Na that strength and defensive qualities dey make me wail cos nobody dey doubt him technical aspect.
He's even old now, so the speed won't be there too.

To have Xhaka and Odegaard with Jorginho at the base deh fear me.

Shey Arteta don miss the old Xhaka wey dey collect red cards ni?
Xhaka was slow, Even Zinch was Slow, but Partey was fast enough to stop Antony that night. Something Jorg can never ever do till season ends. I don't like the sound of this. I don't even see Jorg as a CDM atall. He never fits into the dirty work midfielder even if he has interceptions. Tackling and blocks, recoveries are not his forte atall. Unless the idea is to let Xhaka sit back, which i don't see happening.


Miss buy to me!!😒😒

He doesn't have the strength for the defensive aspect like Partey. He is technical truly, but i don't fancy him cos of how it will be with Xhaka and Odegaard with him in the middle. This one is a No for me. I said it here.


Meanwhile, loan to Palace for Lokonga is coming through. Nice!!

If Nff miss it twice with afcon looming, they should just goan hide, pack up and cease to exist. You can't miss WC and then have another bad afcon outing back to back. The resources available should be enough motivation to start planning for even the smallest of hindrances like bonuses and the likes. Put these guys on premium subscription for good feeling.

In a 3-0 decision on Thursday, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said Samson Siasia did not show why a trial court in New York had jurisdiction over his case.

FIFA had in 2019 imposed the life time ban, saying Siasia violated its code of ethics over a bribery scheme for Australian matches. The ban prevented Siasia from using his U.S. Soccer Federation coaching license.

Siasia, an Atlanta resident and former Nigeria striker, sued FIFA in August 2021, saying the evidence was "grossly insufficient" and that the ban violated his due process rights under the U.S. Constitution.

But the appeals court said Siasia did not show that FIFA was "essentially at home" in New York, or agreed to be sued there because it banned his use of what Siasia called his "New York" coaching license from its alleged New York "agent," U.S. Soccer.

The unsigned decision upheld a Manhattan trial judge's Oct. 2021 dismissal of Siasia's lawsuit.

Siasia's lawyer Nitor Egbarin said the decision might be the "end of the road" for the case, but he would discuss it with his client.

FIFA has said Siasia's claims were meritless.

The soccer body is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, and had banned Siasia under Swiss law.

In June 2021, the Court of Arbitration for Sport shortened the ban, calling it too severe for a first offense.

EducationRe: 75% Nigerian Children Can’t Read, Solve Maths – UNICEF by daveP(m): 9:23am On Jan 25, 2023
Not sure about 75, but it is above 59%


Corpers posted to schools are the ones that know this.


Millions of kids in jss can't even write the lord's prayer despite being in orthodox church schools.


Many cant spell despite having a good English tutor in the school.
Some don't even have a qualified English teacher. Their parents aren't helping by downplaying the importance of learning the language at home. Constructing compound sentences is such a Herculean task, down to usage of tenses.

Give them comprehension passages and watch wonders worse than anything.


As for maths, Bodmas is an impossible situation for junior wassce students. Many even disappear from the class when the class is ongoing, especially those in public schools.


Infact, i think it's worse for the maths than for the English part. 10/10 with assignment wey na mumc do when pikin dey sleep.

Corpers dey see shege for schools.

The lack of concern is spreading as 'no be my papa language' plus. 'wetin i wan use maths do? Dangote study maths?'

So yes, it is very high for that age group. Very!!

nah the circumstances are quite different. Spain is a powerhouse in world football. They have enough clout to use underage football to cap a player as opposed to sacrificing one squad member in the national team. Remember that eze has times without numbers honoured england u21 call up over a super eagle invite. we just don't have the clout to do stuffs like them. Our only selling point is to make Dem feel big else they are not playing for us. It's sad stuff but thats the situation.
Is it really about powerhouse? If it about that then Bacjetic would have chosen spain over serbia by now. But it is spain that is running upandan. We probably might be overflogging the powerhouse thing.

If it is powerhouse, it should be England and France that Olise should be choosing by now.

The stats I posted showed how Iheanacho made good use of his time. Not you trying to throw some amateur readings that try to equate 10 minutes to 90 minutes. Then you try to claim you are a pro, when you do not even know a player needs a healthy run of games to prove himself.

Stop trying to sell yourself as some professional because you really demonstrate the opposite. You are seeing minutes to goals/Assists ratio and you are trying to discredit it.

Like who do you think we are, some amateurs that know nothing about football?

That crap you are pushing won't sell. The stats with what Iheanacho has done with his time is clear for even an amateur. Just see what you are posting. You are posting an incomprehensive stat and trying to run with it.

Keep that amateur analysis for your fans.

Spain don't want Bajcetic to choose Serbia. So they offered a juicer plan to lure him. Instead of u19 squad, he gets u21 spot.


Almighty Spain.


Anyway, playing for Liverpool already made that big difference. But highlight is what Spain is doing to get him.

One thing i hate hearing in our sport circles is this foolish statement

Let him/her wait for their time. It will come.


This line is used for the teenage ballers, M/F, for intro to senior team mostly. It is a clownish statement that no sensible sport identity in Nigeria should be using in anything, anywhere, at anytime


Irony is that time gangan, where is it that you delay them cos of some stupid belief?

A teenager with super talent to take on the big stage already should suddenly "protected" from the big stage cos "stage is too big for them" or whatever.


Very nonsense talk to me cos the Europeans don't even say it. If they say it at all, there is a high dedication and investment ongoing behind the scenes for development to match the big stage, at club or at country.


What do these coaches even add to players like that aside cones and stretching? I discovered its the ones that are technically inept that say that statement the most. Aspa seniority in the team, forgetting that one of the ways to make senior players step up regardless of experience, is to watch their backs even if they are in the form of their lives. It's even supposed to inspire the younger ones when they realize they are in competition with the seniormen. But No!!

Suddenly 30 clocks and a long unfortunate list of injuries and one feels less like a footballer that left a mark cos they were denied early starts.

A 22yo FW in GWG supposed to have the confidence and self believe of dem Obagoal, Emenike, Osaze(females too) at present.


I can imagine telling Bukayo Saka and Bellingham, Rashford, that they should wait for their time. Yeah the dynamics are different but see them already on double figures for country.

When will this mentality be buried with the past?

We actually signed Calvin Ramsay in the summer to back up Trent..But he is injured..
Milner is an utility player..it isn't only Trent he plays back up to..
Lemme add that he is a valuable asset too...But the fact that he is still playing at that age is mostly down to Klopp recommendations...It's likely he join the coaching staff upon retirement
Sure he is playing cos of that injury, but Klopp settling down to recommend him says alot about his ability to deliver at that age. That's my angle. Firmino is there too but isn't even playing.
