Lol, I didn't even know he saved penalty ystdy but I'm Turner is the better keeper to Ramsdale in terms of PK saving.
It's even one of his attributes I read when we bought him
if this is the case, then Arteta should've brought him on then even if it was during extra time. There's no shame in bringing him on at that point na

Arteta sha
He knew turner was a better keeper in penalties yet he left ramsdale to be jumping around in that Europa loss
Another deficiency he have to work on, there’s no shame in switching keepers if one have an edge
grin grin grin

How did u come to this conclusion? Is it because of the two penalties he saved yesterday ? Do u know if he hasn't saved any penalty in training till date ?

Sometimes ehn football na spirit, some players don't impress in training at all thereby making chances of entering the starting line-up nearly zero! I doubt any serious coach that wants to win a trophy will leave their best hands on the bench just to sabotage himself

Well he got a lot of emergency supporters who thought they could unseat APC and Tinubu
Do u blame people for taking sides with someone they feel is being removed not because he's incompetent but because he had rofo rofo fight with the powers that be? It is just normal for people in the society to always want to side with prsons they feel are being victimized na.

Have u forgotten that as at March 2018 all the the 3 senators representing Lagos in the senate including Tinubu's own wife went to Ambode's office and said they are passing a vote of confidence in him for his performance thus far? How the guy became a political orphan in his own party by September-October was shocking.

even a useless . worthless radioactive good for nothing but controversy piece of sxxt like ffk is back in APC - in spite of all the nonsense he had to say about tinubu in the past.

so a person like ambo - who simply took his licks and kept his mouth shut - much like ribadu may eventually come in from the cold
Yeah give him that, Ambode has kept his mouth shut ever since that slip about Sanwoolu being an ex-psycho few days to the primaries .
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by BlueRayDick: 3:24pm On Jul 10, 2023
This country called Nigeria na cruise! Wait, I will tell u why.

1. So the MURIC guy Ishaq Akintola clocked 70 recently and retires from academics. At his retirement party and book launch Elrufai made this statement :

As a people, the earlier we distill ourselves from the primordial ethno-religious perception of things, especially as it concerns national leadership, the better for us.

The way with which the present administration at the centre is changing things for the common good of the Nigerian people within a short period shows that leadership should be hinged on merit and not entitlement basis.

We must de-emphasise religion and ethnic colouration for us to build a society where no one should be discriminated upon on the basis of ethic nationality, religion or political leaning.

As members of the two major religious group in the country, if we find ourselves in public positions, we should ensure we practice the basic principles of leadership as encapsulated in both Christian and Islamic religion.
2. In summary Elrufai is saying it doesn't matter what religion a political office holder practices, let him just perform well(Like he did in Kaduna undecided) and that's all that matters. No need balancing the religious card.

3. So today Elrufai's host; the learned professor Akintola releases a statement condemning Gov. Ademola Adeleke of Osun State for appointing 17 Christians and 7 muslims as commissioners in Osun State. He described Adeleke as a secret agent of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) with a licence to oppress Muslims

4. MURIC described Adeleke's actions as follows:

We condemn this wanton blockage of privileges that should go to Muslims and their diversion to over-pampered and over-fed Christians in Osun State. By deceiving Muslims in the state and engaging in spiritual hide and seek, Governor Adeleke has exhibited qualities odoriferously short in honour and dignity but egregiously long in infamy and bohemianism

The goal of Adeleke’s deception is for the perpetuation of the marginalization, shortchanging and oppression of Muslims in Osun State. Adeleke is a secret agent of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN). Like the legendary James Bond, a.k.a. 007 who had the licence to kill, Adeleke has now acquired the licence to oppress Osun Muslims by becoming governor of the state.

But it is for a while. Time will tell. Governor ‘James Bond’ and the few selfish Muslims whom he is using will soon see that honesty and openness are what makes enduring leadership. Almighty Allah says, ‘And do not barter away My verses for trivial gain, and fear Me alone.’ (Glorious Qur’an 2:41).

For the avoidance of doubts, we are solidly for meritocracy but the latter does not reside in Christiandom alone. Eminently qualified Muslims abound in large number for those who seek fairness and equity. Gone are those days when anyone can use wool to cover the eyes of Muslims.
So many questions begging for answers here.

Did MURIC not see Elrufai did in Kaduna as wanton blockage of privileges that should go to Muslims and their diversion to over-pampered and over-fed Christians in Kaduna State?

If he did, why didn't he state so immediately Elrufai finished his speech at his book lunch 24 hours ago?

Why is MURIC releasing a statement to condemn what Elrufai glamorize at his book launch just 24 hours ago?

Is Elrufai right for what he said about Kaduna State and MURIC wrong for what he said about Osun State ?

Will reinforce what I have always believed that removing Ambode was beyond Tinubu rather it was party stakeholders and elders who were getting cut off from projects

And more importantly Tinubu does not keep a grudge. At this point he has no reason to please Ambode, he is already president has achieved the pinnacle of his political career there is nothing Ambode can do to help or hurt him
I still think Tinubu had more hand in removing Ambode than party members for real. Prior to the run up to the primary election almost all the party members thought Ambode was returning. I have friends and relatons who are APC members, most of them didn't see Ambode removal coming at all.

Yes u are right, Tinubu doesn't always close the door on people totally. The fact that someone like Obanikoro could come back to work with him always makes me believe Ambode might still stage a comeback to the Lagos political scene irrespective of his differences with Tinubu in the past.

It can never cancel out years of muscle and bone build up or the effects of male genetics. Those medications are not magic bullets that cancel nature.

There is a reason why most of these male to female trans athletes are dominating the women despite all the hormonal medications. There is also a reason why the most doped up female athletes in history like Marion Jones and Flo Jo despite all the steroids and other performance enhancers that they took have times that can't compare with the world's best male 16-year-olds.
As in.... It's just so straightforward .

There's no amount of hormonal drugs a Messi or Ronaldo will take after cutting off their prickk that will ever make them competing against Lauren James, Megan Rapinoe fair. It's not even something that requires argument

What he’s simply saying is that the state comprises of extremist Muslims who will not hestitate to butcher isese worshippers which will then turn into serious problem for the state government or federal government to handle .

What he said is no different from the Sokoto state governor saying the state will deal with blashpemers against the holy prophet instead of talking about bringing the mob that killed Usman for alleged blasphemy to Justice .

Evaluating the fitness level of players in a competitive game (even though it is a friendly) without the distraction of the media or fans.

Since this is preseason and the first for the first team players, there is nothing really tactical, mostly fitness level and conditioning of returning players.

This will help Arteta and his training staff get a baseline idea of where everyone is and what they need to work on for each player as summer training heats up.
Okay. This makes sense .

I used to think the closed door friendlies are unnecessary risks in which players can get injured before new seaon begins

I just read what Gabriel Jesus said about what Guardiola did that made him decide on leaving city. Honsetly if I was in his shoes I will feel the same way too.

I’m sure he wasn’t under rant illusion when he joined city and he knew he will be behind Aguero in the pecking order . But Guardiola now still benching him for non-proven goal scorers even by the end of Aguero’s city career was disrespectful . It showed he didn’t really matter in his plans to the extent of using Zinchenko as false 9 🤦‍♂️

Na only african player that thinks only about money will sit down on the bench and continue to collect free salary o. A Brazilian that wants to compete for a shirt in his national team will surely leave like Jesus did.

His story just further confirmed that Guardiola in a real dangbana choko.
