Na u know o. I know he used to attend lectures at the same uni. Conclude whatever you like, loool

maybe to sell alomo bitters or shekpe. debosky does not sound like an educated fella to me.

darefestus:
@Cougar
Are you sure SAF is buying players . . .Cos Fergie is not an apostle of january transfers.

vidic, evra, etc

Mr_TA:
I seriously doubt he will sign anyone.Well apart from the keeper we already signed.

he conceded united are now light in wide areas. js park(not back till end of january), nani(struggling with injury), giggs(too old), valencia(february). don't be surprised if you see alexi sanchez or david beckham coming in.

proudly9ja:
1. debosky finally accepting his blind 'love' for Marouane (this guy and I finished from the same uni and same faculty and he prolly doesn't know I know him   )

you mean debosky went to a university?

truth be told! eldee makes ridiculous comments most of the time. if big n pac resurrect today, they will still be over-relevant moving platinum units per album. they are the michael jackson of the rap industry. they shall always be ever-green. see eminem, after 10 years, after getting all the criticism in this world about his style, accent, drugs, kim, hailey, dry jokes, etc - he is still selling records. biggie n pac were known for their deep lyricism not because of half-nude hood-rats in their videos. the party-videos are the concept of puff daddy and suge knight. left to pac/biggie, a video of them spitting rhymes in a booth is enough for them to sell records.

debosky:
^^ better go look for your own 'mammy' to marry.

i swear, the boy is killing me with his ignorance.

cou-gar,
i bow 4  u ohhh, but tht is truth, i swwear with de last breath on my chest, i have nver felt diponted till de day i saw de  ways our 9ja men and women lives arrnd de world, hommie, most 9ja in greece lives under asylum seekers,turkey-drugs-uk,men-scams,women ashawo,italy same as uk,eastern europeans , nothing, just trying to c if dey go fit marry white mammy and get de pali, guy eno easy, no be only 9ja pple de dis forum, i been no wan open our yarnsh but i had to, safe .

this is epic!

debosky:
No dropping dead dude, just acknowledging all the contributors to this thread.

I will be back God willing in 2011 - recharged and reinvigorated.  

whatever you do, just win a trophy. recharged o, reinvigorated o, revitalized, re-energized o, just win a trophy!

debosky:
Valencia is not an average player - don't make that mistake.

As it is the end of the year, time to make amends.

I want to apologise to certain gunners, particularly Duduspace and proudly9ja for the heated discussions we've had in the past - we're all brothers and tend to disagree from time to time, but no hard feelings.


I'd like to pass on the same regards to A-40, ritchboy and anyone else I might have been acerbic with in my discussions - no harm intended.

Special recognition for Slimshady, eldee and Dr Kit - for their outstanding perspective and different viewpoints - more nights of sipping Iya Nasiru's shekpe in the new year.

We did have a very sad moment - the loss of the irreplaceable Bawomolo. We have mourned your departure and will not forget you. Rest well soldier.

To all the numerous gooners - you are wonderful. In spite of everything y'all are still here going strong. I salute you all. Tenhutt!!!

It's been an honour being a fellow poster with you all on the greatest fan thread the world has ever seen. We shall all meet again in the new year to reignite our passion for this great club.

Now for the 'rivals' or 'haters'. Kudos to DK for his consistency. . . .if i had a dime for everytime he said 'trophyless' I'd be a multibillionaire now. If you use half of the energy used to harass gooners to make money, you go throw big party for awon boiz in Texas in 2011.

For Ibime and Nateevs, chavs with sense (a clear anomaly amongst their general population) I've enjoyed your sparring and debates.

For Sharon in all his reincarnations, tkb419, ruudie, coded, chamokazzie, obeledu's emperor and all the other scummies y'all are a good sport - good natured ribbing at its best.

To the spuds like manmustwack (got it right ), didoflex and others - the rivalry never ends, we shall continue next year.

For chickenshrimp - get your own clubthread in order before coming to chat ish here - you try small sha.

Long live Arsenal, long live the Arsenal Fan Thread.

this is baffling - i hope you are not going to drop dead on us with this eulogy. i am scared o.

ummm , why are nigerians @ disporal "bold-faced liar", the truth is tht, if any nigerians makes in aborad it boils down to to these reason
first, drugs.
second,yahoo .
third,scam,
lastly,animalistic living (5-6 pple sharing 2bed room flats,eating twince aday,).
men! we should stop all dis lies and say truth to de pple bck home,not telling truth makes it hard 4 pple to understand tht abroad is not "bed of roses"
plz 9ja men, make we de patriotic cause "A man's country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle; and patriotism is loyalty to that principle"

this has to be the most brilliant, the most well researched and the most articulate piece i have ever read on a public forum. if you continue like this, you would win a nobel prize within the next 2 years.

Mr_TA:
SAF has killed me. This confirmation that we wont sign anyone when we obviously need atleast one or two is a joke. My expectations have certainly dropped.

your expectations dropped because of what saf said? he's a very shrewd business man. he will buy 2 players before 31st of january.

lagbaja20:
Are you serious?

never been more serious. that tool got into the uk this year to do his masters in one obscure village in england and yet he won't stop flapping his lips.
empty barrels make the loudest fart.

lagbaja20:
What a senseless post!

Cougar, what say you?

home is where you make it. i cannot categorically tell anyone to stay or move out of nigeria. i can only speak for myself.

dayokanu:
Following the trend of this argument, I can conclude that RVP, Fabregas, Arshavin, Chamakh etc are below average players as I cant see any reason a top player would be at a club that has never won the CL in history, Never mind being trophyless for half a decade

arsenal should win something this season. they must shut you up with this trophyless diss you dish out every time.

MOBO444:
@ Cou_gar and so called Mary J Blige, both of you are just nothing but cheap animals, I bet you have both never left Nigeria for any other country, the Internet have given you dogs freedom to roam and construct.

another tool walks in without any iota of wisdom in his empty head. just because your location reads england doesn't make it the truth. a tool like you could be posting from ojuelegba north local government. because you were lucky to be handed a students visa to come do your masters is the reason you have the effrontery to open your mouth unguarded. you are a disgrace to your entire community.

nateevs:
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3324488/Chelsea-snubbed-10m-Van-der-Vaart-deal.html


Anyone seen this? Me guess is Ibime was the advicer at the time this happened.
Because a player is not a mega star at one club doesn't mean he can't be at another.

Maybe that's why Arnesen is leaving. I heard we bought Ramires on Emenalo's recommendation when Carlo wanted Schwieni. His request was snubbed.


Roman must know now that they are all overrated.

if it's coming from the sun, the story is not credible. chelsea wouldn't have passed up the opportunity to sign van der vaart at 10m.

Ma_J_Blige:
LOL.
Look at the thinking of a human being. Sad.

you are so obtuse it ain't true. i am guessing your iq is lower than your shoe-size with the quality of your posts. you have backed down from the cost of galleria to houses in the uk. i can imagine an indolent homo-sapien like you going to galleria to admire the building and not caring about the quality of the products/services you get there. is it the building you are buying? what a louse!

I am thinking this one is not a Nigerian. or a "black british". or a JJC in the UK. You assume we havent stepped to where you are, gotten tired and left? Is it because you still have a cleaning job? LOL. For your information, I have houses and none of those things have ever happened, silly boy. Loud mouth for nothing. People who talk like you end up regretting their life.

of course, you have stepped up from burning candles/lantern in the night to rechargeable lamps. that is stepping up in your own deluded world. ghana(a neighbouring country) have celebrated 5 yrs of uninterrupted power supply and miss blige here has stepped up from kerosene lantern to rechargeable lamps. some countries do have em!

The houses you pay 200,000 pounds and more for in the UK,  - 50 million naira - how can you compare them to the same property that 50million naira will build you in Nigeria where your family can inherit same? So, you want to buy houses in the UK where none of your family will ever inherit it when you are gone? LOL.

haha so inheritance is your biggest issue. well, your thinking is still flawed. the onus is having a sterling quality of life not inheritance. according to united nations, you are not expected to live more than 47 yrs in nigeria so what has inheritance gotta do with it? build a house in nigeria and live there? the same country that killed that prominent ngerian rapper(da grin) at the age of 23 or was it 27? you are having a laugh!

As per living overtime- dont worry about that. You are trying to be God, but the devil your master is behind you, hoping to hack you down before the end of this year.

i did not compile the statistics. the united nations did and it's obvious they are telling the truth. everything in the country is upside down. robbers, cops, diseases, mosquitoes, pollution, no quality health care, bad roads, auto-accidents, religious clashes, corrupt government, etc. how won't people die early in that zone? you better hurry up before you end up in the belly of the beast. you are living on borrowed time as we speak. make hay while the sun blazes otherwise. . . . . .

Ma_J_Blige:
^^^^
I think it is obvious who the brainless one is. Read my post properly before ejacu, lating in your boxers.

The mortgages you pay thousands for in the UK, of which you cant even lay claim to own the balcony, the money you pay for a two bedroom flat which you cant even afford finishing to pay the mortgage, will build you a mansion down at home in Nigeria. Who is brainless? LOL

you are a stark illiterate! where would you rather own a house? in nigeria where armed robbers or land owners can turn up the next day and give you more grievance than a pit-bull possessed with demons or in the uk where there's security, constant electricity and pollution-free? i would rather be in the uk while i watch from a distance how people like you get slaughtered like sacrificial lambs by men of the underworld. continue building mansions in nigeria where the life expectancy is just 47 yrs. i am guessing you are about 30+ now, you have about 17 yrs more to live and if you are over 47 as we speak, you are living overtime - death can strike you down at anytime. what a pity! now who's brainless?

Ma_J_Blige:
How can a reasonable person compare one pound shops in the UK to Galleria/Palms? That is very naive and to say the least, myopic. The galleria cost multi million dollars to build, so is the palms, and others, yet you compare them to one pound shops in run down places like east ham, peckham etc. Who told you the shops at the palms/galleria are run by Lebanese? LOL. and who runs the one pound shops in the UK? Indians and Pakistanis. LOL. Maybe you clean the toilets of one of them. LOL.

this is where i think you are a tool. who's talking about the buildings? i am talking about the products sold in there and this is where people like you are hopelessly deluded. just because a building is worth $5 bn doesn't make the products sold there to be worth millions. nigerians are too gullible. the building matters to me not but the services rendered there. same goes as their housing developments. the buildings are attractive but there's no hot water running in the taps, no telephone service, no security and they are asking you to pay 50 million naira - are you people that brainless? i reiterate, the products sold in galleria are the same thing as the things you would find in any pound store across the united kingdom.

Ma_J_Blige:
You mention East Ham, run down, silly place and compare Palms/Galleria with one pound shops. You must be living in delusion.

i was talking about your over-celebrated galleria/palms. the things they sell there are not different from pound stores all across east ham, peckham, brixton and the likes. all those lebanese have managed to pull the wool over your eyes with dubai products and selling at exorbitant prices. if you think i am deluded then you are demented.

charles nzogbia is one of the best wingers in this league. at this point, he is miles better than walcott. he tore arsenal a new arsehole yesterday and he was easily the best player on the pitch at old trafford till his team-mates got sent off to ease united's burden. i wish sir alex signs him this january window to ease united's lack of width with js park in asian cup, valencia on the surgeon's table, nani dislocating his hip bone on a disco night and with giggs' old age.

RuuDie:
Sure would be glad to have Nani back & Baba should pls give Chicharito some starts, WBA would be a good game for this --- Rooney just isn't getting it right.

rooney is happy to create! he was the star of the show last season - let him serve berbatov this season.

HNIC:
@Coded
Let's both agree that both of them are Senile
Really unnecessary for Fergie to attack the ref in the way he did.
He should be blaming his wards
Whether na push, offside,handball etc. . Manure had chances to end the contest long before Birmingham's goal and  he should have made the  changes earlier.
Yesterday also,Arsenal had chances too bury Wigan but the attackers messed up the chances.
For once however, when AW was asked about the Nasri freekick, he said 'He didn't see it'

how is fergie senile? did his team play against 10 men like arsenal did? man utd had chances to end the contest just like they wasted so many chances against sunderland and still won. the chances we did not take does not make birmingham's goal legitimate. people keep saying fergie should have made some changes or fergie's lack of substitutions gave birmingham the opportunity to attack us and equalize. it's laughable!if an "opportunity" is defined as a hoof into the box from near the half-way line, followed by blatant cheating then i fail to see how any brilliant manager would have stopped this kind of "opportunity" from arising. birmingham certainly created f@ck all until the match officials had their brain farts.

debosky:
I just wanted to focus on your irrationality. I can accept Arshavin affecting defensive performances, but it is completely ridiculous to bring Chamakh into a defensive issue.

if chamakh had scored in the other end, wigan's 2nd goal wouldn't have been relevant. the advantage was with arsenal after nzogbia "walked", it wasn't just  the numerical advantage because nzogbia was the best player on the pitch. so chamakh is at fault for not doing his business on the other end of the pitch.

Rubbish yarns - the problems were DEFENSIVE so removing Chamakh would not have solved that. I daresay removing him would have made us weaker defensively as we know Chamakh clearly puts himself about in defensive positions

the problems weren't only defensive. it's the whole team. winning is about outscoring your opponents. if wigan scored 6 and arsenal scored 7(chamakh's responsibility), the three points would be in wenger's bag.

I pick out biased and unreasonable arguments and seek to crush them. Till you focus on the real faults in this team and remove your obvious bias, I will continually call you out.

you are biased. chamakh didn't make the numerical advantage count. i saw no pressing from the front like robin van persie did against chelsea. wigan defenders had so much time on their hands to build their attack from the back so how can you then say the problem was solely defensive?

invisible!:
You mean your home is hell? Sorry o.

nope, i mean your home is hell.

Nigerian employers he goats? Sharrap there! With very low IQ and poorly finished education, shabby, untrained girls flaunting skin around, they should be happy someone is ready to take them in after sampling their 'kini' so you could change their family destiny.

nigerian employers are animals.

HNIC:
It was used in a context.
The team put out yesterday was good enough to beat Wigan.
It was a stone cold penalty and it even allowed Fabregas to tweet about consistent refereeing pointing out his(Fab's) folly in using his hand to block a  freekick
Let's say we scored the penalty. . . .all of these won't even appear on this thread today

what if the penalty was saved? like gomes did drogba or sczersny/rooney?

ajibawealt:
@ 4ll3rbuntu, well said bro.

I will have to blame AW for this. I really faulted his selection and I fink he should’ve done better. Starting from the backline, I thought he should’ve rested Sagna for Eboue and not Clichy. What’s the point of keepin players that u knew that they can’t win nada. I’m expecting him to rest a maximum of 4 players.
It’s good to rest players but resting 8 of your best players to me doesn’t make any sense. He’s resting them cos of injury, what if they accidentally got injured in training? Then what happened, the purpose is defeated. This man can’t just be consistent.

the players sent out were still good enough to beat wigan. after nzogbia's madness, arsenal had the advantage but they sat deeper and deeper until wigan got their equalizer. resting 8 players didn't cost arsenal the game. the team that started against chelsea might have lost the game because of fatigue. arsenal lost there last season, they got a point this season - it's an improvement. three points ain't guaranteed anywhere in the league anymore.

lagbaja20:
Glo?
NSE?
MTN?

I know a friend of mine who makes 1 million naira per month with Glo, graduated from Upenn. So stop talking like there is something wrong with Nigerian owned business.

there's something wrong with it. your friend might have graduated from yale but if he didn't work while abroad, he wouldn't know how employees should be treated. if you compare the 2 situations, nigerian employers are a disgrace. don't they sexually-harass their female employees too? sleep with me if you want to work here!! randy goats they call employers.

lagbaja20:
Home will always be home.!

for other countries, home will always be home. for nigeria, home is hell.

The One:
On a general note, I see a lot of ignorance on nairaland especially from our kinsmen in diaspora. You can have a very good career in Nigeria with your integrity intact and not having to lick any bosses' backside, it just depends on the company you work for. There are a lot of companies with well laid-out structures designed to prevent nepotism and favoritism especially in appraisal and pay determination processes. Simply put, your direct boss does not determine your appraisal 100%. You have processes to fdeal with integrity issues that will keep the whistle-blower anonymous (for conflict of interest, corruption etc). Your pay is well laid-out and never comes in later than 24th of every month come rain or shine. Personally, over the last 5 years I've averaged about 20% pay increase per year. To summarise, investigate the particular company you are interested in and ask questions of insiders. That a good gauge, not what one anonymous person says on nairaland.

this is a lie. naija job market is about arse-licking. apart from the international organizations there, all the home-made companies are shyte! they treat their employees like animals. to get a 28-day vacation, one must almost bow down to his superiors. they make them work like trojan horses over pea-nuts cos they know if you quit, there are jobless folks out there who would fill in the role. i don't advise anyone who's spent several years in the diaspora to go back to naija and work in home-made companies. you will be massively shocked with the way employees are treated like scum.

duduspace:
Why yu dey chat like numbskull like dis now Hen Chamo?  even a lot of the Sky pundits who are normally critical of Arsenal are now saying we have the best 25 squad in the PL.
We made 8 changes but still had a lot of internationals and experienced players (some of who had won things in previous clubs) out there on the pitch or what poo exactly are you chatting? Manure made just 1 change and still drew at St. Andrews.

delusion of grandeur. sometimes i think mumuface is a spambot. the best 25 squad my ass!!! so because fergie made one change means arsenal have the best 25? so what does that make kusczack, o'shea, hernandez, scholes, fabio, park, nani, valencia(who didn't take part at st andrews). are they non-internationals? mumuface, sometimes i think you are brainless.

notcorrupt:
Hello fellow Nigerians.

Another patriot is about to take a leap into the abyss and return home from the UK

Two questions :

1. Do you think I am mad ? if yes state why

2. What are the possible challenges

3. For a good Job, how much is enough monthly, 2M million Naira a month ?


Your contributions will be appreciated.

just make sure you go there loaded. the first few weeks will be very tough. the cost of living in that part of the world is astronomical and the over-celebrated malls in palms/galleria are your normal one pound shops in east ham but the prices there compete with selfridges/ house of fraser. believe me, you will be pissed.

ritchboy:
United have won just one away game all season and are still top. . . Crazy season!

the fact that they haven't lost yet has compensated for the crazy number of draws. this season is odd - a senseless unbeaten run(unfamiliar), getting shafted by late goals(unfamiliar), berbatov's goal haul(very strange). i just hope blackpool win the league to complete the crazy season.

chamotex:
Yes we did throw it away . . . emphasis on 'at the end' and 'AGAIN'.
It's not the first time it's happening.

did we deserve more than a point in that game the way birmingham stopped us playing especially in the first half? it would have been very harsh on birmingham if we had taken all the three points with the way they stopped us functioning. i think a draw is a fair result.

tkb417:
@cougar
Who d fck is next?
Good to see Berbas workrate and mvts getting better for United! Good way to go. He shd nick at least 20goals

we go to west brom. give berba a good pass to his feet and he will do something tangible with it. 14 league goals(all from open play) before the new year makes berbatov the deadliest striker in the league. i am happy he's silenced his critics like dayokanu and co just like mario gomez has bedazzled his criticis in bundesliga. the fact remains when a team is built around any player - he will score goals. i hope we see anderson in that position next season. rooney has again been demoted to chasing ghosts on the flanks - he's no longer the arrow-head.

debosky:
Dancing kpalongo.

United's point dropping habit away continues. . . . .that serves Fergie right for playing for 1-0. Why didn't he bring on Chicharito till it was too late?

Points dropped is sweet music to my ears.

at least, they didn't lose the game. an epic fail was arsenal leading wigan 2-0 last season with 10 mins to go and end up losing 3-2. why didn't wenger bring on eduardo till it was too late? surely, eduardo's pace would have worried the wigan defence and vela's brilliance would have put wigan in their place cos the mexican is a sharp shooter.

united drew against a team who only lost at home once in 23 games!!! what a disgraceful display by fergie's boys.  still unbeaten, still playing sub-par when they should be eight points clear. i guess it doesn't say anything about the rest of the league that this crappy united side is topping the league with two games to spare, does it?
