Ferguson should pick Anderson ahead of anyone in the midfield. Giggs should now retire and allow Anderson, Cleverly and Powel some playing time in order to develop into world class midfielders. Scholes should play limited matches, he shouldn't be used against a fast team. Untill Anderson came in, the midfield lacked energy. Cleverly is also very energetic and mobile, at least one of them should always be on pitch. |

Something is wrong with United style of play. They should hasten up the game and flow faster. Why is Cleverly on the bench? |

Sir Alex Ferguson is a true legend. Look at his outstanding report card while he was the manager of Aberdeen. He pushed Celtic and Rangers to the background. He won the Eufa cup with such a small team. Go to link for his full career report. In June 1978, when he joined the Aberdeen Football Club (FC), he was younger than a few senior players of the team. Sir Alex Ferguson earned the respect and trust of his team players only after the Dons won 5-0 against the opponent team on the final day of the Scottish league that season (1979-80). Being a strict disciplinarian with brilliant managerial skills, he helped the Dons’ to become the runner-up of the Scottish League Cup in 2 seasons, 1978-80, and clinch the Scottish Premier Division title (1979-80). The outstanding team-building talent of Sir Alex Ferguson helped the Dons’ team to take the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Cup Winners’ Cup in 1982-83 and secure the UEFA Super Cup in 1983-84. With his guidance, the Aberdeen FC bagged the Scottish Football Association (SFA) Cup for 3 consecutive seasons, 1981-84 and also during 1985-86. After his efficient training, the Dons’ performed well to fetch the Scottish Premier Division titles for 2 consecutive seasons, 1983-85 and the Scottish League Cup in 1985-86. http://www.siralexferguson.net/ 1 Like |

Please is this man not worse than Mubarak? Is this democracy? Now they will go all the way to create a new constitution without any opposition. CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi triggered controversy on Thursday by issuing a decree likely to lead to retrials of Hosni Mubarak and his aides but which was compared to the ousted leader's autocratic ways. As well as ordering retrials for Mubarak-era officials responsible for violence during the uprising against his rule, the decree shielded from legal challenge an Islamist-dominated assembly writing Egypt's new constitution. It gave the same protection to the upper house of parliament, dominated by Islamists allied to Mursi, and assigned the president new powers that allowed him to sack the Mubarak-era prosecutor general and appoint a new one. It stated that all decisions taken by Mursi until the election of a new parliament were exempt from legal challenge. Presented as a move to "protect the revolution," the decree won immediate praise from Mursi's allies but stoked fears among secular-minded Egyptians that the Muslim Brotherhood and its allies aim to dominate the new Egypt. It seemed likely to deepen the divisions that have plagued the post-Mubarak era. "These decisions will feed discord in Egyptian politics and will be far from creating a favorable climate for restoration of economic growth," said Mustapha Kamal Al-Sayyid, a professor of political science at Cairo University. Leading liberal politician Mohamed ElBaradei, writing on his Twitter account, said Mursi had "usurped all state powers and appointed himself Egypt's new pharaoh." But Mahmoud Ghozlan, spokesman for the Brotherhood, described the move as "revolutionary and popular.". http://m.yahoo.com/w/legobpengine/news/mursi-draws-fire-egypt-decree-011450422.html?.b=index&.ts=1353663776&.intl=us&.lang=en. |

It is funny the way people reason. So some of you actually want the referee to be punished based on Ramires witness alone without video proof or evidence? Even the other officials using the same communication system said they didn't hear anything of such over the microphone. This is an age of technology where everything that happened on the pitch can be scrutinized bit by bit with latest technology. Mikel should be ashamed now. 1 Like |

Juventus could have easily won this by 5-0 or more. It was an excellent night for Juventus. They thought Chelsea some football lesson, and now hope they can replicate same in their last match. For Chelsea, it is not over. But the lesson is that you need men to win champions league. Oscar, Hazard and Mata will do well in the future, even if Chelsea manage to qualify, they won't go far this year. If not for that Victor Moses last breath goal the other time, it would have been good bye now. RDM used all his strength to play Man United in the Premier League and Capital One cup just to prove a point, and now, it is affecting them in subsequent matches. |

BarryX: I sincerely doubt I meant that. But all the same, I congratulate you for hustling your PPA which of course I know is against the NYSC bye-laws and most definitely some serious lobbying or money changing hands would have influence your placement BTW , there is hope* *smiles**Not even a penny was involved. You got it all wrong. I was posted to a private firm in Ikeja. When I got there, I told myself ''this place is not meant for me and can't support my family with it''. So I started writing aptitude tests and going from one bank to the other. I got everything on merit. I went with my letter from the bank to the NYSC office in Surulere, I was told to get a rejection from my PPA, that was hard a little because it was only me they absolved out of four that were posted there. I did very well in the interview they conducted for the four corp members. I came out top for the accountant job. To cut a long story short, everything was purely hardwork and merit. |

dabossman: I'm not, but I did my primary assignment on a military base after the 3 weeks camp. We were afforded officers status because we were graduates and even old sergeants respected us. I often felt embarrassed when grandfathers called me 'sir' or served me at the officer's mess.Ok. My only worry is that what I read here is different from what I experienced. I don't like that picture where graduates knelt down and raised their hands like primary school pupils. |

The early morning wake up time at 4.30 or 5.00 am for exercise is itself drilling. The jogging, then you go for marching and return for evening games. I am a sports person, these things (exercises) were normal to me. I really enjoyed camp. But if I may ask, how does this 'punishments' or drillings help for job hunt as you suggest? As for me, I wans't made to go through this things, yet I hustled a good job. I hustled my place of primary assignment myself, got a reposting and eventually retained there- in a bank. 1 Like |

Please people should stop saying these things are normal. This is dehumanizing, and it is abnormal. It is a shame to the corp member who cannot complain about this to the coordinator and the press.

State coordinator had to come and calm things down by redeploying the commandant..Good. During my time, we were gods to the soldiers. I can't believe what I am hearing now. The soldiers are taking advantage of the ignorance of these corp members. I am so surprised how the young people are celebrating it as normal. Na who born the soldier those days. If the corp member should raise this issue up, there will be a drastic change in the attitude of the soldiers. 1 Like |

This never happened during my time. It is strange that graduates are dehumanised like this, it is even more strange that almost everyone here accepted this as normal. I served in Ipaja camp Lagos, those days the soldier gave us our due respects as graduates. They knew their limits. How did it degenerate to this level? Perhaps the NYSC coordinators are no longer in charge lof their duties. We are talking of graduates here. I didn't for once heard anyone got flogged or did frog jump or made to kneel down for any reason. I knew corp members were summoned to the their the authorities offices, but non came to give report of corporal punishment. I am so surprised that graduate are meant to kneel down and raise their hands under the sun. I am not sure the governors are aware of this. As far as my memory can take me back, no soldier came into our hall at night. We were never waken up at odd hours. I think there is more to this these days. The soldiers are really having a field day. 1 Like |

| Christianity Etc › Re: The Nigerian Church Is Losing Its Purpose - By Ayobami Oyalowo (A Must Read!!!!) by elampiro(m): 11:26am On Nov 15, 2012 |
See how the pentecostal pastors have brought the Nigerian church to ridicule through their lust for money and misleading money teachings. They cannot criticize the government to bring them to their senses to use the people's resources to provide for the people. They enjoy their share of the money. Via donation, gift, etc. They only say sweet things that everyone wants to hear. No more preaching of salvation, repentance from fornication, adultery, abortion and corruption. Millions are misled and they enjoy the party. Oh! Wake up, wake up people. When a pastor opens his sugar coated tongue to preach to and manipulate the people for money, such a pastor/bishop should be politely told to stop telling lies in the name of God or better still shut up. Women are the most gullible, otherwise, why should a woman be asked to get naked to be anointed and she will gladly remove all her clothes and stand stark naked before another man. These things are strange. 2 Timothy 4: 1-5 New International Version (NIV) 4 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: 2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. 2 Likes |
