Yes, If Boro had your entire bench in the first team, we'd be in the top 3 by now angry

Even that reserve bench can twack Newcastle without putting up much fight.

I don't get,

In a midfield where you have Ronaldo, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs what more do you need, a Makelele? The English media say is a master passer, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Christiano Ronaldo need no introduction. Okay maybe Scholes and Giggs are relatively getting old, get Andres Iniesta.

And now a quality striker, do you mean a back up for both attack and midfield? (Buy me Fergie, i eat popcorn too wink) Buy Ikechukwu Uche, that Naija dude from Recreativo Huelva.

Luque and Maccarone are examples of high hopes being levelled, Saha and Rooney are in the top 10 top scorers in the league, the best attacking force this season, do you want to bring Cantona back from retirement? grin If Solskjaer steers clear of medical bills and Larsson's return is as sure as death, what else do you need?

Fergie looks good 2 go.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Drogba: I'm Better Than Thiery Henry by Christino(m): 7:48pm On Dec 04, 2006
@ Sammy

I honestly respect your opinion, but some things are definitely not clear to me

Drogba is 6 foot 2 in, how tall is Henry?

If you say his creativity (on the pitch) is just 15% i really need to understand that, do you mean dribbling or vision or "creating chances" for self or others. (He had 11 premiership assists last "poor" season). You singled this point out as "on the pitch" does that mean other points are off the pitch or that he's creative elsewhere?

And as for Ball control, Mr. I beg to disagree, Drogba is not bad @ all. Remember the goal against Barca, that's quick control, reflex and precision and that speaks volumes.

Take it or leave it, so far this season, he has played better than Henry & that's why he has the guts to say this.The season is still young for us to judge but "right now" you can't dispute that. And he says he owes that to Shevy.

Looking forward to the next time, now that it's 6 points abreast of chelsea, what's gonna happen?

@ Rikky,

Boro won't lose sleep over a loss to a top team like Man-U. Check it. Southgate would be out to get a draw, it's left to the boys to make it what they want. Team spirit is high right now and Downing is returning (you know what that means?)

This same team made it to the UEFA cup final (but for Hasselbaink) team's still on fire (whenever they want to be).

@pie1ect,

grin Glad to see that Martins is now in the EPL, let's compare their strike rates at the end of two seasons assuming he's just settling in this season.

I don't blame Martins cos even Shevy, a Serie A import is struggling in Star-Studded Chelsea.

But comparing Martins with Rooney requires extreme Patriotic Sentiments wink

shocked Man-U got Larsson?

That dude is a crazy one grin He scores fire. I can't forgive him for killing Naija's last world cup adventure with a brace, the old man killed our defenders and murdered Shorunmu.

I like him (and Allback too) and he's just about a good backup for Man-U. These old men can do wonders no their day o. Fergie is just learning to play his chess this time around cos i've been wondering what he's going to do about his limited options upfront.

Larsson is a killer, anyday and YaK is going to play like him grin!

Someone help beg Southgate to go get Kris Boyd or this Arsenal boy called Stokes. Celtic imports seem to perform well in the EPL (like Bellamy was on fire when he returned from celtic)

GamingRe: What If Apple Decides To Make Their Own Game Console? by Christino(m): 12:02pm On Dec 01, 2006
Those extortionists called Apple?
Thanks to Linux in the first place! Now back to topic.

Okay, they'll invent their extremely gorgeous i-Consl (for instance) with 256MB RAM, 4GB HDD two wireless gamepads with keypads and remote for your i-pod (no viruses), free online connectivity and a few bad ass games (i don't see them getting all the game formats in a single year) and then ask us to buy each for $5,000. Yes, and that's it!

Meanwhile, if Apple are strictly hardware based, though they have their OS and other programs, then SONY are Double Hardware based!

In summary, their console will get all of the hype and publicity and will sell like wildfire (everyone knows and thinks the apple is classy, packaging and finishing is always excellent and attractive) but the world would go bankrupt in a year because of the prices, and Koreans would need to work even harder to produce its counterfeit!

The guy who hacked the i-tunes is a 23 year old boy, Johansen (i guess) and I hope he hacks Zune too (Zune has reportedly upstaged the ipod in the mobile mp3 player market, microsoft's marketing is one of the world's best - aggressive and domineering). The hacker has set his company up but might go to jail if Apple press for charges or gain worldwide fame if they lose! All the same people are enjoying his hackery (though it's not free to get his software). I'll post the link when I get it.

The cheapest Apple lappie is $1,200 (before, the closest was $2,000) when you can get some brand new "correct pc based lappies for $400).
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Henry Misses Fifa Award Shortlist (this Is Just Unfair To Henry) by Christino(m): 11:37am On Dec 01, 2006
@ Kit,

When a player performs so well, the club tend to look up to him @ all times. Brazil's flop @ d world cup was partly due to Ronnies tiredness, If Yak is not on good form, Boro ends the game without a goal, Liverpool prayed hard for Gerrard to return to his best. People said England exited from the Euro 2004 and the world cup due to Rooney's woteva woteva,

Now the world knows the FIRE behind Arsenal's success is Henry and if he's not inspired, I fear things will go on like that. Teams that go to relegation are usually not individually bad, but when the firepower is missing, there's hell. Do you remember Leed's made it to the semifinal of the Champion's league before their relegation? How did such a team go down (forget debts and other excuses, they are not alone in that aspect), the Bakke's,Smith,Viduka and Kewell but to mention a few. Even with Mascherano and Tevez plus the great guys in westham, they went on an unending losing spree (Pardew said Reo Coker was playing all that while with a back injury - can you imagine?).

Unless we intend to runaway from that fact, without a capable genius and firepower (be it a midfielder or an attacker, or even a defender (Pernia scored 11 for athletico last season) he must be able to score goals when the team is down) you guys will just have to wait. RVP is trying but until Igwe returns to form, it's not going to be Uhuru!

Imagine an injured/out of form Rooney in an Ericsson's camp - It's DOOMSdAY!

Zizou
Canna
Fucking ronadinho third
Typical naija man,

Maybe you should start by reviving Nassarawa United by playing against defenders like Orjinta shocked Are you on Coastal  Paraga? shocked

@ Topic (this one fit long o, no mind my story, just get the points out)

I've been reading comments so far, I really need to bare my mind on this.

Firstly, it wouldn't be news if Henry wasn't cheated. Why did the story have to make headlines on papers and websites?
Google Henry not listed on bla bla bla and see results. Why are people not clamouring for some other player? That implies that there has to be an abstract reason.

Okay, the first time Ronnie (Aderanyin) won this award, he did not win a major trophy. So getting to the final and not winning the trophy is not enough excuse. (Please Ronnie was outstanding with about 15 goals and 22 assists if i can remember and he rescued Barcelona from their jinx/mystery) but no major trophy, but a second place finish in the league and good outing @ the world cup(this time around nko?).

Oliver Khan was named player of the tournament in Germany, but conceded 2 goals in the final, including a butter finger slip (olu omo ronaldo was on form!) - no trophy. Simply outstanding!

But how can a team go far without someone inspiring them? Barca and Milan were favorites for the cup back then and it was no news seeing them in the Final, but it was a great shock to see Arsenal there (first time).

Gerrard's inspiration for Liverpool back then (though no league crown) shoulda earned him the award then if that was the case, simply outstanding Roman was prepared to rob the bank, and last season too, a midfielder of that class scored 23 goals in all competition journalists are not bothered that his name did not appear, they all want to know why Henry did not make it.

As far as i'm concerned, there's a deal between Barca and Fifa, check the days of Romario, Ronaldo and Rivaldo and now Ronaldino. (If your name starts with an R and has an a in the middle and ends with an o and you can play FIRE and you belong to Barca the crown is yours!) so i won't be surprised if they give it to Ronnie again.

If they needed a "valedictory" gift for Zidane, they should try some other means, just some months ago, they showed how much of a bitch they were to Zidane by fining Materazzi for verbal attack (i don't think there is a player in this world who has not been verbally battered on pitch - absolute nonsense to end the case like that) and now he gets a nomination above all who played so well! This is one aspect that cannot be justified but for sentiments. What about Makelele, Thuram and Viera? wait sef, no negro in the list grin Ori mi o i'm laughing here o, blacks really need to step up ke? cheesy

Just last month, Ronnie won an award, so did Eto'o, Messi and the Barca team itself (now tell me, do you see any foul play here, all because they did the double or woteva?)

And then to top it all, FiFA shoulda looked at Sevilla who had just returned to the Primera Liga and have done so much like winning the UEFA cup, finishing 5th and DESTROYING FIFA's almighty Barca to become the overall victors (European) last season! Now that is some inspirational shit Ronnie did 3 years ago and that'll be fairness on FiFa's part. I hope they give it to Cannavaro this time (Juve's issue was not his fault anyway), good outing @ the club/world cup but poor finish in Europe.

Henry go wait tire o, unless shame catch them sha, but like Okocha, e be like say na so things go dey go o.

Won't be surprised to see Ronnie named "European Fooballer of the year someday, by default" na then dem go explain pass!!! angry

Politics as usual.
