for arsenal it could be when our children are adults

PRXPERT:
never wanted to reply you but I have tell you this, in early 80s my uncle was still in University of ibadan, him and his eastern brothers went to watch a game between 3sc and bendel insurance, the left to the stadium so early because they don't want to miss seats, they got there and were disappointed because they thought it was in enugu where stadium get filled very early! so what I am saying is the SW don't show support to their local leagues! despite their numerical strength in media today.. so you don't have any excuse on why you do very bad in npfl!

kjhova:


interesting point you raised. Enyimba did have a shitty logo too until they revamped their identity last year and introduced the lovely elephant head logo. Most NPFL club logos are horrible, to put it mildly but am sure as they become more media active and compete to sell merchandise, they will be forced to improve.

To add another interesting topic, why do we have few privately owned clubs in the league and why do the government owned clubs tend to do better?

Also, how much do you think it will cost an owner to run a club for one season and what is the possible returns for the same year?

aadvark:
well, the nigerian league began began as a largely government-controlled setup. there were few private owned clubs, still the same today though the numbers have improved.
and i think the government owned teams do better cos naturally, the government has more spending power.

InyinyaAgbaOku:

Your west side clubs have not been making waves, they are dying.
Quoting what shooting stars did in decades back cannot revive your clubs either. 3SC is not part of the equation at all as we speak.
Better start working on them, it's your type that complain Igbos are too plenty in Super eagles but you will not grow talents Now.

masseratti:
Apparently you got my point wrong, no there are more night clubs in enugu than in Ibadan but an average Yoruba man has two parties, owanbe to attend to every weekend, am not saying its a good thing tho, and the state Government are not even interested in funding the clubs.

InyinyaAgbaOku:

Imagine. How can parties replace a whole football? Football encompasses employment, fun and recreation.
Let's say it's all aboit interest

nedu2000:
I just chose to forgive u for this very utterance

masseratti:
different strokes for different folks, but really tbh government shouldnt foot the bill of clubs, it should be more of the fans thing or group of sport enthusiasts

InyinyaAgbaOku:

Nothing like different strokes. Party times must not clash with match times.
And if the people are more interested in parties, where will the fans and enthusiasts come from?

nedu2000:
After waiting 32yrs? With this I know that arsenal will soon win the uefa champions' league

aadvark:
some nicknames are meant to be wierd, unusual, and by extension, unique. consider 'red devils'. its not supposed to mean the devil is red, it just conveys how dangerous the team can be to other teams. now look at 'flying antelopes' again. you know how fast an antelope runs, now imagine that it also flies. it says about the team that they are either extremely fast in their style of play, or that they lead the other teams being antelopes with the rare attribute of flight. moreover, the nickname is coined from their logo.

well talking about logos, some npfl teams have really stupid logos. rangers' and enyimba's are splendid, but i really disgusted with kano pillars'. what do you think?

masseratti:
seems like comprehension is difficult for you, if you dont know much about Nigerian club football league, rest it please, all rangers players are not from enugu, so why are you transfixed on it, government in ideal world do not run football clubs, our league is plagued with government officials bribing refs to secure 3 points at home to save their Jobs, south west Govt won't play ball on that, you and kano pillars should take hold of that abeg, its nice that private clubs are coming up, it will only get better.

Evergreen4:
The God that did it for Rangers after waiting for 32 years will also do it for arsenal this season.


Not an arsenal fan though, but I want them to have a feel of the trophy.

Even if na rubber cup, make them still carry this season

InyinyaAgbaOku:


Ok, it's Now about Alleged bribery? Shame on you. Zuzu out

FILEBE:


Hmnn. I see your point of view. Logos? Packaging is the main reason NPL interest me less at times. Just negodu the logo below. It wont pass the group stage of a logo contest. If NPL is rebranded and packaged well, forgerit Uefa, english league et all will play a second fiddle to our interest.

masseratti:
oga nothing is alleged in that, I know alot of people in the east are capable in funding a football club e.g Udoji United Nwayawun fc and now We have Fc Ubah, the ish is govt in sw is not interested, am honestly happy for rangers they deserve it, if that is not okay for you, na you know, a Yoruba man happy for an eastern Club and you are still worked up, jeez.

you are right, TV and title earnings improved this season but to make it enticing to private owners, it should be more . then d government should sell all the clubs controlled by them. deres no way our league wil improve if that doesnt happen. as u know, there's no successful league with a government owned club.
next is aesthetics, yes what we see when we watch the league. we cant expect fans to be pleased with watching their team play on a grass-here-grass-there kind of pitch. they should set a standard of the quality of stadium u must have to compete.
next is media coverage. have u noticed that each time our league's matches are shown on tv, the visuals are poor? sometimes the camera doesnt even follow the ball. that needs to change. with good cameras showing good football in beautiful stadiums, trust me, people will watch our league.
next is commentary. well its under media but i had to separate it cos we have a very big problem here. we need quality commentators and thats that.

InyinyaAgbaOku:


You expect me to fold my hands as you issue out those blasphemies?
Read all your posts on this issue: from thinking the east doesn't have much entertainment Centres other than football, to thinking we don't do parties to the fact our govts rig points.
Whether you are happy or not, don't insinuate false things to make your selves feel better over your dying clubs. If Rangers had keyed into all these petty insinuations, they wouldn't have woken up.
Football unites Nigeria, it shouldn't be a case of yoruba man happy for Rangers. One of the biggest did hard patrons of Rangers is a yoruba man, so it's immaterial.
Let's just leave this issue to rest

masseratti:
you will always hate no matter what whether you fold your arms ooo or you put it on your head na you know, av being civil enough explaining things to you, why. Sw clubs are not successful, you still want to gloat abi, oya am slowly cocking my arsenal to give you what you deserve, I am yourba and am happy for rangers that won, if you not cool with that please don't drink water again today, infact for the next 7days.

masseratti:
which bribery is alleged? When 90% of home games are won, is there any other league in the world that u see that? read my

InyinyaAgbaOku:

As if they don't play matches in your own places.

masseratti:
oooh no they don't, we are too busy watching telemundo for that.

InyinyaAgbaOku:


Good thing you didn't find another woeful excuse. I am not into tribalism, but I will debunk lies. So far, that's all I have done. The fact you bring up diff excuses each time is what I found funny. But since you didn't bring up any jab at the East in this post, you can have your peace.
