hmmn, our papa for upper, we dey hail ur name
ur cabal land for earth as e don reign for heaven
dash us this day, our weekly 3 pointer
and remove from our book the problem of the lame/cripple players
even as we dey confim all wey try gbemu against us,

omo meen, am nervous o

Now with 'only' the Champions League left to contend for and the odds of them winning it lengthening, the revolving managers' doors will soon be spinning again and once more the roller-coaster will begin with another poor sap in charge on the win or bust Chelsea charabanc.

All of which gives the rest of us a lot of fun and all of which is making Chelsea a bit of a laughing stock, even by their own impressive standards. Most clubs would be delighted to have Ancellotti as manager and would accept that not every season is going to be a double winning one. But not Chelsea, or at least, not their owner.

How long can this go on? Don't the fans mind? Are they fed up of this scorched earth managerial policy? Doesn't it make the success achieved feel all the more plastic when it seems to counts for so little with the owner? When you win a league title it should be a major foundation stone in the construction of an empire, not a disposable honour which is all but forgotten within months.

It's one thing to get rid of a manager who hasn't moved the club on or who is just downright rubbish, quite another to sack one who has just won two out of the four trophies available so recently.

The fact that Chelsea hasn't won the Champions League by pursuing this policy should surely tell Abramovich that it doesn't work. You can't just go through every manager available hoping he'll be the one and then sacking him when he doesn't do it right away. Well, you can, but it just proves you're mad.

This lack of stability and ruthless attitude means that from the outside Chelsea FC doesn't seem like a football club; it seems more like a football facility. It seems cold and more like a multi-national corporation than a football club. The sacking of Ray Wilkins was emblematic of that. Here was a much-liked coach, an ex-club captain, noble servant and thoroughly decent bloke.

Yet regardless, he's dumped mid-season without warning, against the manager's wishes, as though he was little more than the YTS lad (does YTS still exist?), and to what end? What has been gained by that? Nothing.

It's tempting to believe that had Abramovich not become jealous of Jose Mourinho, all the European success he apparently craves would already be lining the trophy cabinet courtesy of his managerial brilliance. That must hurt every Chelsea fan. It must also make them hold Abramovich in some contempt, surely. It certainly makes the rest of us feel like that. You let Mourinho go, the greatest manager of his generation. You fools. How can anyone have any respect for the club hierarchy on the back of such a monumentally stupid decision?

Not that Roman cares and perhaps it is only the hiring and firing, along with pursuit of the Champions League trophy, that keeps him interested. Perhaps if they did win it, he'll lose any fascination he's got for football and spend a few years doing something else. Perhaps then Chelsea will return to being what they traditionally always have been - also-rans.

@ seun nope, i fail to see what knowing someone's network adds to my life.

if and when this happens kaboom, mtn is in trouble in my life. i have a line i have used since like 2003/4, i have wanted to drop it like for ever, but i find myself attached to the line simply because the number of things in my life attached to those digits is too much. and practically everyone i know has just that number, decapitating it is kinda problematic.

i also detest carrying more than one fone on my person, weighing my pockets down, hand bags are just a pain, . . . . . . .

besides portability is what will eventually drive uniform tarriffs and flat rates across board. that is when we will see genuine price wars too.

I SAY GR*8 IDEA, pray they do it. at least when one misbehave i will simply pay the token they charge and switch to another network till that one too misbehaves.

besides, service will be better as they will all be forced to share masts, bye to bad network strength for some sluggards.

@ slimshay, by that i mean our success as a football club is limited to financial.

we are first and foremost a football club, not a bank. as such its debateable if our "successs" as much as it is to be desired in these days of daft football club owners, is what a football club should be primarily about.

as you say, our mode of support seems to be different.


@ dudu, i am not throwing the baby out with the bath water, i am am saying get anor source of water to bathe the baby.

sigh, na waa oo, soo na common trophy na im come turn arsenal to dis? i weep inside.
and i say, i simply need a season where "i told you so" would not be applicable at the end of the season. its that simple.

and truth be told, i hate it when people eulogise wenger. that is one bias i proudly admit to having

debosky:
And I daresay that your brain requires mental rejuvenation. . . . your logical reasoning cortex needs to be checked into rehab for that idiotic comment. This same Utd you're wanking over was beaten in the semis by Arsenal's youth team last season. What nonsense are you saying here?

Tell me why there are bad players at any club? Abeg who has brain cells to donate to this nicca?

Newsflash - the flaws of every club run throughout the levels - it's called a PHILOSOPHY. There will always be positive aspects and negative aspects to it.

Anyways, I'm sure that comment was way over your head - keep ranting.

hmmn i fail to understand why you cannot get your views across without resorting into debasing and insultive language.
if you have not noticed, i have restrained from using abusive language. delusional does not count, dayokanu uses it too much on this thread for it to have any meaning forthwith

anyway, as for the point abt fergie, i stand by my point and say that if it was a team coached by fergie who was a goal down with minutes to go, they would not be trying to pass their way into failure instead of taking the other pragmatic approaches. football is not played in just one style only, note.

u seem to be thinking that i am complaining about the result. NO!!! i do not have a problem with the result, i have a problem with the way and manner they arrived at the result. i think it displays great and avoidable flaws.
its a youth team. they do not have to justify anything!! they are supposed to learn!!!! they do not seem to be having a complete education.

name one other club whose teams are accused and associated with over elaborate gameplay? is it not time to address that flaw? is that the philosophy u refer to?
have you ever taken time to study the youth set up in german teams including their national youth teams? ever notice that they dont produce players who cannot do what they are meant to do, even if they cannot do other stuff? or you know a german midfielder who cannot track, or a striker who cant score from germany?


for my barb about denilson, yes every club has bad players. i guess we are also obliged to have them no? good.
but then explain why the bad player in our team is one we nurtured for years! explain why his faults are the ones he ought not to have? please who teaches a midfielder to not be able to track players or mark?

please, save the patriotic fervor for matchdays at the emirates and stop playing Ostrich. for a club so bent on taking players thru the ranks, these players have got to actually know wassup!

sigh!!!! o maa see o. if clairefontaine and the amsterdam academies had been this lax, Arsenal would probably have never emerged in the premier league era

@  slimshay, well truth be told, i doubt if you have more love or passion for the club than i have.

the differnce between us is that i am sick and tired of excuses.
and i hate the fact that there are things everyone, lovers, haters, neutrals can see about Arsenal that do not get corrected year in year out!!!


and as for wenger, let me put my views about him and his staff in this way:

It is only a mad man who does a particular thing in a particular way, ALL THE TIME, yet expects a DIFFERENT RESULT each time he does it.

i love arsenal, the sight of the clubs crest evokes feelings in me i cannot explain. the club's anthems are like honey in my ears. i am not a joy riding, fair weather fan, i do not expect to win all the time. matter of fact, i do not even deeply mind not having won anything in 6 yrs, i SERIOUSLY MIND the way and manner with which my club has gone round the not winning.

our way is gradually becoming the blueprint of how not to be successful.


in my mind i do not regard arsenal as a small club. i guess therein lies the problem i have with most of my so-called supporters. they seem to think the standards at bolton, everton and even tottenham can apply at Arsenal. NO!!!!   my club is better than what it is now. for that i HATE ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CURRENT STANDARDS AT ARSENAL.

And i hate all the head patting, accomodating rubbish mentality. Failure is a way of life for some u know.

@ uncle debo, touche ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

@ dudspace, lemme put it simply. WHAT I AM SAYING IS THAT THE FLAWS OF ARSENAL TEAMS RUN RIGHT THROUGH ALL LEVELS.

whether u chose to believe the one game thing or not, (by the way what am saying is not based on one game) the truth is there to see!!


now i guess u can join ur coaches to pat urselves in the back for possessing the best talents @ u17 level in england and winning countless worthless trofies, as long as you do not cut out the flaws which everyone with a braincell and a will seek to exploit against arsenal, they will also grow up and FAIL!!!

now that you pple mention it, since you have a near monopoly of the yth cups, why then do ur rivals have a monopoly of the senior cups/trophies?

E kan maa je kii awon bad belle bi DK maa soro si waa ni. stop giving dem ammo with all these half thought out, self gratifying statements about the team.

BLIND BARTIMAEUS knows the issues arsenal has, and can coach the Ajegunle united fc to get a result against arsenal. its not comforting that these flaws are not been addressed.


abi how is it that after 6 yrs of being guilty of such errors as elaborate over-play, tthe youth team still lost a game whilst trying to pass the ball to angel gabriel in heaven at the dying minutes of a crucial match? to those boiz thats the way to play, and that is how they will play in such a situation in the future!!
now please, what is wrong in teaching these kids now that when a trophy is in sight, at times u have to shelve the tippy tappy and put a few elbows where they will be felt acutely? the desire to win, at cost of finesse is not a trifle matter.
its the difference between John terry and Johan Djourou. which would you rather have in your team? if the older ones are too old to be tutored, what abt the younger ones? these Arsenal system always goes for the technically correct, gifted players, what they usually do not have is the brawn and willpower.

i daresay in that position a fergie team would not play like dat. yes Arsenal yth teams may be better than everyone else but after nko? what did they learn?
its why denilson has turned out to be such shyte. you cannot tell me that all the while he was doing better than he is now. fact is, whilst at a junior level his game was not properly tested, and the coaches clearly missed the fact that he was shirking aspects of his game crucial to his being rounded. he was a super junior player, now at the big time the nucca cannot even mark or backtrack!!!


whether you accept the truth or not, the support setup @ arsenal is not doing well with regards to covering the shotcomings of the Boss. the boss aint perfect, the assistants are supposed to help his shortcomings. THEY ARE NOT DOING THAT WELL.

therefore to succeed at arsenal as a player, you must be really gifted A-La wilshere, fabregas, else tut tut you become denilson, diaby. sad.

E.O.D. till i come ur way again the voice of reason signs out

proudly9ja:
Yh, dats the only way you'ld know its Arsenal apart from the jersey colour ofcourse.

The two CBs seem to have communication problems though.

proudly9ja:
When you talk about learning. The senior team does exactly the same thing. Not sure they will learn cos I can only assume its not being taught in the first place.

Personally, apart from Aneke, I don't rate any of them though I must confess Ive not seen much of them apart from the ones that also play in the reserve team.
Aneke is the only one who to me may have prospects at Arsenal

if this does not butress the point i have been making about the God awful setup at arsenal, then what will?
these boiz are tutored in this brainless, daft, annoying football practices, then expected to magically metarmorphose into world beaters with quantifiable common sense when they make it into the first team.

the flaws are so apparent even the blinkered fans here can see them, and console themselves with platitudes like its just youth football, how many make it anyway, yada yada yada.

5 yrs down the line when the same mumu's line up against the same Mc Eachrans and get beat exactly the same way, you start hearing rubbish about desire, we wanting it, next season . . . .
tseew!! hmnn. clearly the foundations are bad, and what can the righteous do?


when the so-called senior team makes errors and gets useless/zilch results, and the youth setup DOES THE SELF SAME THINGS TOO

why cant these men just bugger off sef

sorry to seem off somewhat but pls, poster, outstrip, chaircover, are u girls igbo?

matter of fact am 95% sure u girls are igbo. lol. no offense meant, its just that there seems to be an underlining mentality and atitude to your posts that i only detect in igbo girls or women, should in case u pple are ahem. . . . . older.

anyway, just catching trips but man, i feel for igbo men, the women are absolutely world class!!




anyways, why do women arrogate a right to get physical with men and expect men to walk away always?
way i see this issue on this thread, WOMAN NEVER EVER LAY HANDS ON ANY MAN WHEN STUFF IS NOT MUSHY CUSHY!!!

see touching a man or anyone at all whilst having an argument, even if its a feather touch is very very not adviseable, hell iv even seen pple take offense to finger pointing whilst arguing!!

he ought not to have touched u back, walking away is always a virtue, but still, . . . .  babe u crossed the physical line urself.

and whilst its easy to stand back and criticise everyone whose ever touched a woman, man in some situations believe me, the woman will get a ass whooping.

i have never laid a finger on a female, PRAY AND HOPE I NEVER WILL, but i remember one abusive Arrow i once dated, looking back i wished i at least once dazed the fool a resounding slap that will make her pass out instead of always walking away.
now im not sure after the experience i had with that one any woman who makes the mistake of raising her hand to me publicly will go scot free without my very best slap, not sure at all. . . . . .  

hey in-house nerds and freaks


can i put froyo on this here G1, cos am mighty tempted y'know


@op, lets do dis for 20k

no. keep it to yourself.

ahh, its time for thanksgiving service

please call TB, and Chris the sleek, man, and the oshodi oke mass choir. we gonna praise the lord and give thanks

and nateevs, man brother, please come on up and give a testimony to the Glory of God and shame of the devil, how he has rescued your club from the miry clay and set it down the the swamp

the Chavs actually managed to win a game?


fantastic, against bolton no less, waoh. man this team and coach are simply superb!!!

up chavs,

dear fellow gooners,

a few weeks ago i made a point about arsene, i was shouted down

now, whilst not wanting to seem like seizing the moment to call a dog a bad name, i really do feel that yesterday encapsulated my point about arsene.

what did we learn this week? its that we do not know who will win the prem yet!! FACT!

however more importantly, we learnt that one club WILL NOT WIN IT, ARSENAL!


i do not like to go into theatrical diatriabes, but anyone with eyes can see clearly that the more things change, the more they remain the same at arsenal.

one thing is sorely lacking, the mentality to be a champion. made much worse by earth shattering, befuddling inconsistencies and incompetence by the man in charge.


i was watching this with a few people and after 65 minutes i predicted the outcome of the match if drastic measures were not taken to influence the way the game was going. (until that point, i really did'nt have more than the usual fan's complaints about changing the team bla bla)

most if not all agreed with me, and to my chagrin, the coach who has self-importantly coached 1,602 games could not/did not see what i could see alll the way from lagos.


this man is never gonna win another league medal. any other trophy sef is kinda looking impossible to me, because i tend to think that a possible final with birmingham in the league cup would look exactly like the game yesterday, with similar results.


the next game against birmingham is a sure banker loss, put ur money on it. and even more amusing, to think that with all of chelsea's woes we would end up behind them at the end of the season (MARK THIS POST DOWN) only brings out the comedy in the scenario.



i dont know about you, but if anyone actually loves this club on that board, now would be a very good time to start scouting for somebody who can win stuff, who knows whats going on in a footy game, and who can actually motivate absolutely talented schmucks toraise their heads and game.

i beg to differ

diaby ko, diiarrbe ni.

that long legged, cross legged, slow-ass dullard.

tseew, talk anor one bo. maybe in the dutch he league or in a slower league where everyone admires u when u caress the ball.


come to think sef, why barca neva even bid for diaby sef? he is available o, pep, 30 mill only, 26 last

u know about the shared/dedicated thingy, why cant we just have that?


cos i sure know that if i had a dedicated 56KBps connection, it will be better than the useless much vaunted 3.6mbps shared on the stoopid mast.

this thingy is just a bloody big ass ripoff, and it is getting more annoying by the day.


and i know for a fact that all the fbt will not cease until they start doing dedicated, and can register my line and peg it to my usage directly. so anyway, cunny man die, wayo man bury am

if its configured for zoom, does that not make it a CDMA phone?

you cannot use it on a gsm network.

pls cross check properly, go to gsm arena and check to see if its there

as in well, i dunno for u o @ op

HTC has countless models, which one are we talking about?

Iphone is kinda like just 1, well four, each a sequential improvment on the previous one, but its really one product, IPHONE.

HTC like others has countless models.


so ur question is kinda like nokia or iphone, nokia also includes 3310 so

i just had 2 acounts locked on this thread.

i already posted stuff there so u may wish to check out my last posts on those usernames

4llerbuntu, 4llerbe.

the bot is killing my ass here so i really cant do much anymore. will try to manage sha, but if this acct get seized too, cest fini be dat o


Hack procedure.
This applies to fresh installs, or installs that u already have but are not working fine or lack permissions.
U need the jar and jad for the file u wanna install

Connect ur phone to ur pc via usb. Let it install the drivers. Reboot.

Check with pc suite if the phone is recognized. The phone MUST BE IN PC SUITE MODE

Kill the pc suite, exit it completely

Open TKFE. It’s a small executable file,(it does not install)

When open click the icon that has the gears stuff(settings) u will see sumtin like dis. The pc must have assigned a COM port for the phone. If it has, change the Baud rate thingy to 115600. if it has not, then try to select one from the options there or make sure the fone has really been installed

Then click connect. It will take like 20 secs the first time. When it connects the phones filesystem displays in the lower half. Click to navigate. Be VERY CAREFUL O. STICK TO THAT WHICH U WANNA DO. I DISCLAIM ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR U BRICKING UR FONE

If u having difficulty connecting, switch off the fone. (actually mine was even refusing to connect whilst switched on.


Now we in the fone, subsequent connections will be easier.


To install stuff, navigate to the
exe/java/games folder on the fone file system

Now u are in games, rightclick and create a new folder, (u may just make ur folder in the pc and upload the folder at once with the jar and jad in it already) name it the name of app u wanna install.

Open the folder, now on the upper half, navigate to the part where u have ur .jar and .jad , download them into the folder u created on the fone with the icon that has the fone thingy.

When done disconnect the fone. Put it on if off. Then enter the magic

Type the following code: *#6984125*#

It will open a menu, scroll down to INTERNALS (should be no 4) click on it, it will ask u for a password

Type *#3818790*# tap ok

It will open a new menu, scroll down to Storage settings, select “Update JAVA DB.” Then scroll again and select Update Apps database.
Hit the red key

Finish now u will go to ur games and apps folder, and the app will be there fully installed and full permissions!!!


The TKFE dey behave like pants at times, so it may hang or break, when it does that just disconnect the cable and reconnect. Connect the fone on TKFE again, and delete what u were doing before and do it again.

PERSONALLY I RECOMMEND USING THIS TO DO THE BLUEFTP, then using that subsequently. That also means u can install without a pc anytime u want!!
