@wesley80

so in your opinion,the human rights of palestines should besacrificed because isreal cannot maintain peace with its neighbours?isreal has one major problem and that problem is isreal itself.it continues to equip itself with weapons both nuclear and otherwise,it keeps threatening its neighbours with attacks and keeps depending on the US to broker peace when things backfire.i am happy erdogan finally came to his senses


Israel only warns its neighbous to stop attacking them or face the consequence. No nation under such threats will seat back and not arm itself. Israel has more enemies than any other nation in the world. You expect them to be quiet while Iran arms itself with Nuclear bomb? A nation that has said it wants to wipe them off the map.
Hamas and Hezbola fires rockets into Israel at will and in many cases use civilian areas as lunch pads. When Isreal attacks back they say Israel is killing civilians.
Israel imposed a blockade on Gazza b/c weapons were smuggled in from there. Off course the world will cry foul that they are not allowing food in but will not cry foul of the weapons being brought in to fight Israel.
Don't be fooled by what you see on the news media, painting Israel as wicked, the fact remains that if Israel stops all the blockade etc (which its done b4), it will not necessarily lead to an improvement to Palistine and its pple, it will be another systematic clensing of the jewish pple.

Neither did the following exist as at 1922,
Jordan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iraq . . .

Israel is about one of the tiniest nations on earth, a nation that gave up the sinai for peace (more than 2ce the size of israel) . . . to be accused of "extending" their land? What a joke these misinformed islamists are.

Please tell them,

An independent Palestinian government strongly backed by Hamas and Hezbollah with freedom to become what it wants to be and trade with whoever it wishes? What really has the PLO done to deserve statehood? All I've heard are emotional comments far torn from the reality that is the Middle East, the Middle East is a tinder box, statehood for Palestinians wld only ignite it, the rest of the world knows it and even though they all show open support for independence, they are counting on the US' veto to maintain peace.

The issue is not having a two state solution, this can be done imediately.  The Palistinians want East Jeruselem as their capital.  There are other places they can use but no, them get big eye.  Boy! That is absolutely a no no no.  Jeruselem must not be divided as its the eternal capital of Israel, given to them by God himself.

Finally Bartender leaves. Haleluiah! Let him go and score 25 goals this season, then we may consider bringing him back.

If he does not then we will ship him far away from the shores of Britain and Europe. Probably to the MLS or Kargistan.

Why can't he spend 20million on a big name. Why Why why why

Meriles from liverpool would have been good.  At least the guy can shoot from outside the box.  Instead chelsea has him.

All these penny penny players na wa ohhh,
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Arsenal Fan Thread (the Night Is Darkest Just Before The Dawn) by asscend: 6:01pm On Aug 31, 2011
On the day he is good but he is too injury prone.  In a season he could play 15games.

Is that what Arsenal needs now?  Abeg 10million is more than enough for an over 30.

If they sign him then Arsene should also sign another central midfielder as this one no go last all season.

This seems to be becoming the latest trend in Nigeria.


Yes it is. Thats because many state government are begining to wake up to their responsibilities. These structures were allowed to spring up by corrupt and inept administrators and local govt chairmen. Structural development will never happen if they don't knock down these illegal structures. The question we should be asking the Abia leader is; why did it take his administration this long to act?

Seconded,

It will be nice if we begin to say which one needs to be merged and stop all the bashing,

Lets be creative here as bashing does not help the matter.

For once the President is using a recomendation lets see how far it goes, until then lets provide solutions and stop all these negative talk.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Arsenal Fans Thread (for Arsenal Fans) by asscend: 4:20pm On Aug 18, 2011
Wenger says one thing and does another.  I beleive his plan is to raise another young group for another 3 years and then sell them all over again  The excuse for not winning trophies will be this team is a young team.

Chembarlin, Myachi, Jenkinson and Geovinoh are the replacements for Nasri, Fab, Eboue and Clichy.

I no longer speculate on who Arsenal is bringing in as i beleive Wenger has already done his business.   All the best to the new boys.  They will get enough playing time, develop and be sold for huge transfer fees, where they can win trophies.

To Arsenal fans, enjoy pretty passes coupled with enegertic and youthful display, unfortunately they will be no trophies as the team lacks the final cutting edge as witnessed in previous seasons.  Nothing has changed,

Nasri may leave tomorrow, or he may not leave till after the CL qualifier.

Knowing how stubborn Arsene is, he might just play Nasri on Saturday to force Citeh to either up their price or pay upfront.

My view is that Arsene will not sign any new players (at least won't officially announce them) till after the CL qualifier. If we do qualify, then you will likely see one or two players, but not before.

I expect Cesc's fee will be reinvested, but Nasri's is a bit up in the air - if we fail to qualify, the rumoured £25m will be used to make up for the lost CL funds. If we do qualify, he may be sold and the money banked to give bigger profits at the year end (yawn) or, shocker of all shockers, to sign a quality replacement.

Fans just need to be patient - barring a disaster on Saturday that leads to fans calling for Wenger's sack, don't expect any inward movement till after Wednesday at the earliest.

Reports say Nasri is in Manchester at the moment. Hmm i thought this sale will come on the last day of the window so Wenger could bank the money. Well seems events are moving faster than Wenger can handle.

Brov Arsenal fans are very patient, however the lies of the board through the years is being exposed and unfortunately the hammer will fall on Wenger as he has been their puppet for too long.

If we want to sell this guy, abeg lets sell him. Im sure he has played more matches for other clubs than he has for Arsenal since he 'joined' us.

You are right. Arsene keeps him as a cocumbine, thus not selling him out right but loaning him each season. wink wink

Can't Rosicky be included in transfer or loan?  That guy spends more time injured than playing.

He is a liability to the team at present and i think he will be the scape goat this season,

This is a very intresting game coming up, i don't have much confidence in the present state of this squad.

At the end of 90minutes, Arsenal might just find themselves taking the Europa route. Even though there is another leg next week, if they loose or even draw their home match today its bye bye.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Arsenal Fans Thread (for Arsenal Fans) by asscend: 12:14pm On Aug 16, 2011
Since Eboue is going, he should also include mr Sicky Oh sorry Rosicky to the departure list.

That guy is just a waste of space, i will rather one of the reserves play than him.

You see? Giving Gervinho that 27 jersey was a stroke of genius by Wenger - in one fell swoop he replaced our diving, slapping and makossa dancing Ivorian, plus added a big forehead as well. grin grin cheesy

Apparently Bendtner might feature today according to Arsene. . . .frankly with Vela likely going on loan and Gervinho and Chamakh going to the ACN, I think it would make much more sense to keep him than to sell him, and then struggle to bring in a replacement.


Thats true,

owobokiri:

People who think that seperation will stop this nonsense are not realistic. Even if Nigeria will break up tomorrow, it is in the interest of everybody concerned including southerners to defeat Boko Haram now. They should be summarilly extinguished. If  you think that by giving them their 12 states things will be ok, you are making a big mistake. Once they have succeded in taking over the north, their next target will be the south. Since the days of Dan-fodio, these irritants have always visited the south with violence and while i dont mind seperation, i honestly dont think it will ever curtail the northerners penchant for violent aggression against the south. Total Defeat will.
