One nil not good enough at half time

Hit the target Darren. . . Make the keeper do some work 

That was close. . Roooneeyyyyyyy

How did Giggsy not score that. . .  

Cristalz:
Gary is your dear? Wonderful. Tell him to give way for Rafael

There was this old time chant/song about him that calls
him "my dear gary. . . ."

Cristalz:
What?? How did O'Shea not score that?

He did well. Not an easy header

He'll mess it up like he messes up all the time

What happened to my dear gary? Did he sprain his ankle or something?

chamotex:
Pass of the season by ANDERSON. This boy is CLASS!!!

A peach of a pass

What a ball from Anderson. . . World class

Cristalz:
@presido
 Lol, sowwy. Twaz fun, but we were all getting out of hand. I think we understand ourselves better now.  .  .

So, got a prediction for tonight's game? I'm not even sure of which game I'll be watching.  .  .I want to watch ours, but Chelsea's might be a tougher clash. Wouldn't want to miss it.

Not a decision for me. I'm watching ours.

tkb417:
Tevez wants to leave. hes hld go joh and allow better people enter

Tevez has started over 30 games for us this season so
I dont know what his problem is. . . Maybe money that
Kia guy is asking for is the problem

georgecso:
We should not blame these ppl guys. There is nothing extreme  poverty cannot cause or lead someone to. Its just that we have something doing that's why we lucky to tell the tales. If our refineries were to be working in full capacity, all this problems will not occur .May God help our leaders with stagnants ideas to think straight.

You'll be surprised that many of those that do these things
have more loose change in their pockets than you.

It's foolishness 100%. It's obvious the system is messed
up but as an individual, be wise and dont go near it.

An artiste sends a 100k copies to a marketer. The artiste
gets paid. The marketer calls the artiste 3 months later
for more copies. He sends another 100k.

And so on and so on.

Though not 100% accurate, you can get reliable figures
from these.

Nostradamus of Nairaland.

Since September 07, 2006!

Cristalz:
Good question. . .too bad all 'em Gaynners are too cowardly to truthfully answer it

Thats why no one can remember the last time they won a title

MrCrackles:
Stop fucking lying!

Ya all went into the game acting all cocky thinking Macheda, Wellbeck, Fabio and Raphael are top draw!

Trying to disrespect Everton, but good job, they smashed the Margherita back in Fergie's ugly face!

A full United side wouldav lost today!!

Evra, Scholes should have started for instance but Fegie
decided otherwise hours before the game. Its about
looking at the bigger picture and not just a day

debosky:
What trophies exactly do you have this season? The Carling Cup?

So I guess Spurs winning that last season wanted to make Ramos go into retirement contented? What happened to the renewed hunger every season??

Man Utd should stop ridiculing themselves - they have 'won' the CC, but they haven't won any of the three cups that matter, and one of them is out of it.

Maybe Fergie threw the game, maybe he had other priorities or maybe he underestimated Everton. Bottom line is, y'all are out.

Would you swap Arsenal's current position with United?

I think Fegie kind of weighed his priorities. He felt the FA cup, though
good to have can be sacrificed for a weekend's rest.

dayokanu:
Is it a coincidence that most of the so called washed up players under Scolari have improved within 3 months under Guus.

Yet we all chose to blame first touch, Lack of passion and uninterested attitude. When Guus came around, the first thing he noticed was how unfit Chelsea players were.

But wait o. . . Is Scolari that useless?

I remember talking about Guus when Jose was sacked and everyone
attacked me. Now they love him.

dayokanu:
And most importantly Mikel has gone back to his favourite position. On the Bench!!!!

Lol!

enubiaka:
Pls,Its a criminal offense for you to say Amodu is arguably the best around. My friend,thats you using your own opinion to insult our intelligence. Amodu is simply shit tru & tru. The man plays virtually wit no plan or pattern,technically is below zero. All he does is to field bunch of known names who hardly feature in any of their club games. Plus,can u explain unbehalf of Amodu,Y Mikel featured in our last match? And,Y on earth do u want Siasia to be part of his coachin crew Siasia should be the one coachin the team while,the shitty Amodu begs for a place in his coachin crew.

The chap said "arguably the best around" and I agree. You
judge a coach by what he has done so there are not too many
Nigerian coaches that can match him.

We are all talking about Siasia. While he looks like a potentially
great coach, there is no certainty that he will do better.

Doing well in age group competetions is a different ball game.

PurestBoy:
Amodu should be sacked with immediate effect b4 more damages is done.

What damage has been done?

Winning all the matches in the first round and then drawing
the first match in the second round?

George_D:
What are we talking about here? Luck with no tact may get you by some of the times,
but there is a limit to which you can continue to get lucky.

Who's talking about luck.

He's qualified us for a world cup in the past. That's experience
and not luck. He can do it again.

~Sauron~:
And Dayo is still surprised that the BIG 4 in England are always the TOP FOUR in the Premiership??
If they cannot be stopped by other European giants, who would stop them in the Premiership??
Fulham or Stoke??

My point exactly. In Europe, English these teams knock each
other out. No one has come near them.

What do we expect the smaller PREM clubs to do when the likes
of Real, Juve, Roma and Inter are crying.

deb:
True true he won 6 matches.
The question is how did he win them? Go and watch those matches he won again. There was no team pattern, no technical depth
infact nothing to write home about. They were victories I will term luck. How long will he continue to get lucky with no technical depth?
We don dey see am small small

The magnitude of a game and the strenght of the opposition most times will
detemine what strategy, tactics and attitute you take to a game. As long as
you achieve your objective at the end of the day, how you did it is not that
important.

George_D:
Thank you. Your list of amodu 'achievements' are quite instructive.
No wonder you're looking forward to going to SA without the
eagles.

We're talking about a world cup qualifier here and he has done
it before. We need no further proof.

If for any reason he is removed, please not Onigbide of all people.

Cristalz:
@DK
Dude, be happy for soccer, English or otherwise. The English teams are good; why is it so hard to accept? Thought you woulda recovered from your team's brutal demolition by now

Thats an understatement.

Those 4 teams are super strong. Like bagco sack.

The four of them have appeared in the finals of the last 4
UCL finals with an all English final last year. Two of them
have won it.

At least one of them will be in the finals this year if not
another all English final.

Redman44:
Imagine a World Cup in Africa without Nigeria!!!

The world won't miss a thing. . .  

I will be in SA enjoying myself with or without the eagles  

Vieira:
Dayokanu seems to be bitter about this issue, why is that? Is he Platini's love child?

I dont understand it as well.

~Sauron~:
He is better than Fabregas who is yet to score 10 league goals in one season for Arsenal.
People will say there's still time for him to bang 10 goals but it seems Cesc has lost his scoring mojo.

You forgot to mention Van Persie

Yet to score a dozen goals for Arsenal in the league

Eastbay:
akinalabi,
True,the draw to Mozambique is not enough to sack him.
But I look at the circumstances surrounding that result,and it appears he is not competent enough to lead the Eagles.
Sure,Mozambique can hold anyone at home.they held Ivory coat 1-1 i think in the qualifiers for CAN2008.that kind of result can happen to any nation in World cup qualifying.
But when you think that he didn't show any will to win the game (e.g. thru his substitutions,tactics) then I think it's only fair for people to call for his removal.

You mentioned that he won all his games in the first stage.By God,if we can't beat the likes of Sierra Leone,equatorial Guinea and South Africa,despite the fact that there really are no longer any minnows in football,then he should be fired.given the abundance of talent we have at our disposal,nothing short of 6 victories against the kind of opposition we faced is acceptable.

Thank God you're here.

The kind of analysis we were getting here was sickening.

You talked about the will, tactics, substututions etc. We are still
talking about ONE match. Yes, he bungled it in all ways. Is bungling
your first match in the qualifiers a good enough reason to sack
him.

Good you mentioned there are no more winnows. What is
the guarantee that anpther coach would have won all six
matches?

deb:
The team that "performed rubbish" was assembled by Onigbinde in how many months?
FIFA respects that man, but our fire brigade Nigerians will not.

How many months did Amodu have when he took over during
the qualifiers for France 98? It was the Chief's choice to bring in the
likes of Ogbeche so the buck stops at his desk.

Being in the FIFA commitee does not mean he ca do jack.

Do you know Amos Adamu  is the Deputy Chairman of FIFA technical
committee?

There are quite a few of them. Just ensure your shop is cool and
cosy. Of course, the location matters.

So debosky meant future matches? Lol

agabaI23:
No! He should be jailed!

That summarizes the kind of analysis here.

Nonsense!
