WENGER SPEAKS ABOUT ARSENAL'S VICTORY AND THE CHARACTER OF CHAMPIONS
Wenger at his best!
http://www.080football.com/wenger-speaks-about-the-win-giroud-and-the-character-of-champions/

Lets use our imagination and assume that some of the football clubs were students in campus. Lets describe the kind of students they are.

BARCELONA would be a beautiful student with amazing grades, envied and loved by everyone, but hated by no one except a class mate known as Real Madrid.

Also Read: MESSI IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD. BUT WHO IS THE SECOND? NEYMAR OR RONALDO?
http://www.080football.com/messi-is-the-best-in-the-world-but-who-is-the-second-neymar-or-ronaldo/

ARSENAL would be a 4 hundred level student, who sits on the 4th bench, in the 4th row, with his four friends. Who always remind everyone that he doesn’t come first because he doesn't buy grades (trophies) like his fellow class mate known as Chelsea.

REAL MADRID would be that rich student who loves changing his teacher every semester because he got bored with them..

MANCHESTER UNITED would be a student that had a great teacher that helped him a lot. But after the teacher left, he failed badly because the new teacher,the old good one (Ferguson) recommended was not good enough. The problem is, the teacher (Van Gaal) who replaced the teacher who wasn't good enough (Moyes), thinks he is better than all the previous teachers because he was a first class student at the University of Bayern Munich,Uni Barca and Uni Ajax. That was before he got transferred to Manchester University.

http://www.080football.com/5-most-exppensive-teenage-footballers-ever/

MANCHESTER CITY would be that ajebutta student from a rich royal family who buys the best cars (players), has the best equipment, does well in class, but never do well when he goes for Inter-University competitions known as the Champions League.

BAYERN would be that rich student in a poor school called Bundesliga who knows how to do everything. Including buying off grades from his closest competitor known as Dortmund.

LIVERPOOL would be the student of history who thinks he is a genius because he had wonderful grades in his secondary school days. He never walks alone!

STRAIGHT FROM FIFA: CRISTIANO RONALDO, NEYMAR AND MESSI NAMED AS FINAL THREE IN THE FIFA BALLON D’OR AWARD FOR BEST PLAYER OF 2015. http://www.080football.com/cristiano-ronaldo-neymar-and-messi-named-as-final-three-in-the-fifa-ballon-dor-award-for-best-player-of-2015/

SOUTHAMPTON would be that smart, but poor student who does the best home works, but then sell it to his course mates competing for the same position in the same class.

LEICESTER CITY is that good, but poor student who got transferred from a local University (Championship) to an International University known as the Premier League. He is giving the International Students a run for their money

ALSO READ: RONALDO IS LA LIGA’S THIRD ALL TIME GOAL SCORERS..GUESS WHO THE FIRST IS.
http://www.080football.com/ronaldo-is-la-ligas-third-all-time-goal-scorers-guess-who-the-first-is/

CHELSEA would be the new student who is hated by his class mates because he has a rich sugar daddy known as Abramovich and an arrogant father known as Jose Mourinho. He also comes first in his class from time to time. His haters loves shouting his failures and whispering his success like they did when he was top of the class a semester ago.

Test your imagination by telling us what will happen if football clubs were students. Lets have fun!

FIFA annouced aerlier today day Messi, Ronalod and Neymar ane the final three contenders for the next Ballon D'OR.

The last seven years of this award have been dominated by Messi and Ronaldo who have won it 4 and 3 times respectively.

Popular ex-dutch international, Edgar Davids, had some amazing words to describe the situation and quality of these three players shortlisted as final three. Here are his words;

Messi has a God-given talent which sets him apart from the others". "Messi is just an anomaly, he can dribble, he can score, he can pass, he has the vision, he understands the game…

"Ronaldo is just an athlete. He works so hard and back to back, he is always there.

"But if you work hard can you be like Messi? No, that's impossible. "Can you be like Ronaldo? Yes, to a certain extent."

When Asked if Neymar was ready to replace Messi and Ronaldo in the future Ballons d'Or to be at the pinnacle of world football, Davids added: "No, he is not ready, (but) he is almost there."

Who do you think is the favourite to win it come January, 2016. What do you think about Edgar Davids opinion on the players in question?

Let's hear your take on the matter.... also got to www.080football.com for your fresh, entertaining and inspiring football posts.

1 ENYIMBA
They won Aba Warriors 1 goal to nothing in a local derby to put one of their hands on the title. The good thing is; they won away from home.

2 ARSENAL
They are on fire at the moment. Same points and just bellow City on goal difference. This is looking like a season to remember for the North London club.

3 LIVERPOOL
Winning Chelsea 3-1 in Stamford Bridge is a remarkable achievement. They can use this win to lunch their season.

4 FIORENTINA ,JUVENTUS AND AC MILAN
Fiorentina did a good 4-1 win, while Juventus scored a cool 2-1 against a determined Torino. Thanks to Pogba and Cuadrado’s late winner. In form Carlos Barca scored the 3rd goal to give AC Milan a big away win against Lazio, who have not been beaten at home this season. Milan won 1-3.

6 IDEYE

9 STANLEY OHAWUCHI
He has 4 goals in 2 games for Wedi Degla FC. Wadi Degla is a club in Egypt if you are wondering where it is. Though he doesnt play for a huge European club, but we remember the ‘little’ things.

10 GOLDEN EAGLETS
They did well to win 3-0 against a good Brazilian side. We placed this on our number 10 list because this competition is not about trophies, but about bringing up talents.

How una dey?

The bundesliga is a very interesting and difficult league to play and play well if you know what we mean. and for this man, this African to be there setting and breaking records deserves to be celebrated by 080football. Ladies and gentlemen, we present Pierre Emerick Aubameyang
Pierre was born in Tours France on 18th june 1989. He got his first big shot when he won the Youth Champions league with Ac Milan. He was also the highest goal scorer of the same competition.

JUST FOR THE RECORDS: CHAMPIONS LEAGUE WINNERS SINCE THE DAY THE FIRST FINALS WAS PLAYED!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO SOME TEAMS OVER THE YEARS, YOU MAY WANT TO ASK… Read full story: http://www.080football.com/just-for-the-records-champions-league-winners-since-the-day-the-first-finals-was-played-what-happened-to-some-teams-over-the-years-you-may-want-to-ask/

His stay at Milan was cut short as he was loaned out for not being good enough for the San siro outfit.
Aubameyang went back to France and started playing in the ligue 1. He played for different clubs; Dijon FC, Lille OSC, AS Monaco and Saint Etienne.

With his beautiful style of play, his speed and in depth ability to score goals, it was only a matter of time before Jorgen Klopp snatched him to Dortmund in the 2013/14 season and the Gabonese speedster did not disappoint on his debut as he scored a hat trick in the 4-0 victory against Fc Augsburg in the first match of the 2013/14 season. He also played an important role by scoring a goal in the 2-0 trashing of Bayern Munich to clinch the German super cup title.

WE ARE NOT SCORING GOALS!!! LVG LAMENTS.Read full story: http://www.080football.com/we-are-not-scoring-goals-lvg-laments/

He has continued to impress since then and has not slowed down ever since. This season he's already setting records, scoring 13goals in 10 matches and also being the first player in the bundesliga to score in 10 consecutive matches. This is a feat the Robbens and the Lewandowskis of this world are yet to achieve. He is a star to watch any day anytime.

Join 080football in the celebration of African stars as we celebrate Pierre Emerick Aubameyang

The way our boys handled those Australians ennnnn.... Itz only God that will judge them shaaaa....haba!!! a whole 6-0 unto wetin.... na only dem waka come??

Louis Van Gaal expressed his concern about his sides lack of punch in front of goal after loosing on penalties to Middlesbrough and consequently kicked out of the capital one cup

Manchester United lost 3-1 on penalties after their goalless draw in which Wayne Rooney Michael Carrick and Ashley Young were unable to convert from the spot and setting the record of `England’s goalless hatrick’

HERE’S WHAT VAN GAAL SAID

“Of course its a concern to miss chances. In football the only thing that matters is a goal. We have played two matches 0-0 and could have scored in both of them”

“We had easy chances in front of goal and their goalkeeper. When you don’t finish them it becomes very difficult to win games”

“You can say We were unlucky because we had good chances but you have to force the luck also. We didn’t do that because we didn’t score. But I know in football it can change”

Sorry for the topic if you are the (too) contemporary and cosmopolitan type who never want to hear anything about black magic. But we don’t want to shy away from this topic because it’s been around for a long time. Lets shed some light on this topic by reporting what happened in 2009. Please permit us to share it:

In Tanzania, the two big teams Yanga and Simba were fined $500 each for using juju (jaz) during their fixture in 2009. The then secretary general of Football Association of Tanzania Mwina Kaduguda told the press.

MESSI COULD LEAVE BARCELONA FOR THE PREMIER LEAGUE… WITH MAN CITY LEADING THE CHASE

“These are our biggest clubs and their strong beliefs in witchcraft can set a bad example for upcoming teams,” he said.

“We have fined both teams $500 and we are also going to start a campaign to educate all the teams in the league that juju has no place in football.”

Another sad episode took place during the 2002 Africa Cup of Nations, the former goalkeeper of Cameroun, Thomas Nkono was busted by the authorities; “burying bones under the turf and spraying a strange elixir, in order to cast a spell on the playing field’ before a crucial semi final match with Zambia. He was arrested and detained by the police.

IS COSTA THE NEW SUAREZ OF THE EPL? WE THINK SO!!
http://www.080football.com/is-costa-the-new-suarez-of-the-epl-we-think-so/

Let’s bring it to Nigeria. One of our staff was privileged to discuss the tactics of a game during GloNPFL games. We won’t call names out of respect. But the coach gave this reason for subbing off his best player, who happened to be his goalkeeper

COACH: My guy no be small thing oo. I shock when my goalkeeper catch back pass. But the shock no reach Weitin happen next. Him miss the ball when him want trap am. Na God help us as both balls hit the bar. Then I made my subs sharp sharp because I no say THEM DON DO AM.

We have seen or heard managers doing one superstitious thing or the other before games. Or changing an important player because of the superstitious suspicion that he could be playing under a remote control. But does it work?

Arsene Wenger celebrated his birthday on Thursday, the 22nd of October. Read this 6 things you don't know about him . Enjoy!!

1. WENGER PLAYED FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME. NOT FOR THE MONEY!
Wenger had the opportunity to play for bigger and richer clubs when he started his career. But he choose to start his trade with Mutzig, a third division side in 1969 because they were most famous for playing "best amateur football" in Alsace. Although he was an important member of the squad, Wenger had to wait a bit longer before turning professional.

2 HE STARTED AS A DEFENDER!
It's too difficult to fathom that a coach with much attacking intent like Wenger started as a defender. He played as a sweeper-defender in all of his clubs. Back in Mutzig, he developed a special relationship with Max Hild, the club's manager. Since then, Hild persisted on bringing him to every club he has managed later on.Only in his last three years as a footballer, the French expert started playing with professionals in RC Strasbourg who won the Ligue 1 title in 1978. He retired very soon after winning the league, at the age of 32.

3 FIRST JOB AS A MANAGER
Just three years after ending his professional career, Wenger was ready for new challenges, He became a manager. He joined Ligue 2 side Cannes as an assistant manager in 1983. There, he was helping first-team boss Jean-Marc Guillou, who later became the manager of Cote d'Ivoire.
Because of Aldo Platini, Michel's father, Wenger became the coach of Nancy - Lorraine thanks to his recommendations. Later on, it wasn't so good for the Frenchman as the club got relegated in the first season under him.

4 COACHING IN JAPAN
In January 1995, he had signed a contract with a Japanese club Nagoya Grampus Eight. Boro Primorac, the ex-Valenciennes manager became his assistant for the second time, as they were already co-operating in AS Monaco.
The duo that is working together even today has led the team to winning the Emperor's Cup in 1995, a national cup competition in the Land of the Rising Sun. Wenger also recieved the J.League Manager of the Year award and it was just a few months before joining Arsenal.


FIFA UNVEILS NEW TECHNOLOGY DEPLOYED TO FIGHT AGE CHEATING: CHAI, WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO AFRICANS AND SOUTH AMERICANS?
http://www.080football.com/fifa-unveils-new-technology-deployed-to-fight-age-cheating/


5 LINGUAL SKILLS.
One of the most important things for the Arsenal manager is the knowledge of languages. While some managers barely speak two, Wenger knows six different languages - French, German, English, Spanish, Italian and some Japanese. This is huge!

6 TRANSFER FACTS AND FIGURES .
The Arsenal boss is famous for signing great youngsters from their academy. But, how do they get there? The club has got football camps all over the world and scouts who spend lots of time searching for new talents.

Francesc Fabregas, Jon Toral, Hector Bellerin...La Masia was their home before Wenger decided to bring them to London with him. Was it Wenger's authority in the Premier League or great transfer skills? We think its a bit of both qualities.


5 PLAYERS WHO ARE TOO GOOD FOR THEIR CLUBS
http://www.080football.com/5-epl-players-who-are-too-good-for-their-clubs/


Also, he loves signing players from his home league, Ligue 1. Some of the players who were brought from France are Olivier Giroud, Mathieu Flamini and Yaya Sanogo. He got these last two for free. Many managers should look up to him.

We think you have to look up to him. Life is beyond trophies. We have to learn loyalty like Wenger. Happy birthday to the professor once again.
What are your thoughts about these feats..

VAN GAAL INSULTS AND BLAMES MARTIAL: WE WERE TOO SLOW AND MARTIAL WAS STUPID! BUT I AM VERY HAPPY WITH HIS PERFORMANCE
Read full story on http://www.080football.com/van-gaal-insults-and-blames-martial-we-were-too-slow-and-martial-was-stupid/

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal didnt hide any emotions when he accused Anthony Martial of gifting CSKA Moscow a Champions League point because of his 'stupid' mistake in the Russian capital.

But Van Gaal didnt see the diving header Martial scored to grab a 1-1 draw for United at the Khimki Arena, but the Frenchman was to blame for gifting the Russians the lead.

For those who didnt watch the game, Martial raised his right arm going into a challenge with Mario Fernandes in the 14th minute and the ball struck it, leaving the referee with no option but to point to the penalty spot.

6 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM YESTERDAY’S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE MATCHES!
http://www.080football.com/things-we-learned-from-todays-champions-league-matches/

Van Gaal is not pleased. Let's hear what he said.

VAN GAAL: They had the present of an Anthony Martial penalty. Martial is a human being, he reacts and it is a stupid reaction, but sometimes these things happen.'He said it is the first time it happens to him, if it always happens with me it's a pity. But i was very happy with his perfomance, he added.

The tempo was too slow in my opinion, I said that at half-time, and improve our tempo and switching the game from side to side. We did that better in the second half than the first half. We created more chances and could have won, but I think it is a deserved draw.

'I will be happy with a draw better than a win, we now have two home matches and you can say we are very strong at home and I hope we can win these games so we are nearly qualified or qualified, but we also have a game away to Wolfsburg.

'We are on schedule (to qualify) after the PSV Eindhoven defeat, which was a very strange defeat for us.'

The birthday boy also said this after the game.

ROONEY: Your 30th birthday is a big one in anyone's life but I still feel that I have a lot of years ahead of me,' he said before this

It doesn't look like a number because Rooney was not visible throughout the game.

But we feel Van Gaal should have commended Martial for his first Champions League goal instead of criticising and calling him stupid for his error that led to the penalty.

What do you think?
