@Sagamite

I wonder what u mean by saying the likes of Rabiu excelled against 16 yr olds . . .ok if u feel so WHY DONT U PLAY THEM AGAINST THEIR MATES ? We all know there is age cheating malaise in our system,but do we allow these boys to waste whilst we have not yet corrected the system ?

The best thing in this instance is to promote the boys to the next level, camp them for the neccessary synergy to be achieved, then u can claim to have a team . . .without that we keep groping in the dark !

but before then, AMODU has done little to advance the cause of the HB . . .is that gud enuff ? he feels there are no good enuff players to make the SE team . . .are u kidding me ? why doesnt he tell them to just stop wasting money on the NPL or why exactly is the NFF/NFL looking for corporate sponsors for the league ?

Yet again u asked . . .whether I knew/predicted Adeleye and Olufemi will make the team . . .no be rocket science, those boys are Siasia boys and they have a tendency of outshing other older boys in the tourney, when that happens ALL PEOPLE WILL SAY IS; SIASIA IS THE BEST, HE WAS THE ONE THAT DISCOVERED THESE BOYS BLA BLA . . .part of why this debate is this elongated is because OF A CERTAIN SIASIA . . .do we agree on that ?

Goodwill is the operative keyword here . . .Amodu has the positive aura more in quantum than Siasia but Siasia has more goodwill than any Nigerian coach  

BTW . . .Yusuff and Olufemi ? who are those ? GIVE ME A FIT CHIDI ODIAH anyday !!!

Time to break my silence . . .

sincerely, I am a very confused man in all of these . . .reason ?

Amodu is not a coach that comes with all that kind of flair but THEN the results he musters/ or he is fortunate with speaks for him . . . .

still . . .against what kind of opposition are these results gotten ?

no . . .better put - like someone asked do we expect to play Brazil in the African qualifiers ?


BACK TO REALITY :

I am one that doesnt give a hoot about criticizing any bagger as far as what we are talking about is that the results must be there to show for the person's efforts . . .BUT UNFORTUNATELY AMODU ISNT CUTTING THE PICTURE OF WHAT WE NEED TO SPEARHEAD OUR FOOTIE OUT OF THE DOLDRUMS !!!

I have grown tired of hearing that our players are average . . .we dont need Pastor Adeboye nor TB Joshua to impress that on us . . .but then for how long do we expect to have a set of players that are effing predictable on our team sheet ?

One could easily predict our team list, who will make it and who wont, as against previous CAN team lists, I stand to be corrected . . .

whatever happened to open camping ?

whatever happened to at least allowing at least 1 or 2 home based players go to the tourney ?

whatever happened to playing proper friendlies shortly before the competition proper rather than some obscure Durbanese teams 

whatever happened to our suddenly having too many DMs in the team when a certain Rabiu Ibrahim and/or Ajilore should have made that team,

whatever happened to the discovery of gems waiting to be unearthed like Rabiu Ibrahim, Azeez, Nwankwo Obiora, Okoro of the u-17 and u-21 teams . . .do we have to allow them waste the way we are allowing Chrisanthus and Akinsola waste now ? 

whatever happened to Amodu turning its back on the home-based players considering thats the platform on which he became who he is today ?

BUT THEN . . .

In footie, there is something called AURA, which I cant but admit Amodu has the winning type and I wont advise we do away with that kind of person . . .

[bPERSONALLY I PREFER FOR THE WORLD CUP, A TECHNICAL ADVISER COMES IN AND AMODU RETAINS HIS JOB AS CHIEF COACH, ANSWERABLE TO THE TINKERMAN [/b] . . .

We can only achieve the desired results when we have a scenario to what we had when Westerhof and Bonfrere rigmarole their way to the Presidency and brushed aside the NFA chieftains . . .this really helped our footie !

We can only achieve the desired results when a coach well known for his disciplinarian stance, tough I hope, is hired to lead us to the WC . . .then our players would sit up, get to the job AND MAKE SURE THEY DONT GO TO SA IN DESPERATENESS TO SCORE WITH THE FEMININE TOTOSHIP  yes those boys are too loose when its about women !!! 

but seriously : how fit are our players ?a few of them are injured, yet we take them along THAT TO ME IS CRAZY !!! 

another fundamental thing is ; how come Amodu is targeting a SEMI-FINAL FINISH . . .How did we regress his badly ?

I mean . . .How can a right-thinking coach tell the whole world that he is paid just to go and get a 1/4 place in a competition that he is taking the same number of players like his fellow gaffers ?

HOW CAN THE BLOODY COACH OF THE GIANT OF AFRICA _{football and otherwise} SAY HIS TARGET IS A SEMI-FINAL FINISH AT THE NATIONS CUP ?

can we quietly ask him what his target for the WC would be ? maybe a respectable 3rd place with a not-too-alarming goals against margin ? 

or does he need TB Joshua to tell him that again ?   

na by force

OK I Mr U !!!

shame to u

@Morenike Alagolo

I surely dont miss u . . .

@Morenike Alagolo

me form for u ? say who die ?

if I dey MISS u . . .who go come MRS u ?

@FL Gators

atimes u get me disappointed with u !!!

what kinda convo is this

no wonder they ignored her . . .troublemaker !

PLS STAY OFF FL GATORS !!!

@Kay

The logic is that; the difference between the smaller teams and the big teams have considerably reduced, 2 season ago the total number of points Southampton had in getting relegated is less than Portsmouth has now . . .what does that tell u ? The big teams have surely let down and the smaller teams have stepped up . . .u can imagine if we had gone ahead and won certain matches like that of Burnley and Sunderland - what would u make of that ??

but that said, someone said we shouldnt be too fast in talking off Vela and that he is Mexico's main man, and so ? isnt Bendtner the mega man of Denmark ? Senderos and Djorou the main dons of the Swiss ? let each man prove himself worthy in his club !!!

Wilshere sure needs to be spoken to, one can only hope he doesnt get to be injured with the way he plays . . .why almost always play urself into dangerous positions where help might never come from ? if he gets injured his talent might never come to fruition  

Rodallega is by far better than Bent . , who is hell-bent on bringing Bent a rep of the yids to Arsenal ?  

. . . am surprised that y'all including Debosky think Myles Palmer is a doofus, me thunk I was the only one that saw him as such  

@Slim

U have forced me to notice u . . .now let me scribble something to at least clamour for my peace cos ordinarily I am trying to get accustomed to certain names and their arguments, players they campaign for a la Dudu_Diaby, Venom ?   BTW . . .

I dont give credit for mediocrity !     The boys had along the line messed up, they picked up again and it tallies with the very notoriously bad form/bad play of the Big Boys in the league . . .is any one disputing that ? WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT, THE RESULTS THAT HAVE GONE OUR WAY OF RECENT COULD EASILY HAVE ENDED UP NOT TOO SWEETENING IF OUR RIVALS HAD DONE THEIR OWN DUE DILIGENCE !!!

OK . . .in that, we can now say KUDOS BOYS U KEPT UR HEAD UP, WHEN OTHERS WERE BLOODIED . . .but are we supposed to be reveling in the malaise of other teams or rather[b] OUR BOYS SHOULD BLOODY WELL GET THE JOB DONE, GAME AFTER GAME HELLO ?   [/b]

I said what I said when I said it, and I am still saying that if we continue the way we started the season WE WONT WIN THE EPL . . .dont start getting hysterical about the fact that we are very close now, ITS NOT ABOUT STARTING A RACE, ITS ABOUT FINISHING IT !!!

Check it out ;

The present crop of players are made to rotate themselves based on injuries . . .

our strikers havent been scoring consistently OH I GUESS EDUARDO IS NOW BACK TO HIS BEST , eh ?

The absence of Song and the effect twould have on the team will be phenomenal . . .is AW ready to buy a DM like PV . . .we all know the answers now !

WG has been playing with injury . . . .am sure a lot of people will dispute this, BUT AM DEFINITELY NOT WATCHING THESE MATCHES ON A B/W TV  
u can imgaine how much I loathe to think of WG or TV getting injured . . .what with the mind games and beef games AW is playing with Senderos' form, injuries and his aborted Everton move  

In modern footie, how can a team do so well without a Bully Striker  . . .we need to go for broke to win this EPL, get a Rodalegga/Kewwyl Jones kinda striker that can harrass defenders not another Eduardo that will be anonymous against experienced teams and comes out fantastic against technical deficient teams . . . ??

Do we have a goal keeper ?

are u suggesting he is in anyway connected to Abdu Farouk Mutallab ?   

@A-40

Vela wasnt the reason we are still in the FA Cup . . .the introduction of Nasri and Diaby ultimately changed the game, even if I felt it was an unhealthy risk for AW to have kept them that long on the bench before ringing the changes . . .

Vela, MERIDA, WILSHERE were piss-poor . . .I wonder why Wilshere wasnt subtituted as early as the 1st half . . .I am beginning to have my doubts on the boy what could be the problem ? the media ? AW ? himself ? a natural phase he has to go thru ?

My man Abel, am not gonna bother myself comparing Vela with Bendtner, THEY ARE BOTH NOT ARSENAL MATERIAL TO ME !!! ANYBODY COULD HAVE ASSISTED THE GOALS TO TAKE ARSENAL OUT OF ANY DOLDRUM, EVEN AN OWNGOAL COULD HAVE . . .SO WHAT ARE U ON ABOUT ?

Vela is proving to be an inconsistent player, regardless of the playing time u are talking about he needs to prove himself, how does he achieve this ? he needs to make his marks from the games he gets as a fringe player, NOT JUST SCORING SPECTACULAR GOALS ONCE IN A WHILE!!! . . . .in the pecking order who is Vela in Arsenal attack


@RITCHBOY

I am tired of saying this; but I will say it again !

Obafemi Martins is by no means an extra-ordinary player . . .how many Extra-ordinary players have u watched play LIVE ? I have seen Extra-ordinary players play LIVE and I know what am talking about . . .Its not rocket science ! The fact that he plays spot kicks with both legs dont mean nada, or are u saying he is the only one u know that does this ?

debosky:
Sharon is my good mate. . . .we've been poking fun at each other on NL for over 3 years now. I'm sure he'll appreciate the joke.

We still love Sharon !

Sharon, pls get back on ur feet soon, we miss u . . .

@Debosky

How time fies . . .

I hope Sharon has not fled to Asia the same way he did for over 6 months sometime ago . . .

worse case scenario . . .he would change his name and use anoda moniker

. . .and they would ask u how come u know ?

hope u wont mind telling them how many times u have played with that kini that u claim is smaller ?

How I wish I could say these are just Photoshop products ?

Happy new year to all Gunners and non-gunners !

@Debosky

I would appreciate it if u could continue being as realistic as ur latest posts imply . . . AW must buy and we all have to know that ITS NOT YET UHURU . . .no need being so close now and yet being so far at the end . . .WE HAVE BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, YET WE COULDN’T EXPLAIN FOR EXAMPLE OUR LOSS IN THE 07/08 SEASON

What has helped us this season isnt that our boys have been spectacular but rather we have for once capitulated on the mistakes of our rivals in the top echelon of the league . . .what explains that half way into the league the league leaders have dropped 15 points already remember y’all when I said whoever is gonna win this season will not notch up to 90 points . . . I bet IT WILL BE MATHEMATICALLY POSSIBLE BUT REALISTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANYONE (MAX CHELSEA, ARSENAL,MANURE,ASTON) TO PICK UP 90 POINTS, ANY DOUBTING THOMASES ??

YET . . .Eduardo is not still getting it right, forget the fact that he scored the winner . . .what of the squandered chances ? what about the fact that opponent defenders don’t even feel thre atened by his presence . . .I BET EDUARDO IS STILL AT ARSENAL COS OF HIS TRAUMATIC INJURY EXPERIENCE , Arsenal defo will not turn its back on a player in that manner BUT LET HIM WAKE UP . . .TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN MUCH IS EXPECTED !!!

Debo, what makes u think that Wenger is not introducing personal beef into Senderos’ issue Its absurd that the young man is being allowed to waste away on the bench . . .to boot, he is one of the most intelligent players in Arsenal !!!

Vela is a EFFING DISGRACE. . .sincerely I don’t see what people say they see in him, I would rather have Jorge Campos come and play in his position if it were about national/continental quota LOL

@Ibime

Ur comments about Gignac seems so true, but do u really think AW would want to buy him now that he isnt as hot as he was last season ?

Did someone say Darren BENT is AW’s target ? what a fat joke

Ibime:
This must be a joke!

Can someone answer the following questions:


(1.) Why should Obasi be on standby for Martins. So if Martins recovers from injury, Obasi will be out of the squad? Shouldnt Eneramo be on standby instead? Only a doofus like Amodu would prefer Eneramo to Obasi.

(2.) Is Nnwaneri better than Adeleye? So why is Adeleye not in the squad?

(3.) Why is Ajilore not in the squad?

(4.) In continuation of (3.), we already have enough DM's with Keita and Ayila, so what is Olofinjana doing in the squad in place of Akilore?

(5.) Why is Kalu Uche still in the squad?



Left to me, I would draw the curtain on the Super-Eagles careers of Kanu and Aiyegbeni. I dont know what them quadragenarians are still looking for in the SE.

I will try and answer ur questions as un-sentimentally as possible . . .

* Obasi messed up badly the last couple of matches he played . . .plus has he got his mojo on in his club being a 1 hit wonder might not gurantee ur place in a national team replete with an array of established names . . .

* Eneramo might be heavy but for a larger part he is fulfilling the part of : knowing more of African opponents being based himself on African soil . . .2) he disturbs defenders a lot and his game play is not entirely bad for a striker in build-ups

* I love Adeleye, I want him there, but my dear brother we are faced with SPORTS POLITICS AT ITS HIGHEST POINT . . .Siasia and Amodu arent the best of friends, Adeleye and Adebayo Olufemi are Siasia boys so if Amodu decides not to pick them, we shouldnt be too surprised . . .Onigbinde picked Ogbeche based on a 'sangalo' against Scotland abi na Ireland. . .LOL

* I cant understand why Ajilore isnt in that squad . . .why is Etuhu there Ayila ? Kaita

Its obvious Olofinjana is our main man for the jersey no 4 position whether anybody likes it or not, so why play politics with the selection of our team ?

do u really think any coach in the Naija setup can bench Olofinjana u are having a big laff if u dont know that the reason why Seyi and Yakubu would almost always make the 1st team of Nigeria is that THEY ARE ALWAYS THE BEST IN TRAINING SESSIONS !!!

copy that ?

Mikel is only good enuff to be compared with Denilson and co . . .

Song is playing on another frquency now, plus he had been MVP in tourneys, regressed and is stilll is getting better by the day . . .

Mikel's mates in Wolrd footie are Messi and Fabregas . . .has Mikel ever been named in a CAF Footballer of the year award B4 ?

the way Song is playing the next CAF awards is definitely going to be incomplete without his being nominated . . .remember this form of his is a carryover from his form of last season

Mikel, however has a chance of proving himself with the CAF 2010 set to kick of next weekend . . .can he deliver in national colours

thats one fundamental area I use in comparison of players - performance for club and country . . .the best of players get the accolades they get BASED ON HOW WELL THEY RUN THE SHOW FOR THEIR COUNTRY !!!

Case in point - Eric Cantona . . .as great as he was for Man Utd, who was he in International footie ?

debosky:
Has Walcott not scored twice against Chelski? I guess that means he's a bigwig and not an upstart?

If that's the standard, then the entire Arsenal team bar Denilson and Almunia are bigwigs. Yes or no?

Rubbish - will Pascal Cygan be named in the first eleven of even Iceland?

Anyone thinking the invincibles can be replicated is dreaming - that type of performance may never be seen in the premiership in our lifetimes.

That's irrelevant - Name the 1st team in the world that Parlour would have broken into apart from Arsenal. . . .most teams wouldn't touch him.

All I'm saying is this - we need a competent forward and a DM replacement for Song. Simple.

Walcott upstart are u on some highly x-rated shepe ?

Walcott is a CERTFIED BIGWIG in the Arsenal setup, dont be funny !!! maybe not in World footie but defo the EPL knows there is a Walcott as much as they know there is a Lennon

Denilson was the captain of the Brazilian U-19 before AW bought him, how exactly u see him in the team might be relative to how u view him ALMUNIA international or not is definitely one of the biggest players in Arsenal

Pascal Cygan's performance relatively is better than what Bendtner has been able to muster . . . . plus he's once been French footie player of the year , correct me if am wrong

Nigeria to win . . .

none of CIV, Cameroun nor Ghana would, if Nigeria doesnt . . .

anyone wanna bet ?

Debosky


The rubbish u write could be terribly alarming for someone that should know better

who knew Ljunberg before he came to Arsenal ? maybe NOBODY . . .but then Wenger did : explains why he was an International that made his mark scoring against England playing for his motherland, and also on his debut scored against the manure scummies . . .can I now ask u who u would call an upstart

Ordinarily, in a team an INTERNATIONAL is meant to be a BIGWIG . . .yes ?

and in saying LLJUNGBERG and co werent upstarts - - -I mean Arsenal needs to have in its team PLAYERS THAT CAN CONVENIENTLY BE NAMED IN THE 1ST X1 OF ANY TEAM IN THE WORLD . . .thats what makes the INVINCIBLES unique . . . kagani ko ?

and pls dont tell me that Denilson will break into the 1st team of any team in the World

Nice way to win . . .

bad way to concede that goal

@Debosky

I can only thank God that u have seen the light that buying a striker is non-negotiable . . .marquee signing or not BTW what's ur definition of BIGWIG ? Have u forgotten that the Invincibles were bigwigs in World footie, yeah IN THEIR OWN RIGHTS THEY WERE TRADEMARK NAMES NOT UPSTARTS - Bergkamp, Vieira, Henry, Lehmann, Campbell, Ljungberg, et al

. . .and did u say THERE IS ONLY ONE SONG ?

@Kaynana

AM FERVENTLY PRAYING SILVESTRE SHIPS HIMSELF OUT OF ARSENAL . . .

The untouchables in that team are;

Enyeama

Ejide

Aiyenugba

Odiah

Apam

Taiwo

Echejile

Yobo

Shittu

Adeleye

Olofinjana

Mikel

Uche

Osaze

Kaita

Ajilore

Eneramo

Yakubu

Kanu

Nsofor

Ogbuke - 50:50 chance

Olufemi - 50:50 chance also

Nwaneri - It wont surprise me if he makes the team

Sodje - where is he ?



*** Martins . . .is he fit to play

*** Ayila - would be dropped !

***Etafia - except a miracle happens, he should wait for his time !

IK UCHE - this is the one player we would miss most !

Rabiu Ibrahim - this boy would have made a hell of impact . . .

@Chief Semid4lyfe

Osaze might never do well in a playmaking position . . .its not rocket science !

for u to be able to playmake U MUST BE ABLE TO CARRY UR MATES ALONG, OSAZE CERTAINLY DOESNT HAVE THAT PATIENCE AS HE IS PROLLY MORE COMMITTED THAN OTHER PLAYERS THAT ARE PLAYING LIKE THEY HAD JUST STOOD UP FROM A HEAVY MEAL OF EBA AND OGBONO SOUP . . .

Thats where we should respect playmakers . . . Okocha, Pirlo, Ballack, Pirlo, Zizou . . .

majority of the best playmakers the world over are not hustle and bustle kind of players . .

they are players who are ready to move the ball round the field, make and take critical decisions, carry the team on their shoulders, play the game of their lives, dribble if necessary, prove to be the match-winner if possible, play as deep as possible . . .

majority of playmakers are excellent with set-pieces . . .

playmakers are a blessing to their generations . . .

PLAYMAKERS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS NOT PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THEIR ROLES CHANEGED FROM DEFENDERS OR STRIKERS TO PLAYMAKERS LOL

@Sam Milla and Honeric01

Nice one guys !

majority of these guys just about base their sentiments on the hype of how passionately Osaze plays and his Oyinbo half caste quota . . .to say the most ludicrious of things . . .Osaze to play as playmaker of Super Eagles INTERESTING !!!

Osaze playmaker

what a role that would be for a player that plays so casually

tkb417, I don't even know how to respond to this but I will try. 
You will agree that this election palava was meant to be fun with nothing attached but things merely got out of hand due to the approach taken by the mod. I'm sure she never meant it that way.
On my own part, I guess I shouldn't have criticized her in public. The Mod in me "should" have at least kept quiet (since really, this election of a thing is NOTHING) but the ordinary poster in me could not resist. It was a bad move on my part. If I couldn't stand by her, I could have just stayed away from the thread.

At the end of the day, you will realise that we are all different.
Hope you understand.   

The truth of the matter is; only a fool sees the truth and runs from it !

Isnt it ridiculous that we have our people always complaining about Government, but give them little chance to rule a few heads, THEY FEEL THEY HAVE ARRIVED . . .HOW DELUDED !

are u sure u are ok? , u really need to see your doctor coz u are way going out of control , mehn i have gat no time for nobodies like u, preparing for my xmas, kinda having fun over here, so if u dont like my poo, and can go F your selves ok?, once again, Talk to the hard, Punk face!

Olodo rabata . , so it took u almost a month to reply my short post

his past activity is enuff to last for the duration of Nairaland !!!

@DEBO

Stop contradicting urself, in the same post u are saying its paramount we get a striker and earlier u said its only a replacement for Song we need an extra body for ? how explanatory of ur person !

The issue is this; I am not being overtly critical until when I deem fit . . .u guys seem all too comfy with Almunia now since he didnt concede any over the weekend, when next he concedes 3, u will be over him castigating him as being worse than Greg Etafia

am not saying he sbould buy 4 Arshavins, BUT WE MUST REALIZE WE NEED TO PLAN AHEAD FOR INJURIES OCCURING . . .

even with that what do we need all the LBs for when Traore's mojo is inconsistent or SILVESTRE IS GERIARTIC ??

So Debosky . . .u really nebelieve we have enuff in our armoury when u see players like Sunu, Gilbert, Eastmond making our bench or even starting a Premiership matchday ? na wa o !

GOD, give us men!

A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of office can not buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor; men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demagogue
And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking!
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty, and in private thinking;
For while the rabble, with their thumb-worn creeds,
Their large professions and their little deeds,
Mingle in selfish strife, lo! Freedom weeps,
Wrong rules the land and waiting Justice sleeps.
