van persie is too old, he's washed up, he's unfit, i smell another torres signing, united paid too much for him, he cannot replicate his form of last season and reh reh reh!

after match-day 3, van persie 4-2 arsenal

tng: Nigel cost his side this game.

nigel was screwed either way. he was caught in 2 minds, stick or twist....he took out all his goal scoring options to defend their lead which wasn't a bad option considering united got beaten in a similar manner @ goodison!!

coded guy: Winning a game we don't deserve to win is an attribute of champions like United.
-t must be hard for rvp carrying a new club.

van persie carrying a new club? he had 10 attempts, hit 5 on target and scored 3!!! he wasted his fair share of chances today but after scoring his hatrick, i have no complaints at all.....

scholes changed the game but that is because southampton were happy to cede possession like everton did the other night! they gave scholes all the space to pick out his passes -

scholes is a wonderful tool to have in such situations but he cannot start a match cos he's a defensive liability when we are pressed! i thought nani did well too - one assist to his name and he created a super chance that led to the penalty....

StarBoard: But his ball retention/efficiency was rather poor to be honest.
He was mostly wasteful.

my point still stands - if there's no anderson on the pitch, there's no point playing cleverley! he doesn't work well with carrick cos carrick is immobile - those pretty triangles don't come off with a holding midfielder....the ando-clev axis thrives only on mobility! the only daft decision fergie made today was welbeck on the left n maybe lindegaard as the goalie!

montelik: welbeck to blame, not tom c who lost the ball at the half way line, not rio who should have been on lambert or rafael who got totally dominated. when will some of us stop biased scapegoating.

cleverley losing the ball didn't cause the goal, welbeck not covering for evra did. there was about 15 secs between when cleverley lost possession and when lambert scored. the man on the ball took at least 4 seconds to adjust his legs before making that cross - there was no pressure at all to stop him from crossing - the way to defend is to stop the cross from the source.....

southampton did their home work very well - they played in several diagonal ball to isolate our midget full backs so the only way to defend those is to block the cross from the source! welbeck did nothing defensively and offensively - evra got no help at all from welbeck from the 1st and 2nd goal we conceded!

Pataki: Pity RVP's leg has not been broken yet.

2 goals in 2 starts - value!!

[quote author=Mr_TA]I hope Nani gets his form and gets a run in the side. No sure that position is the best for Welbeck.[/quote]welbeck is so shyte/fergie is brainless. welbeck was in no man's land when the saints pulled out the cross they scored from. he kept leaving evra isolated with 2 players while he goes on a walkabout trying to score.....

[quote author=Mr_TA]Much respect to the Legend Sir Alex for being in charge of 1000 league games. [/quote]fergie can [color=#000000]f[/color]uck off!
some of his decisions lately have been worthless! sold berbatov, kept welbeck in the team! he knew berbatov was going to fulham - shouldn't that have been the advantage to prise dembele out of fulham? instead, he tabled a miserable £5m bid for moussa.

Sagamite: Not in my life would I ever need to run from a debate from someone that argues there are contexts where "a wish is not a desire" and someone that argues that "laws are what eliminates addiction in a drug addict". Why would you even bother debating with such a person?

neither would i accept the facts from a guy that argued ibori wasnt guilty, a guy that argued taking drugs kill more people than auto-accident or would i take you serious when you said footballers should not be punished for off-the-pitch incidents!

I would never need to run from someone like that but feel free to call such market-women "I no go gree, you must kill me today" arguments intellectual arguments.

you have that uncanny ability to move goalposts as you please.....from "desires can't be controlled" to "desires can't be changed" .....within a split second!!! you even argued self control is not controlling desires - sagamite, intellectually, you are a leprechaun!

I don't waste my time with people that can not accept logic, facts and be objective. That is way below my intellectual league.

the irony! you have never accepted logic, facts or sound opinion......can you remember your daft comment some moons ago about the irresponsibility of marijuana use? until i pointed out to you the drug is legal in amsterdam, you kept arguing like a blind bat....after you found out marijuana is indeed legal in some european countries, you never came back to the thread!

you are not even in the top echelon of the intellectuals on this forum - what you are good at is writing meaningless epistles that have little or nothing to do with the topic of discussion! why did you run away from the debate on literature section? lmao.....sagamite, accept you are a semi-illiterate and all shall be forgiven - i bear no grudges

at this rate, arsenal won't concede this season! what an outstanding performance again from the back four! podolski puts in defensive shifts a lot so that is a good excuse for his admirers! the gooners played well today --- diaby ate liverpool's midfield with a bottle of mountain dew!

StarBoard: Your boy coogar uses it every chance he gets.
Injuries wouldn't be an issue if we had a decent bench.While I admit the scale hit us in a way that I can't quite remember happening previously, we didn't have enough quality or consistent performances from the fit ones.
Of course Anderson spent more time injured than being fit.
Nani kept being the inconsistent Arrow we know him.Ashley Young only scored against wack London teams.I could go on forever.

and winning against london teams don't count as 3 points, right?

moving on.......

--------lindegaard---------
--rafael--rio--vidic--evra--
----cleverley--carrick-----
valencia--kagawa--welbeck
----------van the man----------


welbeck ahead of nani? fergie's brainfarting again....welbeck is not a wing forward, it does not matter how much he gets to play there!

[quote author=tpia@]i've told these people to stop embarassing nigeria.
the kind of shameless crap that comes off their keyboards, smacks of the kind of idiocy only a desperate goon would post without any sense of decorum.

its amazing how low some nigerian men will descend all in the name of travelling abroad!!!
i blame whoever issued them visas in the first place.[/quote]tape it shut before i get your ovaries smashed
you this ignorant ile-ife bred scallywag!!!

getting your diapers wet because a white woman wrote her nigerian experience on the net - you should be ashamed of yourself. i don't even know what to call you: tribalist-racist!!!

maclatunji: Nobody is implying that this situation is easy for the man. However, the man has to face his responsibilities even if the odds are stacked-up against him, he has to step-up.

step up to 9 rug rats? i hear you.... thats so easy for you to say! walk in his shoes for a day .....

[quote author=Sisi_Kill]Duuuuuuuuude, someone has lost touch with Nigeria alright!! Whao!! I am afraid to ask what you really think of the country.[/quote]nigeria is a shyte country - i am not afraid/have never been afraid to say that anywhere @ anytime. that's what i really think about the country!

But lemme ask you this. . .Do you really think if Crystal Owonubi was in danger, she would remain where she is?
Now I'm truly done.

this is why she's unique - the fact that she knows she is in danger and she's still unfazed about the danger! despite what her embassy must have told her about northern nigeria: the persecution of the christians in jos, boko haram bombings, run of the mill criminals looking for the quick buck, etc she's still not deterred to stay in that part of the country - i am nigerian and i would not stay in jos for all the money in this world!

debosky: ^^ Have Giroud, Cazorla and Poldi bedded in yet?

they have certainly had more time together than dembele & dempsey who only joined last night!

Has our LANS Wilshere and Rozzi returned? Spurs are the least of our worries this season. . . .if care isn't taken they will finish below Liverpool and Everton this season.

time will tell...

[quote author=Sisi_Kill]If anything, Crystal Owonubi is probably living a far better life than majority of her neighbors in Jos. She probably has housemaids, houseboys and drivers up the wazoo. She will mostly likely be treated with more respect than the average Nigerian. One has no doubt that if Crystal goes anywhere in Nigeria for any kind of service. . .she would be given top priority. So what exactly is this hardship she must be facing and why should be applauded for not leaving Nigeria? Why on earth would anyone want to leave all of that and come back to a place where she's just another Jane Doe off the streets?! [/quote]it seems you have completely lost touch of what's happening in nigeria - cynthia is a potential hotcake for thousands of kidnappers lurking around nigeria these days...

Please enough with this Jealousy stuff, it is just so childish even though. . .Ironically, it punctuates the essence of this thread and what many are arguing against, which in case anyone still doesn't get it is - A white person is no more unique than or superior to a black person, so no need for this nonsense about being a "rare breed" (as opposed to what. . .the common breed of Nigerians?

in the context of the security in nigeria, she's unique especially in the north where she could be kidnapped by boko haram or other miscreants trying to make the quick buck. who is more prone to danger in nigeria? a white american citizen or sisikill? call a spade what it is - i really think it's rare to see a woman of her ilk staying in nigeria cos she's married to a nigerian!

debosky: Yawn. . . .as today's evidence shows, I have every reason to remain nonplussed about their signings.

early days, debosky!
they only completed most of their signings 24 hrs ago - they won't hit the ground like most clubs who took their new acquisitions to preseason! they need time to bed together and villas boas must scoop his head out of his own arse this term! if things work out as planned, gooners are screwed!

maclatunji: Yeah, there's a male amongst the quads. If in that position, I wouldn't run, I would just seek for assistance and look for a solution that is best for the kids and the entire family.

his hospital bill alone would build a bungalow in his village......asides that, the media would feed on the story like hell. not too many people like such "yeye" exposure - its not like he's discovered the cure to HIV.

Kobojunkie: I think you should get off this thing you are on.
No one is stopping her from telling her story. NO ONE . . No one is stopping her from printing a book about her life, again, NO ONE.

Kobojunkie: So I don't see the sense in the write up given that she is not a part of some major minority.

don't you just love it when pitiful nigerians do a complete 360 degree? from finding her write up senseless to "no one is stopping her to write"? bunch of zombies!!!

if you are not interested in what crystal owonubi has to say about her experience in jos, you can [color=#000000]f[/color]uck off the thread already. is it normal to have typed 500,000 words in what you find senseless? idiotic hypocrite!!

ogbeche77: Wetin Phelan do u coogar? Lollz @ staring like a lost goat

phelan makes me nauseous - you can tell he has no clue. if fergie makes an error of judgement, you expect his assistant to correct that error - carlos quieroz did that when he was here, same as steve mclaren aka the umbrella man - but for phelan? forget it........all he's concerned about how smooth his shorts look on camera!

[quote author=tpia@]do you think your life is pathetic?[/quote]what's pathetic about my life? i am having the best moment of my life as we speak whilst you are confused why your future is bleak! don't blame me for the unfortunate life you live!

like i said, stop embarassing nigeria- the lady herself no send you message, you ranting dinosaur-era paleothilic ant!!!

embarrass nigeria? i laugh in tpia.....
[color=#000000]p[/color]rostitutes like yourself have damaged nigeria's reputation long before i was born.....

if her matter concerns you that much then she has a blog where you can ululate for her, you dinosaur!

well - if her story disgusts you, what are you still doing on the thread? pitiful nigerians, no creative bone in their body but they all have a professorship in criticism. a woman like you, younger than you, managed to write her memoir and you are here picking holes in her story - are you not ashamed of yourself? when will this inferiority complex end with you gibbons?

shaybe baby: errm, the fact that she is an individual and her experiences are unique to her just like those other couples consist of individuals too with different perspectives on life as well hence making their experiences unique to them as well. They could blog as well and they'd find an audience as well. It's called sharing, if you want no part, don't buy into it but the fact that we are even discussing this on here means that some people want to know more about her. You don't get to decide what piques people's interest and what doesn't. Maybe you find it mundane, run of the mill but that's you. You have every right to feel that way just as someone who finds it news worthy has every right to feel that way.

excellent post.....
i find crystal's post particularly inspiring and i believe some other people would to - still can't understand why some nubians are particularly irked by her story. nigerians go abroad and also write about their experiences so what stops a white female in nigeria doing the same. she's not asked to be made a president or a minister on the back of her story!

i just think the black females on this thread are jealous that a female caucasian is getting the recognition they can never get.....if anyone feels like writing her story, by all means he/she should do so. the under appreciation is unnecessary!

[quote author=tpia@]and while we're at it, can you tell me of any nigerian you know, who doesnt have challenges in their own life?[/quote]if you have any challenge, then hit your keyboards and tell us the nature of your ailment there are charitable individuals on the net that would readily put a fraction of their income towards helping your trisomy 13, you mentally-handicapped peasant!

[quote author=tpia@]gosh!!
you're so s.tupid.
and I am wasting my time!![/quote]if you make 1 kobo for every single moment you have uttered an idiotic statement, you would be richer than mark zuckerberg by now........

bush goat, ode.
what an orangutan you are.

lmao @ bush goat!
tpia, you need deliverance - get help and get laid!!!

[quote author=tpia@]later some s.tupid nigerians will come here shouting about mungo park and how the whites told lies about him discovering the niger.[/quote]so who discovered river niger? that one-eyed king of your village?

[quote author=tpia@]shut up you kangaroo.
have you heard of any whites being caught up in the Jos inferno?[/quote]tpia is on a roll tonight - it must be your time of the month otherwise you don't normally brainfart this much. jos is worse than afghanistan in case you are low on memory chips!

you're so d.aft.

shut up trap, you disgusting knucklehead!

the only problem she could be facing now is the breakdown of security with the way that general's daughter was killed. doesn't bode well for the security situation in nigeria as a whole.

you're a tool!
so you expect this married woman to fly around nigeria to meet some unscrupulous strangers? tpia, your thought process is slower than the revolution of the earth!

[quote author=Sisi_Kill]Stuck? I think the misunderstanding here stems from the fact that you think she has to be suffering because she is living in Nigeria, She doesn't think so or she won't still be there.[/quote]nigeria is not hawaii....
whether she likes it there or not, she's stuck with her husband and family. this is jos we are talking about and she's been there in the last 7 years. the number of christians that have been killed there in that period cannot be less than 10,000.

She lives in Nigeria with hubby because she loves him (Plan A) however if things get too hard for or they have a falling out . . .she has the option of coming back to the US (Plan B). Since she is still there, one can conclude that everything is honky dory which it means at the MOMENT Plan A (living with the man she loves) is not as difficult as Plan B (coming to the US without the man she loves)

even if she finds nigeria hostile, she is not goin to walk away from her husband, is she? this is why i said she's stuck! stuck with the persecution of the christians in jos, stuck with nepa, stuck with lack of basic amenities, lack of security, etc.

The circumstances at the moment a decision is made determines how it is made.

she wants to be with her husband - that matters to her more than any other difficulty but it does not mean she's enjoying it!

Whaaaaaa the whaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Aiiiiiight , that's it. . . I'm out!!

better come back here and tutor her how a perfect housewife behaves!!


[quote author=tpia@]coogar is so much disgracing his hometown on this thread.[/quote]tpia, i would rather disgrace my hometown than choose a lethargic devil like yourself in the name of marrying a nigerian!

what a pity, but that's his life sha.

exactly - my life, my choice......

i think what the lady needs to do now is marry him (coogar) and save him from his misery, because he's obviously in a miserable state. i guess the white woman he has currently, is having issues with him.

tpia, don't be mad i prefer a female caucasian to a spastic minger like yourself na... why does it irk you that my wife is white? tpia, if i assemble all the super telescopes in this world to create another mega telescope, i still wouldn't be able to locate my interest in you
you epitomise all that is wrong in the 21st century nigerian female!

chamotex: Not late . . . just didn't want to believe it.
Fergie should look into the training regime - hope its not too rigorous.

it's the diet and mike phelan.....

maclatunji: Why do many men runaway when their wives have multiple births? A detailed research should be carried-out to find-out why and how such incidences can be reduced. It is not funny. Although, one can't help but laugh sometimes.

would you stay? the only common factor in these stories is the financial incapability of the couples. which begs the question - what were they thinking having another baby after 5 daughters? now the number is 9!! i wish them goodluck, i hope there's a male amongst the quads otherwise we should expect them to try again for a male child!

chamotex: Young out for 2 weeks - I'm starting to believe that this injury situation is no longer a coincidence, something is wrong somewhere.

you are 12 months late!

[quote author=Sisi_Kill]Don't get it twisted. . .this is about Nationality - I married a NIGERIAN and not sex which would have been - I married a NIGERIAN MAN.[/quote]it's the same ish....
living with a nigerian man in nigeria for 7 yrs - its very rare!!!

Again, she made a CHOICE. . .if things get to hard for her, she can leave. It is not like her parents ceased her passport when they disowned her. It easier to cope with something when you know you have a plan B. . .it is simple psychology. What about the other people who are "stuck" in a situation without any fall back plan? They cope. . .they live, they carry on. . .what should we do about them?!!

she's stuck! she's not wanted at home - where would she go?? so it's easy to cope with hardship when there's a plan b? look at the irony in your statement. if the other option is easier than plan a, it wouldn't be a plan b!! who would deliberately suffer herself when there is a better option? she's been married for 12 yrs - how many marriages even survive 3 yrs in naija in this day and age?

Fine maybe it isn't her that should be bearing the brunt of this but the sillies who think what she did is such a big deal it has to be publicized - Oh, oh, looky here. . .a white person saw us worthy enough to married one of us and live among us! Yipee ki yay! Take that morrasuckers!!

sisi, make i hear word.....until you marry a congolese and stay in congo for 7 yrs, you shouldn't knock down this mean feat. life of mosquitoes, violence, political instability, etc and you think it's easy for an oyibo woman to survive that?

[quote author=Sisi_Kill]Dude come now!!
Are you telling me you don't know someone who has been disowned by their family for marrying from the wrong tribe, religion or social class? These people left the comfort of the familiar and trudged on because they chose to do it. You have to remember that she made a decision, she knew what she was getting into. . .none of this was thrust upon her all of a sudden and her adapting quickly to is cause for celebration.[/quote]she wouldn't have known what awaited her in nigeria though - yes, she made the decision herself but credits should be given to her for making that decision. i have seen people who have been disowned by their family cos they married into the wrong religion, social class, etc but guess what - i gave them their credits too....that i have seen it before does not remove the appreciation of what they have done!

I mean seriously what are we raising our hands in the air and hallelujahing here -
That a white woman married a Nigeria? Ooookay, what is so godawful about Nigerians that makes a white woman marrying into our national family and ^*gasps* living in Nigeria a big deal?

the same nigerian men you cabals pillory at any given opportunity on this same section? there's plenty of wahala when marrying a nigerian? a cursory glance at some of the comments here would tell you why. if you are born finnish n you happen to stumble on this forum to read some of the tales here, would you do a nigerian man? answers on a postcard, please!!!

My not living in Nigeria shouldn't be a measure of how great or not so great Nigeria is because it is based on a personal decision. . .just like her decision to live in Nigeria and marry a Nigerian...

really?

If it was a case of. . .say, one day while she was sleeping on her goose feathered bed in America, she was suddenly kidnapped and she woke up to find herself in a place she knew nothing about and married to a man she had never met. . .yet managed to cope, I would understand the need for this self congratulatory piece.

self-congratulatory? she just posted her story......some nigerians read it and appreciated what she's done. according to her, a friend saw it and sent it to lindaikeji and the story went viral. nigerians are unique - they always love the fact that a foreigner wants to adapt to the culture and marry one of their kinds.....there's a titilayo white chic who has become a celeb on the back of speaking yoruba fluently.....her youtube views in total is about 100,000....you cannot tell me she's the first caucasian female to speak yoruba or any other language - she's now a celeb on the back of that tiny achievement!

dayokanu: time is already telling. Snodgrass equalises as it stands AVB without a win in 3 games even when he was given all the free hand he could ever want

.

he needs time to settle!

dayokanu: Which kain teams would buy a Lampard with 180k wages, malouda with 120k or Essien with 120k

who bought berbatov? who bought scott parker?
lampard would get most teams interested - hell, owen hargreaves got a club interested!

Even with 30-50% salary cut, How many mid table teams can afford to pay one player 100k.

nearly all the mid-table teams in england would afford that - they recoup this money back in shirt sales alone!

So tell how would they dissolve contracts of Lamps, Essien and Malouda without paying the heavy amounts

bandy them about all summer - liverpool would take all of them!

dayokanu: But now at Spurs he has the liberty to use that type of football he wants, He didnt inherit old and shiiiity players at SPurs and according to you he made a lot of smart buys.

Lets see how he would end up if as high as Redknapp did

time will tell - dembele(newbie) just scored for him!
