coogar: valencia weren't in a worse situation than arsenal unless you are a nincompoop. valencia's net spend in 07/08 was €64m. they bought a single player(joaquin) €25m that same season. have arsenal ever managed to buy a player at €25m in their entire history? like i said.....you are a glorified simpleton!
Like I told you, I would oblige humanity and always school you in footballing matters

How much did Arsenal buy Jose Antonio Reyes?

coogar: who cares what valencia do in spain? this is why people think you reason with the sole of your feet. valencia last won la liga the same season arsenal did. when arsenal won it, they also had man utd, chelsea and liverpool spending more than them. then arsenal stopped spending around 2005 to build the emirates stadium, valencia continued to spend till 2008(they won copa del rey) and in your huge stupidity, you want me to compare arsenal and valencia?
I have told you that youre a footballing neophyte. Most posters here know that you post loads bar common sense

But this is a chart starring you in the face. When Arsenal last won the league, they had better net spend that All clubs except Chelsea The chart is there in front of you to see.
Arsenal still had positive net spends in 3 seasons. Valencia is even in a worse situation where by they had to sell all their top players cant even spend much in the last 3 seasons yet have sacked a coach for incompetence?

yet dayo's buffoonery continues.....
it was wenger that brought success to arsenal in the first place - why would the club suddenly forget what he's done with the limited funds they have provided for him? the bloke valencia sacked - did he win la liga, copa del rey and uefa cup for them as a manger? what's the basis for comparison between wenger that won titles for arsenal AND the ex-player turned manager whose biggest managerial job was assisting benitez in liverpool?
When they define tools in the dictionary your photo should be next to it. It was Wenger that brought success to Arsenal? Are you serious? Like Arsenal was in division 2 before they hired Wenger? A team that played back to back UEFA cup finals a team that won 10 league titles before then? So what has Wenger won for Arsenal that hasnt been achieved before by previous coaches? Never mind that no coach has stayed as long as Wenger

Once again I have shut the pro Torres camp with incontrovertible fact that Torres is useless. The least clear cut chance conversion among top strikers

Torres has the worst minute per goal of all the strikers compared, Tied for the least shot on target with Giroud, , Has the lowest shots off target (What we have been saying Torres is too timid to take shots) The worst min/per shots on targe

coogar: almost 24 hrs later and dayopkanu is yet to furnish us the net spend of valencia in the same season they won their last trophy? is this coincidence or dayokanu has been found out again for making demented comparisons to arsenal? debosky, shouldn't there be a puniushment(one week ban) for posters who make idiotic statements? please, let's make this section a better place by banning idiotic posters.
Has Valecia gone 7yrs trophyless? What was the net spend of Valencia when they won La Liga and UEFA cup? in 4 seasons Whats the net spend of Valencia?

Did that stop them from sacking their coach for poor performance?

You are a tool

Valencia has a positive net spend in 2008 thats why they won a trophy? Well the table below shows us Arsenal had positive net spends in 3 of the most recent seasons yet are trophyless.

[size=14pt] Oliver Kahn is unsure as to whether Pep Guardiola would be suited for the job as Bayern Munich coach due to his past at Barcelona.[/size]

The successful trainer is reportedly one of the candidates to replace Jupp Heynckes at the end of the 2012-13 campaign, but Kahn believes that the 41-year-old could struggle at the Bavarians if he were to join Bayern.

"Pep Guardiola is heavily influenced by Barcelona's footballing culture. He didn't just coach their first team and reserves, but also played there for 11 years during his active career. Not many clubs have such a strong own identity as Barcelona," Kahn wrote in his column for Bild.

"It could be difficult for him to adapt to life at another club such as Bayern with his strong ties to Barcelona's philosophy. I'm not only talking about the language barrier. Just remember what happened with Jurgen Klinsmann. The changes that he had planned didn't go down well with the club.

"If Bayern were to go after Guardiola, they will both have to compromise. Why not a transitional year with both Heynckes and Guardiola? With Heynckes working in the background helping to smooth things over as Guardiola instills his philosophy.

"Courageous decisions and fresh ideas are needed in order to guide Bayern into a new era and set new standards in Europe."

Guardiola is currently enjoying a one-year sabbatical after leaving Barcelona at the end of the 2011-12 campaign.

naptu2: Funny thing I heard about Professor Abimbola.

A guy who attended Ife told me that sometimes they would plan a massive aluta and call out the students for a major demonstration (Ife was well known for their culture of "activism" ).

Professor Abimbola would come out to address them, "My children, I've heard you very well, you can now return to your hostels", and they would all go back to their hostels.

Getting back to their hostel, it's like they've just awoken from a trance or from a hypnotic state, "What just happened?", "Why are we back here", would be the questions on everybody's lips.

coogar: you mean valencia are the second to the last team in spain in the last 7 yrs in net spend? you must be a fool! when was the last time valencia won a trophy and how much did they spend that season? since they stopped spending because of the huge debt - how many titles have they won?
Valencia has a net spend way inferior to other top teams in Spain Yet they havent gone 7yrs trophyless and they still sacked their coach for under performance

coogar: a week ago, torres has 4 goals - now he has 6
in that same week, some of the strikers on that list completed 90 mins and did not add to their goals tally - so you don't think the stats are misleading? compute the latest stats this week and get back to us!
So we can say at least from the stats available, AS AT 7 days ago Torres was the worst striker in the league. Agreed?

torres has added 2 goals more and he does not take set pieces...bar the pen on Saturday
van persie, ba, suarez, defoe take penalties on a regular - penalty/freekick are clear cut chances(i hope you are aware)!
Every stat that shows us Torres is dud is misleading Fellaini Michu dont take penalties do they?

The stats was taken as at a week ago.

These are for last season at the midway point

As you can see from this link Torres's strike rate is in the region of a washed Drogba,Anelka and another flop like Andy Carroll of this world. Even the much maligned Daniel Sturridge has double Torres's conversion rate. Out of 30 strikers or thereabout he is in the bottom 5[/quote]Look no further than this

Torres Michu and Suarez have the highest number of minutes and starts Yet Torres has the lowest clear cut chance conversion among those 3

This was Rooneys first goal yesterday. Was this a clear cut chance? Did he not have 2 defenders surrounding him before he created space to his right and got the shot away?

So, when the opportunity came for us to fight for that, the Igbo didn’t support us. [size=15pt]Immediately they were offered a juicy position by the northerners, they joined them. That was what happened after the election, instead of Azikiwe joining the UPN, he teamed up with the NPN. And these are the people you claim to have conducted a pogrom against you. Even Ojukwu himself, when he came back from exile, he joined NPN. Many people do not know that. And from my experience with Igbo people for over 60 years, there are very few Igbo that we in the West are ready to trust. Prominent Igbo, who should have joined in the fight to unite the East and the West to solve the inequality in the country, refused because they took advantage of the fact that the people in the North wooed them and gave them some inferior positions.[/size] Go put these points to the prominent Igbo, who were around at the time I’m talking about. The Igbo are their own fatal enemies. Igbo people were not massacred in the West. Even during the war, all the property of Igbo people was kept intact. But when the opportunity came for Igbo to rearrange the country, it was those who
Its called the Stockholm syndrome. the Igbos are now eternal slaves to their Hausa Lords.

muystoy: [size=14pt]Even before the war, in 1959, when the election was contested by the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons, the Action Group and the Northern People’s Party, Awolowo offered that he and Nnamdi Azikiwe should come together and that he preferred to serve under Azikiwe, as the Premier and he (Awolowo) as the Commissioner for Finance. He made that offer when there was no war. I want to refer to the publication of Micheal Okpara in the New Nation Magazine, where he said he regretted not supporting that move by Awolowo for a coalition between the NCNC and the Action Group. Nobody has refuted that.[/size]

Do you also think Achebe’s insinuation that Awolowo, as well as Yoruba, hated Igbo people?

odeotito: @andrew uweh, still don't see what's"imbecilic" about my post. I advice you to respond to the live issues I raised. Tell me just one positive contribution The Bearded One made to The Igbo Nation. He set back The Igbo Nation by many years and lived off them till his dying day!

He was a thoroughly bad example of a father, husband, leader and friend.

As a father, the children he sired will definitely come to a worse ruin were they to follow his ways.

As a husband, every woman he got involved he left bloodied (Bianca got hers at the will reading session!).

As a leader he ran away to cote d'Ivoire with his tail between his legs leaving the igbo nation to suffer. He used them as human shield to import weapons denying them much needed food supplies and led them by the nose with the spurious propaganda food aid was poisoned!

As a friend, he betrayed c.c. Onoh's trust by worming his way into his daughter's heart and making away with themisguided Bianca. Only a few igbo are bold enough to truthfully comment on this man!For me, he was not the quintessential igbo male- not enterprising but cowardly and opportunistic. So much for the lecherous old fox!
