Alan Hansen is an authority in footie. I am sure you've never heard the
name before, that explains your conclusion that he is a mere footie fan

Alan Hansen was the man that said "you can never win anything with kids" with regards to Man Utd's youthfull squad of 95/95 season which went on to win the domestic double.

Otherwise he is a good analyst

My best Igbo proverb:

Ejiro amu eyi ashawo egwu 

PM of Bangladesh is a woman and we have had female leaders in Indonesia and Pakistan

Hmmm. The absolute quantity of money in a country doesn't matter. What matters is what you can buy with it.

The quantity of money affects what you can buy.More money often leads to more choice.The more money you have ,the more you can buy and the greater your range of choices.

dblock:
On their website, it says hand in relevant pictures of the project, this implies that they rely on the public for a lot of their media

Wow!So the brains behind the project are relying on the general public to take pictures of their project for them?Can't they just take it themselves and post it on their site?

Muppet of the Season: - Wayne Monkeyboy Rooney     

You no see Shevchenko or Bouhlarouz? What about Ballack? £135,000 a week.

Seun:
This is completely wrong.  Your error is known as the broken window fallacy.  In a nutshell, you're basing your decision on what can be seen but failing to account for what cannot be seen: freedomkeys.com/window.htm

BWF is more relevant when we are talking about Govt spending not private consumption.If I wasn't spending the money on wasted food I might not spend it at all.No suits,just savings.

Seun:
Yes, it is true that the food that is thrown away gives farmers some income, but if food is not thrown away, the land and fertiliser and human effort used to grow that food will be used for something more useful than food thrown away.

The land might be used for something else or as is more likely the case in Nigeria,it will lie fallow.My not spending money on food doesn't guarantee that hospitals or care centres will be built.The human effort and fertiliser might not be used for something else because there would be no demand neccesitating its use.

Seun:
The other way to look at is that the wasted food could have been exported, which boosts national income.  So throwing food away actually harms the economy.

Presuming that there is international demand for the products that will simply replace domestic demand.

Given that the Western world throws the most food away,it must be a miracle that their economy has not been severly damged .Private Consumption drives 70% of the US economy and that is because there is a lot of wasteful consumption.

To the extent that private consumption is not depleting savings and increasing household debt(hardly the case in Nigeria) ,any such consumption is welcome even if it results in wasted food.

NB:Am playing Devil's Advocate

Its not profitable.

You can make your nominations if you want,that is the whole point of the thread.Everyone makes a case for who they think should be the nominees.

If the nominees are not the people I included in the poll,we can get Seun to alter the poll

Nobody can claim that Drogba should be a nominee for Footballer Of The Year apart from biased Chelski fans.

The season has almost ended-especially if you are an Arsenal fan-so we might as well start a Nairaland nomination process for footballer of the season.Heck,the Premiership Player's Footballer of The Season has already been voted on as far back as February.

My nominees are-

1:Cristiano Ronaldo-He has everything-pace,shooting,technique,finishing,vision.The boy is the best thing in a Man Utd no 7 shirt since George Best.He has been awesome this season and is the 2nd highest goal scorer in the Premiership.
He did well to overcome the brouhaha over the World Cup

2:Francesco Totti-One of the best players of his generation and one of the most  underrated.Leading scorer in the best league in the World-Serie A .Has been awesome this season

3:Daniel Alves-Sevilla right back,one word describes this kid-awesome.He is the best attacking right back I have seen since Cafu.Liverpool missed the opportunity to sign him last season.


As for Muppets of the Season.I won't waste much time on this assorted collection of football miscreants-

1:Andrei Shevchenko-Is that the real Shevy at Chelski or some fake "Taiwan" version.That boy makes Jeffers(Fox in the Box) look like Di Stefano.

2:Emerson-The man has acheived what many aspire to.Retiring from football while continuing to play.He is awful.Seyi Olofinjana will do a better job in that MADRID midfield

3:J[b]ulio Baptista[/b]-Complete Asshole!

I read this article on the apparent "death" of Microsoft.

A company that used to be famed for its innovation seems to wobbling along and diversifying unsuccesfully beyond its core business

See the article-http://www.paulgraham.com/microsoft.html

Throwing food away helps the economy.It means you are consunming more than you need.Your consumption pays the food seller who pays the farmer

@Debo

You remember that feeling when your team puts the ball into the back of the net.When that net starts shaking  

You probably forgotten the feeling  

I told you guys that Fabregas' failure to chip in with a few goals is pathetic .Most of Utd's goals come from midifeld.Rooney has been playing rubbish all season.

You neeed your midfielders to score a few but they are equally as horrible except for Gilberto

How can you score goals with people like Aliadierre,Adebayor and Baptista?Bunch of muppets,should be playing for Spurs or some mid-table side.

Maybe they are not taking pictures since most of the place is uncompleted.Ask people in Calabar about the whole thing.

Gooners When was the last time you celebrated scoring a goal?

debosky:
I'll see how chummy you feel after Roma knocks you out on wednesday

You know what keeps me happy no matter what?The fact that no matter how bad Utd is,those folks at the Emirates are even worse.That is my joy in life.

Sit back and watch the CL .I know you wish you were in the Q/F

Come on Valencia Give those Blues the blues

If I was President:

Firstly,cut Corporation Tax to 15%.Implement full liberalisation of the power sector and sell of the remaining power utilities.

Sell off every remaining State enterprise.Lower trade tarrifs and push for West African free trade zone.Reduce the size of the civil service.Ensure that this country is one of the easiest places to start a biz.

Fight corruption rigorously and launch a campaign against HIV/AIDS.

Build more industrial estates around the country with first world facilities.Spend more money on education,not teachers salaries but in infastructure.

There is just too much to be done in this country I don't know where to start

mukina2:
i love valencia and roma
yeah i am standing up

Why was your team playing today?Could it be because they were knocked out by mighty PSV?

How is life down at 4th place?Loook out for Bolton Can't even catch Liverpool

@debosky

That is the face of a man who has ejoyed more success in his coaching career than your blasted yeam has enjoyed in its entire history.That is the face of victory.

Bloody hell.Stinking Gooners still breathing .Come on Bolton,show these Arses some footie

STAND UP IF YOU LOVE VALENCIA

mukina2:
it was after Roma stop denyin it

You can click my posts and see when I stopped posting.

Tell your boys to bring up their game-We need them to knock out Chelski

Roma won their first away game in Serie A this season,what a time to start getting good away results? .

In the history of the CL,there have been 20 occasions where the home team took a 2-1 lead into the 2nd leg of the knockout stage.Of the 20,in 10 the initial home team progressed.That means historically we have a 50% chance.

NB:The last time we overturned a first leg deficit-1984

rikkyjen:
4play, the FuC$k have you been, bro?

I was in hospital-gastric ulcers(had nothing to do with Utd )When I left,everything just imploded  

I didn't get to see the games at Rome or Fratton Park.

I would like to rejoice in Arse's predicament,problem is,they are supposed to get some points for us off Chelski.Arse's goal scoring problems predates the injuries to Henry and RVP.I guess they feel secured for that CL's place,even Bolton failed to win and Arse has got a game in hand.

That Arsenal team will get worse and worse.You ain't seen nothing yet  

@rikkyjen

Its one point in the last 4 games
