Do you mean "Beats by Dede"

Anyway, that's just a generic earbud. Any logo can be put on it...for example, JBL in some instances.

You may want to do a price research on the costs of Beats by Dre earbuds around

Hahaha���� is now 1-1 astonvilla will pummel manure in this match Manu will be eliminated from the FA Cup today.

Okay. Now you can edit to reality.

Great. Irrespective of any sinister plot (if at all it exists), this is a good move by LASG

In our society, you need to be very wealthy or be an elite member for your dreadlocks to pass as just a hairstyle.

For the average man out there, it's more likely to pass as a sign of irresponsibility.

Teachers fall into the latter category so it's a very dicey situation.

For me, I wouldn't prefer to consider it.

Everybody watch your side oo

Lastly, the organizers of this Afcon are serious jokers. Who organizes a tournament when most leagues are in the middle of their league season This is why nobody takes this Afcon seriously. They should change that rubbish January timing.

That's just it. Do I blame Watford? Who lets go an irreplaceable player in the middle of a potential relegation battle?

African players may suffer the most if these clubs are arm twisted into losing African assets in trying times. Because these clubs are the perfect launch pads for most of their careers.

Lekan239:
the world cup is going to be held during on league season too, I'm quite sure FIFA will create a month international break calendar for the competition.

FIFA conducts the world cup. They're also in charge of football worldwide. It's at their beck and call to do what they please.
EUROS is played during off season. Even the Nations League finals.
Euros is way more commercial and enticing than any other continental competition, yet it is played in off-season.
AFCON can't even measure up to any top flight club league.
It's sensible for them to gain premium viewership first, before they can earn the right to consideration ahead of club sides.
As it is today, any of the European top club match will have more viewership worldwide than any AFCON match on the same date and time.

ArchiLimited:
Because we didn't see any of this rubbish during the last Euros. What exactly is happening?

African competition is being disrespected. But then, why not June? It will even boost viewership.

I think you have too much time on your hands to go raging mad about people's personal ideologies.

That's another level of simping on its own when you really look at it. Something making you lose control of your basic self

See this Guy!

This is Exactly how Arsene Wenger got his Invincibles!
Henry, Wilford, Piresls, Ljumberg and Ashley Cole were just 21,22,23 yrs then..

The average age of the first eleven of the Invincibles was 27 years. Bar Ashley Cole and Kolo Toure, the rest were in their prime age, or past it.

I think you can swap names on NECO if the certificate isn't out already but it will cost you a lot. You probably have to ask your school to initiate the process on your behalf or travel to the headquarters in MINNA.

I don tire.

Vinnie2000:
Yeah, nice observation!

Arsenal's Young players are coming of Age@ a good time..Saka, ESR, Martinelli, Odegaard,etc..even dat Lokonga boy and Miles could become Top players!

For Chelsea, U Guys have a Bogus Squad! Players like Ziyech, Loftus Cheek, for instance should be sold.

For Man Utd, almost same thing! Too many Players or Forwards competing for only 3 striking places!

But this is a small club mentality. Can't just lay the future of a top club on emerging talents who could have their sights on playing in another club if they achieve stardom.
Plus having multiple players for each position is 't such a bad thing. It's rotating them and managing them effectively that counts.

Nah person God go use bless you.

But Kogba and Poco Lee no be God.

Money wey dem spray person, you wan from backyard kolopi am. No be same thing with those wey dey wear chewing gum for shoe thief money for party?

Maybe he was too hasty to soro soke.
I mean, Nigerians praised Poco Lee and Olamide for their generousity towards him. What happened to being prudently generous all the way?

What If Poco Lee wasn't being shady in the first place..would this issue have gotten to this level?

Nobody be God o. Someone can just decide to take up his matter and catapult him to a place it'll be very difficult to fall from.

OJEEMAH:
You don't judge a coach using this yardstick. What did Fergie win that Man united didn't have?? should we now downplay his success and contribution cos Man united had 7 or 8 leagues titles and a European Cup before he joined??

I can and I will. Ferguson won 13 PL titles. No manager of any club in English League history since time has up to half that number. So you can see his success isn't club-defined but a league legacy. And the first of that success came at 26 years since MUFC last tasted PL glory. This in no way defines Pep's arrival or stay at Man City as we speak.

EPL is a much stronger and tougher league compare to the days of Fergie. How many clubs could match the purchasing power of Man United as at then?? Even Arsenal couldn't match Man united financially. Arsene Wenger's tactical prowess was the major reason Arsenal could challenge Man united. The financial strength of Man united didn't start recently. In the past, they smashed numerous British records to sign players like Rooney, Ferdinand and even Roy Keane. So stop sounding like the league has always been tough and every club had money money to spend but couldn't challenge them. Fergie dominated because of the financial weakness of other clubs.[quote]Thank you for eventually admitting that financial muscles call the shots in the end, using Man United era of dominance as a case study. It's a surprise you repeated a contrasting

[quote]If its by staying close, Arsenal should have won the league. Do you even how many years Arsenal spent in the top 4 and how many times they came close to winning the league??

Between 1997 and 2005, Arsenal won the league three times out of nine. Even though they weren't successive, Arsenal never finished outside the top three.

What's your point exactly? You would have acknowledge his dominance and success if he had taken them from ground zero?? Do you remember City finished 4th the previous season and Guardiola had to overhaul and replace some underperforming and ageing players like Demichelis, Sinclair, Milner, Zabaleta, Sagna, Kompany, Clichy, Nasri, Navas, Boyate, kolarov, Joe Hart, Mangala, Fernando and Jovetic??

I wonder what the intention of the person comparing Ferguson's dominance to Pep's dominance when it is very clear, who successfully did the tougher work. I already clarified that the failure to justify the financial outlay led to the sack of the manager. Pep successfully justified his and is still justifying it. Man United also had aged players. But City had the bigger ambition and outspent them.

He scattered and built his own team. The Man City team that won 2 titles didn't dominate 70% of their matches and even the league but this present Man City team dominates 90% of their matches and have successfully won 3 league titles dominating games. You can beat them but definitely can't outplay them.
Only a brilliant coach can make it happen.

By dominate, I think you mean possession? Lol. So tiki taka is now a judge of the better manager. How myopic. Man Utd side won 13 PLs without tiki taka. Go figure.

What do you mean it was never matched?? The difference between Man United and City's expenditure is less than 100 million. Man City can justify their investment but Man united can't. Don't you see the difference is the coach and not the purchasing power??

Man City outspent everyone since the Sheikh took over. And they did that to get up there and stay there. It's that simple.

Nobody is disputing the fact that other managers have done well. The point is City's dominance is as a result of Pep's tactical prowess. Attributing their dominance to finance does not hold water cos Man united, Chelsea and even Liverpool can spend as much as Pep's City.

Remove the finance and tell me what you see.

Tooreda:
Players were not overpriced in Fergie's era. Besides, Fergie won as many games due to poor officiating. Pep na correct coach.

Downplay the Sheikh's pockets all you want, but don't forget there were richer clubs in the PL too, even before the advent of Man City's most recent owners. Man City have outspent and are outspending all PL clubs under the Sheikh; player overpriced or not.

If Man Utd's successes were due to poor officiating, were the players claiming outrageous best players positions and awards time after time also due to 'poor officiating'?

There was a question I put out in that series which you avoided answering. What stunning PL achievements had not existed before Pep came in?

Winning 4 out of 5 PLs isn't new to PL. It has been done before. Most recently, Three different times by Ferguson. by the same manager. The same Ferguson he is being 'casually compared to'. Stop throwing dominance around. We have lived through dominance.

Is it surprising that they did it? Of course not. They've always been close to winning, even in the years they didn't win it. All teams who have managed back-to-back wins have that in common. They've always remained in the top 3 consistently.

In the first six years under the Sheikh, before Pep, the only time Man City finished outside the top 3 was the season before he was brought in. Before then, they always finished in the top 3, winning 2 out of 5 PLs. In 5 seasons under Pep, they've won 3 out of 5 PLs, remaining in the Top 3 all the while. Man City are more formidable now, but they weren't from ground zero unlike a number of sides who eventually won the PL.

The purchasing power can be matched, but it was never matched and Man City certainly have the goods to show for it. It's a lesson for other clubs to pick up their recruitment to get where they want to be. Arsenal don't really spend as they should, and you can't even compare them to Chelsea, whose consistent successes started way way late than Arsenal's.

In Man United's defence, you could take a stroll through their spending a decade before the Sheikh and you'ld see that it has been low compared to the successes they've had. It's what they are paying for until date as they players were allowed to age and burn out to create a new template for the new boss, without the consistent recruitment to go with it. That's a club's poor decision making. In others' favour.

I do not like to talk down Pep so. What he has done is amazing, in just 5 years of being here but come on, this is the PL, where a number of sides, Man City inclusive, have tasted enviable success along the way. It's not a two-way horse or worse. There have been many managers who have done clearly astounding feats in their own rights. There are many clubs who could take their claims to the title. The standards are a bit higher here. The pockets are deep too.

The first screenshot is the top spending club on player transfers from when the Sheikh came in, before Pep came in. Man City were top spenders.

The second screenshot is the top spending club from when Pep took over until date. Man City are still top spenders.

Man City is a formidable side now and the consistent spending plays a big role in it.

Pep Guardiola is one of the greats in football. But Man City transformation began and is sustained by the Sheikh's pockets.

What trophy had Man City not won before Pep came in that they have now? What stunning PL achievements had not existed before Pep came in? By what modality is this dominance word being used? It's not like he picked Man City from the gutters.

I think you should.
