You can't fight segregation by fighting insignificant battles, if you really want to look at racism today, let's talk about how world bank and IMF loans are structured to destroy Africa

Dambrisa Moyo's book "Dead Aid" covers this point extensively.

Kane scored... It's left for Horjberg to protect their goals and he failed. TOT can not move forward with redundant players like that

Horjberg was easily TOT top 3 performers last season, look at his overall season stats, if you think he failed, then you are merely suffering from intellectual dishonesty.

There are many redundant players in TOT, and Horjberg is not one of them. No objective person will take Jorginho over Hojberg, that guy is a complete package, not one trick pony like J5.

J5 is good but dont disrespect a better player.

I don't know if black people are getting worked up by the racism those three boys received but from my Watsapp messages I believe so.

My take is there will always be a minority of racists in any country at any time, whether that's 1% or 3% or 5%. That's why we have minority far-right groups like BNP, National Front, English Defence League and so on. As long as they stay minority, it is never a problem as they don't affect the policies of the societies we live in.

Given that these people are there, they are bound to show up on Social media. Have we counted how many racist messages were received by Rashford and co? Is it material enough for black people in the UK to make it a central theme of discuss over the last week, or is it in line with a minority population which we know exist and can never be eradicated completely. The issue for me from a statistical point of view is in some of the Watsapp videos I've seen labelling Britain a racist society because a minute number of people decided to abuse Rashford and co. Why don't we just put this down to Social Media giving everyone a voice, including the 1% of Nazis we already know exist among us?

This is very on point, we really need to start looking at this from statistical point of view, I think some people are under the delusion that racism will someday disappear, and if we are honest, we know it never will. Progress will be determined by reduction in number of people expressing these views, the general thinking seems to be that since it still happens, progress haven't been made and that is not true.

like you said 1% population are minority, but if we just say "oh, i have seen people insulting Rashford on twitter today, Britians are racists". We are not looking at the issue objectively.

Like Raumdeuter said online anonymity gives some kind of cover to the perpetrators, it's possible for one racist to open multiple accounts and bombard Rashford with these comment, 100 racists doing that will seem like a large population on social media.

I hope we can learn to be more objective when this issue comes up, if we keep looking at this from emotional perspective, the issues will merely be aggravated.

Kane has the most goals and most assist in the just concluded EPL. What else do you want him to do? Turn to keeper?

Ask blueangel44 who thinks league position determines player quality.
Did you read the post I quoted?

BlueAngel444:
it is Ibime you want to answer, he should tell us how Hojberger who played 1400+ more minutes than Jorginho, cost Tottenham more points. Still posts miserable numbers compared to Jorginho.

Firstly he is expected to have just 2 assists but so how he has 4, meaning those assists na hit and hope. I recall over the top passes from Jorginho that Werner, Abraham and the like missed.

How can someone play 2700 passes but only 67 into the box, yet it is Jorginho that passes sideways and backwards yet eye test talk say na lie, stat talk say na lie. Abeg which match abi cable or table Ibime dey watch

Into the box passes for DM player, hmm, agenda must agend.

swiz123:
His Versatility was evident in Tottenham's league position... Something they grew unfamiliar with before the tout came with his mediocre kponkpon football....

He played DM in this tournament and should compete with his fellow DMs if he is to make the cut. He was underservedly shipped to CM because he lost to a serial winner, Jorginho; robbing Varrati off his glory in the process..... Where is the fairness in that.

Well, for Erickson's sake, I'd accept this.

Kane's quality is also evident in Tottenham's league position, lmao.

Chelsea player expected goal and assist vs actual goal and assist (premier league only)
Timo Werner:

What do you think of xG and xA as a metric of measuring player performance?

This is one hell of a long suicide note written, what's even more shocking is that the man's suicide note was copyrighted by his ex-wife and her attorney, while threatening blogs to take it down or face legal suits, luckily "a voice for men" didn't shy away from the challenge, there is no way to verify if everything the man said is true, but the fact that his divorce torment was well documented and that his wife tried to bury his last words with shady copyright laws give it credence.

It wasn't a suicide, it was murder. A man can only bear so much, we are humans not machines.

My take on this farmers herders issue.
The issue has been blown out of proportion and has become the avenue for other criminals to commit crimes under the guise of fulani herdsmen. Most of the fulani looking killers are not primarily herders.
The situation got worse when more killings were attributed to herdsmen and thus hostility towards them became increased, making it difficult for normal herdsmen to move around freely, their rich owners decides to protect their investments by purchasing more guns for their herders. And the situation just gets worse.

The normadic system of herdership is redundant as the cows look skinny from lengthy trekking, cattle herders should more to more efficient ways of rearing their cows.

When RUGA talks came out, i saw some sense in it, except for a few gray areas i thought should be modified to make it better, however what saturated the news was talk of how it was a system that was to be used to establish a fulani dynasty all over Nigeria.

My suggestion is that since cattle herdership is a private business, government to put in place policies to encourage them to change from nomadic style and embrace better ways of rearing cattles, education and enlightenment should be a solid part of the strategy. They should be encouraged to purchase lands for their this enterprises, they best government can do is to subsidize these settlements since it will make them more willing to embrace the system and can result in economic growth.
The problem however is that theorist will arise to discourage people from selling their lands for this purpose, which could pose a real challenge.

All in all, i think more dialogue will go a long way in addressing this issues, with both parties willing to make compromises.

Havertz10:
I dislike this boy

Game against Denmark ended, he didn't contribute anything, he went to give a girl his shirt and he is milking it for all it's worth

Let people celebrate you for your impact on the pitch, what kind of thing is this

Competition will soon end, no goals, no open play assist with more minutes that other attacking midfielders

Guy, what's your problem with mount? There is nothing he does on this green earth that you won't criticise, this is turning to something else.

Guys first time player here, how do you check my team and what do you think i can do to improve it?

Typical balon dor discussion, everybody dey do propaganda and manifestos.
Last last na ballot box go decide am.
Blaaddy polling booth awards.

So do you think it was a penalty or not?

Trevor012:
Why do Chelsea fans like to compare Rashford to every youngstar . Don't your club have players

Rashford na top golden boy na, especially as a forward, so it's no brainer.
You no even happy say good thing came out of the land of scummies.

Rashford and Chiesa, who do you think is the better player and why?

BlueRayDick:
The question I've been meaning to ask since last week is why didn't Sunday Igboho Oosha not wait and use Sgedinho's infamous " touch and chop grass ring" on them?

Is there something we are missing here?

See as una dey drag sulele04 abi na ShadowCracker MCM.
Make una calm down. D;

Am I the only one that doesn't want the SnyderVerse restored??

Unpopular Opinion:

This Titans is a scam series in the sense that I expected something related to comic characters to have a little bit of action not all these character development stuff and dialogue here and there.

Star Girl is what a legit comic series should be.

I agree.
I dey wait for season 3 before I give up on the series.
I don't understand their slow af development and uninteresting storyline. Just wasting time.

pu7pl3:
Omo be like say I go start this series o

Wetin you dey wait for? sharp sharp.
Although, I feel say episode 12 go define alot, I go shoot them if the use anticlimactic endings like that of star girl.

Unlimited22:
Do not allow me to swear for you.

LOL, world most expensive keeper not good enough to be second keeper, you can't make this shit up.

FatherCHRISTMAS:
Heard Jorginho is leaving for an Italian club. I hope it's a lie

I hope it's true.
Now is the best time to cash out on the guy.
I don't rate him much.

BlueAngel444:
Petr Cech is pushing Chelsea’s recruitment team to bring in Werder Bremen keeper Jiri Pavlenka as a second back-up to Edouard Mendy.


Another one from Cech

Wetin do kepa?

Adiwana:
Mount is literally the worst player on the pitch. What are you on about??

Ask Havertz10 that credited England's two goals against Germany to Mount's absence.
I am helping him complete his madness, by crediting England's 4 goals to Mount's presence.

4 goals.
Mount effect.

Let it be on record that England highest scoring match this competition had mount in the line up.
England scored Germany two, we were hearing that mount was the reason why they weren't scoring, now mount is on the pitch, they scored 3, mount factor. All of us can be mad.

Sulele04:
-If I take 100 men to your house in the midnight to kill you unprepared, is it not cowardice.

-Why not attack in the afternoon when people are not caught off-guard.

Let's see how it ends, but history will remember how the wahala started.
[s][/s]
So if Igboho starts his own violence, nobody should call him a terrorist.

Mind you Igboho is still walking free though, while a certain suplem leada is languishing behind bars.

National security is not a game, it is a serious matter that requires strategy (more reason I am angry with the government for escalating this things by making heros and martyr of those who threaten national unity), US killed Osama Bin Laden through stealth operations, the idea is to catch him off guard, Igboho needs to be careful, else he will learn the sad truth that you can't fight against government.

Anyway, I am just calling you out since you were boasting that igboho is untouchable everywhere, if na jazz him get, him go know say jazz get paygrade, I wonder if him jazz fit chop AK 47.

ShadowCracker:
Future of Bayern, and Germany.

Nagelsman to unleash him next season .

Government Don ready for your igboho, watch how he will run.
You think say igboho big pass Nnamdi Kanu?
This Government no get regard for anybody, that you thought igboho untouchable is funny.

BlueAngel444:
But belloti Lol, airmark you really wanted us, Chelsea to spend 70m and buy belloti then

We spent that much on morata, so?

is this true?
if it is, then why are northerners being demonize for the same thing darling civilized country allows.

Cant believe that I have never seen this before

what your one true love says about Mount.

Roy Keane believes those who criticise Chelsea and England midfielder Mason Mount are nothing more than "idiots".

Prior to England's World Cup qualifier against Poland on Wednesday evening, the Corkman was asked about suggestions that Jack Grealish and Phil Foden should start ahead of Mount.

"Well that is pretty important, that your manager likes you," Keane told ITV.

"Doesn’t matter what people outside the game think, there are a lot of idiots out there.

"Ultimately, I think the players pick the team and he has performed well enough for every manager to say ‘listen you are going to be in my starting line up’.

"He wants to be an all round midfielder. I never hear anything negative about him off the pitch, he seems a brilliant young kid, he has gone out on loan he has done it the hard way."

Keane had also been full of praise for the 22-year-old following England's win against Albania at the weekend, a game in which Mount scored his fourth international goal.

"I think he's outstanding," said Keane.

"He affects the game, he's always involved. His goal today was outstanding.

"The beauty is he makes the game look easy. He's always in control of the ball. Outstanding talent."


What say you?
