Berbatov has been a failure at Man U, at no point in his stay at OT has he been considered a success. Luca Toni on the other hand was christened the new Herr Bomber in the 2006-2007 season - wonder how goals he scored in that season for bayern ?

The donkey is so blind it can't even see when It's been aided

Are we comparing Luca Toni to Rooney or am getting this wrong ? Cos surely we couldn't possibly be comparing him to Berbatough-luck

In my village the wife cooks while the husband washes clothes. My wife changes dresses like 4 times a day and i have to wash, starch and iron them with a coal iron. That woman will kill me.

All my match day mode positive energy projection gone into waste.
well, postponing the inevitable is one of life's provisions.

If Nigeria makes it into the list of 14 countries on the US terror watch list isn't that a black African record ? (bad record)
Same applies here.

My God, this guy has outdone his counterparts in Abuja and the Niger Delta . We don't even know if this is all he has and He's already the richest man in Nigeria. . Just imagine if these guys had done their jobs practising sound corporate governance, we'd be boasting of Mega Banks
by now. Such a pity, we're not good people in this country.

@Demdem There's no such thing as enough money o ! Even the no. 1 economy in the world wants your little money in their economy, the day you get complacent is the day you stop to progress.
Just remembering what Gowon said in the 70s about Nigeria's problem not being money but what to do with it, wonder what he thinks about that now ?

Slim , Wenger has been interested for two years but has probably been observing for much longer, so i say 2011

^ nna v3 i've never heard of the Cardozo guy to be honest with you but his life is about to be dissected by you know who on the web ASAP

According to forbes Dangote is worth about $3bn, this guy was not too far off. And here i thought you couldn't become a billionaire working on salary.

The typos and grammatical errors in becomrich's posts are deliberate . I'm trying to decode who he really is.

OP source abeg .

The guy had enough money to pay Intercontinental staff salaries for ten years, incredible. Are we really sure of these figures ?

I hope we can get a fit Cole if It's possible but the price would be roof top range for sho.
Wenger has contributed to the spoiling of some of these teenagers. I can't believe that a NINETEEN year old is frustrated he's not seeing first team action at "Arsenal". At Man U, Chelsea and even Liverpool not even the security at the stadium would know his name not to mention Barca, but he'd rather be at Athletico than Arsenal cos of 1st team action. He's probably too young to remember the Reyes episode, wonder how much 1st team that guy is getting these days. Personally i'd rather we lose Merida than Rosicky, cos what are the chances he'll ever develop into a Fabregas after all ? How many Fabs does one team need need in the first place ?

The hausa leadership deceive the masses into believing that the people resisting the introduction of sharia are the ones holding back their progress. And so anyone against their leadership's blackmail is viewed as the enemy and religious crises erupt and my people suffer the brunt of the violence from this madness. But then again you have to understand that this evil systemic arrangemnent to disenfranchise them is what keeps them uneducated and ignorant.
Ask yourself this question. Which ethnic group in Nigeria gives unfettered obedience to It's leaders ? Surely It's the hausa man. How then can that same leadership then come out and say it cannot mobilise It's people into class rooms ? The Yerimas and Rilwanu Lukmans see their people as goats that are easily manipulatable as illiterates so it doesn't benefit their selfish ambitions to get them emancipated.

@montelik , The so called elite that are inherently useless in these hausa states form a major part of the problem. Unlike the south-south where There's an out cry against the graft and mismanagement in govt, the hausa leadership have used religion to shroud and silence the mass living in abject, and i mean ABJECT poverty in hausa land. Children don't go to school and the some governors and ministers whose children school abroad come out to defend this culture saying It's in line with "islam" Inspite of the fact that we know that there are no almajiris and hoards of beggars in the middle east.
I hate the religious bigotry that has been forced into the hausa man cos my people have suffered from it but one thing i know is, if there is any person that has been cheated most by It's leadership in Nigeria it is the common hausa man on the street.

I don't know what to make of it. May be he was killed over the Mutallab saga. :-/

@kawkab, that's a very intelligent contribution you have made. Many people here speak out of sheer ignorance but don't know zilch about these matters. Come and see how divided many places with large non hausa populations have become divided, especially places like kaduna state that probably have a 50% non hausa population that are fed up to the south of the state, and a 50% hausa population that put Osama stickers on their cars to the north of the state. These things didn't start today.

You don't need to watch a player live to properly assess if they possess characteristics that can be likened to genius or otherwise. In actual sense, having access to matches captured from different angles and with the new technology available for gathering stats, watching a player live doesn't hold any particular advantage over captured video unless you're a trained scout who's in the field specifically to watch the player. Wenger's one of the best in the game and It's no secret that video and stats are his tools.
The composure of Song when he wins the ball back is what i'm afraid no other MF can replicate. So calm and confident(and incredibly strong too) when he wins back the ball, though short of pace.

Phil Brown = Luis Van Gaal

Arjen Robben = Owusu Abeiye

Ramsey also has a defensive side that's not usually present in creative types, that guy scares me. Can't really place my finger on what he'll develop into.

Phil Lahm = Pascal Chimbonda

Chai ! O boy ! ! i'm shocked beyond words. I used to think Nigerians liked Momodu
that's why Meryl Streep said you should visit the blogosphere anytime you beginning to think you're something, quite a humbling place.
Nairalanders if you don't like anything about me better tell me now o, don't embarrass for nothing one day.

How old is Nzaghi , isn't he Italian too ? How old is Del Piero, is he French ? Aren't they Italians like him ?
Some players bloom early and disappear early - Ronaldo, Owen, Aghahowa? . Some bloom early remain there - Raul, Anelka, Henry. Some bloom late and ride on till later - Drogba, Grafite . So which group does Luca Toni belong ?
Mark Von Bommel = Salif Diao

Nigerians have a lousy attitude when it comes to rules. We think rules are there to make us miserable and the CEOs operated in such an environment. Where were the directors when these CEOs were giving loans against the set standards ? Why don't we have a whistle blowing culture ? This problem is more of a Nigerian thing if you ask me

32 ? I could have sworn Raul and Drogba were in that vicinity.

Podolski = Siyabonga Nomvete

Chai ! Add away game to stoke in FA cup to the beginning, just 4 days before Villa. Who planned this thing ?

@slim sorry i forgot to respond to your question, we play stoke on the weekend of 23 & 24. So unless cameroon get knocked out early we'll not have Song. And don't forget immediately after that is when we have those tough matches.
