Erisco has gone global

If he is really lucky he and his tomato paste may feature in last week tonight with John Oliver.

If Trevor noah was still on the daily show, no way bros Erisco and his miracle sugar paste will not be the butt of jokes.

What was Allen onyema smoking

Onyema added that with earnings of 200,000, a Nigerian can afford a maid, a driver and other domestic staff.

Lol ,some Chelsea fans on Twitter rates him though

Hype no Dey affect any player ,if you go come good you go come good ,just pray to be injury free

Way rooney chop hype from age 16/17 and had a successful career despite leaving top football earlier

Neymar chop hype from 18 and was successful ,I remember pele confidently saying he was better than Messi ,as much as some injuries affected neymar such hype didn’t get into his head

Clubs should just try to protect their youngsters ,hype will always be there in football

BlueRayDick:


The mainoo boy Na good player but it seems English fans & pundits are out to jinx him . Hoping he doesn't get a major injury to see how far he can handle the pressure those Ebglish fans fetching ant infested firewood are bringing his way

andrewbaba44:
E don tay way Man U produce youngster so don’t blame them ,even rashford at 26 is considered a youngster,at least with the emergence of maino ,we won’t see Man U fan calling that old man rashford a youngster anymore

Hyping or no hyping if you will come good you will as far as you are working hard as a player ,fans will always hype which is normal ,there have been praises from all fanbase about the kid maino ,that shows he is good and the rest is left for him .

For over more than 20 years Brazil Dey always tell us who he new pele ,yet we never see any pele ,even Ronaldinho or neymar talent dem never fit produce

WhoDeyHause:
Between barka and dead manyoo boys I no know who sabi this over hyping business pass. They just want to kill this boy's career before it starts.

Leyqute:
Ok

Leyqute:
I don't really like this new Mainoo national team hype.

Leyqute:
What did he say? Can you share the link?

Unlimited22:
Chief afrodoc2 why do you think a lot of players who've been touted as superstars at youth level in the English game sputter out so quickly and in some cases, go on to achieve relatively little?

See Nile Ranger and Ravel Morrison.

Lots of people claim Joe Cole was the best player they saw live at youth level. Then there's Owen, more recently Odoi and Sancho etc... Even Rooney himself, despite being the record goalscorer for England and Manyoo and with his trophy haul, still isn't seen by some people as having achieved all the success he could have and is repeatedly passed over in all time PL XIs.

raumdeuter:
I agree too with this. Nothing is impossible in Nigeria, the landscape of what we thought was impossible as Nigerians have changed in the last 20yrs

We used to make fun that Nigerians cant be suicide bombers, terrorists etc we now see it regularly.

All those criminals everywhere across the country who claim they are agitators, after a while they will resort to full scale crimes

Roland17:
The topography, vegetation and terrain of the South will make it difficult for them to succeed like the North. They can cause violence in large gatherings but they are not moving 150-300 people on bikes for ransom in the South.

andrewbaba44:
Lol

andrewbaba44:

Did Southgate win any trophy at club level sef?

That Europa conference league trophy put Nwoyes above a lot of his average peers.

Jodera:
You made a lot of good points regarding Mainoo tho but part of me just wants him to be a starter cos I really need England to win something (I'm rooting for them) and he brings that completeness. It's amazing to even know he doesn't even play as 6 how much more lone 6 in the academy. Omorr, it means this guy is good.

This is where Kalvin Philips would have been very very key while Rice plays the 8 to the fullest but wrong move just spoilt everything.

Leyqute:
It’s difficult, right?

Best to leave him on the bench. Maybe a midfield of Foden, Jude and Rice would work.

But all these structures depend on Southgate and his merry band of robbers.

larride:
All of this Una analysis depends on Southgate to work.

Dey play.

Leyqute:
Foden has improved immensely over the last couple of years. He’s not the finished product yet, but he seems to be on the right path.

Leyqute:
Enough tactical flexibility could see Foden play LW+AM with Rice, Jude and Kobbie in midfield. You’d have to support him with a LB that bombs forward a lot since Foden likes to tuck inside. This structure provides width, is stable defensively and also potent offensively.

Since Rashford hasn’t had a great season, dropping him to the bench might make sense. If things don’t work out you can bring on Gordon. Or even Rashford to provide better wing play.

Jodera:
The thing is that England has a number 6 In Mainoo. I believe if you're good enough, then you're old enough and Mainoo is someone who have a seasoned pro head on his body. He's 18yrs too so it's not as if he's that kinda small boy sef. Mainoo just solved that conundrum.
Play Mainoo as 6, Rice at 8(this to me is even his best position) and either Bellingham/Foden at 10(or side 8 in a 433) and England won't suffer both offensively and defensively.
Presently, I'll go for Bellingham cos of the kind of striker Kane is but if I want more control and I'll go for Foden but even Bellingham can give me that control I need(as long as it's with Kobbie and Rice), so automatically for me, Foden goes to the bench. He can certainly change game from bench and give something different.

As for "slander". I doubt any arsenal fan slander Foden. We acknowledge his qualities and we know he's a very fine player but what we don't agree is that he's better than Saka. I don't even get the comparison sef cos Saka is a Winger while Foden is a Midfielder. There's no way one can tell me Foden on the wings is better than Saka no matter how versatile foden is.
Agenda or not, Saka on the wings is better than Foden. The kind of Kicks and double marking Saka receives for the past 3 seasons and he still comes out tops, I doubt Foden experiences that.

BlueRayDick:
Yes o, I no go gree.

Saka has been doing it for club and country, make Foden show workings outside the cozy man city environment.

No Saka slander against mere mortals will be tolerated

BlueRayDick:
Which yeye Foden better than saka? The same Saka that is England's best player for 2 years running ?

Even Foden go argue against u on this one.

Jodera:
Android say make dem build England around Foden.

Why not Man City build around Foden first let's see how good and consistent he is before thinking about England doing so.

Any player whom a top country builds around must certainly be a big player in his club. The Saka, Kane and Bellingham are all starters at top club for at least 2 years and they're all spine in their teams but no, England should leave them and build around Foden on a platter.

Na so

WhoDeyHause:
There was a report about Neymar's father moving to pay the bail so I'm really surprised about this update saying Memphis paid. 1 million euros is heavy for a footballer not in the top 10 earners in Europe to just pay out of his pocket considering the fact they're paying taxes out of their weekly wages.

Ibime:
I doubt it. If it's not Memphis alone, I won't rule out a collection of friends who don't want to put their name to it and jeopardise their sponsorships. It's plausible they sent Memphis to be the face since is a campaigner for such cases and doesn't have much to lose

Ibime:
I think it's the rebel part. I remember Memphis impassioned speech after Benjamin Mendy got acquitted. Memphis is a "campaigner" on this matter, but €1m for someone he barely knows like that shows a fool easily parted with his money.

I just finish Tyson, Ali and Joe Frazier autobiographies and in all cases, you can see how these guys ended up broke. No discipline with money at all. Moving on to Roberto Duran who suffered the same fate.
