bukatyne: Sorry to go off course but this analogy is a good example for marriage.

As a husband(to be) think of the kind of hubby you want to be: The Uruguay type or the Nigerian type

the uruguay president is staying in his wife's farmhouse. how many nigerian wives have a house to begin with? biko, don't compare........

power means 2 things to different people. in uruguay, it means to serve. in nigeria, it means to be served. this man donates 90% of his salary to charity causes to help make the lives of his people easier. jonathan goodluck spends N1 billion on food alone.

dear lord, what type of clay did you make nigerian leaders from?

coded guy: Coogar even queried his fitness level, RVP that we bought is the one player that his fitness issues need to be appraised properly, yet we bought and I believe Fab has a better fitness record than VPersie until recently.

RVP had posted a clean bill of health for 18 months before we bought him. he played 38 league games for arsenal in his last season there. he played 38 league games for us as well. RVP has managed to overcome his injury-prone career ever since he started rubbing horse's placenta on his legs.

cesc fabregas is never fit......

albuquerque: ^^^^^huh? They can have their rights but I wouldn't want gay in my home dats all

stop fretting over nothing - your partner is not gay if he's been devouring your mound of venus. what made you think his attention didn't go elsewhere after you said you would stop loving your child if he becomes gay?

how old are you?

so because your partner argued for the rights of homosëxuals makes him gay? ok, nigerians should stop killing witches....i am a witch!

Mavrick2012: Gooday folks,please i need your candid advice.
on sunday evening,while i was playing football with my two yrs old son in the sitting room,i overheard my wife making a call at the other end of our sitting room.About three minutes after the call i asked her who was on the line,she looked slightly ruffled, "uncle Amos",she said.I expected her to explain further,but she said nothing more,so i demanded who uncle amos is,she only said "you wouldnt know him".since i observed she wasnt ready to talk,i told her i was going to sleep.
The following morning she told me "uncle Amos" teaches in her sister's school,her elder sister has a school in keffi,we reside in kaduna.
The most shoking aspect of the whole drama was when i suggested she delete the number and stop all form of communications,mywife told me she doesnt like the idea,except if i want her to lie to me.she said she can guaranty its just platonic.
I try explaining but she remained adamant.folks,pleas what should i do?I detest divorce and infidelity

you are being taken for a ride - uncle amos is screwing your wife. go and DNA-test your child ASAP before you are told the shocking news when you plan going to america......

Donxavier: @Coogar I feel you. That's why these european ladies think they can behave anyhow because you have laws that offer them some protection. Even Nigerian ladies begin to flex muscle once they get into the UK behaving anyhow... The lady must have thought she was in Norway where the opposite might have probably happened just at the mention of molestation and she would have cooked up more lies

exactly.....
they carry that same attitude to islamic states and then expect EU laws to protect their reckless attitude.

Donxavier: Why? So she shouldn't be held responsible for her drunken state.... If she allows something in her drunken state she probably won't have allowed in her right senses she's got no culpability

she must have initiated the sex. alcohol increases the sex drive of these women. their senses do not come back till the next morning after the deed must have been done. the deed shames them & they quickly utter the usual crap......."i was drunk, i passed out and i woke up to find myself being räped".

a woman in the UK entered a restricted office of a hotel, rummaged through one of the bags, stole an iPhone and walked away. she was promptly arrested as CCTV had her as the culprit. when she got to court - her excuse was she was too drunk to know what she was doing and she wasn't with her senses when she stole the iPhone.

the judge believed her n she walked free!

shymexx: However, Makelele played alongside Lampard and worse loose cannons and average players like: Geremi (at the twilight of his career), Geremi, Alexei Smertin, Tiago, Jarosik, and Nuno Morais. So evidently, Mikel has no excuse whatsoever, if he's to be compared to the legend of Claude Makelele.

lampard was years younger then, he was strong, durable and would quickly chase back if he loses possession. it's not the case anymore as old age has set in.

Perez was just talking out of his ar.se because he had a great Los Galacticos team - with arguably the best talents in world football at that time. And he was looking for a way to get David Beckham into that team. Makelele ended up being the sacrifice - I guess it had more to do with his skin than his talent.
Didn't Perez also sack Del Bosque afterwards? This alone should tell you all you need to know.

i am not saying florentino perez was right to have sold makelele but everything he said up there was the truth about makelele in those years. he only won the ball and then passed it 3 yards to a teammate(job done)

Alright, I'll cite defensive midfielders. Emmanuel Petit? Didier Deschamps? Patrick Veira? Yay Toure? Are these guys English players?

toure? chased out of barcelona by 19 year-old busquets? this is where you should appreciate subtle defensive midfielders like mikel. football has evolved. no more bonebreakers like keane, vieira, petit, etc....

Mikel doesn't possess the passing range of Carrick and Michael Carrick is arguably the most critiqued player in England. Lucas is just as rubbish as Michael but he's more comfortable than Mikel on the ball. However, you can never compare Busquets to Mikel - Busquets is a box to box player and, technically and tactically superior to Mikel.

busquets is not box to box - he's never ahead of the ball when the game is in play. he sits between his two centre-halves to become the 3rd defender when alves/alba maraud forward. in my opinion, he's the best defensive midfielder in europe for the past 3 or 4 years.

Regardless, this has nothing to do with Lampard and that won't take his name away from the 2nd most hated player in England.You know I support Chelsea and I've been a fan since 1998, right?

nobody hates lampard - even if we assume some fans can't stand him, he's got friends in the media that literally fellate on him everytime. when villas-boas decided to drop lampard, we all saw the meltdown in the media.

ileobatojo: Ok. Assume she was truly raped. She goes right to the police to report it and the next thing she's in jail for having sex outside of marriage. How is that getting justice? At the end of the day, she has realized that they are all against her so at some point she doesn't care about seeking justice anymore since she knows it's not coming. All she wants to do is get back home to her country, so in her state of desperation, why will she not try to take a quick out suggested to her?

why do you argue like this? assuming she was truly räped, the fact that she took alcohol and she allowed a man she's not married to into the same hotelroom are criminal offences. so she's guilty from what she wrote down as statement. policemen came and they took blood sample to analyse the amount of alcohol she had as at the time of the alleged räpe!

When exactly did they gather the evidence when they threw her in jail pretty much the moment she complained to them?

she said in her statement that she's drunk.... she had no drinking license, that alone is enough to put her in jail. then her statement also said she told the sudanese man to escort her into a room - another cardinal offence in dubai. so those offences should have been overlooked?

How does her happiness to get her passport back mean she wasn't raped? If it were me, I would be turning cartwheels at getting my passport back sef. It doesn't change anything except that she is happy to get out of the trap of this biased justice system.

a woman that was räped would seek justice. if she's telling the truth, every dot would connect, no defensive wounds, no screams, nothing. in a hotelroom, there's a possibility the next door is occupied.

They didn't conspire against her specifically. It's their way in general. They are apparently notorious for imprisoning anyone who reports a rape.

yes, they are - they are notorious for imprisoning irresponsible western women with no decorum who think they can go anywhere to desecrate and piss on the laws of the land.

biolabee: The cougar
Back to the debate on the constitution
Though the debate was about renunciation n not underage marriage. The implication of that subsection that a married woman of any age is of sufficient capacity to renoubce means that an underage woman who is married is deemed full age and that is the issue

i understand that perfectly but nigerians actually think this bit was about to be added, when in fact, it has always been there since i was born. seriously, what does it change in the grand scheme of things? removal or addition would not stop those mallams from doing their child marriages.

On the cancer issue, though europe has higher incidences of xancer than afrika, they hsve a lower mortality rate due to better medical care
Data should be contextually defined
Or wat do u think

exactly.....
so how can anyone say cancer is a disease of the poor man when it's easier to contract it in developed nations than in impoverished countries? to draw this comparison with VVF is erroneous because VVF doesn't even exist anymore in developed nations. if all the 10-year olds in the US get pregnant tonight, not a single one of them would have to treat VVF.

there's prevention and there's cure.....

shymexx: Being positionally-disciplined doesn't make a player great - it's about knowing what your job is on the football field, and doing it well. That being said; can you say Mikel has the tactical awareness that a great defensive midfielder ought to have? How many times has he been found wanting because of his inability to read the game?

he does......however, he's often played alongside loose cannons like lampard and sometimes ramirez. these 2 players are the most indisciplined players on the planet when it comes to holding their positions but they often score - so fans quickly forget their atrocities and heap the blame on the water-carrier, mikel!

Makelele had all that and more. His style was breaking up the opponent's play and making short passes to keep possession. If you remember Stefan Effenberg of Bayern Munich, short passes was his game as well. I believe that's just a way to make up for the inability to go past players. However, what separate these two from Mikel - are their leadership qualities, ability to impose themselves on the game, awareness, and comfortability on the ball. Mikel is always shaky on the football in Chelsea's colours.

i will refer you back to what florentino perez(real madrid president) said when he sold makelele to chelsea.

We will not miss Makélelé. His technique is average, he lacks the speed and skill to take the ball past opponents, and ninety percent of his distribution either goes backwards or sideways. He wasn't a header of the ball and he rarely passed the ball more than three metres. Younger players will arrive who will cause Makélelé to be forgotten.

Being an Englishman has nothing to do with display of talent on the football field. Makelele didn't get his just due till he got to England. Jay jay Okocha was celebrated by everyone when he played for Bolton. Heck, he was on the best 11 EPL team, week in week out. Essien isn't English but he's celebrated by everyone. Odewinge isn't English, but West Brom fans love him to bits. I was still living in Birmingham when West Brom signed Odewinge and I know how much they all adore him. England is the home of football - and English fans love football.

good examples you listed up there but which of these players is a dedicated defensive midfielder? none. okocha is an attacking midfielder, he scores goals. odemwingie is a striker, he scores goals. essien is a box to box midfielder, he scores goals. mikel is a water-carrier, he cannot score goals from that position so he's easier to criticise.

the equivalent of mikel in the other clubs are carrick(man utd), lucas(liverpool) busquets(barcelona). when fit, no manager leaves these players on the bench. they provide the balance needed to a team. only mikel gets underrated but guardiola/del bosque never joked with busquets.........he's one of the few spanish players that completed all the minutes in the last world cup.....

You and I know that fat-boy Frank Lampard is the 2nd most hated guy in England after (C)ashley Cole. However, his goal scoring prowess is the reason why people can't just kick him to the curb. Yes, tons of English players are overrated but English people adore great talents.

now you get my point.....
lampard can screw-up 30 passes in a game and win man of the match. all he needs to do is score a penalty and all is forgiven. we are often bribed deceived by this - forgiving a player's general poor play just because he scored!

dayokanu: I already told you all that Young is a fraud. The worst player ever seen.

One Arrow named Coogar even compared him to Ozil

https://www.nairaland.com/716327/manchester-united-fan-thread-premier/70#9731335

you are a disgrace to football.....this was their stats as at the time i made that statement......

muller: 2 goals, 4 assists, 15 appearances, 1281 mins
young: 2 goals, 5 assists, 10 appearances, 811 mins
nani:---3 goals, 4 assists, 14 appearances, 1062 mins
ozil:----0 goals, 5 assists, 14 appearances, XXXX mins.

bgirl: Lecturers? I'm sorry in my school we referred to them as 'Professors'. You know why? Well, it was required to have a Doctorate to teach in my school (and every single person who taught in the Engineering department was a professor). Um, was there any such requirement in your school? Oops, I guess not, anyone, could come in, teach and call themselves a "lecturer" - qualifications not necessary. That would explain your illiteracy.

in a 3rd-tier college like ottawa, i need to verify that statement. was that not where salisu buhari got his dodgy certificate from when he wanted the position of a speaker in the house of assembly?

Well, I'm off to the gym now. In addition to being smart, I choose to stay fit, healthy, cute. You know... Double threat (Beauty and Brains)! You should try to get some exercise too. Get off the computer, go swimming, go for a run it's a beautiful day, play some tennis, it keeps the brain sharp! Lol. Again and hopefully for the last time... BYE!

forgive my pedantry but shouldn't that be double treat? it's so unfortunate that my fit and cute adversary cannot spell. don't even dare say it's a typo. there's a difference between typo and gross ineptitude....

i prefer mental exercise to physical exercise - you are likely suffering from acute obesity so take your gym class seriously before you kick the bucket......while you are at it, do away with junk food to quicken your weight loss program.

shymexx: However, Mikel doesn't have the composure, tactical awareness, and technical abilities that Makelele had. With Makelele, the team's defense and attack started with him - he was like a general on the football field. Everything started with him.

fortunately, he does.....he's the most positionally-disciplined player in chelsea. he doesn't score because he rarely leaves his position to shield his centre-halves. nigerians say all he does is sideways/backward passing but that's his primary role: to keep possession. as a manager, i will rather have a backward pass than a forward pass that is intercepted!

Yeah, Mikel does break the opponent's attack from time to time, but that's about it. He's not really comfortable on the ball and despite playing for Chelsea for more than 8 years now, he's yet to exert his authority on that Chelsea team. This isn't even about lack of goals - Mikel lacks what made most of the great defensive midfielders who have played the round leather game great.

mikel does better than that - if he's an englishman, he would be hyped to the high heavens. he is criminally underrated by premier league fans but he does what makelele did back in the days. break the attack, play a short pass and keep the possession within his teammates.


makelele never attempted a pass more than 10 yards, he never dribbled past anyone. he scored a total of 2 goals in 5 seasons for chelsea and he's a legend. how is makelele different from mikel? you gotta admit the way we watch football or analyse players have changed. mikel is a very good player but trust the british media to heap criticism on him whenever chelsea lose a game....it's easier to find a scapegoat in mikel than their golden boy, frank lampard!!!

dayokanu: Better than Gotze and Gundogan LMAO

of course, gotze and gundogan have never missed a CCC in their career.

shymexx: Crap!!
How dare you compare Mikel to Makele? - that's blasphemy!! That's like comparing Ortega to Maradona!

Mikel is just confused in Chelsea's colours - when he isn't trying to be pseudo-Makele, he's trying to play like pseudo-Ballack. Tell him to play Mikel football and stop being afraid of the ball. Express yourself, son!

they are basically the same team but prozone stats & social media have damaged the way fans watch football these days. if a certain player does not score 48 goals in 26 games then he's not good enough to modern football fans.

the mikel's case has been overflogged - i don't think any poster has written about mikel on this forum than i have. mikel does what made makelele a legend in his prime but the nigerian gets criticised for his lack of goals and blah blah blah

bgirl: You seemed remotely intelligent when we first started. It's interesting how my ability to counter, breakdown and completely obliterate your argument with a superior, well articulated one supported by facts and figures has reduced you to an insult hurling bumbling id1ot void of any facts/research/studies to support your ignorant claims. Lol.

is this your rebuttal to the daft analogy you tried to draw comparing the scourge of VVF to the prevalence of cancer? you are a miserable dolt! after you got found out as a disgusting charlatan, you are now eulogising about your inaptitude in school. i am of a higher breed. sorry, you cannot compete if you don't know the difference between prevention and cure!!!

This has been very entertaining. I'd love to stick around but I have to go and interact with educated people now... and by 'educated' I mean people who went to real schools. You know? Schools that are actually rated. Have you been inside one before? Funny how you skillfully avoided telling me what school you went to? Was it University of the bush? Because that would explain why you can't read a graph. Lol.

i will leave that information as your assignment. scour my previous posts or use the search engine and maybe you might find the information about my school. all i can say is my school has produced more nobel-prize winners than the number of science lecturers in ottawa university.....

I bet you wish my parents would have married me off as a child because then I wouldn't have been informed or educated enough to school your a$s! In any case, My work here is done. Have a nice life. Till next time... arrivederci!

actually, i wish you weren't born at all cos you are a waste of their hard-earned money. how can you draw a comparison between VVF and cancer in developed/underdeveloped countries? you need 100,000 hours of active studying to reach my level - your attention span is shorter than my cuticle....

the debate has been interesting asides the fact that you copped an L while i got the W as usual. make sure i don't find you anywhere else on this forum spewing fuckery....or else i would hand you another can of aśs-whooping!!!

bgirl: I said:
How does this even remotely imply that cancer is a disease of the poor? Absolutely not! Cancer is not a disease of the poor. I was simply mirroring your argument in order to show the flaw in it. According to you:

you were busy mirroring nonsense cos your cancer analogy falls flat on it's face.

More kids have VVF in impoverished countries than in developed countries therefore (according to you) it is a "disease of the poor".

If you believe this then could also deduce that:

Since cancer mortality rates are higher in impoverished countries than in developed countries, it is a disease of poverty. That would of course be wrong. My point? Just because poor people are more affected (by VVF or Cancer or Malaria... etc) doesn't mean that it is caused by poverty. It simply means they are unable to afford the treatment. I don't know if this clarifies things for you but quite frankly, I am tired of spoon feeding you.

you must have skipped logic classes in school. if you cannot discern between occurrence and cure after tertiary education then it's fair to say the money invested in your education was actually a waste!

VVF does not exist in any developed country because of their superior health care. so i am not talking about cure in the developed countries, i am talking about superior health care that actually prevents VVF from happening through quality antenatal and postnatal care even though developed countries also have high rates of teenage pregnancy.

cancer still exists in the developed world in terms of it's high occurrence and treatment. so tell me how your cancer analogy fits into VVF scourge? like i said, you have to be at your sharpest to debate here, this is not ottawa where you bagged a degree from a 3rd-tier institution. how many nobel-prize winners has your school produced?

When did I imply that I couldn't take it? I feel like I always have to spell things out to you in order for you to understand. Ok. Here we go again. This is what I said:

stop lying, this is what you said...and this bit was what i replied to...

bgirl: I always find that people who cannot make their point with facts resort to insults

you really need to learn to be more articulate. your verbiage sucks and if you really think what you attempted was sarcasm then may heaven help you....

Now when addressing people who are smart, you typically do not have to tell them that you are being sarcastic. They are generally able to infer from your tone that you are in fact being sarcastic. In my case, I clearly stated that I was being sarcastic just incase you were too dumb to infer the obvious but you still were unable to see the sarcasm in my statement. So let me be blunt: You can attempt to insult me from now till next year, I don't give a flying f&%k! Your opinion means zilch to me. Do you get it now?

weak sarcasms are meaningless.....if you don't give a flying fück about my insults, why mention it in your reply? you either ignore the insults overall or give it back to me in equal measure, you two-faced hypocritical twit.

Oh well. B. Eng, computer systems, University of Ottawa (2011). Co-op program. Dean's honor list 2008, 2010. I'm pretty certain the money spent on my education was an investment.By the way, please tell me where you learnt to read charts so I'll be sure NOT to send my kids there!

don't even bother..... with your below average intelligence, you wouldn't be able to afford where i learnt to put dorks like yourself in their place. half the cube-root of my IQ is beyond you so find someone else in your lower echelon to discuss your 3rd tier degree in computer systems with?

debosky: You lost that season primarily due to your apocalyptic meltdown to Everton, not to a lack of goals.

if we had drawn wigan away from home, we would have won the title. rooney fired blanks at wigan and another drought against man city in a game we dare not have lost. playing a 4-4 draw with everton at old trafford is not a bad result!

I disagree! Those playing as local champions is different from playing for England.

how is it different? england are stronger than mexico and bulgaria. how did berbatov/hernandez manage to score that amount of goals for their respective countries and rooney cannot cut it with a superior midfield and wing support?

montelik: young is defrauding us after spending 17m on a player in the last year of his contract as well as 130k wages. meanwhile we are haggling with nani.

meanwhile if evra and fabio continue that type of performance, baines won't be such a bad idea.

moyes is a plank.....
the key to winning these preseason games even when so many changes are made is to maintain a strong spine while those changes are made. when RVP went off, hernandez should have been introduced. the centre-backs, centre-midfield and the arrowhead should have been preserved!

i know it's preseason but hell, there's enough gloom in the club and moyes should be playing to win these games. i fail to see what giggs add to this squad tactically or morally. isn't he supposed to be a coach sitting alongside phil collins?

bgirl: You are still talking? You cannot read a chart and you are still speaking? You are not ashamed? I showed my 14 year old sister the chart and she immediately got it. She also said: "but why are you arguing with someone who cannot read a chart"? I think I'll take her advise. GOODBYE!

you have the brain capacity of a pubic louse. you carelessly made an obtuse statement that cancer is a disease of the poor - which means one must be poor to contract cancer.

i called you out on it and showed you a chart that more people in the developed world have cancer than the impoverished west africa and you are spewing megede-fegede.

the money spent on your education should have been invested in trojan condoms to prevent your conception in the first place, bloody dullard!!!!

bgirl: I am sorry, I have to draw the line somewhere. The fact that you cannot read the chart that you are quoting nullifies your argument. I am tearing my hair out right now. Coogar, please, please, seat down with someone who took basic math. Look at the chart again. Please note that there is a difference between mortality and mortality rate. Mortality is the number of people who died. Mortality rate it the number of people who died divided by the number of incidents. I can't teach you math. I give up!

you are such a disgrace to formal education - the chart simply shows there are more incidents and more deaths in western europe than in west africa in spite of the lack of medical facilities in west africa to combat cancer.....

was it not you that was drawing this analogy with VVF saying the cure is irrelevant but the root cause? so if more people cop cancer in western europe and more people die in western europe, how the heck is cancer the disease of the poor?

you lack cognitive reasoning, get out of my face before i piss in your nostrils.....

Ogbeche77: Now this is irritating.. Zaha out for Giggs
Must this old crook play every game for united, at least let this young chaps have more playing time before the season kick start.. We all know where they ll all end up from 17th aug

moyes simply took out all the attacking outlets and replaced them with quacks. removed van persie, removed zaha, so welbeck and the little janujaz are expected to finish off chances? i am sick and tired of giggs playing for us.

well, the game is not important.....

bgirl: You are proving my point hun.
Let me try again. That is like saying that since poor people in Nigeria are more likely to die of malaria than rich people, Malaria is a poor peoples disease. No, Malaria is caused by exposure to mosquitoes. All you are telling me is that America has a cure. My question to you? What is the cause??

the cause is poor hygiene, lack of quality healthcare before, during and after the birth. it's not like there's no teenage pregnancy in america too, you already saw the charts but the quality care has now made VVF a thing of the past.

Did you pay attention in Algebra?
Lets take a look at YOUR OWN Chart:
Middle Africa:
Incident=100, Mortality=80: Mortality rate: 80%

Northern Africa:
Incident=110, Mortality=120: Mortality rate= 92%

Western Africa:
Incident=90, Mortality=80, Mortality rate= 89%

North America:
Incident=350, Mortality=80, Mortality rate= 22.9%

New Zealand:
Incident=360, Mortality=80, Mortality rate= 22.2%

You always look at percentages because of variations like: Population, reported cases etc.

are you an illiterate? where did you pluck the figures you are quoting? lolololol. can you not see western europe have a far more mortality rate than western africa? if you are suffering from the pink eye, please get help instead of plucking statistics from your rectum!

There is a significant difference between violating and repulsing. I guess the fact that I find beans repulsive means that people eating beans in front of me are violating my rights! I always find that people who cannot make their point with facts resort to insults. Calling me a "disgrace" really hurts my feelings because you know your opinion means the world to me. (Just to be clear, that is a little thing called sarcasm)

this girl is really plumbing new depths.......i don't give a flying fück what homoerotic plebs do in the comfort of their homes - it's when they are allowed to carry out their lewd acts in the church that i got ticked. so your analogy about someone eating beans being drawn into forcing a lewd act on my fundamental beliefs of my faith is largely erroneous!!!!

you started the insults - if you can't take it, don't dish it!

Yes, I know better than the parents. Lots of parents who give out children as child brides are ignorant of the facts. Giving birth to a child doesn't automatically make the mother informed about how best to care for her child neither does it guarantee that she is a fit parent.

you know better than hundreds of millions of the islam nation? many of which are experts in their chosen fields? surgeon generals, chartered accountants, pilots, professors, doctors, rocket scientists, monarchs, chemists, engineers, etc?

let me have what you are smoking, mate.....

debosky: Did Berba score 30 goals?

did berba play as many minutes as rooney? was berba our chief penalty taker in 2010/11? if he was, he would have scored 40 goals without wahala...

Play Rooney as CF as you did when he scored 34 and he'll score a bazillion too.

we did in the season city won the title. rooney was the CF against wigan and man city(2 crucial games in the title run) and he could not find the net and we lost 6 points. fergie had enough and brought in an accomplished goal-getter. i don't need to tell you how the season panned out as united won the title with about 4 games to spare.....

Rooney disgraceful for the national team? What is his recent scoring record?

compare his national team starts to lesser mortals like hernandez and berbatov and you would understand rooney is just an overhyped piece of fecal matter.

debosky: Yeah - and he scored 34 goals as an indisciplined player. How I wish there were more like that.

the much-maligned berbatov won a golden boot for united without taking a penalty so what does that tell you? any decent striker with minutes under his belt would score 30 league goals for man utd. united create far too many chances for their strikers not to score goals.....

this was how zonal marking analysed rooney against italy.....

More important, however, was the freedom Andrea Pirlo enjoyed. At times England’s shape was good, bringing both strikers back into the midfield zone, remaining compact and getting both Danny Welbeck and Wayne Rooney goalside of Pirlo. When Welbeck was in a position to close down the Juventus midfielder, he generally did his job excellently.

Rooney was much sloppier, and after half an hour when Pirlo’s dominance had become clear, Joe Hart was clearly heard shouting at Rooney to pick him up. Hodgson clearly wanted Rooney to do this, because for much of the game Rooney could be seen half-heartedly jogging towards Pirlo. It was reminiscent of the 2011 Champions League final, where he started off marking Sergio Busquets, before gradually leaving Manchester United outnumbered in midfield.

It’s odd that Rooney’s tactical indiscipline has become such a problem – only a few years ago his willingness to sacrifice his own attacking game for the good of the team was reagrded as one of his main qualities. England could have done with someone like Rooney’s club teammate, Park Ji-Sung, who did a superb job on Pirlo in 2009/10 – Urby Emanuelson did something similar for Milan earlier this year. Leaving Pirlo free was suicidal, and he completed over 30 more passes than any other player

rooney runs around too much for a centre forward or a man in the hole. he doesn't know the moment to press, he doesn't know when to give up a lost case. his adventuresome often takes him far away from the opposition's goal so much that by the time his team gets the chance to put a ball in the box, rooney is not there to finish off.

No they are not - go and listen to what JM said about Cristiano Ronaldo.

he said that as bad belle. besides, in ronaldo's case he scores bazillion of goals to cushion his temper tantrums. for every goal ronaldo gives away because of his tactical indiscipline, he scores about 4 in return. you cannot say the same for rooney. he's useless for the club and even more disgraceful for his country.

elampiro: 3. Anderson and Cleverly started. Except in the last 12 minutes, United midfield was subdued. However, the team is leading.

start anderson/cleverley in a 2-man midfield and they would outscore any opponent on the planet. they would leave the midfield exposed of course but the ammo they add to the attack would subdue any opponent!

it's a winning formulae any united manager should take note of!

debosky: This is a clear example of Rooney’s grouse - that was sheer humiliation in my view. Why would you not play the energetic Welbeck in the chasing role, or even Anderson? You now take your most prolific CL forward and put him on marking duties? Someone considered the best English player of the current crop?

rooney was poorly trained - he's a street footballer...he's not positionally disciplined enough to start as a centre forward or play in the hole. he has the gerrard syndrome! perhaps, it's because scousers are generally daft! rooney gets too attracted to the ball, how many times did capello/fergie complain in the past that rooney should let others do their job and concentrate more on doing his.

rooney is a manager's nightmare....

Ibra wouldn’t take that, CR7 wouldn’t take that, heck no Barca coach in his right mind would place Messi on such duties, neither would Chelski do the same with Didier. Yet y’all expect Rooney to take that type of treatment and lay low.

the players mentioned above are disciplined enough to listen to their manager's instructions. why would they be moved around? rooney likes to be the makeshift, whose fault is that?

99cent: ^ citizenship renunciation heh?
u really are trying to convince me that the northern senators want to keep the clause so that the underage girls can have the "right" to renounce their Nigerian citizenship if they marry foreigners and vice versa?. Joke of the day.

have you lost your ability to read? can you not see the where it says the constitution was talking about acquiring citizenship or renouncing it? was the subsection about marriage or why are you drawing your own inference to something that is self-explanatory?

different countries have different "adulthood" age. and if you have any critical thinking faculties at all, u will see that the word "citizenship" there is to make it known that Nigerian national "adulthood" age is set to 18. I'm not even a law student and can interpret the legal wording. It's simple enough. they are not talking about Nigerian citizenship. they are talking about the definition of legal adulthood in Nigeria

the above simply tells me you are a propagandist who loves who wallow in cheap sensationalism. the topic of discussion was citizenship. the debate was for whether married women are deemed to be full of age....if anything, yerima's interest is for his egyptian wife or the foreign girls he's about to marry to acquire nigerian citizenship immediately he marries them!

government is currently in session and hearing bills to amend the constitution. the people are voicing their concerns and you are mad about it.

what a lout of a human being you are - i am not mad at what people in the government voicing their concern are doing, i am mad at the fact that you thought they wanted to sanction underage marriage in our constitution. a learned person shouldn't be caught exhibiting the traits of a stark illiterate - it's unforgivable!!!

that clause was inserted in 1979 because Aminu Kano felt that undeage girls were mature enough. I bet $1000 bucks they are considered only mature for s.ex, hard labor nothing else. I sure don't see these "legal adults" at the voting booths. oh also since they are adults and no longer children, they are not required by law to get compulsory childhood education!

so you agree this clause has always been in place even before i was born and you were fighting it shouldn't be added to the constitution??

there goes all the training you had from cradle like a puff of smoke. i fail to see how a clear & concise written letters can be misconstrued to mean child marriage. you might want to visit specsavers or a brain doctor......

bgirl: Oh my goodness. Can any one be so hard headed?
Impoverished countries where we have the same medical facilities for both underage and mature mothers (meaning all things are equal), the mortality rate of underage mums is 500% higher than adult mums. What in the good lords name does that tell you? Basic integrated science: Take a control environment, a test environment, make a hypothesis, draw a conclusion. Good Lord!

Environment one: Death rate of Adult mothers in impoverished nations: x
Environment two: Death rate of Underage mothers in impoverished nations: 5x.
Conclusion: Underage mothers in impoverished nations are 5 times more at risk than adult mothers.

Is Nigeria an impoverished nation? Yes. Therefore underage mothers in Nigeria are 5 times more at risk of dying during child birth than adult mothers. What are you arguing about??

you are a consummate rëtard!
honestly, it's fair to say the money spent on your education should have been used to produce cocoa. VVF is a poverty disease, it has nothing to do with the underdeveloped bodies of female children....

HISTORY OF VVF IN AMERICA

Was obstetric fistula ever a problem in the USA?
You bet it was. Back in the days before we had broad-based access to emergency obstetric care, women died in childbirth at rates likely just as high as the worst anywhere in the world today. Obstetric fistula presented such a problem that many surgeons attempted to find a solution.

An American surgeon named James Marion Simms developed the surgical technique to treat fistula that he reported in 1852. Simms is a controversial figure in history as most of his early test subjects were women with fistula who were living as slaves.

However, his treatment proved very much in demand. Women from all over the country needed this technique and Simms found himself helping to set up the world’s first fistula hospital on the current-day grounds of the Waldorf Astoria.

Widespread access to emergency obstetric services made obstetric fistula a thing of the past in the USA. Access to quality medical care would end obstetric fistula in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, where maternal death and disability is a huge problem. But developing these types of health systems takes generations and there are people who desperately need help.

america leads the charts of teenage pregnancy in the developed world and they have managed to put the occurrence of VVF behind them through quality medical care - it then means the lack of primary health care, illiteracy and acute poverty are the reasons children are copping VVF in nigeria. the fault is with the health ministry.....

More people in impoverished countries die of cancer than people in developed countries. Does that mean that cancer is caused by poverty??

another heap of asinine comments coming out of your mouth. who told you people in impoverished countries die more of cancer than the developed world? you illiterates just throw conjectures in the air without facts and figures backing your vacuous comments...

https://www.inctr.org/typo3temp/pics/Figure_1_C_79f98c5e5e.png

as you can see yet again, there's more incidence of cancer and a higher cancer mortality rate in the developed countries than the impoverished ones. you might want to start checking your facts before spewing balderdash on a public forum.

You are a complete slowpoke if you think people should rearrange their lives to suit your every whimp. Who in the hell cares what repulses you or not? Indecent exposure is a sexx crime. It is not illegal because it repulses people, it is illegal because it VIOLATES people. Please DO NOT come at me with weak arguments. You may get away with it with other people but NOT WITH ME!

hahahaha, see pot calling kettle black. who the hell cares if you are disgusted that muslim parents give out their underaged daughters for marriage? what's the significance of your opinion on this matter in the grand scheme of things?

you are a disgrace to the community that sponsored your education. the concept of gay marriage violates the church and it violates billions of christians all over the world. whatever repulses me also violates the fundamental beliefs of my faith! you are so idiotic to be playing with words and thinking you are making sense...

None of my parents decisions put me at risk of physical or psychological harm.

marriage does not put anyone in a physical/physiological harm. that is in your knucklehead. you do not know better than the parents of the child being married. mind your damn business, you 2-faced hypocrite. if you check your house in nigeria today, there's an underage girl working as housemaid in your parent's house!

It was a hypothetical to illustrate the point that when there is a conflict between exercising your rights and trampling on someone else's, you have to give up yours. Simple enough?

your propensity to stretch the borders of daftness is exemplary - it seems pissing in the wind is your favourite hobby. religion has a big role to play in what islamic parents do their female wards. efforts should be made to make their lives easier, not impose a draconic law that violates the tenets of islam!

there are several ways the government can work around this issue. for instance, a clause can be put in place that any child below 18 can marry but not allowed to have intercourse till 18 or not allowed to leave her parent's place until she's had some education.....the law is meant to make people's lives easier, not to oppress them!

99cent: pls don't make me laugh.
Full-age = Adult aka "old enough to have s[size=1pt].[/size]ex."

i guess it's troll time for you now - did you read the whole section 29 and the subsections at all?

renounce citizenship my azz. pls tell me you are joking. why would the senators be discussing whether or not married 13 yr olds can renounce citizenship. unless "citizenship" is codeword for something u r not being explicit about.

stop displaying your ignorance, abeg....
before now, you were fighting against this clause 4a/b not to be added to our constitution when it has always been in place since 1999.
