Sports / CLUB FOOTBALL FANS AND THEIR ATTITUDE by amoss: 10:41am On Nov 13, 2014
Someone posted this on his face book account and I began to wonder how true this is,
but honestly there seem to be an iota of truth in his revelation on how football fans react about their clubs and i feel i should share this.


He tags it ''FOOTBALL FANS AND THEIR ATTITUDES''

Barcelona Fans - Even though they are one of the greatest, they make no noise, this shows how mature they are.

Real Madrid Fans - They act like kings but talk less

Man City fans - I don't even know if they exist

Liverpool Fans - Claiming to be kings when they are not, though they act wisely

Chelsea Fans - Oh my goodness, they're d worst, they always talk ''rubbish'' and too arrogant, they claim to b the best and yet they have less trophies than all d mentioned teams, they hate history because their club have none... Amos can't share the rest of the comment grin

Manchester United Fans - best sets of fans, though they talk, they're friendly, they are the most
successful club in England and they never give up!!!!....

The fan confirms he's a Gunner, so where do you belong and what do you think your normal reaction is when your club is being discussed ?

See what he said about Arsenal fans here >> http://sportstalkwithamos..com/2014/11/football-fans-and-how-they-react-about.html

For me, ''So this guy is an Arsenal fan, hmmm, okay lets see how positive this argument will end for him. Hahahaa.... I also feel this is related to Nigerian football fans or what do you think?
Sports / Congo Vs Nigeria: They Say It's ''do Or Die'' Against The Devils by amoss: 1:49pm On Nov 12, 2014
Written by Amos Joseph
It is reported that Super Eagles of Nigeria will depart Nigeria for Congo Brazaville
on Thursday to keep a date with the Red devils of Congo on Saturday in the AFCON 2015
qualifying match billed for Saturday 15 November.

The spirit is high, the fitness of the boys is at satisfactory level and
they are ready to battle for a place in the competition which is scheduled for
next year with the host unknown at the time of publishing.
That's what hear from the camp of the team in the nation's capital city, Abuja.

Of course the Super Eagles want to avoid the dire consequences of losing a point
in the remaining two games - Congo and South Africa. Victory is non-negotiable, so to speak.
That is the situation the Eagles find themselves, after losing to Congo in Calabar,
Falcons of Sudan in Khartoum, and securing a draw with South Africa on away soil
before coming home to beat Sudan 3-1 at home.

The Team still has a chance of qualifying especially after the spirited 3-1 win
over Sudan which placed the Eagles in third spot on the group log.
They fought hard, played hard, kicked hard and won the hard way.

It could be recalled that the Coach of the Nigeria senior national team,
Stephen Keshi was then relieved of his position but was later reinstated
after ''interference from superior authority'' as the news made the rounds.
And now that he's back along with his assistants ''to continue from where they stopped'',
hard ball is what Nigerians expect, may be a replica of the last performance against Sudan.

Champions League last week, however, the Gunners boss agreed that
his team lacked ''some spark or killer instinct'' to seal off games right now.

''It’s disappointing to throw a game away like we did. We were 1-0 up
and had to be tight defensively and wait for that second chance.
But you have to credit Swansea who didn’t give up,'' Said Wenger.

This Wenger sef, he even said his team lacked Killer instinct to finish off games.

Sports / Anderlecht Draw Was Shocking But The Team Is Not Moved By Criticism -wenger by amoss: 10:54am On Nov 07, 2014
Arsenal manager Arsene wenger has described Tuesday's 3-3 draw against Anderlecht

Many football pundits and fans have also criticized Wenger and his team for
losing such a number of goals to Anderlecht being fully aware of its implication.

"That's the job of people who work on TV or in newspapers. They're just doing their job"

"We are very positive inside the camp. We are not affected by negativity. We are not happy when we don't win but that's it"

Sports / Courtney Dike Refuses Nigeria’s $7,000 World Cup Bonus, So What? by amoss: 4:53pm On Nov 06, 2014
Facts have shown that players request or riot over unpaid allowances is more rampant
among African nations as clearly exhibited during the Brazil 2014 FIFA World Cup.
This show of shame tells the world how football is being administered
in this part of the world when it comes to remuneration which could either be allowances or tournament reward.

Ghana, Cameroun and Nigeria were at the fore of this dismal show
as players held their national teams to ransom while in competition mood,
which however cannot be extricated from the performance of the team at that time.

How money can be a huge distraction.

When the news broke that a player who represented Nigeria at this year’s
FIFA Under 20 Women’s World Cup turned down the monetary reward offered her
by the Nigerian Football Federation, it quickly spread like a conflagration owing to its oddity.

Simply put, we are not used to this kind of news when it comes to sports in Nigeria.
Courtney Dike was born and bred in the United States of America, plays for Oklahoma State Football Team,
she preferred to represent fatherland for ‘’patriotism sake’’
since she refused the $7,000 World Cup bonus handed her which sent shock down our spines.

Courtney told the Nigerian officials who called her that playing for Nigeria was enough,
and that she prides over monetary reward. What a mentality you may want to say.
But please don’t forget where she is coming from.

For arising as a compatriot and heeding to Nigeria’s call,
she and her family deserve all the plaudits they are getting right now,
it is an uncommon act that will send a message around the world
of how a Nigerian can damn the ‘’papers’’ all in the name of patriotism.
(Nigeria’s national anthem capture the story of her action)

Despite the importance of that goal, The Reds' manager Louis Van Gaal
frowned at the manner in which his player took to celebrate, branding it as ''stupid''
saying the player's move was not smart.

You may wonder why the coach is not pleased, well,
may be players should be asked if the letters are not clear enough for them to understand.
It costs the player himself, let alone the team. It is tantamount to piercing ones self in the eye.
Although it come as a natural impulse, what can you then say of players who ensure they do not celebrate when they score against a side they have once fielded for? Come on, players can avoid the extremism and be modest in jubilation so as to leave all parties at peace.

The game is for humans and not robots hence the game is full of emotions-obcenity can be tamed but not players' reactions when they score
