Are they all 'religious thrillers' then?

And yes I do like reading

I have only read Da vinci Code.

Definitely not reading another of his books in a hurry.

Hullabaloo about nothing

It is perhaps because of this so clear vitality ebos that I wonder why you guys keep getting yourself worked up.

Igbos have proved very enterprising despite shall we say trying circumstances.

Igbos have not had a President, but it never stopped them forging ahead.

A Yoruba man became President, hardly anything it did for me and majority of my tribe.

I know it is meant to give me some pride but it doesn't. All it has given me is the hassle of people telling me my tribesman was responsible for messing up the country for eight years.

What we need is a decentralised system that will allow each part of the country to address its problems based on the resources it can muster, whether human or material.

And enuff already about the perils of war. Those who have a right to gripe are the dead ones. Unfortunately they cannot so you guys shut up already.

If alves does go to Chelsea. Their squad becomes a lot less lopsided.

IF Paulo Ferreira had turned out the way he was supposed to their attacking game would have benefited greatly hitherto

Mourinho's teams can get narrow sometimes, so there is a heavy stress on the left and right backs to provide width.

With Ashley Cole and Alves. It gets interesting
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Manchester United Fan thread: Forever Reds by doyin13(m): 3:53pm On Aug 08, 2007
Jackal does have a point. Man U do have the best squad in the premiership at the moment.

This will only change if the acquisitions made by Chelsea last season come thru(Sheva and Ballack)

Whether you fail to win with a franchise player on board is not the issue.

The issue is, irrational as it is, Sports of any kind seem to always get reduced to little nuggets of time, where it seems the results of the game are at stake.

It is at this crunch time that teams expect their 'franchise players to step up, and many players often come up with the goods either by assisting or scoring.
They are often accorded special attention because they pose a threat.

Think of these instances-

Gerrard scoring against Olympiakos in the C/League

Beckham providing great setpieces to win the C/League final

And my all time greatest soccer performance- Rivaldo coming up with the hatrick to secure C/league qualification for Barca

I am afraid I don't see anybody at Arsenal that has the same capacity for such an accomplishment.

To counter, what you could do is name me a team which has won anything without such a player.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Manchester United Fan thread: Forever Reds by doyin13(m): 1:53pm On Aug 08, 2007
Well I wouldn't say he is necessarily pro french.

I would echo Fergusson's views on this, that Wenger has simply exploited his intimate knowledge of French football.

But Jackal you must admit that they are less conspicuous at Arsenal than in the past.

Benitez has also used his knowledge of spanish football, but far less successfully I would suggest.

Well that is not all over for the franchise analysis.

How can you forget Peyton Manning of the Colts, the highest paid, record breaking quarterback.

If he is not a franchise player, then the phrase loses all relevance

Hello belligerent folks,

I want to hear your viewpoint on the abscence of the Biafra war in our curriculum.

I thought it disgraceful once, but after the divisiveness which it has raised in this forum, i am beginning to see the wisdom in the idea.

What do you guys think?

This is so much jokes.

I have lived in England for almost a decade now and I have never met any Englishman or woman argue over the ins and outs of their language.

On Nairaland it seems a daily occurence.

@Jackal

As a serial Man U hater, I was scared about the prospects for the season.

But after the Charity shield, I am at ease.

With a threat upfront, Chelsea would have caused more problems to go with their possession on Sunday.

@Loyika

Arsenal on the other hand still look lightweight. They need a go to guy, someone of stature. In America they call that the 'franchise player'.

It seems everyone is looking to RVP TO STEP UP. Only time will tell I guess

I am glad he was able to do it in front of his home fans.

As per his image, it is obvious that white ppl dont like him becos he has this attitude problem, and doesn't present the clea cut image of say a Ken Griffey Jr.

They still pefer us to be docile, smiley minstrel niggers.

But when a white sportsman displays the same attitude, he is extolled as some anti hero 'hero' (if you get my drift)

Even if Fashola did not expressly give the orders, should we not take his silence as tacit consent.

Besides he is meant to be in the know abt the gros unconstitutionality of these arrests, as he is a SAN and all.

@ono

I don't know why you guys always stoop down to the level of tribalism when it comes to discussing these matters.

So what if Asari is released and Uwazuiruike is still in prison.

Is it meant to be some sort of badge of credit because the released man happens to come from your neck of da woods.

It is quite likely that one of the bullets of these militants that you so extol puts you in grave danger, and quite ironic that a Yoruba or Ibo doctor be the one that saves you.
