would be a lot disgruntled and disappointed fans because this is not a Europa League squad anymore especially if everyone stays healthy but if by chance we win the FA Cup and qualify for the UCL, it would be a greater achievement and Emery knows this. Again, I am divided about it and just making a point for both sides to consider. |

Jodera:Succinctly put. When Luis Suarez wanted to force Arsenal move for UCL football, only then I realised what UCL can attract. You've said it all. |
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by BlueRayDick: 4:46pm On Aug 30, 2019 |
Fkhalifa: I understand what champions league football means to the players we parade and to the Financials of the team. I will never ever assume FA cup is better than getting to the semi's of UCL, but the issue is when last did we get to that stage of the competition. Even with our current team, if we are to feature in the UCL this year it is only by miracle we will go past the quarter finals. This is my grouse and that is why I would prefer us winning the FA cup in the interim rather than competing in all the 4 competition and end up winning none. As regards ur point about not knowing when last u felt really elated about arsenal like when the wọn against Madrid, Milan, barca etc in the UCL; bàbà the last time me I felt like that was that FA cup final. I'm a complete gentleman(the kind they call officeman on the street). If I tell u that day immediately Ramsey scored I don't even know how, but I off my cloth throway am, I ran metres and shook almost all arsenal supporters in sight that day. The last few minutes of the match na better beer I dey sip dey shout upandan. Till date I still wonder what came over me. Baba cup victory dey sweet no be lie |
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by BlueRayDick: 4:49pm On Aug 30, 2019 |
Roland17: You are right. It won't hurt winning a cup this season and end up qualifying for UCL. That would be a successful campaign |
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by Jodera: 4:53pm On Aug 30, 2019 |
Fkhalifa:Exactly bro. That's was really my fear going into this season, thank Goodness for the wisdom and business acumen of sanehelli and his crew for a good transfer business. |
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by Fkhalifa(m): 4:54pm On Aug 30, 2019 |
Roland17:Exactly, both will bring excitement and are almost as equal or a bit bigger than the other. |
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by Fkhalifa(m): 5:02pm On Aug 30, 2019 |
BlueRayDick: Cup victory sweet true true. Especially when you beat a rival in a dramatic way like that Ramsey's goal, That day should be on par with those UCL nights... The most hurtful thing is being tagged trophyless, I had mini Malaria when Obafemi's Birmingham denied us Carling cup. Shame no gree me enter campus that year.. I lowkey like trophies than exiting UCL in round of 16. |
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by Spy360(m): 7:01pm On Aug 30, 2019 |
Order of preference 1. Europa league 2. Top 4 3. FA cup 4. Carabao |
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by Fkhalifa(m): 7:28pm On Aug 30, 2019 |
Spy360:Hmmm Truly Europa is double glory, but I feel its easier through the league route. Some tough teams can drop from UCL and come be a bone in our throat. |
