Hold on a minute, ain't Jay Z's mouth is as big as this naturally. . . ? I think the Guinness world record team should tell him he may be in the potential to claim a record.

I'm guessing you are fearful of getting your backside whacked by a skillful player? NAh you sabi joor. It is hard to get anyone here to actually be committed.

What is the point? You sent me a message, I said yeah lets play but for some reason you just stopped. Nice.

Mrs. Siena:
If you were given a choice to pick which would you choose.

I had a C-section not by choice though but it was very necessary at that time funny enough I seem to like it cos my little princess was out within 20mins. I asked myself when we want to have another baby would it be thru natural childbirth or c-section and I seem to choose C-section prolly because the whole pushing stuff hasnt really sunk down my skull. Lol.

So tell me which you would choose.

I think your first part highlighted one of the problems facing western world when it comes to child birth.  When it comes to C-section, ideally, it should not be a matter of choice or even an alternative to natural child birth unless off course there are warranted medical reasons to do so. (I do understand that your is not via choice and very good reasons though)

In the UK, C-section is over the normal/acceptable rate. From the top of my head, it is about 15% of all births in the UK, when it should have been in single figure or so. Some of the reasons as per UK high number of C-section is down to Current trend - When you hear people like Victoria Beckham et al waxing lyrical about C-section in the papers and been portrayed as a sort of good thing by the media, then it is a matter of time before young mothers start copying and demanding c-section. Hence why I mentioned that it should not be a choice unless necessary.  I remember media labelling such women as "too posh to push".

Other reasons also include unnecessary procedures by medical team, rise in private medical care (C-section means more money for them etc), cultural preference (very common in places like Turkey for mothers who are absolutely medically fine to request C-section, hence one of the reason Turkey have one of the highest rates of c-section carried out in Europe)

Anyway to address the issue raised by the OP, I think Natural births beats C-section hands down. Just looking at the risk that comes with c-section alone is probably enough for them not to make such a choice:

As with any operation, there are considerable risk, and some of it can be fatal.

Babies have been known to have their head sliced or arm sliced during C-section, especially if they are in a not-so-natural position (Breech for example) hence having a scar for life in some cases.

Risk of cross-contamination and infection

The more C-section a mother have, the less likely they can have kids as there is a weakness in the muscle area where the operation was carried out.

It cost the NHS a lot more than natural birth. A C-section per session average about 10 thousand pounds, minus the after care required.

It drag resources away from others. A c-section will require the following people - Nurses, midwife, doctor, Haematologist, Anaesthetic nurse etc. All of these specialist can be else where dealing with others etc.

There are also other issues which a few people raised that are psychological and bonding with the child (The last part is not always true, but it is known to have happened)



I am not discouraging anyone, but I am of the belief that most women are physiologically tuned to handle child birth and as such, I am not sure offering it as an option during pregnancy is a wise move (unless there are medical reasons). I have to say the NHS disagree with me on this one.


PS
Congratulobia on your baby birth.

A quick read for anyone interested.

Am on line today and tmrw. Just send me a PM. In fact, am going on line right now.

HNIC:
exquisite ball from Clichy
I must say

Meet by an equally good hoovering (dont wanna call it flying) header!

By the way, only real fans are allowed to celebrate this goal.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS *breathe** SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Hmmmm Chammy should have walked away.

With our players now pushing forward, I hope dem no catch us on the counter o.

OMG theo denied by wood work again!

WTF Wolves 2 - 1 Manc City.

I have a feeling we may score in the final quarter of the half as our forward wears down WH.

I also think a simple shot will be what will beat WH keeper. His shot-stopping powers are on fire today.

HNIC:
Suit yourself
and call me whatever name you want.
Free me abeg, I am entitled to an opinion . ,  and being a fan doesnt mean you close your eyes to defficiencies in the team
Probably, u dont know how much stick I get on NL seeing the positive side of things at Arsenal all the time.

You are entitled to you opinion no doubt, so I am entitled to point out the flaws in them.

Stats so far suggest we are not playing badly, but you on the other hand claim we are simply rubbish because we are yet to score 3 goals in first half.  Hence why I asked you to go watch NBA instead, plenty of goals for each quarter to satisfy your want.

Ibime:
Come abi Nasri don score or wetin? He's my capitan in FPL o.

Freekick denied by wood work. Beat keeper too.

HNIC:
E gba mi
So,u are not a real fan when you say things as it is. . . . . .
In my post, I talked of what should be done to get the result in the 2nd half
and even said Green has been their saviour.
I am sure if you check arsenal.com, they will tell you that we have had a less than average first half
I have not said we would not win, I am only giving an opinion of the 1st half
If Arsenal scores, I will be d first to rejoice

No, you are moaning even though we ain't playing badly.

Off course you will rejoice after all that is all you care about, and wont show a bit of support in a game that is only half time despite the fact we are not playing badly.

I guess you want 20goals in space of 15mins before you show a bit of support? Please joor, West ham will not let us walk over them simply because they are at the bottom.

HNIC:
Hehehehehehehe
I have got Arsenal running in my blood
But. . . . . .
be real to yourself
You are playing a team bottom of the league and not dominating.
Green is also a West Ham player, not some spirit who was drafted in ,in the last few minutes before the game.
I have seen better displays from Arsenal this season , . . and some players have been mediocre so far.
We need to step up or I repeat, it will be De ja vu all over again

No you don't. If you do, it would have stopped you from posting such knee-jerk reaction comment in the first place.

So you forget that this is a game of football and simply because a team is at the bottom do not mean it will be an easy ride.

Man City was doing well when before they played us, but what happened after?

Abeg, do not expect a goal-scoring and thrill embedded football from your team all the time. If you want stuff like that, abeg go watch NBA. Real fans stick with their team and not deride them simply because it is half time and they are yet to score.

HNIC:
Rubbish first half
Credit to Green though
On another day we would have been 2-0 up
We need to ring the changes tactic wise or personnel wise
OR
a West Brom catastrophe might be looming!

Are you a real Arsenal fan or just another arm chair expert?

How is the first half rubbish when he have played well, hit a few chances on goal but their keeper is the saving grace so far? Gosh.

All these play in front of our door mouth dey fear me o, but not like before sha.

Chelsea is one goal down.

buccaneer7:
If this is true then nigeria is the battle field because the north and west nigeria holds the worlds eastern culture while east nigeria and some western region inculding south south holds the world western culrure.

I am not so sure I buy his point. In every culture, there is always a fine divide. You will have parties adopting and embracing different values, culture and view etc. I think it is too broad of an idea to say Naija na battle ground. Same logic applies to anywhere there are humans because we will continue to be different.

May God have mercy o!
Is it israelis that shipped weapons into lagos?
Or is it Israelis that were arrested and the ring leader hiding in Iranian embassy?
Nigerians and shadow chasing, they leave substance and pursue shadows!

The unspoken rules with debates like this are as follows:

When ever Iran is in the spotlight for doing something bad, blame the CIA, Western-Zionist regime and Call out something Israel did years ago as a justification.

Blame it on all part of the nu-world order to destroy us all and take over the world.

Ignore the fact that Islam may be one of the reasons.

Oh, and if anyone tries to point out the obvious, go all out and discredit the person while drawing attention away from the subject at hand.




You see, these are just a few of the unwritten rules and conduct posters like him abide by.

jay bee:
Must be a gift for him to have been featured in newspapers as cash usually changes hand for 'em sort of stories.
It's not a disability so it's all coolios for the dude

JeSoul:
Gross!

How?  Think of all the goodies he can do to his GF with this. Her bosom will literally disappear in his mouth, her face will be half-swallowed during kissing, and imagine the joy he will give her from going down on her.




On a serious note, I think he may have a genetic defect which allows for extra stretching of the skin. I remember coming across a similar story some years back on tv. There really is nothing there that will affect him per se, however the only known medical downside is that they people like him exhibit poor wound healing should they suffer a cut or serious wound.

So no one here who get correct internet connection and get pro evo 11 on ps3 for online play?

kenkruse:
Exactly my fear, nsofor will like to emulate osaze , in as much as i wish him well in EPL, I take exception when he play against arsenal.

There is high level of confidence in the camp right now due to the 4 straight win after chelsea defeat, just hope that will not get into their head.

I see your concern and where you are coming from. I think our defence in my opinion is that despite it being the weak point or the chink in our amour, it is fair to say they can put up a strong defence when needed (most of the time). With confidence running high in our camp right now too, plus self belief and determination taking shape, I think the urge to carry on such high will drive our defence to want to perform more.

It should also be mentioned that with Fabianski in goal, I have less worry compared to say when someone like Almunia.

Overall, this match should be an interesting one, Arsenal wanting to maintain the momentum and our opponent looking to do some serious damage, it can only be a good day for football. With West Ham having players who can cause wahala for us upfront, I think they have more fear of us than we have of them. With players like Walcott proving he is our Hermes (Messenger of the God with fast feet) I am not sure West ham have an answer to him in that department. Let's not forget Chammy upfront and our maestro commander - Csexual fabregas - dictating the play in his zone.


By the way, is the starting 11 released yet?

Enough yapping and snide remarks children. Can we talk some real football please?

Here is a great article on Arsene

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/innovation/2010/1029/1224281901253.html

Here are some of the quotes

As business plans go, the Arsenal model does not fail to impress. “A soccer manager, or the manager of a company, must first succeed in bringing the talent in, which is extremely difficult in my case because I work in a highly competitive market,” Wenger says. “You can recruit talent when it has already been discovered, or you can recruit when it hasnt yet been discovered, but there is a big difference in the salary. That's why we try hard to recruit talent the others dont know about.”

I think this model is now been adopted by almost every club. If I remember correctly, people slated him for not wanting to spend, but look at the squad now.

The club gives youngsters of any nationality a chance, plays attractive football and competes at the highest level. “My dream has always been to create our own culture, an identity, with a multicultural team,” he explains. “We have 18 different nationalities at Arsenal and we have values that are recognised throughout the world. Talented players all want to become the best in world, and they feel they can realise that objective with us.”

Wengers methods have been vindicated by skipper Fabregas agreeing to stay despite Barcelona’s interest, and by the decisions of precocious talents like Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey to choose Arsenal ahead of Chelsea or Manchester United.

The above is pretty much self explanatory.



As per today's match against West ham, I think we should be a bit weary because West ham seem to flex muscle when they come and play with us, I just hope they do not steal any point off us.

I agree, I have a feeling that shooting will make us more potent in front of goals. On the other hand, I noticed that defenders become less aggressive when we get our passing going on in their box. This may be better than shooting as it may be blocked, abi wetin una think?

Dolemite:
Never played online (I have a great internet connection though) but I hope online you can't edit your team to have 99 skill, speed everything. . .

Nope. There is an option to prevent that and also, we can create a community online and all the records kept there. It is hard for people to cheat in this one I think - Pro evo 2011.

follypimpi:
Chamoru should just learn to be more selfish and shoot.

Hardly do our players shoot. Dunno whether na instructions from AW or perhaps it is hard to shoot with the type of football philosophy we embrace?

Lol @guys digging out things people mentioned in the past lol.

I know who I will take a hint on betting from, and those I go avoid.

I hear you. I do however think he's got some of those fluidity going on in all honesty (but perhaps not to the level you were describing). He's hardly rested since his arrival.

If I am to pick between the "début" Chammy and the one of recent. I think I will go with the one that you described as gaining hold up play. 

Personally, I think his recent approach works best for us. He contributes to areas where we may face difficulties at times - Midfield area.

It is safe to assume that you do not rate him. I understand that, but to say he is rigid is probably pushing it. This was a guy who settled into the EPL upon arrival. Come on now, give him some credit.

Ibime:
,  cos HE IS TOO RIGID!

Really? He scores in almost every away game lately, he dribbled/fake feinted a keeper, out run a few defenders and shows he is good with his head within the short time he arrived to join us and you think he is rigid?  He is rigid yet he could hold on to the most troublesome of players from the opponent, surely you require some fluidity to do all of these?

Also you think  with two goals in two games from Bendtner and now Bendtner is a better finisher than Chammy?


It is true, everyone around here is an arm chair expert.
