The difference between Ian and the rest of UK black sportsmen of his generation is the honesty of his appraisal. No other person has made it that clear what Pele meant to black people globally.
I’m a white guy & Pele inspired me. I am not sure why we have to bring race into everything because people are people and talent is talent. Best player of all time imo.
@@kevind6956 wdym you're not sure? Nothing is more annoying than people who think not acknowledging the issue makes it somehow dissappear. Besides that, I get your point.
@@kevind6956 it can be hard to see white privilege when you have it. You would have had loads of role models who looked like you, at a time when what you looked like mattered.
Ironically the poor black people of Brazil don't necessarily hold him in the same regard. Pele is the man that sat silent through a military dictatorship and choose making alliances with powerful people rather than fighting for his people. But hey who cares what brasilians think
The former king of Norway - King Olav (1903-1991), was a great Arsenal fan. He was as often as he could at Highbury. He would have loved to see Ødegaard captain his favorite team.
I can't wait for tomorrow's game, as a toon fan win, lose or draw will show if Newcastle can show up in the big games to challenge or not. I think it's going to be one hell of a game. Oh and also the toon probs ain't going to challenge for the title so id rather see Arsenal win it over man city.
Eddie Nkeitah just needs to keep doing what he’s doing. He’s not the cleanest of players but he’s effective at what he does. Don’t forget, Who where Rooney & Rashford before the got a chance & scored against Arsenal? Nkeitah is already Eng U21 record GS 🤷🏾♂️
I’m not afraid because Arteta will show them just one video where they outplayed and beat us last season to miss on the champions league spot meanwhile they were not going anywhere at that moment on the league table. Revenge time. Come onnnnnn gunners 🔥
Newcastle have been amazing but Arsenal have been more amazing this season. The momentum is with the Gunners and that’s what will make the difference going into this game. Arsenal will not be bullied! They are so clinical and balanced all over is a nightmare to face this Arsenal! COYG!
Is it just me..but who else has noticed that Newcastle play better against the bigger teams? Wish this match was a title decider but it clearly is a measuring stick for Newcastle to see how far we can go in the premier league. I have huge respect for Arsenal the only team to go undefeated in the premier league, I don't think it will ever happen in this century. As a Newcastle fan I wish the players all the best for the game, just go out there and express yourselves just don't lose that should be the message from Eddie
me too i do really think Newcastle will finish top four in terms of the way they are playing they are well balanced i am Arsenal fan i hope we get the three points, but it will tough one good game to watch
Bizarre Pep isn’t playing Cancelo because they miss him playing inverted. Absolutely amazing Arsenal have seven points more considering how young the team is. What a job Arteta is doing.
I presume that Pep has seen the upcoming schedule and who City is playing, and has decided to give Joao a break because he is integral to how they play from the back. Just about guarantee he will start, barring injury, all City's games in this block of matches up till the end of January.
All the pundits said it would be tough against Brighton; it wasn't. Against Newcastle United, wait and see. Arsenal mean business no matter the opponent.
Newcastle may have the best defense in the league but also remember Arsenal have also scored in all the games they have played this season. It will be a wonderful match.
Nketiah has the ability to be the Arsenal starter. His touch, speed and work rate are top drawer. He just needs the confidence to realise how good he is and it appears that is coming. PS Love Wrighty what a player and what a man.
Damn,I became an arsenal fan because it had such a black man team 😭, not to get racey but at the time it just made sense they've always been a club of the people
I thought Arsenal could do it until I saw that Brighton game Arteta was acting like there were 4 games left. It was the 16th game. Effectively mid November. Diving for the finish line way too early
Can't wait for this .. Newcastle have nothing to lose there up there on team sprint and partly skills. I say go out and get stuck in to them upset the apple cart .. up the mags la la la GEORDIES
Pele deserves the accolades he played at atime of racial bias but his story shows focus and humility is the master piece to greatness, as aboy I learnt about Kanu at inter his simplicity and coolness playing the game made me love the game, Kanu rarely played with bias against any ome, thats wat makes players like Pele from videos I watched.
Do not underestimate newcastle united. Any result could be,it will be tough game. Arsenal in advantage because Emirates. But not even 1 seconds sleep will be punishing from by newcastle players.
It s abig test for Nketiah and once he gets it right, he has reason to get more minutes even when big stars are around him. We all know Edie as a techinical finisher, his goal at Brighton explains that.
Newcastle will not be an easy game, despite our 100% home record. They've got so many dangerous players so our defence needs to be on it 24/7! But I've got so much faith in our team, the boys are playing incredible stuff.
Just have a look at the statistics of the invincibles during the 2003/2004 season.... They had conceded 12 draws ! So, no reason to be moved by the 2nd draw of the season ! To date, this team is much more efficient than the invincibles ! To meditate !
This is going to be a very interesting game. Arsenals form at home is class but Newcastles away form is also! As for more players breaking the deadlock, Almiron, trippier, willock, Joelinton, longstaff, wilson 🤷🏻♂️ we have plenty players in this side scoring goals…lazy punditry
Lazy punditry? Have we watched the same video? I haven't heard anyone slag Newcastle off. They're third in the league for a reason. But then again, Arsenal are 1st for a reason too. No Arsenal fan worth their salt is sure of the win tomorrow, Newcastle and Arsenal are playing best football this season. I think Arsenal edges it, but I wouldn't mind a point either as Newcastle are flying high at the moment.
Apart from Almiron and Wilson ,who else has more than 7 g/a this season in your team... No more than 1 has created 20+ chances from open play in the league... Quit embarrassing yourself...
@@Yvolean how am I embarrassing myself? He’s said Arsenal will win it because they have more players capable of scoring goals when in fact that’s just not true, have a day off kid 👍🏻
In all fairness Asm is Newcastle open play creator. But howe plays burn as left and he never overlaps which makes easy to gang up on asm. Longstaff has good work rate but never offers anything else. Arsenal is deadly with cut through passes.
@@Paul-pj5sz I don't know about arsenal winning it, but his stats are on point, Arsenal have more scoring outlets... Not just scoring, Arsenal have more than 4 players that have created 20+ chances from open play this season... Like Newcastle but you have to be realistic...
Pele is the GOAT.... The debate is over... He not only was the complete player .... He was powerful... Intelligent... Athletic.... Speed .... Agile.... All the skills he had was way ahead of everyone ... And brave... considering that in his time the skillful players were brutally fouled like what Portugal did to him in the 66 WC...and South American football was brutal...the ball, the conditions were far more tougher than in Messi's time.. And most important of all...he was a great sportsman... Loved by his rivals... Watch the Maradona TV show...where Pele appeared as a guest of Maradona... and you will we see how much admiration and love Maradona had for Pele.... Franz Beckenbauer and Cruyff said that Pele was the GOAT...and that's good enough for me... RIP Pele...we love you... You have achieved immortality... There is only one Pele... 🙏🏽 Love and peace... 🙏🏽
The question is who gets OUT of Arsenal's 11 right now with the new potential signings. It's difficult when they've been having such a strong chemistry. Xhaka maybe? I don't really know.
@@birukassefa9458 so you take out Odegaard for any of the midfielders we are supposedly getting? Or are we bringing substitutes for those three players? I doubt someone like Tielemans would sign just to be benched behind Xhaka, even if I think Arsenal's midfield is pretty strong atm
@@nymphantine7361 well if it is between odegaard and xhaka i have to say we have to buy a good replacement for xhaka (like tielemans) considering we already have fabio viera
Pele was not only a role model and icon for black people, he went further by being the person every nationality/colour wanted to be. RIP to the greatest who will ever grace the game.
If City have injuries to Haaland and KDB they will have far bigger problems than people think. City’s style of play this season has changed from previous seasons. Previous seasons, literally every player is encouraged to try and score at City, this season they've sold two prolific goal contributors and it seems every player is now asked to primarily feed Haaland
I beg to differ....KDB has always been the centre of creation in the team, but Jack can certainly fill in that creative role. Look at how essential to Villa's attack he was. Also look at how his positional play has changed from city as compared to when he was at villa, he also has the most carries to the opposition box.
Newcastle needs a true 9. Arsenal have several. Both teams keep shape better than any other PL teams. In awe of what Howe has done with Newcastle is beyond amazing. How Artetas system is beyond the league this year. He has the system and now the players have fully bought in. 2-0 Arsenal over Newcastle, which means Newcastle will probably win.
@@MultiJd4 ofcourse I'm not expecting any wins on paper, but the team we have we have to battle all 90 minutes to get results, on our day we can beat any team right now. Newcastle is gonna be a tough test for us.
EDDIE Howe need to not make the mistakes of Leeds Match , u have urgently to start with Saint Maxima and give him a bit more freedom to use his destructive explosive dribbling and speed to drible and shoot hard and play on his side well , and u have to start with Wilson and in the middle Joelington Guimaraes and Murphy on the right side , and Wilson -Saint Maxima-Almeron in the front ,this is the best for Newcastle if they wanna win
Respect our legends but Pele should be Dr Pele or Sir Pele. His skills spread the game world wide like wildfire, he didn't only carried teams on his back but he carried the game as well.
Is argue newcastle score goals also, people forget to mention that, Leicester 3-0, Fulham 1-1, Brentford 5.1, villa 4.0, Southampton 4-1, scored 3 against City, were no mugs, it will be an interesting game newcatsle are often better when absorbing pressure and break out, Wilson will come back Into the team and I think people who aren't a newcastle fan don't realise what he brings to our team we dominated Leeds and played badly no Wilson no Saint maximin, if they both start vs arsenal it could be very interesting we're due a good result against arsenal, and our defence knows we need to protect our goal for the first 20mimutes bruno in midfield will be a good battle vs odeegard
@@lucasdickinson1382 I take your point. Newcastle do score goals, I think arsenal On a whole are more prolific in that area. Obviously when Wilson is fit it’s a whole new ball game for Newcastle because he does so well when he’s fit. I’m excited to see how Wilson and isak play together in the near future. When isak is fit will he be playing on the left instead of maxi? Or on the right instead of miggy? Or does Eddie play two up front?. He’s going to have test a few tactics because it could disrupt what Newcastle have right at the minute.
The commentators are idiot , I guess they don't know football maybe , Newcastle is the most agressive team playing on the front foot i ever seen and they score crazy a lot , and Arsenal also have closely the same style playing of Newcastle, so, it will be the most explosive entertaining match of this season , the only thing that can make Newcastle lose is the players choices ,sometimes Eddie how fail a bit in his choices like in the last match of Leeds, he should make Saint Maxima play and play on his side well , Saint Maxima and Almiron are the Keys, but playing with Almiron without Saint Maxima then u lost a lot of ur potential and ur explosive quick agressivity on the goal
Mate Arsenal are still straight ahead of new castle , they possibly don’t have a single world class player on their squad where arsenal have at least 5-6 world class players. I think Arsenal will bully them and smother than all over the field.
I love messi he is the greatest player I ever see with my eyes, but as a black man , the clips and stats of Pele show that he is the greatest player ever
@@CactusClai thats the talk we make all along that messi just play for Barcelona pele won the World cup at 17 scoring 6 goals plus a winner and have three World cup messi Aint no way near closed to Goat status with is Barcelona stats when refree protect him from tackles look at pele when They literally try to break is foot multiply times
If we don’t sign a replacement for Thomas Partey, we’ll really struggle. I hope he doesn’t get injured. If we win the league is a big achievement and a bonus and if not , qualifying top 4 is a big progress.
It pains a lot that we couldn’t make to the champions league this season because we lost to Newcastle, I am hoping that Arsenal will teach them a lesson tonight. About Ian wright, I just have pure love ❤️ to him. He has played for other clubs, but the love he has for Arsenal ist out of this world. I admire his honesty and I am just hoping to meet him one day. Legend 🙌🏾
@@franky8987 🙄 the hand ball hit his elbow Dan burns shirt pull maybe but both had each other’s shirt if you want to blame someone blame the useless ref you will find 90% of the reds that do Newcastle games are shit they don’t want arsenal to win or Newcastle to be successful in any way
What the media doesn't talk about enough or don't talk at all is that at 17Pele playing among the crwod fullnof racisn,calling him every racual slur they can put out to hear Pele.-st w.cup as a boy how challenging it would be mentally as a boy with bang knee.
@@user-uk4ky1ks2s Arsenals attack is fluent and cannot be stopped at the moment. Everyone upfront is inform. I'm not an Arsenal fan, but it is the toughest attack to play against, even a level better than Citys who lacks flexability. And ofc the Ars fanbase is going crazy rn, the stadium carries the Teams performance. Newcastle are not quite there yet to really compete
