Pkasso said it best, "Similarity in style does not mean equality in quality". That someone PLAYS LIKE another person does not mean he CAN PLAY AS WELL as that person.

Saying mentality and supporting cast is the only difference between 105 goals and 8 goals is frankly ridiculous.

Let us even assume Messi played in Chelsea with its inferior supporting cast and had Hazard's mentality he would still have a minimum of 50 goals which would still be 6 times better than Hazard.

Comparing Hazard who is just one of the many stars of his time to Messi who is one of the top 4 or 5 talents of all time is delusional.

I only said Rahman was a better LB than Ake.

some of the players I've predicted to do well are

Wijnaldum, Lukaku, Zaha, Maguire, David Brooks, Calum Chambers...

Judge me on my actual record abeg...

My chief, i even went to bat for you. Pulling out your your highly esteemed record of getting in early on the ground floor in terms of identifying talents like Zaha, Maguire e.t.c

By the way, what are your thoughts on this Hazard vs Neymar issue?

Skimpledawg:
Shey Hensben once said nihilist don dey cast for his choice of players these days abi

Zappacosta, Bakayoko, Baba Rahman ( the eternal loanee). That is a mean list there, LLLyricist abi NihiLLList on the roll. Lol.

But to be fair he also stood with Zaha and was one of the first to notice Harry Maguire.

Unlimited22 i finally met the guy. He studied in Australia so he couldn't give me more information apart from the fact that you have to sit a Competency Exam if you studied overseas.

So i did some more research i think it can be summarized thus:

1) Apply for and sit for the OCANZ written exams. Done in Australia, Washington DC, London, Johannesburg.

Cost of application, supporting documentation and exam is about 2400 USD.


2) Apply for and sit for OCANZ practical exam. Done only in Melbourne.

Cost of application, supporting documentation and exam is about 1600 USD.


3) With both written and practical exams passed you apply for limited registration and use the certification to apply for a visa.


P.S Before anything please confirm that Optometry is one of those professions that qualify you for immigration visa, and it might be a good idea to contact OCANZ and also check the immigration site.

I don't know if Arsenal fans really decamped to Chelsea. The only example we have here, packed his load from London to Germany.

What i will say is this; Chelsea became popular with the explosion of dstv and viewing centres in Lagos around 03-06, and this was during the mourinho era. Arsenal were still very much title challengers around this time, so I doubt we mopped up their fan base. I believe we just picked up a lot of the people who would go to viewing centres in those days.

The barkabot was born a few years after...and a huge chunk of agberos, conductors, and nurtw members are shouting 'barka for laif' to this very day.

Now you are talking. If you take a poll of the older barkabots and shekpites you will find that most of them were Arsenal fans.

eph12:
They had the majority fans. They had the good, the bad and the ugly

You summarized it neatly.

nihilistjnr:
100% disagree

Some manyoo boys were posh, but Arsenal had the most swag without doubt.

Everybody wanted to be an Arsenal fan back then. I remember coming back from jand summer 01 with the autoglass jersey, and some people in my class had never even heard of chelsea football club, no word of a lie.

Arsenal were the poshest - They had fashion models in Henry, Ljunberg and Pires on the roster. They had skillful players and played the most attractive football.

Plus they had papillo.

They had nike shirts in a sea of umbros, diadoras and kappas

Nah mehn...disagree completely

Of course everyone wanted to be fans of Arsenal, including most of the "any work" boys that we used to send to buy food, most of the bus conductors and vulcanizers.
Not saying posh guys did not support Arsenal, but most of the agberos were also Arsenal fans. The average Ariaria market urchin also supported Arsenal because of Kanu.
Papillo was actually one of the main reasons that the club attacted many street people. The average uneducated, uninformed Naija guy just wanted to support something that was familiar and seemed patriotic.

It was actually when those agberos and bricklayers decamped from Arsenal to Chelsea that they converted Chelsea to Sheesi and rapidly built up the Shekpite legacy.
Most of the low lives your club has in Nigeria are ex-Arsenal fans.

nihilistjnr:
Are you sure those guys were arsenal fans? They sound like scummies

If i recall correctly, between 2001 and 2005, Arsenal boys were like the poshest guys in lagos. Arsenal were clearly the most 'swaggerful' team in the country, and all their fans used to carry that swagger around - particularly those club boys in unilag. Everything about Arsenal then was sexy, with the likes of Henry, Wiltord, Pires, Viera, along with Wenger injecting the club with with some serious Gallic je ne se qouis

Peak period was that 02 jersey with double netting at the back during invincibles season. Most Arsenal fans during that period were fresh smarmy gits.

I really enjoyed their downfall.

Nah, the poshest guys in Lag then were Man Utd fans. The average uneducated and illiterate guy on the street supported Arsenal because Kanu was there and they had lots of black guys on the team.

When Chelsea came along many posh guys started supporting Chelsea, until the club had some success and was hijacked by the agberos and palm wine tappers. That is the origin of the current Shekpite culture in Chelsea.

Hensben sef get pali.

popizaino:
Have noticed your eagerness to always jump on the slightest opportunity to take snide remarks but only those who think you are sane enough will give you the attention you are craving for.

That the year some of this players plays for a useless team in a useless league skipped my memory shouldn't have you feeling all knowledgeable about the game.

You can't remember who played when for the club, not to talk of who was more important than who, yet you are arguing with a football nerd who has been following the club religiously for over 20 years.
You are obviously ignorant of the facts but doing eegun ori like a Graeco-Roman wrestler.

And you are accusing another person of jumping at slightest opportunity? What should we call what you are doing? Flying at the slightest opportunity? Abeg carry your wahala dey go, your tympanitic skull is echoing too loud.

Yes o. Just read it. Same thing is happening witn your man Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court.

Please can someone explain why if 2 drunk people bang the man is accused of rape and the woman is automatically the victim, and why male teachers banging their students get 40yrs in jail but female teachers banging their students only lose their jobs or maybe get 4yrs?

raumdeuter:
When he scored high under Mourinho it was self determination

Under Conte with better tactics Hazard lost the self determination

This is even worse than Amala

Conte got a better midfield in Kante Yet Hazard was poorer

This one pass amala really. I think it is just something soft.

See as Hazard dey gain and lose self determination like British protectorate.

Adisaowalla:


But na una dey slander us that time for pointing out say him purchase na bloody waste of money na

I remeber that time when i was trying to explain why that move wasn't the best then some wanted to bite my head off here.

Midfield is not by flashes of brilliance. Na to just dey consistently do your duty get am, all those flashes are for strikers and wingers.

Who better to implement this to full effectiveness than SAF's chosen one, David Moyes

This guy u don come with this your Moyes thing again. I no go suprise say na you dey kpan Moyes' daughter wey dem go accuse Zaha.

Like if JM was sweeping all the titles and the team was playing great football true fans won't come here to say i told you so.

What am i saying sef? Once in a blue moon when the team plays well this place is littered with comments from true fans "telling us so".

There is no victory in this for any United fan ( both true and fake), so i wonder why belle dey pain some people.

Mourinho is doing a great job. All he needs is more time and more defenders.

True fans shey shame dey catch una ni?? Abi why ve y'all chosen the same time to disappear? Pls fall in and come defend ur manager.

Why you dey use strafing technique instead of sniper shots? These your bullets fit jam innocent bystanders, please name these true fans so that there will not be unintended casualties.

WTF is this video

So you do't know Charles Okocha. The guy's global now. Lol

nihilistjnr:
AJ should outbox Wilder easily. Maybe even KO him. Infact, I believe he should KO wilder.

What I've noticed is that AJ seems to have a pretty formidable chin.

Quite a few bombs don land on him dome, but he took it and smiled. Takam, Steelhammer, and Sasha this weekend have left some on him with littlw consequence.

I also saw his neck workout routine. He's clearly working on his ability to take punishment



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOsxQLCNqc4


Wilder still has that wild right and God in Heaven knows that I would love nothing more than for bumsquad to spark AJ out, but it looks to me like AJ has been working to counter that particular move ahead of schedule.

My hopes rest on that fat gyppo now. Maybe he's the one to finally punch the clock on that frauds time at the top.

Yes his chin impressed me this time, and that blown nose also showed that the guy is a fighter. E no easy to dey breathe well with your nostrils blocked with blood and swollen mucosa. That was why someone here noted he was mouth breathing.

However i believe AJ's strongest asset and what stands him out compared to all the other top heavyweights is his intelligence in the ring and ability to think quickly under pressure.
I saw good evidence of this in his 2 toughest fights so far i.e Klitschko and Sasha Povetkin.

Against Klitschko it appeared to me that he took a dive in order to fight another round, and against Povetkin he changed his defence in the later rounds in order to take away Povetkin's overhand right.

Safest thing for him against Wilder is to outjab him and go for the points victory, he must not turn it into a slugfest.

Good one, he has fully recovered from his relapse then.

ManU finish outside top 10?

200k?

Where the guy Abeg

Among men of God that i have met you are the most evil. Shey if the guy lose 1k USD to me, 2k GBP to Nihilist, 200k to you, you go feed the family he will leave behind?

nihilistjnr:
Mehn I ready to bet 2k pounds with am. How's the man going to say Manyoo gone finish outside top 10. infact I np suppose call am bet- na investment

Joshua is a whopping 2 stone heavier and he looks ripped as fück. My spidersense is tingling - that guy must be on the juice.

Have you seen his workout routine? Man does some heavy cardio sessions and eats only around 8k Calories a day reportedly....yet he's putting on more and more muscle everytime we see him.


They need to investigate that guy.

I hope that povetkin can use the weight deficit to his advantage and tire Joshua out before sending him back to sagamu with an uppercut. However I suspect that AJ takes this one again - that weight advantage is ridiculous. If Povetkin allows one or two Haymakers to land with the weight of 17 stone behind the gloves, it could be early lights out.

Wey them roland17 a40 and airmark?

Na real investment.

But wait o, i thought you were an AJ fan. When did you jump off the wagon, wishing bad for your fellow Yoruba-Briton?

I think Povetkin is a dangerous opponent despite the size difference. His only loss was to a relatively young Dr Steelhammer.

nihilistjnr:
Boardman services available, though even me sef wan take nitrogen bet

No wahala, how much you wan bet with am?

Meanwhile your boy AJ is fighting in a few hours. I hope he scales through this potential banana skin.

People seem to be underrating Povetkin, hopefully Joshua does not.

nitrogen:
You are right, we lost the game.

Man utd won't make top 10 this season, anyone to bet?
