flick small boy , some jokes write themselves ... game day , any possibility liVarpool drop points with citeh also..will open a small window for us

Window to go do what ? To collect small breeze ?

Jodera:


Actually, I'm not finding leeway for Lacazette, I'm just solely focused on the team. While I agree Laca lack of goals are killing our vibe, but most times the team do take this long route to evade pressure and Laca falls flat in winning those kind of ball. I remember our 2nd goal in NLD in which Auba scored from. The outball from Tierney was what Auba won from by laying it along ESR path. A Laca wouldn't have won that ball. Just a plan b in case of turns of event and that's another thing we truly lack upfront when retaining pressure

Any intelligent player would’ve won the ball and do the same thing Auba did. It was just a normal ball that required one touch pass to Smith Rowe who was on the break. If u say Lacazette would’ve held on too much to the ball , I may not argue with u.... his reputation precedes him on that

Jodera:
Except we'll want to buy another striker to compete with him too. I'll need a striker who's also good aerially, this lack of aerial threat from Lacazette is really killing our vibe and I don't want to go through this again and I don't think lautaro is good at that too

It’s Lacazette’s inability to score that is killing our vibe, not lack of aerial threat.

Arsenal for years now has not relied on scoring with nodding , neither have our keepers been known to launch long balls as goalkicks which strikers are expected to contest upfront. In fact, out of the 68 goals Auba scored for arsenal I doubt he scored up to 10 with his head sef.

All this kind backdoor u dey take snuggle Lacazette into better striker discussion, we won’t take it

Okro soup

Izurejoice:
What do guys make of this. He does not seem to me as an out and out striker, which i think is what we need

He will be a good addition if we can have Martinelli performing optimally at the left hand side of attack....we already have Saka locking down the right side.

Getting a replacement for Xhaka/Mustafi will also do us good as those two are unreliable thus far.

If we add Martinez as CF it will make sense so far we have the two players flanking him upfront are at their best as well.

50d33q:
I hope it's one of those useless April Fool cos I hate rough play in my life

Normal April foool. U should not take any news like that serious on a day like this.

Saka that had to withdraw from England squad cos he caught COVID-19

Izurejoice:
Arteta picks his manager of the month for march, his second for this season.

Wow! Baba no dey play at all.

raumdeuter:
This is Buharis home state

https://www.nairaland.com/7056890/angry-youths-set-apc-campaign

After presidency probably Buhari will retire to Eko Atlantic cos Katsina no sure for am even Abuja

Buhari that already spends most of his days ruling us in the UK while his wife has practically relocated to Dubai and only comes to visit once in a while

Nothing concern baba, if dem like make dem burn state house sef for Katsina

Nothing sweet pass working remotely

So I had to drive out early this morning to get one or two things from the superstore for the weekend.


Current situation : Snacking on Hot spicy suya + cold Palm wine from my fridge

raumdeuter:
Hazard is playing in Madrid a team stronger than PSG yet he is posting the worst numbers ever seen in football history for an attacker

Neymar in PSG, Neymar in Barcelona even Neymar in his sleep is better than Hazard in Madrid

Jodera:
Am I missing something or is ESR part of midfield now?

See Ur answer below

50d33q:
Don't worry lacazette is now lans others went for international break Baba scored hattrick against Brentford team b with holding awon agbaya meji
How many times we wan beat that team b sef

I saw the news, I just hissed say na people wey he fit score be this àbí?

Me I sha like how holding respects himself and enjoys his new role of coming on in the last 10 minutes using his fingers to announce change in formation especially when we are defending a lead

[quote author=Bigchristo post=111518843][/quote]You've not said anything new. Like I said earlier, I meant the contextual use and not the literal definition u just gave.

Everyone knows armed bandits have been terrorising the northwestern states in the past one week. The reporter delibrately used the word the bandits in this news piece when he could've easily used "armed robbers" just to click bait curious mind. These kind of robberies have been happening in the past and nobody calls it Banditry. He's only riding on the current trend.

It's just like a bank robbery happening in the east today and a reporter claiming "unknown gunmen storms bank to cart away millions"

Conner44:
It’s the same way they attribute every unrest perpetuated in the south east to ipob. Don’t cry over this one and leave out that one.

That’s classic hypocrisy

I feel the same way about both cases.

afrodoc2:
Hehehe. It is not very different from those saying that the government should sack striking doctors and replace them with foreign doctors who earn 20 to 30 times what the striking doctors earn.

Nigerians are too emotional. They think every profession is like one man business in Nigeria where u can hire and fire at the snap of Ur fingers.

During the course of last year I had reasons to be at LASUTH, some specialists already have patients book appointments for the next 4 months.....cos there are just few specialists and a gazillion patients that want to see them. Imagine government sacking these specialists because thru join the rest of doctors on their strike fighting for their rights, shey no be government and the people go lose?

I just laugh anytime I see fellow citizens with little idea of the situation we are in as a nation make calls for government to sack these people....I laugh cos they don't know these guys are doing them favour working for this non-challant government sef

Bigchristo:
Please can you define bandits? When you do then I have something to tell you

I wasn't talking about its literal definition but it's contextual use here.

But why do our news men like sensational headlines like this?

The topic is saying "bandits" when in fact what the body of the news described is a case of armed robbery. Even in the body of the news they say :.." One of the victims who spoke with SaharaReporters said that the robbers threatened to kill his eight-year-old son if he did not give them money."

Now I'm not saying the armed robbery is not a security challenge that shouldn't be reported, it's a clear case of mischief on the part of the reporter who drafted the news and the headline using Banditry and armed robbery interchangeably in one news report even when the report clearly describes armed robbery. Maybe they are just trying to ride on the current wave of Banditry/terrorist attacks that has happened in the past one week Sha

50d33q:
It's terribly worse if midfield can score almost the same number of goals as attack

Gbam!

Maybe "worse" is not the best word to use, but it's true U won't see Loserpool midfielders scoring more than the Trio of Salah,Jota and Mane.

Itsrm:
I remember you had this discussion with raumdeuter sometime in the past and he perfectly sums up what would have been my response

And below is my response to Dayo's post u are quoting now.

The question begging for answer then and still now is : "Who will fill the vaccum left by the sacked lecturers?"

Is it the Nigerians queuing at Walter Carrington Crescent everyday as early as 5am trying to get a visa out of this hell hole or the ones already out?

Oya tell Dayo to come home and take lecturing job at his Alma mater OAU and see him curse u

BlueRayDick:
And u honestly think foreign lecturers will come home and teach in Nigerian universities that are grossly underfunded? You think Nigerian professors in Foreign universities will leave their host countries with 24/7 electricity and come down here. Shey no be u dey tell somebody which day say u no dey come Naija wey still never get light . Make OAU put advert now say dem dey find expertriate, shey u go come with that Ur Harvard certificate come dey impart knowledge in lecture Theatre that is stuffy without working Air conditioner.

The government obviously knows more than u do. They know how they've failed in so many ways and they know sacking the present lecturers and calling for applications will lead nowhere. Even when the foreign lecturers come, they won't spend up to a year in total before jumping ship and leaving the government hanging in the balance. The government will surely go back crawling to the same lecturers they sacked.

Funny enough sef, we presently have a dearth of PHD holders in Nigeria. This is why u see some people use as much as 7 years for a PhD programme cos they have to wait for when another supervisor will be free to be assigned to them.

ASUU is only trying to hold a failed government to ransom to get what they want like most people would do in their shoes

Itsrm:
This is exactly why we need Wike. If he had sacked all of them in 2013 and replaced them, we will not be having ASUU strike today.

El Rufai did the same in Kaduna and heaven did not fall

Sack them replace them with who exactly?

As at 2013 Nigerian universities were short of 13,877 PHD holders.....so if wike sacked the ones on ground that are still short of over 13k where will he see them to replace?

U think academics is a Bank teller job u can sack and replace staff the same week ba? If it was that easy do u think people like Obasanjo that are very strong willed wouldn't have long sacked all lecturers and damn all consequences? El-Rufai sacking incompetent civil servants is quite different from ASUU issue.

ASUU is enjoying a monopoly which bequeats them right to always have upper hand in negotiation with their employer (the government). In fact some prof leave federal institutions for privately owned ones and they don't get to replace them due to their speciality. If a surgeon leaves Lasuth in Lagos and joins Babcock Teaching hospital for better pay and better condition of service, do u think it will be easy for Lasuth to replace him just like that?

[quote author=Kloppo post=111500748]One of the "ipobs" who invaded the pitch...

Was at the MKO Abiola Stadium yesterday and I had the opportunity to interview one of the angry fans and he said he wants to sell the country😂😂😂.

This is the reason they banned twitter cos It usually burst their lies like the nonsense IPOB invasion narrative our DSS is pushing.

Jodera see Ur guy, Alexander Lack-of-threat

Kloppo:
I won't be surprised if we are still banned for pitch invasion and violence, Senegalese fans suppose follow us chop too.....despite using laser which of course was started by Egyptian fans in Cairo....they invaded the pitch too,threw stuffs at Egyptian players and staffs while they were close to hurting salah..not sure we did all that to Ghanaians...

We deserve to be sanctioned and so do the Senegalese. The Senegalese no reason well at all, why invade the pitch after ur team won? Why can't they go to their homes and jubilate instead...na wa o

Kloppo:

I don't if it's awkward to say Thank God, but it's a relief the doctor didn't die as a result of the stampede/violence as earlier reported

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I hope this isn't true[/color]

Damn!

This is bad.

I think the government giving out whopping 20,000 tickets for free was a recipe for the disaster. While it was good for the morale of the team, it equally invited different people of unscrupulous character to the stadium; a whole lot of people who had no business with football were there and they definitely spearheaded caused that mini riot.

This one go really affect our relationship with footballing bodies. We fit chop lengthy ban so o.

patrickmuf:
No it wasn't...

You can actually take Larri.de to the cleaners without throwing cheap shots at him...When one party is civil in a discussion or debate, the least the other party should do is to respect divergent opinions...

Is he telling me to quit pontification being civil?

Did he respect my opinion before quoting me when I didn't mention him?

At least we all go school and we pass English before we enter school.

patrickmuf:
Baba, you should do away with the cheap shots at Larri.de...

Make the debate interesting by being civil while it last...

Me and who debate? Stop capping bro, I will pass

That is the right thing to do.

I believe Amaju and his goons must be really greasing the palms of some big Alhaji for him to have stayed this long.

I mean how do u sack Rohr and then give the job to a monumental failure like Eguavon? Niggga is poor man's Ralph Ragnick; too much talk zero result.

larride:
Like I said before, stop pontificating on what you know nothing about. There’s no crime in actually sitting down and learning if you don’t know you are talking about.

You are asking why we have a stadium of 60k capacity and it’s not put to good shape which in itself is a lie because the stadium was renovated way before the World Cup qualifier was announced in January this year. It therefore makes no sense to type that they left it so late to renovate the stadium when information about how the stadium was renovated is in public domain.

This was your post I quoted:



My response to your post was very clear.

Now you can go back to screaming about how the country is cursed.

Good morning

Typical APC/BMC zombie shii on display right here with a sprinkle of "On this Hill I will die " attitude.

The question is why do we have a 60,000 capacity stadium that the pitch keeps bubbling the ball here and there with players having to guess which side the ball will bounce to before kicking the ball?

You are here giving shalaye of January renovation..... A renovation that left the pitch in that sorry state....smh.

I hope u get paid well enough for these efforts tho.

larride:
Stop pontificating on what you don’t know about. The least you can do is to do small research before typing.

1. The stadium was renovated by DANGOTE. Sunday Dare the minister for sport was going around talking to corporate bodies to come renovate our sporting facilities. Dangote chose to renovate the MKO Abuja Stadium.

2. The match was supposed to hold in Lagos before CAF/FIFA refused saying that they can’t use VAR in Lagos stadium before the match was moved to the recently renovated stadium in Abuja and it was certified by both CAF/FIFA for the match to hold there.

I think u APC/BMC people have been specially trained to throw a few words here and there, make some submissions that look reasonable on the surface but when examined critically falls on its face.

1. I was asking why Nigeria has a 60,000 capacity stadium and it's not put In good shape which is a legitimate question to ask seeing the state of the pitch is one of the factors the players couldn't be at their best. Ask urself why did the pitch go bad in the first place? Is it not due to lack of proper maintenance?

You are busy telling me super story of how the minister for sports was shamelessly going about begging corporate entities to help put a face lit to government owned sporting facilities.smh

So it's pontification I'm asking the right question in the face of clear mismanagement?

2. So because FIFA approved a stadium due to the facilities there, our football administrators should not be reasonable enough to enusre the grass are levelled enough to aid the ball moving well on the pitch? Is it FIFA that will help them mow the grass to an equally even level after the grass was laid? Like we didn't watch Senegal vs Egypt and saw how the ball was moving smoothly on the pitch right?

I know u APC supporters would rather die than agree things are not being well managed in this country during this Buhari Era, but some us cannot help ourselves but say things how we see them.

Na this weyrey start the northernization policy that saw Northerners dominated the armed forces, customs, police, immigration, DSS and even the civil service in General.

Chai!

Kloppo:
Why is that amaju panick foool still the nff president....have we achieved anything under him aside him going to snap pictures with English based players with tax payers money

Amaju must have some real Alhaji's up there he Rogers regularly that makes him untouchable.

Na street guy so I feel he must have known how to keep himself for so long without anybody poking nose into the business venture he runs in the glass house .
