@ Mustay, thank youfor your care and how you dey?

Mouth is not used to play soccer, Saturday is around the corner.

BLUE FOR LIFE!

You should not be surprised and also the NFA should be blamed for employing a failure as a coach for the super eagles.

Olu Omo of Super Eagles and Chelsea of England JOHN OBI MIKEL is the best player.

MC Omo!!!
How far?

I have been held up with work

Though no two seasons can be identical

Thank God you know that.

Truly, there is nothing impossible but this is impossible because 2004 is totally different from 2008.

I Love that.

Even the Sky is painted blue.

Playing good footbal or not is none of your business. therefore, you can find something to discuss about.

Hello to you all,
Chelsea for life.

Its not a new thing in football to draw a match.

When are you playing your oustanding match with Newcastle?

I am confident that we are not going to loose that encounter, with SWP in his best form and all the rest of the players.

Jackal, up United.

i have told you to deceit from wishing us bad luck but you insist.

I pray it continue like this for united (goaless draw, 1-1, 2-2, 3-3) etc.

You shouldn't be surprise about that. Liverpool will surely scale through.

Thanks for the info

If you want towatch any drama you can go to Silverbird cinemas, just mention which movie you want and i will get you the ticket.

Will Chelsea, Arsenal and Manyoo match going to be shown the same time?

A deal has been agreed about Daniel Alves

Chelsea Agree 36M Alves Deal; Robben Move To Follow

Sevilla's prized asset is on the way to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea's top brass met with their Sevilla counterparts in a Madrid hotel this evening. They settled on an initial fee of 32 million euros, with 4 more to follow based on various performance related clauses.

As Real Madrid stepped away from the Brazilian, Chelsea will open the door for out-of-favour winger Arjen Robben.

It's just another day in the European transfer market,

Chelsea have agreed a fee for Sevilla's attack-minded right-back Daniel Alves.

The roving defender shot to fame over the last two years after a series of powerful performances for the Andalucian side, helping them on their way to two successive UEFA Cups, a Spanish Cup, and a third placed finish in La Liga.

Since signing from Bahia in 2002, the player has slowly but steadily grown in stature, but last season was to be his annus mirabilis and one that ensured the top-tier clubs just could not stay away.

Sevilla were unable to hold onto their prized asset: the player had all but refused to compete in the Champions League qualifiers this week so as not to jeopardise his chances of playing in the prestigious competition for Chelsea.

He had previously spoken out publicly of his desire to play for the London club in a move that will give him a chance to play in the Premiership - perhaps suiting his swift, powerful style - and, of course, receive a hefty pay raise courtesy of Mr. Abramovich.

And it seems that he has tonight got his wish after a Chelsea delegation, including general manager Peter Kenyon, agreed a fee of around 32 million euros with the Andalucian club.

The Blues could yet be liable for 4 million more: rumour has it that there are a raft of extras tacked on to the offer, including international appearance fees.

Robben To Madrid

And this move is not all. It could set into motion a three-pointed transfer switch involving Chelsea, Sevilla and Real Madrid.

After spending around £25m on Alves, Chelsea supremo Roman Abramovich may wish to recoup some of his investment by selling off unwanted assets - such as Arjen Robben. Florent Malouda's superb form as well as ability to fit easily into Mourinho's 4-4-2 has deemed him surplus to needs.

The Dutch winger has fallen from grace at Stamford Bridge and, with Real Madrid standing by with an offer of around 30-35 million euros, now is the time for Chelsea to sell.

Both sporting director Pedrag Mijatovic and president Ramon Calderon comprise a Robben fan club at the Bernabeu. Indications are that a revised bid from Madrid identical to Chelsea's for Alves, will be accepted.

A previous attempt, reportedly including a joint bid for superstar central midfielder Michael Ballack, fizzled out amidst massive differences in valuation.

Cicinho

Finally, if Real Madrid get Robben, they in turn will look to sell off an unsettled player of their own - which brings us back to Sevilla. With Dani Alves out of the picture, coach Juande Ramos is eagerly seeking another right-back, and not just as cover.

The likes of Andreas Hinkel can already fill that position, as can Boulahrouz - ex-Chelsea, of course - and perhaps, at a push, Aquivaldo Mosquera, although the latter is really a centre-back.

All are considered either stopgap solutions, or better elsewhere. So, clearly a first choice right back is on the agenda and, in Real Madrid, Cicinho have a great candidate.

The Brazilian is out of favour at the Bernabeu, having started just five games last season and, with the Madrid hierarchy none too bothered about the player's future, he may be available at a discount.

Certainly, any fee paid for would pale in comparison to that received for Alves. Nonetheless, the loss of the man who played almost 200 games for the Andalucian side cannot only be measured in euros. His absence will be keenly felt on the right flank, where he was so instrumental to Sevilla's recent successes.

But such is football. Money talks.

Cicinho, however, is currently closer to a move to Roma, so it is very much possible that Sevilla will just have to be happy with the big bag of cash. That's a difficult thing to be unhappy with!

Also Alex has been unveiled to the press and given Number 33 jersey.

What about Paul Scholes.

he leads the way in yellow cards and fouls.

It is normall, no player can run away for Yellow card.

I red it in anews paper that it wasn't their fault for not showing Arsenal Vs fullham on Sunday. Here is what they say:

Managing Director of HITV, Toyin Subair has apologised on behalf of his organisation to Nigerians, particularly teeming fans of London-based Arsenal, over his company's failure to bring to the living rooms of their ever-increasing subscribers the live broadcast of last Sunday's encounter between the Gunners and Fullham. the boss of the 100 percent Nigeria-owned outfit revealed that technical faults from the UK-based satelite providers prior to the commencement of the early afternoon fixture at Arsenal's Emirate stadium was the actual reason for the botched live transmission.

"First, we apologise for (the live broadcast) not happening", said Subair. "It had nothing to do with our own quality here. it had to do with a confusion between the satelite providers and those who were turning around the signals for us.

"But they were able to remedy it before we started the ManchesterUnited-Reading match.
We apologise for teeming Arsenal supporters because we are here in this business to give to them at the best price", he added.

We are not making any excuses by saying things 'forgive us, bear with us, that we are new company', no. We are doing everything to make sure we give them the best, stressed the Lagos-born business executive who called for greater understanding from Nigeria footballs fans while also expressing his organisation's desire to get better in the days and weeks ahead.

@ Topeorekoy

There is no team work, no one to distribute the ball for the guy.

Here is the latest news about Alves and Robben:

Robben Will Go If Alves' Bid Is Accepted

Arjen Robben's move to Real Madrid will finally be pushed through if Chelsea's latest offer for Daniel Alves is accepted by Sevilla.

The long-running saga of both players could be concluded after Roman Abramovich put forward another bid close to the €40m being demanded for Alves.

While the Russian oligarch can afford the outlay for the Brazilian full-back, he is keen to recoup the majority of his outlay by selling Robben.

According to reports in Spain, everything is in place for the Dutchman to move to the Bernabéu and the only thing holding the deal up is the transfer fee.

Chelsea want €40m, while Madrid are not prepared to go above €30m and negotiations have focussed solely on that problem.

The Spanish giants have also expressed their interest in Alves in recent days, but understand that Bernd Schuster's first choice is Robben.

Sevilla were open to Madrid's approach for Alves as it was believed to have included Cicinho, who would have been a welcome addition to the UEFA Cup holders' squad.

If they finalise that move, then they would be hard-pushed to justify spending a similar amount on Alves as well.

Marca expects both deals to be signed if Sevilla finally bow to the pressure being applied form Stamford Bridge.

I am in the best position to do so.

For the fact Fergie is older that Wenger he is still better than Wenger not to talk about him when he was his age mate.

I am delighted by the way the break the monopoly of DSTV.

You are very right Mustay.

They really love JM but to say it out is their problem.

Van Persie is a good prediction, if not for last season injury, it won't be easy for Aderogba to have clinch the Golden Boot award.

The guy is also back this season, he saved Arsenal against Fullham, i think he is a good contestant for the GB.

Martins is also a player that is very focussed and a good finisher but i doubt him. Am not doubting is ability but his partners.

I didn't watch their first match where he scored two goals and presently leading but i was told that he would have scored more than that if not for the selfishness of Mark Viduka.

Waiting for more predictions.

Keep it rolling! Make the room bubble!

The money placed n Alves is too much, if we can't get him for anything less than 20M, i think we should hands-off.

We can get a very good RB in the french league, look at Sagna for instance and host of others or what do you guys think.

We are playing Reading at home tomorrow, hoping for a good result.

Gunners, let your mind be at peace.

Sparta Prague is not a threat for you at all, in your last two games you won 1-0 and 2-0.
