used to like the smell of my fart until one day when i did it the car, driving alone and it was rainy. The nausea destabilized me, i nearly knocked a lady down.

I like the smell of new dunlop slippers grin, the one we used to wear in boarding school, there's also this bluish bar soap that's no more in the market. Had a wonderful smell

Diaby truly has exceptional talent but i fear that injuries won't allow us see the culmination of his abilities. I miss his great finishing in one-on-one situations,and those long legs he uses in a tackle

Kos is good enough for ANY first team. The fact that you don't rate him doesn't make him any less good.
We know the usual suspects whose presence have signified a drop in standards at Arsenal but Kos is certainly NOT one of them. Bar Vidic, Kompany and maybe TV5 there is only a realistic few CBs that have any braggings rights over Kos so your list of 20 defenders isn't reasonable.
Gibbs, TV5, Kos and Sagna is nearly as good as any defence in England.

Its really scandalous that DjorouKanu earns $50k per week, leaves me wondering how much a certain Koscielny earns.
As an aside, among Hannie's predictions is that Koscielny won't come good. Fast forward 2010–11,  Arsenal fans voted Laurent Koscielny as Arsène Wenger’s most effective signing and everyone is now seeing what talent we have in him

He would be a great addition for us i reckon, but its also as likely that he is a replacement for RvP and not exactly an addition.
The richer clubs will easily part with 25M for RvP's services and if we get Podo for around half that amount, I trust Wenger will let go RvP.
Hoping we acquire that game-changing midfield marshal we have missed all season.
Make Wenger just buy Eriksen from Ajax bone all these Gotze/Hazard paparazzi

U worry too much. Calm down, dear. You don't need to book and appointment. I actually called them earlier today and from what i gather, just bring ur charge fee and ur collated documents. I'll be there say 10 tomorrow myself.

@dipo+, the medicals went well. This is actually the 2nd time I'm applying. The 1st time I did, they returned it a week later saying I applied too late. So I got admission for summer session at my school n resubmitted on the 30th of january
Well, i had a May admission offer but i asked the school to shift it to september because i don't want the canadian office to say my admission came late. I just received my september offer by courier dis afternoon and even though sept it quite far, i'm OK that the canadian office will have all the time they can ever want.

the wisdom of nigerians on nairaland reflects the situation in nigeria. sometimes, i regret been a nigerian. a country where wickedness is the order of the day. most of us here cannot make self decisions but they think they can advise mikel.
mikel has made it in life. how many nigerians or africans have won the fa or premier league cups? history will not forget mikel if he decides to quit football today. with his savings, he if fit to go into quality businesses yet because some have access to free internet, they can afford to write thrash.
according to 2face Idibia, who God don bless, no one can cause.
Please see MAITEMA's response.
You are the one who lacks wisdom if you can't figure that we are expressing dissatisfaction of what was supposed to be a lustrous career for a player that had the talent to rule the world on the football field. Money is just one of many things that qualifies a person for happiness. Torres is definitely rich, but would trade all his weekly wages for success at the job
PoliticsRe: Suggestion To Nairaland Owner (seun Osewa) by dipo1: 7:45am On Feb 27, 2012
From what I have seen of the so-called Beta Nland, its does not at all look refreshing or amusing to me. It rather has a all too familiar look of other far-less visited forums and if Nlands outlook should be upgraded, it should be to something exciting - like Facebook did. Just imagine what would become of facebook if it suddenly looks like hi5.
So my suggestion, leave Nland as it is until u have a design that wins. The proposed Beta is a drawback IMO

Nice game today but i'm not thrilled yet. This current Arsenal team gives us one week bragging rights and several subsequent weeks of teeth gnashing, heart aches and bad temper. Let me see them qualify ahead of AC Milan and catch up with Tottenham, that's when i can rate them for the season.
You may as well rate them already cos qualifying ahead of AC is no more one of options. Catching up with the spurs is feasible though

The fact the Arshavin only recently moved and we come up with such an amazing win reminds me of a story recently reported about certain Arsenal first team players expressing disapproval over some player in the team (Arshavin, i bet). I hope his move away truly reflects on the long run with spirited performances like this as everybody seemed to be fully eager to perform.

Also I cannot but mention that we seem to play better without Ramshit. I have been drawing closer to this conclusion having seen games in which he didn't feature. The urgency at which we played today shows what we are capable of if players like Ramshit isn't there to slow down momentum.

Loads of credit to Rosicky who reminded us of what we saw before the evil injury that affected the quality of his game.

Walcott is looking good now and I think its the perfect time to cash in on him. Regardless of how many goals he scores, he has no football brain. He really got lucky today as his final touches weren't superb but at least he buried chances.

Kos literally killed Adebayor today. I'm so proud of him cos for me, he is one of the best CBs in the league

D Day has come. I hope we don't get humiliated today cos that'll really piss the fans present at the Emirates off. Spurs are meant to be beaten at the Emirates but we cannot say we have the team to earn that atm. Defence is strong in Gibbs/Kos/TV5/Sagna but with our poor midfield (Song looking out of form, Ramsey and Arteta not being so good) and attack being nearly a one-man thing.
Spurs look the likelier to carry the day with a stronger but its football and we are the Arsenal -
a team capable of anything imaginable.

Every footballer has his style of play. Steven 'G' plays long balls. Xavi plays short accurate passes. Mikel plays short back passes and provides covert for chelsea's back four He's the best passer of the ball in the epl so he's a good player if i may say afterall a dead Zidane is better than a living Gerrard who is so much respected. cool
Anybody can do that. He is a useless wimp

ritchboy:
For a transfer to go through, you need:

A. A club to show interest in the player and make a tangible offer.

B. The player agreeing to move to Turkey, Spain, Babylon or wherever for probably lesser wages.

This isn't FIFA manager where you transfer list a player and receive a dozen offers within 24 hours. Even people who have played Football Manager should know how difficult it can be to sell unwanted players. cheesy


I need more info on how much Djourou earns on his new contract and when his old one was due to expire before i can pass definite judgement.

OK, he isn't exactly a world beater but has shown some potential, just last season he was one of the best performing CBs in the league for a long period. Remember he's only a 4th/5th choice CB. He's one of those players fans love to hate so gets a lot more criticism than he deserves. If you take a minute to compare him with other 4th/5th choice CBs you'd realize you shouldn't hop on every internet-inspired player-hate band-wagon.
So if a poor performing player doesn't have any other clubs interested in him, its more logical to renew his contract than to let the contract run till its end. That's stwpid. No one is saying he should have been sold, the bone of contention here is whether renewing his contract is justifiable.

Djorou was never 'one of the best performing CBs in the league'. His purple patch last season was commendable only by Arsenal standards (TV5 was injured we had a very shaky looking defense).

Renewing his contract regardless of how much he earned or earns is a very indefensibly wrong decision as Djorou is worse than any other  4th/5th choice CBs in any of the top 4 teams.
