Validation? When it is most of you Chelsea fans that start the dumb comparisons with your players and others...

Team success is for the club while personal accolades is for the players...how is that hard for you to get....

No way you are normal for you to say drogba is better than delima,

Even Drogba will swear for anybody that makes such comparison. Even as of recent Drogba by own mouth said he wants to cry cos if Sallah continues this way he will break all his records.

Shey Na that Drogba go come allow anybody compare am with Ronaldo Lima wey don win Ballon D’or at age 21 ? Drogba wey still dey play in division 2 in France at age 23

Some jokes write themselves bro.

Rio Ferdinand: "He (Havertz) doesn’t have to kick a ball ever again in a Chelsea shirt, he’s repaid the £70m price tag now. He’s scored two of the biggest goals in the history of the club. Don’t have to do no more!"

This is actually funny.

Whatever this present decides to do with Kyari whether to protect him from extradition or send him down to the FBI for prosecution, one thing I'm happy about is that such a criminal minded person will no longer get a shot to be our IGP in the future.

Based on the settings his people in Govt have going on for him that guy would've been IGP in few years to come considering his constant promotion and enough paid praise singing in the media. I'm glad the hushpuppi case came right in time to expose him for what he is ; a criminal minded cop who has been fingered in cases of extortion, illegal confiscation and auctioning of arrested criminals' properties......

Considering how he's been invited by the house of reps in the past to celebrate him despite allegations against him, his name popping up in ENDSARS panel for his nefarious activities as the OC SARS back then in Lagos, etc..... Its a good thing he would never be considered for anything good at the national level( I said national level because from freelers online it seems his own people really do not care whether he's the devil reincarnate they will always Stan him any day anytime)

I don't know how Obi Cubana makes his money but I think this Kyari's case will do him more harm than good (both home and abroad)considering how they've been frolicking together in recent past.

We are not going to extradite our citizen to the US get that in your numbskull, has the US punished George Bush junior for destroying an entire country based on a lie?

"Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself"..... Proverbs 26 v 4

Why not just dismiss him from the police force and then extradite him for the FBI case?

Do these people actually know how this whole stuff is further tarnishing the image of the country? A suspended police officer is still going around giving orders to his former junior colleagues and those ones too are joining him in carrying out the illegal duties...

Don't they know all these is just making mockery of our system as a whole?

This was the same way they suspended magu from EFCC but yet he's still a police officer.... Who knows if magu has been giving orders to his subordinates in EFCC till now and they are carrying the orders out?

ORIJIN201:
You could tell Oliver allowed his emotions into his decisions. You could see the anger in his face all night. English referees are bums.

Exactly! His emotions got the better of him. Maybe he was angry at how our players frustrated Wolves who were obviously doing the playing while we were busy repelling their attacks and also wasting time evwrytime the ball goes out of play.

I was actually not happy with how our players wasted time and racked up unnecessary yellow cards, but then a refree is not expected to be happy or sad about things like that. He should strictly officiate based on the sequence of events as they unfold.

Even a retired ref that was asked about what he thinks about Martinelli's red card faulted Oliver's decision. Even Oliver himself only gave yellow card in the past Brighton match he officiated that someone posted the video.

He nearly ruined the game but thank God we won and I love to see the tears of Bruno Liage . The weyrey coach dey lament say we celebrate like say we win league....like say no be draw barca celebrate yesterday night like champions league final

Spy360:
Lol. You are being smart with us na.

Check again, the ref issued the first caution. Vidal then acted aggressively towards the ref that led to the second caution.

My question to you on this incident is had Vidal walked away after the first caution, would he have been issued the sending off?

Comparing the vidal incident to Martinelli's incident is just comparing apples to oranges.

Vidal fouled a player, was about to be penalised for it and then he nudged the player with his head. Any objective person knows they are two separate incidents. The ref already called a foul, he didn't wave play-on, he called the foul and then vidal still proceeded to go head to head with the player in an aggressive manner which obviously is another foul on its own.

How does that relate with Martinelli's situation?

the same refree gave this player a yellow card for a worse challenge than martinelli

If after watching this clip anybody still thinks Martinelli deserves the red card, then I don't know what to say again.

This is a perfect example of what happened.... Two fouls in the same sequence of play and only a yellow card was issued.

To a man who only has hammer in his possession, every problem he encounters will look like a nail to him. For those who would like to blame Arteta for everything, nothing u will tell them to make them see Michael Oliver nearly used his emotional officiating to ruin our game.

Spy360:
I think the argument was about the referees decision and not indiscipline issues on our players. Indiscipline is another issue entirely.

I don tire to dey explain to them, na why I just weak dey Sidon look . E come be like say they are calling a dog a bad name just t hang it.


You can blame Arteta for not having a tactica answer to Wolves troubling ur defence all night , but how can one blame Arteta for the Martinelli red card situation ? A clear case of EPL refs doing the most , yet it’s Arteta and the number of red cards received under him that matters ...... smh

Lush100:
Another view

Na wetin I dey try talk since yesterday night be this. We have every right to be angry at the ref. No be today we dey watch ball dey see player wey just collect yellow card get cautioned.

50d33q:
Oga ref did nothing wrong
He got what he deserved, stop looking for excuse it's becoming arsenal.
How do you explain Gabriel getting booked in the 60 something minute for time wasting who does that
Roland brought a stat instead of you to look at the bigger picture you are here complaining about ref

Okay , Good luck to u in your Arteta blame game then .

50d33q:
Lol, he already concluded we don't like Arteta whatever we say is anti-arteta

It’s because u always let ur bias for Arteta get the better of u when u analyze some of these things .

Yesterday match was a case of the referee almost ruin the match with his emotional officiating . Everyone knows a yellow card is supposed to be a caution.... when a player gets a yellow card he’s been cautioned by the ref that any further rash tackling /foul might lead to him being sent off. The ref obviously didn’t even caution Martinelli but dishes out 2 yellow cards in quick succession thereby denying the youngster the chance of being warned /cautioned for his initial offense . To make matters worse the ref had already waved play on for the initial foul and it was only reasonable he penalizes him for the initial foul after the ball was out of play .

Instead of u to talk about the shitty referring u decide to claim Martinelli was indisciplined like every other players that has been red carded under Arteta thereby inferring Arteta’s team lack discipline and its Arteta’s fall to take .

No u don’t get to do that. Nobody is saying Arteta is the next best thing after slice bread , in fact I didn’t even support his appointment and subsequent confirmation , but I won’t leave culprits and start blaming him for what he’s not responsible for . Michael Oliver nearly ruined the game yesterday and u can see screenshots below for what fans and non fans felt about his unreasonable decision like I did

Roland17:
Before the Martinelli incident, we already had 3 players (Partey/ Xhaka/ Gabriel) on yellow cards, I even alluded to this in my previous post. Listen, we can continue to blame referees and everybody else or look inward and acknowledge we have a serious in/out field discipline issue that needs to be addressed.

Are you aware that in 2 months, (since December 2021), we have amassed 23 YELOW CARDS/ 4 RED CARDS, it is only February! Does this seem normal to you? Forget sentiments, we have a problem that needs to be addressed.

What has this got to do with the Martinelli incident ?

Did I complain about any other player getting yellow carded as rightly deserved ?

Martinelli committed two fouls in quick succession and only one would attract yellow card on a normal day. That’s my point .

50d33q:
Because martinelli plays for arsenal you won't want to say the truth I totally understand.
But stop misleading people, Jimenez was red carded in almost the same fashion he got a yellow and when city try to break he stopped the play and that earned him a second yellow why didn't he get a warning

What are u even saying ?

Two wrongs don’t make a right the fact that a ref allegedly sent Jimenez off doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a right decision .

Players have been cautioned over time after receiving first yellow card before getting the second one ( except they commit a really serious foul which this very one is not ) .

I know all u want to do is claim Martinelli like the rest of the team lacks discipline and then u will proceed to blame Arteta for that like u always do.

The ref’s decision was harsh and unnecessary considering how he spoke with Tierney for like 3 different times and yet didn’t book him to the chagrin of the fans . It’s just an unreasonable decision

50d33q:
No one look lost apart from martinelli, he knew yellow was on card for him.
The second is also correct
Peace!!!

Nonsense !

When players foul immediately after a yellow card they get cautioned especially when they didn’t stop an attacking player as a last man .

Martinelli did what he had to do which was stop the advancing player . A reasonable ref would’ve booked him for the first offense and warn him about the second foul. I’ve seen this play out several times

50d33q:
He made a foul the ref played advantage keeping the card for him later and he committed another almost immediately...that's very stupid of him

So for someone who has played football , u think the second foul is an automatic yellow card ?

Why do u think Arteta and even the commentator looked lost trying to understand the stupidity in the ref’s decision ?

The way Lacazette keeps falling on his knees is just shameful

50d33q:
it's a double foul na

What does this even mean ?

Shebi una don see why I no rate Lacazette as a decent striker at all.... smh

50d33q:
Another red
Wetin they occur

That was a stupid officiating from that bastar.d called Oliver

4ck EPL officiating

Hope we win and close the gap

[color=royalblue]Zouma ought to know better. It would have been a different case if he was playing for TP Mazembe. Even if he bursts the cat's head with bottle, Africans no go send.

The guy just fall into trap wey dem him own[/color]

True sha, but all these animal rights activists calling for him to lose his means of livelihood over the matter come be like say person wan use sledge hammer kill mosquito.

Ibime:
Many Oyinbo people love animals more than humans. Zouma suppose know.

There are Nazis who would want immigrants to drown whilst crossing the border, but kill a dog and they will come for you.

The heart of man is wicked.

Na wa o. E come be like say Zouma do pass wetin we read/see for video.

I just pity zouma sha, I hope he doesn't suffer depression/mental breakdown when all these heat cools down.

Jodera:
it's pure hypocrisy my brother
I no know wetin I wan talk for the matter sef. The reaction is just so so bad

I just tire for those people. E come be like say Zouma kill person.

Segedinho:
Isn't this animal cruelty

Can u just imagine? They even kick the horses by the side to make them race faster.

I think there's this herd mentality/cancel culture out there , that's the only explanation for the wahala they are dragging with Zouma

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I don't even like animals that much. I'm sure I might have done worse than Zouma sef

The only difference is I won't be so foolish to show the whole wide world.

This serves as a big lesson to people who live and die for the social media.

I thank the Lord that we sold him before now. If not, na we for dey lament[/color]

I'm not one to quicly jump on issues like this and view it from the lens of racism but these oyinbo people dey take this Zouma issue too far abeg.

Fine, zouma was foolish to have done what he did on camera thereby exposing him to serious backlash....but they are taking thinsg to the extreme by calling for his contract termination , possible prosecution etc.

In the past Luis Suarez bit the arms of Ivanovic and Chiellini which were clearly acts of assault (which is actually a crime), I didn't read anywhere there was call for his contract termination and possible prosecution. Hazard kicked a ball boy that year , nobody took it upon themselves to start signing petition online for serious punishment for him. We even have some players who made racist comments and gestures to black players, yet they didn't get any extreme punishment.

Why does it seem like Zouma is being punished not for just kicking the cat on camera alone, but also for being a black man caught up in the mess ?

The thing dey somehow sha. To think Adidas that uses leather gotten from animals is even the first company to cancel his endorsement by forming animal right activists even makes it funnier.

mostob:
as in eh...Ronaldo was only given a yellow card for kicking that Liverpool kid...a whole human being o.

What of Hazard kicking a ball boy?

This Zouma'a situation has a racism undertone

The funniest thing is that leather is a major raw material for Adidas o yet na Dem dey play animal advocate

Exactly bro. We've seen other players get away with serious offences like that Hazard own you pointed out, yet no serious sanction.

Seeing them put up petition on change dot org and other nonsense campaign agsint Zouma is just nauseating. It reeks of hypocrisy.

Amoto94:
Algeria is a bit like Nigeria with religious pluralism they have Christians and were formerly path of Roman empire before Muslims conquered that territory.

Did u just say religious pluralism in Algeria ?

Spy360:
Zouma fined 250k, Adidas ends his endorsement deal, people asking for West Ham to terminate his contract.... for kicking a cat,

White people are funny set of people sha. I'm not saying what Zouma was morally right o, I find it amusing that people would call for his contract termination for kicking a cat on camera while players who make racist comments, gestures and posts online and offline are not being asked to be given such grave sanctions too.

The thing just dey somehow sha

Na all this kind yam we dey use pound and prepare better egusi or ishapa soup that year when my old man used to host his town club members when we were growing up. The babas will down the food with better Guilder, Big stout or star lager ( depending on each person's preference)
