Soludo has destroyed the figment of credibility and likeness Igbos once had for him. The guy is so shameless and senseless. At least when you want to do this kind thing you apply some wisdom and decorum and not being so foolish and shameless even when you see that people are taking you as a fool as you attack a great man of integrity and track record called Peter Obi.


Soludo na for Ozonna devil pay you back, enjoy it, that is part of your karma

Obi is no saint, agreed!

But, which of the key aspirants is?!! Yet, you hardly see other aspirants being dragged every second by the top politicians and leaders in their regions.

Prof. Soludo needs to rein it in fast... His desperation to get into the good books of Jagaban is embarrassing.

Lol... Okay, Soludo, agreed... Obi has not done anything for Igbos.

So, what have you yourself done for Igbos?!! Since you were CBN governor, joined politics, and in your second term in office?!!

I don't see Yoruba or Hausa politicians or Fulanis openly doing such against themselves no matter their personal interests.

Further dividing your region and people just because you want a cut of Aso Rock goodies ought to be beneath a man of your own standing.

I am not saying you shouldn't support Tinubu... That's your full right. But, you can do that without constantly dragging and denigrating your fellow clansman, especially someone highly esteemed in your region.

I thought this man was more intelligent than this... So disappointing.

Even Adeleke openly supported Tinubu, and didn't hide the fact that he did that because he is his tribesman.

I have never seen Kwankwaso and Tinubu's vice president openly dragging Atiku.

Igbo people... How can you be politically formidable and relevant if you can't unite in anything?! Smh!!!

Omo... See Sunderland o!

Wetin these lower teams chop this season?

I wonder if Liverpool will now make a U-turn and extend Macca's contract...!

Now, that he has become a proper engine room.

Maresca, time to properly top the league for the next 3 weeks.

FreeStuffsNG:
Smh.
US crisis-free?

You should know I mean "War crisis" not general crisis.

uunwanaobong3:
Are you aware the the sovereign wealth of Saudi Arabia and other gulf states are stored in America?
Are you also aware that all the oil produced in Iraq are owned and sold by America and only 5% derivative is given to Iraqi government.
Are you also aware that most countries in the middle east were artificially created by Britain and America and corrupt detectors were installed as kings to oppressed and serve as money laundry conduit for American empire

I have always known that America and UK are big parasites... But, not to this level!

Haba!!!

Kalulu44:
Shey you see the way you dey use Arsenal troll other teams. You even don talk say I go drop points tmrw. All na make una dey laugh us as Arsenal fans

Guy, even Man United fans dey make money from betting against una team.

uunwanaobong3:
There is nothing like America being-free, the wealth, prosperity and status of America comes mostly from the middle east, anything happening in that region has direct impact in America. America's economy, petro-dollar which support their global military bases in trillions of dollars, their wall street and bond market are all tied to the wealth and oil of the Middle east and Iran knows it.

Believe me, Iran will play America dirty in this war.

Hmmm... This is interesting.

So, let me get this straight...!

Trump's America is crisis-free, while Iran dey attack their fellow Middle Eastern nations just to spite Israel and America.

Kalulu44:
Is like you haven't noticed Arsenal hardly score more than two goals

Yeah... Seeing it now, and I wonder why.

They have the quality to properly dominate teams.

Kalulu44:
Dey whine tata dem you hear.
You don like their model since Arsene Wenger time. Wetin dem dey call that one, no be fanning be that.
You wan use English confuse us abi

To be fan na to support team wholeheartedly through thick and thin...!

I admire the way certain clubs are run... Doesn't mean I support them.

You might be shocked to learn that I admired and respected the work done by Sir. Ferguson at Old Trafford, especially taking club and team from lowly form to formidable champions with a wealthy history...!

Same respect I have for what Guardiola did in Barcelona back then, Ancellotti in Spain and Italy, and Emery in different leagues.

I love it when coaches or managers actually build teams largely from scratch... Which is why I admire what Xavi did at Barcelona as coach...For laying the youth foundation for Flick's current flying success.

Another worthy mention is Cesc Fabregas in Como.


Do you see where I am coming from now?!!

Kalulu44:
Angelfrost which kind question be this. Shey na only Arsenal fans good to laugh other teams fans?
If dem like make dem still win the league, but we must troll them too as they're trolling us

Lol... Sha troll respectfully. Arsenal is more likely than any other team to win the title again.

Rayjay45:
Yen yen yen.

3Bs my foot!

What good are they when neither of them is ever going to win the league?

Everybody just chatting shii today because the champions lost a game.

Since when that be magic in a league this competitive?

Make una gerrout!

You are WRONG and still too arrogant to accept it.

Las las, there will always be few trophies for multiple teams to win... Everyone can't and won't won the Epl no matter how well they all perform.

Try dey focus on the subject matter, and stop this deflection.

Football is not just about winning titles... It's a multi-billion Pounds business, and some clubs have cracked the code, i.e the 3 Bs.

If and when Uefa clamps down fully on this money laundering and exploitation going on in the transfer market, then you will see or understand what we are discussing here.


Any small thing, trophies... Like say the trophies dey add anything to your life personally. Relax o.

Starz825:
Need to learn what? You think its easy

Brighton is obviously running on some business secret only known to the owner-bloom

Check him up on goggle

That nigga is a fcking mathematician and a strategist

Yeah... He is exceptional.

However, the key part of that model is PATIENCE!

Once upon a time, even Chelsea and United operated that way... You build and invest in young talents, groom them, and have a plan for the entire team progression.

Sadly, the pursuit of quick results and trophies has eroded this basic culture.

Kalulu44:
They're scoring for fun. Before this match, they have 8 different players to have scored for them already this season.

You can see how well balanced they are all round... Like they never sold a single player this season.

Clubs need to learn from these "B" clubs.

This is how to run a football business.

At least, Chelsea fans go sleep well this night...!

Arsenal has just taken the weight off their shoulders.

Kalulu44:
You're spot on on that.
3nil game over for Arsenal. Arsenal hardly score two goals talkless of 3 or 4 to win this game

Yeah... Sadly, it's game over.

3 points dropped!

Brighton is on a dangerous run...2 top clubs destroyed within the space of a few days.

Hurzeler, take your flowers.

Arteta and Arsenal just wake today decide say nothing for Punters...!

Men go cry blood again this weekend.

Haydens:
I am 100% sure that Barca must lose 1 or 2 matches this season. It is certain and as sure as a day.

Yes, they will lose at least 2, and one of them will likely be against either of the Madrid clubs.

However, for every game wey Barca go lose, Real Madrid go lose at least 2, Atleti 3.

Hansi Flick is more than likely grabbing a historic 3rd title in a row.

His team is practically unplayable at the moment.

Kalulu44:
You're very spot on. Especially Brighton and Bournemouth. Buying smart players for little to nothing and selling them for premium.
Two seasons ago, Bournemouth sold two of their top centre backs in Huijsen and Zabarnyi to Madrid and PSG and it didn't affect them, last season they sold their best player in Semenyo. Yet they're soldiering on as if nothing went amiss.
Brighton, let's not even go their side.
We can see the huge amount they have made on Caicedo, Baleba and co.

Before those clubs release any player in any position, just know that they have already trained and positioned his replacement ahead of time.

Same with their coaches... Haven't you observed that they don't sack coaches, at least not in recent times.

They know when their managers are ripe to move up to bigger clubs, and quietly scout their replacements... Unlike Man United, Chelsea and others who start desperately hunting for key replacements in the middle of seasons or when season has almost started.

SonOfWords:
Low budget Peter Drury😂😭. Brighton go mend nonsense comot for your body today.

Drury sef go dey speechless when final result begin read:

Brighton 2
Arsenal 3


It's not something new in football na.

Wordson:
Na every weekend u dey change club.

But Leopard no fit change him skin color, Na Man United u be, u no fit change am

If dem by mistake begin lead by 2 nil tomorrow, you go see am running around the thread shouting "Bring Bayern Now".

SonOfWords:
Deacon Frost is high on copium😭.

Over 50 minutes to play... Can Brighton tie down the Champions till final whistle?!!

Time plenty... We shall be here.

fergie001:
Every Brighton fan will be glad if we win today, I believe we will.

Mtchewwww... Prepare to drop at least 2 points tomorrow.

Even my Peacocks now play far better football than you guys.

ndidibabe:
Not this Arsenal.

Why?!!

2 nil is nothing... With the right subs, they can even win the game.

Againstthewall:
Woah, na today I truly confirm say you be arsenal fan. Nothing you want tell me.

Nope... I like their approach to the game and I admire their business model, right from Wenger time.

However, I have only been and will ever be a fan of the fast-rising Leeds United.

Wordson:
lol hahaha
Things I like to hear

Everybody go drop points... That's normal.

Besides, time plenty... Arsenal fit still equalize.

Kalulu44:
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!
Fear the 3 Bs. Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton. Snooze and they punish you.

Those clubs are properly and smartly run... Their owners are like chess grandmasters.

I deeply admire their approach to the business of club management.

If Uefa tightens and fully enforces its Financial fair play (FFP), many top clubs will have to learn from them.

For the best part, they make massive profits while playing great football, and achieve all these without being in the spotlight.

fergie001:
Things I like to see 😂

Talk true... Wetin you go gain if Arsenal drop points today?!

They will still win the league, and una go still finish outside top 6.

Sigh... When are they sacking De Zerbi?!!

This is just too much.

Reference:
When footy clubs seek to buy Spanish gaffers they need to understand that the great Espana is split into two prominent, competing cultures, the Castilian and the Basque.

Moreso in football where these two horses have been led into battle by prominent generals, Vincente Del Bosque for Castillia and Johan Cruyff for the Basque country.

These icons have defined what Spanish soccer is today by their distinct, competing patterns of play that has affected a generation of gaffers today.

So distinct it is that your identity as a coach, your philosophy as a player is firmly bedded in one or the other. You are enamoured by one and totally repulsed by the other.

The expansive, tech heavy, total football of the Del Bosque game or the possession football, aka tiki-taka or the Cruyff game. Almost all Spanish gaffers subscribe to one or the other exclusively.

The few Spanish league games I watch you can observe that, teams either try to play like Barcelona or try to play like Real Madrid. And those who are unfortunate to switch coaches frequently find out the price of this discordance.

One season they are doing well the next season with a new gaffer they crash since the players they bought earlier find the adjustments hard to follow. Villarreal for instance is presently in this quagmire.

So if you sit in England and seek the football mastery of the Spanish gaffer, look at your team first as to whether they have the seeds, the elements of Basque football or Castillia in them.

If it is a hodge-podge of talents then know that it will take extreme patience, the kind Arsenal gave Arteta to rid his team of Madrid like players such as the Ozils of the world in favour of his kind, the kind that play like Barcelona or Man.City, tiki-taka, false 9, short passing midgets like Saka and Odegaard.

Chelsea will have to go full Galactico and give him time to purge the team if they want Alonso to bring trophies. I look at that team and immediately see the kind of players that don't fit this philosophy but most Chelsea fans will not take theur ejection....

Well, there in lies the problem...!

Time is not a luxury most big clubs can afford for coaches like Amorim and Alonso to build or instill philosophies and patterns.

If United, for instance, were like Arsenal, Amorim would be in his 3rd season by now, and who knows, his team might be doing some serious damage too.
