I sometimes do wonder what kind of pep talk/team talk teams like San Marino, Faroe Islands, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, etc.... have before a match, at half time and at full time....especially when they are playing teams like England, Germany, Spain etc

I mean do their coaches tell them stuff like: "If u dream it u can achieve it "....."Yes we can!"....etc?

Here it is from the source

Thank you!

Few clarifications please

1. Can fresh ata rodo(scotch bonnet) be used as substitute for the chili oil?

2. The cooked rice, does it need to be basmati or the normal regular cap rice? What is the level cooking that needs to be achieved with the pre-coooked rice before stir-frying?

Happy Sunday foodies!

Please give me the full ingridients and procedure for this delicious plate of goodness. I plan on giving it a trial this weekend ; I'm kinda tired of the regular rice and stew/ jollof rice.

Meanwhile all our players are back and fit. That includes Partey. Our season begins.

I will never understand why Partey was used in that inconsequential match vs Chelsea during preseason when we know we will still play them in the early stages of the league........



He just got injured in an inconsequential match that cost us severely in the first 3 opening matches of the season.

Make Arteta and the board getat abeg!

Disgraceful on the part of Brazil's health ministry and the police. Whatever is the issue should have been sorted out before kick off...

[I kind of feel it's a ploy by the Brazilians to get the game postponed because Argentina were going to win with the number of starters missing for Brazil.

You are not far from the truth. The whole thing just looks suspicious. They had 3 days to have enforced whatever regulations/guideline they needed to enforce, but they waited till kick off to do that. Even messi shock

I think if anything, Brazil should be punished for the show of shame.

I just saw our goal of the month contenders ....na from the match vs West brom reserves in the calabar cup and the female team simply because we didn't score in any of our 3 league matches in August.

If God no no punish Arteta, Edu and tgat nonsense Vinai-whatever, make u know wetin cause am

Are you saying mertersacker is a good cb
I haven't seen tomiyasu played before and i want to avoid youtube cos pepe scammed me with that

Mertersacker was decent for his size and frame.

“Our strategy is to fill our squad with some of Europe’s most exciting young talent, with players from both our academy and further afield, that can grow and develop together under Mikel to take us where we want to get to.

This is delusion of grandeaur... and it will end in tears .

This strategy didn't achieve much in wenger's later years and it won't achive anything at all now that we have Leicester, Spurs, West ham, Aston Villa attracting more quality players and actually having enough cash to splash than Arsenal

This country is a jungle!

A police corporal resigns from the services of Nigerian Police , then suddenly becomes a multimillionaire owning hotels, exotic rides and luxury apartments.

Then a deputy commissioner of police and his team suspects the aforementioned ex-police corporal to be a kidnapper; they summarily execute him without making him answer for his "alleged crime"

The deputy commissioner of police now moves on to collecting rents and proceeds from the properties of the late ex-police corporal . He didn't stop there, he even appointed a cultist to administer those assets on his behalf.

Now his lawyer who acted as his receiver of these illegal proceeds is being dragged before the legal profession's disciplinary committee by the lawyer of the late suspected kidnapper cum ex-corporal.

All of these just points out to the fact that our justice system is terrible and corruption reigns supreme everywhere u tur to in this country.

Ladies and gentlemen
We bought 5 at the back out of the 7 transfers we did
Arteta failed to address the lingering issue,same old story
We haven't scored this season, conceded 9 goals
This our own defence is leading us to relegation

Having carefully studied our activities in this recently closed transfer window and the previous one, I've come to the conclusion that we fans aren't channeling our grievances the right way .....we are not saying what ought to be said.

Here is the reason why:

1. We needed midfield sorted so bad that we wailed all year for additions to the midfield both in AM and CM positions. The club brought in Odegaard and Lokonga for the respective roles.

2. We agreed a back-p keeper was needed for Leno since that keeper we brough in to repalace Martinez didn't turn out the way we wanted. The club brought in Ramsadale to fill this vaccum.

3. We agreed our right side of defence/attack has been dead for a long time and we need a decent RB for that and the club brought in the Japanese "Tiamiyu" hoping he will satisfy us.

4. Yes, Tiernney needed a back-up LB since we've all agreed Saka should never play in LB again in order not to stunt his growth as a baddass forward. Tavarez was signed for this purpose

5. Well, we didn't really look at how shitty Mari has been , neither did we consider the averageness of Holding, the club management somehow feels we need another CB to add to the gazillion of CB's on our books. Wetin we fit do ?

If u look at all these signings u will see the club actually brought in players in almost all the areas we agreed we were lacking.....However it is actually the quality of this players that should really concern us and maybe the prices they were signed.

I personally the idea of signing Odegaard as our AM.....Its a huge downgrade for a team that used to have Ozil drive attack from that position now settling for Odegaard . I'm not saying he's not a good player but he's just not the big player we need in that position to mentor the younger Smith-Rowe.

I am also of the opinion that as far as Xhaka remains in the club signing a decent and senior player in that CM role will always be a mirage. The club will always prefer to sign a squad player that will most likely falter when its time to step in big matches.

All i'm saying is going forward we fans should be more specific about the right type of players we should pressing for the club to sign. Not just anybody that they push to us. Most of these players they signed this transfer will add little to our declining team. Even when Arteta is sacked, the new coach coming will still need to weed out some of these lightweight on our books first .

Jodera:
Lol... Na exactly this kinda talk put barca for the big financial mess dem dey now.

Spy360 na very emotional and passionate fan and it's affecting his sense of judgement of the current situation we are in presently.

We sold Emi Martinez for 20m and a year after we are buying a replacement for 30m..... that’s bad business if u ask me. I’m one of the people who believe Martinez sale was out of our hands since we have two good keepers who would not sit on the bench for each other , but then the replacement cost just doesn’t make any sense .

The 50million spent on Ben white is a huge chunk of the 128m we have spent this transfer season. Whoever sanctioned that deal needs to be investigated for money laundering .


While everybody was talking about AM , CM and other obvious aspects of our game that has visible deficiency , i was here preaching the gospel of getting a decent RB in place of “jack-of-all-trade-master-of-none” chambers and “washed” bellerin..... Now the chicken has come home to roost. Even if a RB is signed today we all know we will be getting a scrap that would most likely be a backup and not a big game player.

If Edu or whoever is handling our business side of the game want to prove themselves then they need to get rid of players like Kolasinac, Elneny, Xhaka , Bellerin, etc and get decent fee for them ..... it is only then we can think of rebuilding for real

Na wetin people dey use emotion sign petition on top be this o....

Jodera u are not wrong, neither is the replay we all watched after the mat h wrong.

kodded:
Na that pointing of fingers dey pain me pass


Baba will kill our counter attack with his sluggishness then pass back to our defender.

The next thing you will see him pointing fingers like he is organising the team meanwhile the opposition has used that opportunity to maintain a defensive shape.

Xhaka is worse than Sanwoolu when it comes to pointing hands and doing absolutely nothing

He will write motivational quotes on social media, talk about a whole lot of things we’ve never seen him do on the pitch like does them everyday .... smh .

When he was busy forming captain Swiss at the euros I knew he is still shiiit and will soon serve us breakfast as soon as the season starts . 3 games gone and here we are

I watched the video and I think these guys made most of the points we've always put forward.

1. The security agents seem to be ill-equipped considering the group captain mentioning some of the security agents don't even have boots. This makes u question what is being done with the billions of naira being budgeted for defence every year.

2. There's a link between what Boko Haram / ISWAP is doing in the north east and what the "bandits" are doing in the northwest . From my understanding of the video he’s saying while the boko haram/ ISWAP do theirs for ideological /warpped religious reasons, the bandits do theirs for financial gain/ economic independence.....but then, u can't rule out the possibility of Bandits funding boko haram and in exchange boko haram supporting them with intelligence, weapons and ideas.

3. The video mentioned security operatives not being on ground or not being enough in most of the areas the bandits have struck. However, the NDA attack does not conform with this. The NDA attack points out to the fact that the bandits /insurgents have always had people among the people that always ensure they are successful. I mean breaking into a military formation and not only kidnapping a senior officer, but killing two others definitely points to the fact that all is not well in our security architecture under this present government.

4. The security consultant mentioned a key point that most of those recent "release" of hostages by bandits is mostly due to ransom being paid and not because security operatives were able to wrestle them out of captivity. This confirms the terrible state things have gotten to in this country. People selling land and properties just to have their kidnapped relatives freed.

5.As regards the amnesty/ Geneva constitution bullshiiit (pardon my language or not; cos that's how I feel about it), take Ur time to read this guardian article below by Ray Ekpu. Please read it with an open mind and tell me what u think
https://m.guardian.ng/opinion/amnesty-for-terrorists-catch-22

I attached screenshot of some of the points raised in the article for u. From Ur hearts of heart I need u to answer the following questions

a. Do u think because these Boko Haram members have surrendered they should be granted amnesty and reintegrated into the society in which survivors of their victim still live?

b. Do u think Nigeria's correctional facility will be able to deradicalize these people of they are given amnesty considering how several armed robbers have gone back to robbery immediately they are released?

c. The governor of zamfara was referenced in the article to have given huge sums to repentant bandits who later used the money to purchase more sophisticated weapons and went back to their "business".....Do u think shaking hands with these bomb former makers, arsonists, rapists etc that surrendered will get us anywhere?

d. Lastly how would u feel if someone who burnt Ur farmland, Ur home and shot Ur family member is granted amnesty and the government says it's a "choiceless choice?" Will u take it as the will of Allah or would rather have such people put away for life?

Wahala

Una don start again

Yesterday where I was watching the match with my bottle of odeku, that was how one bros told me Xhaka is the main man at arsenal, he said he's our engine room.

Initially I thought he was trolling or something, I told him to come off it and stop joking around Jàre. Then I saw he was serious when he accused me of just liking Xhaka. He said he's been watching me since the game started and he noticed how I've been very critical of Xhaka shortly after kick off.

To say I was bewildered was an understatement. I tried making him see how static Xhaka is, how he will receive the ball in a position to push further upfield, but Xhaka would only return the ball back to our non-ball-playing defenders. This bros no gree. He said I should just take my time watch Xhaka and remove the bias from my mind,......He said I will see the reason why 3 coaches have chosen to build the game around him.

I come dey confused say maybe na another Xhaka this egbon dey refer to.


Fast forward to 7 minutes later Xhaka made his trademark Lunging tackle and got red card I look bros say how far? Ẹ̀gbọ́n say blood dey rush enter Xhaka head sometimes

I used to think it's one we see people stanning rubbish players, yesterday I know there are people like that offline too.

If it's not too early for u, comman join me

Just one game and ibime has been vindicated

Iamoyindamola supersports just show the replay again and it's obvious James swinged his arm to block the ball.

iamoyindamola:
It's a penalty not a red card
That's my point

It is a red card. Na the same thing Suarez do for world cup be that.

I'd u agree it's a penalty, then u should know it's a red card offence he committed. If u do the crime......u know the rest

TheLequte:
It was a direct goal bro. Not even an opportunity. James behaved stupidly there. Should’ve allowed the ball to go in. Now they’re short by one man.

Exactly!

They should be blaming James and not Taylor. Suarez no do pass this one for World cup against Ghana na

iamoyindamola:
Bros he touched his thigh first na

The fact that it touched his thigh doesn't matter here. He denied loserpool a goal scoring opportunity by using his arm to make his body bigger...... Sentiments don't apply here.

The ref didn't even see it, but VAR had him on record. He could've raised his thighs alone to block the ball but we all know he won't get the ball without the aid of his hands.

If he's allowed to get away with it, that would've been injustice done to loserpool

iamoyindamola:
This kind officiating can spoil young players development that was a pk but never a red
It was never intentional
What's my own sha

I disagree with u. The ball was clearly going to find its way to the back of the net without James putting his arm in the way of the ball.....

It may seem harsh but it is what it is....he stopped a goal scoring opportunity with his arm. Period

Baba, stop dragging Emery and let's face the reality some players are needed to show the exit door before handing Arteta the letter.

Who dey follow u drag Emery ?

Emery at Arsenal was poor .... he made the same mistake Arteta is making now ; building the team around a player with so many inadequacies - Xhaka.

Any coach that builds the team around Xhaka is an enemy and won’t be spared of criticism .
