Oga cuntay's Tottenham side just lost to an unknown team from Slovenia

Raumdeuter will drink to that

I think he is also like Adama...

Strength, power,pace and never give up attitude.

Yeah, similar to Adama just that he seem to have better end products that Adama .

ShadowWalker00:
I wonder what you think of this though.

Chelsea loaned Gilmour to Norwich, in the match of Norwich against Liverpool.

Liverpool fans aimed 'rent-boy' chants to gilmour, LGbt+ group took it as homophobic, Liverpool came out to apologize and codemn it.

Note Gilmour is not gay, neither does the chant rent-boy had anything to do with homosexuals, it just a regular english chant to mock loanees of big clubs in England.

Yet Liverpool apologized because it is literally an unnecesarry chant, and it can be interpreted in a demeaning way.

Note: they no talk say nah idiom or sarcastic or just jokes oh.

Or maybe it is because they are whites .

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/58220000

I think the problem u are having here is that u see everything from the perspective of black vs white and this affects ur judgement of situations; hence u end up comparing apples to oranges then cover it up with emojis.

I mean u just pointed out a situation that involves thousands of fans that can’t be asked individually to explain what they mean by the “rent boys “ chant against Gilmour. The club did the honourable to apologize to avoid reduction in revenue that may arise when the fans who feel offended by the chant stop buying tickets.

Klopp on the other hand was queried about his statement and he explained he was quoted out of context ; which should be enough for anybody that is not being mischievous and trying to find problem where there none. Klopp has said his piece , whoever is not satisfied can then do whatever they please .

iamoyindamola:
No Saint maximim is just Pepe with Dada, I hate such players

This is not true. Saint-Maxim is similar to Mane when he was at Southampton, take him out of Newcastle to a bigger team with more quality and see him be a bigger player than can ever dream of.

ShadowWalker00:
See my Waec result in 2019, Waec is not the hardest English exam out there.

But atleast I pass average, and it is at my first sitting in ss3 class.

Well good for you. I can see this is a 2019 result, maybe I'm a little bit out of touch to know that knowledge of idioms are no longer tested at the O'levels.

I mean I honestly don't know how someone who has understanding of English to the extent of having good grades like u did would ignorantly/deliberately misconstrue Klopp's statement; even when Klopp himself explained he was quoted out of context.

Well, Something tells me the reporter understands Klopp and only wants to put him on the spot so as to have a news headline people will talk about(Which we are already doing) so they can sell papers/have people click on news sites to read the full manuscript( like I did on dailymail's site)

Ibime:
If you read the statement, you will instantly recognise the idiom

Ojora Babatunde of OJB Sports needs to brush up on his knowledge of English sayings. Guy made his organisation look like Uncle JB sports with his interpretation

That is how u know people who didn't pass English Language at first sitting in WASSCE. To them every sentence is interpreted as per its literal meaning.

That was how I once chastised someone on this forum for forcing his opinion about his "cult-hero" on others only for him to reply me, " how do you know my hero is a cultist, mumu?"

CAP.

If it was Euro's will he refer to it as 'little tournament', all those idioms, sacarcastic are just defensive okoto meow.

He could have kept the English simple, and refer to it as a 'tournament', there is literally no need to use the world 'little' for whatever reason.

But keep defending nonsense, afterall black people are inlove their slave masters /

Na as ur brain carry reach u talk this one, so I understand...... No wam!

Klopp don see us finish


Fvck him.. Liverpool is cancelled


https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10240797/Liverpool-boss-Jurgen-Klopp-defends-calling-African-Cup-Nations-little-tournament.html

Anybody who understands English will know understand he wasn't calling Afcon "little" literally. I think the reporter was just being mischievous especially knowing Klopp is not a native speaker of English.

Here is what he said

"What I meant was, if you watch the whole press conference then you might have understood it the right way if you wanted to, because I said there are no international breaks until March now.

'I said "oh there's a little tournament in January" and I didn't mean a little tournament, I was just saying it's still a tournament, it's ironic....

This is why people always put caveat to their posts that they are only responsible for what they post and not how anybody chooses to undertand. "Little tournament" in the context he used it here suggests that between now till; march there are no international breaks (that keeps interrupting the flow of games in the league), but then he remembered oh, there will be a "brief" tournament (referring to Afcon) that will rid him of his star players for about a month.

If the law does not outrightly state that vaccination is mandtory but their continued insistence on not taking it is putting the lives of others at risk, The club gave you a contract so that you can help them but if by your negligent attitude you cannot play your role, the organization can sack you

The case of Mendy, Man City has a right to cancel his contract. I am sure they would soon or probably his contract is about t expire sef and they will just let it ride out. Also for PR reasons Man City miight not want to cancel his deal imagine if he turned out to be innocent

Mendy’s contract expires in 2023, e still far o. I doubt they will let it ride out o, but who am I to speak for dem sheikh all the Arab money ?

So what I am asking is this ; as of today does it mean he’s getting paid based on the terms of the contract considering it was the club that suspended him ?

Havertz10:
herd immunity, the more people you have vaccinated, the safer society at large, any process that will protect society in aggregate has to be enforced irrespective of personal preference, all these Idiots fighting against vaccines, don't understand it and are exposing their ignorance

Vaccine essentially trains your immune system on how to fight a pathogen, once your immune system learns how to fight it once, it can always do it whenever the pathogen reappears

Besides only very few people have never been vaccinated, polio still exist, it's vaccines that makes its effect appear extinct

Anybody talking against vaccines is an opinionated idiot

I think it’s just anxiety and fear of the unknown that makes some people shy away from the whole vaccination stuff. You will be surprised to know that some very educated people also are scared of the unknown and have refused to get vaccinated until maybe when it’s made compulsory.

It’s not like these people don’t know these things about herd immunity , it’s just the whole negative stuff that has been circulated in the past.

Ibime:
Life is cheap in Africa, and African countries don't really run National Health Services that could be overwhelmed by Covid. Main reason Western countries are going ham on Covid is because Covid patients are blocking beds in their hospitals, denying other treatments, while Africans are happy to take their chances at home when they have Covid. Malaria is ten times more deadly than Covid (though less infectious) and some African countries are yet to fumigate their environment to get rid of mosquitoes. That should show you how unserious African leaders are, it's not a case of authoritarianism. Gambia have at certain times been able to fumigate and eradicate mosquitoes though, kudos to them.

U make very good points; especially with the malaria example u gave. Death cheap for Africa and no dey hear word , we get coconut head.

I will never forget how Abba Kyari’s burial was handled with those NCDC guys that are supposed to even be more careful dumping the protective gears they wore for the burial carelessly on the road side......and that was even at the height of the pandemic o

Why not say if hazard play with messi he will score more ucl goals. There is a reason Neymar adore messi, he made football easy for him at Barca.

No. Let’s not talk about what cannot happen . Hazard cannot play with Messi because he’s not from Argentina , neither did he join Barca nor has joined him at PSG .

Let’s talk about what has happened Abeg. Let’s talk about Neymar scoring 70 goals in 116 appearances for Brazil where there’s no Messi and Mbappe to “carry “ him..... what do u make of it ? Do u still think he’s an unserious player ?

I want to check something

Ibime:
Society has rules. If Gnabry wants his freedom, he needs to be able to pay the price if he really believes in it.. NBA have the same rules, some noisemakers went and got the vaccine after the rules were brought in

Well, if the law says he must get vaccinated , then I guess he has no choice .

You know I was just wondering the way western countries pride themselves to be liberal , how they allow people make their choices , do whatever they please with themselves( some people marry inanimate objects , keep dangerous animals as pets, get to own and carry guns , etc) ..... I just find it amusing that laws/guidelines like this are coming these western countries and not some power drunk African ruler who just wakes one morning , make vaccination compulsory and he’s unquestionable.

raumdeuter:
The law in Germany states that if you are unvaccinated and get exposed you should quarantine. You being unvaccinated pose a risk to other people including your teammates

Bayern is unable to use the service of these players because they willfully decided not to get vaccinated and had to quarantine.

Why should Bayern pay salary for employees whose services they are not able to use?

For example in America before you enroll your child in school, you have to provide his immunization reports, I am not sure your child will be allowed in school if the parents willingly refuse to get the needed immunization since your child has become a risk to others

Well , if the law does not outrightly states that vaccination is compulsory for all citizens/those in a particular line of work , then I think the decision of the club will always be opened to long talks sha. Especially if the players are claiming it’s against their religious believes or another reason ( mostly if the country is a secular state and not a religious one )

As regards the bold part of ur post , I was wondering what happens to Benjamin’s contract at man city. I mean this guy has been docked for criminal charges , the club has suspended him and hasn’t really been able to select him for games..... So what happens ? Does he get paycheck like the other players that are injured , unavailable due to illness etc at the end of each week ?

I know of cases where players under contract suffer career ending injuries and insurance will have to come in and pay the club for the number of months/years remaining on the contract. .... In this mendy’s issue what happens ?

hensben:
Hazard didn’t have Messi or mbappe to assist him.

Wait fess !

I want to ask u something ; if Raumdeuter brings another player that doesn’t have Messi or Mbappe to “carry” them, has more than 9 goals in the UCL and plays similar role to hazard on the pitch ; will u accept Hazard is “hidden” as far as UCL is concerned ? ....... Or u will make up another criteria to make hazard level up ?

Anybody following the “corona virus chaos “ going on with Bayern Munich?

Learnt there’s a law in Germany that allows an organization to stop the salary of its staff who tests positive to the virus and are not yet vaccinated. So it seems about 5 key players including Ganbry have tested positive to the virus; currently unvaccinated and the club has triggered the provision of the law .

I don’t know sha, I just feel it’s not really cool forcing people to get vaccinated against their wish especially when it’s possible to still still test positive even after getting vaccinated .

When arsenal wins una go find one midfielder praise ..... when we lose una go blame the defenders who have saved us the mystery of watching una confused MCM in the person Calamity Mustafi.

The good thing is Mustafi didn’t leave arsenal to go turn to Baresi 2.0 or Maldini 2.0 , rather they use egg Pursue am after him and mecho Kola join hand relegate their club .

I’ve gone through some previous posts of these pro-Mustafi group, I’ve seen how some of u gnashed ur teeth and cursed mustafi . One of these days when there’s need for it , I will post some diggings . For now make una continue with una agenda dey go.

When we win whether against number 21 on the log , we will celebrate and when the team performs woeful we will call out either the coach or players responsible . We no go join team “Hosanna today, crucify him tomorrow.

The same midfield they praised few weeks ago, see them shout "hossanah" today," crucify him" tomorrow....

Una wey say una prefer Mitland-Niles, shebi una don see am now now....

Make the goal difference no sha spoil pass this one.

Tavares wehdone sir!

The way Lokonga dey give ball away ehn, u will think that's his primary duty on the field.

COYG!

CNN should just not bother themselves, it's obvious this particular Alhaji whose mouth resembles fowl yansh will not apologize.

They should just focus on exposing more evil of this evil Buhari led government for what it is.

iamoyindamola:
You left out ibime
He said we are been emotional about it

Ibime's case was undertsnadable. He's been out of the country for a while now and he possible can't relate relate to the situation of things on ground. If my memory serves me right, I remember he was likening the situation at lekki to his school inter-house sport in 1995 that happened in PH when naija was under the military rule and brute force was the only way for law enforcement to get things done.

Somehow he acknowledged that maybe between 2 to 12 people died.......He was more reasonable than those people asking us to go about looking for dead bodies, asking us for families of the deceased and even those that justified the shootings.

BlueMann:
Omo, CONMENBOL na war.

I say South American football na war.

Brazil and Argentina have all but qualified for the mundial, yet they're playing as though their lives are at stake, or it's the final of the World Cup itself.

Scuffles ear and dear, tackles flying left and right, gbas gbos everywhere. See as Otamemdi bloody my guy Raphinha for mouth. Baba kuku dey chop bandage abi tissue as bleeding no gree stop.

So few clear chances created, yet I am entertained. Perhaps because I love vayolence

I cut cap for these players. They are all warriors. No wonder South Americans are the most passionate set of fans in the game. E dey their body naturally. Their madness na innate.

Una wey dey stay awake to watch the war disguised as football match going on in that south American continent dey try o. The trauma of the copa America final still lives rent-free in my head.

Those of u saying no massacre, make Una dey there dey mumu una self.

airmark:
Larride, how you dey bro? Can we reopen our Lekki killings' argument anytime you are free? Not forgetting those that claimed people only injured from bullets that fell from 'heaven'.

No be only him o, dem plenty well well; people wey go need tell us say the live video we watch that day na edited and our head no correct to believe the words of those at the scene of the incident over the words of the lieing goverment.

Oasis007:


You don dey Soro-Soke too much sir. You be larride dey disguise?!

Folks are ready to dig out even bones of Pharaoh to proving Massacre is indeed committed at Lekki Tollgate.

Lives were lost definitely, and Protesters were injured, which are condemnable Acts. But was Massacre really happened?! Well Lekki Incidence has brought many Jesus to us..... Die for few Days and later resurrect.

CapitalCee:
I saw there arguments in Chelsea thread, but I don't want to waste my time with them. So far, No single Family or relative has shown up to say their person was a casualty of the toll gate incident, and some people want us to believe that 78 people where killed, and that one hungry looking DJ like that that took 15 dead bodies and dropped it on the feet of the shooting Soldiers. When I see these comments sometimes I question the sanity of some people

larride:
Maybe you watched another video/report apart from the one CNN put out for you to still say their video support that massacre happened at Lekki toll gate. Maybe the definition of massacre has changed overnight, I’m not sure.

1. From the video/report, CNN only reported 1 uncertified death and 1 missing person according to the brother. How does this prove massacre. Today make it 28 days that the shooting happened, if CNN can only report 1 uncertified death and 1 missing person, it led credence to the fact that no massacre happened.

2. There were several casing that were picked up even by protesters after the shooting that night and those casing were blank bullet. Whether the army used live bullet or not, I’m not sure but they did use blank bullet which the casings that were picked up after the protestors showed.

3. General Taiwo did not deny the fact that the army was at Lekki toll gate, neither did he deny that the soldiers shot though he claimed that they the soldiers shot in the air.

We have seen mass shooting even in US and the casualties even from untrained shooters cannot be compared to what happened at Lekki where trained soldiers are said to have shot directly at protestors.

The shooting (whether to the air or not) is bad enough to hold govt to account on than trying to push a massacre that never happened.

The fact of that night still remains:

Were Army deployed to Lekki toll gate? Yes
Were did shooting at Lekki toll gate? Yes
Did a massacre happened there? NO.

It’s instructive to note that even CNN didn’t claim a massacre happened there.

larride:
I don’t know if most times you guy read another post and then think I’m the one that write the post and then respond back to me.

Maybe you need to go and read all my post on this subject matter from the beginning to the end before you start drawing inference that doesn’t correlate.

It’s even laughable the way you skip pass my answer to your question to start talking about what government said or has not said. As if that’s the bone of contention.

As at today 11/18/2020, it is easy to prove human rights violations against the Nigerian Army than trying to prove they committed massacre at Lekki tollgate. There are no evidence to prove a massacre happened.

The fact is Soldiers were at the Lekki tollgate, soldiers opened fire and there are 2 confirmed death and several injured. It is that human rights violation angle that the Lagos State Judicial panel should be focusing on so as to get justice for those that died and compensation for those that were injured but rather we are trying to prove that a massacre happened or not.

If I still have to break this down for you, maybe you should tell me your local language and I should post in it because I don’t understand what’s hard to understand in my post.

donjazet:
Few days ago here, a few of us called for the end to the protests and we were termed ingrates and fools.
I certainly hope you're enjoying the full blown anarchism that is now in effect.

Sometimes, common sense will look like unreasonable dissent to fools.
Make una continue to enjoy your "protests", na here we dey.

PS; We are yet to see the "massacre" that took place. No deceased have been found till now or family member of a deceased. Some news organizations are beginning to apologize for sharing fake news.

Spy360:
Cameroon now leading 1-0. As it stands Ivory Coast are on their way out.

So pepe no still see shirt for Ivory coast despite most of their current players not really elite like that......

Then one needs to question why players like Iwobi just stroll into super eagles starting line up despite sitting on Everton bench more than he plays for them.

izzou:
[color=royalblue] Because the tournament makes no sense to them

How can Japan, an Asian country be participating in Copa America? E make sense to you?

How can Qatar be participating in Copa America? E make any sense at all?

So if Qatar wins, they would be Champions of South America ba?

You sef think am [/color]

We will call them Asian champions of south America

Jodera:
this is a must win match for them and while I check each player's starting 11 clubs, it was all poor league they came from. In fact the player with the biggest team there plays for a Belgium league (Oostende). And they are just two.
The players playing in Portuguese league even plays in division 2 Portugal.

The rest are from Hungary, to Cyprus, to Dubai, to Northern Ireland, to Azerbaijan etc.

The bench is even worse, I'm seeing teams like Jover fc.

I still feel our players are way better than them in terms of club level

U need to understand his point here which I quite agree with; most of our players considering the clubs they play and how frequent they get to feature in top matches are not really superior to Cape Verde's.

Cape Verde have players playing in Switzerland, Netherlands, Portugal, Cyprus etc. Super eagles have players in Germany division 2, Netherlands, Scotland, France, Saudi, Turkey etc.....players like Ìwobi that plays in England is even a bench warmer that is surplus to requirement at his club but commands starting shirt in the national team.


What he is saying is most super eagles fans are far away from reality thinking we are some 4cking Senegal that has Mane of Loserpool, Mendy that is Chelsea's number one, Koulibaily, Idrissa Gueye, Kouyate, etc...... These aforementioned players are the kind of players the super eagles used to parade in the past, but what we have now are bench warmers at their clubs strolling into the team, old and finished players like Ighalo retiring and coming back into the squad from Saudi, etc.

We may not be at par with those Cape Verde players, but our players are not significantly superior to theirs considering the clubs they all play for and how important they are to their respective clubs' dreams and aspirations.
