Onome Ebi?
She fits the narrative to me. 38-40 age fits. She may not be exactly 38 too.

I think Asisa should be left out of the Falcons for now. That was too crass of her in my opinion. Why insult Onome a fellow team mate. Even someone who had been in the team before her. Recall there was a video during the last WC where she almost fought with another team member. Yes she might be the greatest female footballer from Nigeria or even Africa but sometimes "best" players can be excused, for example Cantona, Benzema (before his last recall), Ziyech etc.
Right now, the team is not that talented enough to exclude her. If she was in the days of akide, maybe this would be a good idea. Although, i see valid angle to this, i just don't think it would make things better for the team off and on the pitch. Factions has been existing way before she even went for her 2nd Wafcon. Women tinz.


Besides they fight too in camp. Bo be only her o.


Rumors have it that Ebi is the team snitch. Its a strong rumor. What a time

Xhaka flop, we call him out
Same for Laca and Cedric and Nuno. E reach Odegaard and Partey you want to make it look like they weren't a big part of that problem?


Anyways, that asides, we are in a prime position of the season where the GD is going to be a painful decider of last minute scenarios, and as such we should be trying all to step up in that aspect. We have two games before Chelsea to do just that. We need those numbers. We really do. Conte has already taken up the reins vos he knows whats ahead in terms of fixtures. 15 to 10.... Same Points.

If na Defenders we go score most, no p.


Formation wise, Arteta will have to depend fully on 3man defence till Yasu comes back. Xhaka is a big aspect of our middle this season. The Commentator affirmed that ESR didn't know his position and place to play when Xhaka took LB and ESR took Xhaka position. Arteta had to shout from the Sidelines but it was not working. Thus Lokonga.


Seems this is where Elneny comes in, im afraid.

I think he believes he's own hype.

Keshi and Amodu are in a class of their own when it comes to local coaches.

Let him take up a job in a different country, instead of waiting to pounce on vacancies in Nigeria. Amuneke and Oliseh have worked outside Nigeria with some measure of success. He should do same.
They didn't talk this much.

I thought war bids would be flying around for world best IGHALO considering the clueless and yes-sir man EGUAVOEN and his crew didn’t consider AWONIYI worthy of a place in their ill-fated WC playoff squad.

Imagine the the serial failure of a coach not having the balls to feature WORLD BEST IGHALO over two legs. Who does that??

As soon as Ighalo was subbed in that match, I knew it was over.

Cc Mahmud Shuaibu
Chris stop making look like Ighalo is the problem. See how all of them were playing like some 3rd leg exist somewhere. Only Leon and Victor played with urgency and it pained them the most. Is Ighalo the problem? See how ordinary Dennis looked too. Cos no symmetry among these guys. undecided

Just chill, he will leave the farmer's league and get a shot at cementing a place at Arsenal backline. When that time comes we will revisit this discussion.

I agree with Mostob

Coaching is the palava

14managers in how many years!!

Okay if the players from local league start coming back to NT, who will make all of them click? Or it's going to be another packing of individual talents without cohesion, philosophy and team play?

One annoying thing is those shouting for local players have been doing so since 2004 yet they can't even add one inch to making that idea become reality. Meaning we are still going to be stuck with problems.


Before Npfl can recover enough to be a blueprint for the NT, the next president of Nigeria would have finished his tenure. Can we wait that long? Na to just tell everybody to forget football and maybe Start watching Israel Adesanya and Usman.

See Amokachi's myopic statements? Inferring that the SE is a dumping ground that would give them star status.
To see coach to even make that come true join, na Wahala.

The obsession with fire brigade approach has to stop. We only want to keep qualifying, but 1500% on luck since 2013. Soon the qualifiers would start evading us if we don't go back to the drawing board and adapt as other national teams are with the modern game.

ESR can't play Xhaka's role. E no easy.


I think Partey and Odegaard are not in this game. Both given out most error passes from both teams combined already and it's barely 60mins.

Christianity EtcRe: What Does The Trinity Signifies? by daveP(m): 10:56am On Apr 03, 2022
Jesus, Standing by his Father side while He was creating all that ever existed.


The Spirit, down here, surveying the ruins of Lucifer's Earth, hovering over the face of the deep.


Three in One.


These are obvious in the Bible. But confused lots don't want to believe in it. Their own cup of chilled water.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Christians Not Observe Fasting As Muslims Do by daveP(m): 10:53am On Apr 03, 2022
First, Christians fast more than Muslims, but as scriptures said, people must not know they are even fasting, cos the Pharisees did this. They were hypocrites. Some Christians are currently on 70days. Some 90 days. You can't even know unless they say it. No fuss about it all over.

Secondly, in the Holy Bible, again, God said observing fasts had become so routinous, yet his people were far from him and sinful despite all the fasting.

Finally, Jesus Christ emphasized the heart over any religious routine. This is seen in the story of the Publican vs The Pharisees.

The heart is more important. If the heart is right with God, and that fellow doesn't fast, there is no problem at all.

The demoniacs fast as well. The occultics and mediums, spiritists too. It is an exercise to focus the mind on the spiritual level. It however is not the only way to do such.

You guys took a gamble already with a dinosaur in Egauvoen and una still dey here. That was the first mistake made after sacking Rohr.
Abeg make we complete this sentence properly.


It's why I kept using the Buhari/Osinbajo parallel since that loss and I'll use it again.


You guys includes You


Point of corrections

Dinosaurs yes!!!
And that includes EA!!!
Don't minus his name abeg.

He too na Dinosaur. He was there throughout every piece of tactical deliberation, unlike Osinbajo that was allegedly locked out on some occasions.


So while 'we' took a gamble with AE, it's you that want to take a shadow gamble with EA.


Dinosaurs abeg!! Let's leave it that way.

I don't agree with you.

Over two legs we struggled to score with our superior strike force and Midfield.

I watched Mohammed Kudus of Ajax turn is inside out.

On the day the Ghanaian Midfield was more inventive than ours , Mohammed Kudus in particular stood out.

It's no use crying over spilled milk, we defeated ourselves we did not prepare strategically and lacked cohesion.

One thing that is baffling Awoniyi didn't get invited but Sadiq did Bundesliga Vs Segunda Division.
There was nothing superior about their midfield on both legs. They didn't even plan to frustrate like the Tunisian did at Afcon. It was just speed and belle face plus expecting mistakes.

Firstly it's Amunike or Amuneke NOT Aminuke.

And you, what did you learn? What tactical solution did you profer to our persisting Midfield problem?? Point me to just one.

Amunike pops up because he has the tactical acumen to address our tactical deficiencies as a team but how would you know that when you were also among those who stood by the idiotic and myopic stance of "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" when I pointed out that our MF problem persisted even after our 1-0 win over Egypt.

Abeg... if you don't have a substantive discussion to make, no dey hide under cheap and empty statements like "una no dey learn" backed by nothing but vibes and inshallah.
Unless you're saying AE put hot loafs in his throat throughout their bromance with this team, then I can't take it as you say it. I don't want to believe he was stifled from expressing this acumen in the games they handled together. Give take, benefit of doubt on this is 20-80.
We don Taya. For all we know, this is just going to be another gamble. Are we ready for it?


Cos if he fails we all will refer to his time with AE and talk of handwriting on ogiri.

Maybe Klopp is his own Idol Sha. AE say Guardiola Asif all of us no dey watch him week in week out.


With the way things are right now, I doubt his name will be in the mix for the job.

We all know it's not the same as Senior level, even if he knows 900% of the boys from that year. We need someone to come instill a system and plug up this setpieces deficiency, and have great knowledge of how to use subs to make or mar a game.
