Go and assemble strange bed fellows and come and win the UCL let me see.
I repeat, Citeh's lack of UCL experience is a major determinant.

Inexperienced you say?

How many CL appearance does Kolo, Yaya, Kompany, CLichy, Nasri, Silva, Aguero, Dzeko need to become experienced?

You don start this your hemp business again
. . . . .and i am wondering how many year experience Manchester Citeh has had as a club in the UCL?
U don't expect players with different UCL experiences to gel and deliver result abi?
Seems the red light babes u've visiting for mental upgrade is out of town?

Fireworks!!!
I don't expect less in a United thread!

For me, last night's loss (yes it is a loss for me) was the height of complacency as well as individual gaffes.
Whether Rio is calling anyone to order or not, players are meant to know their roles and play it to the letter.
Understanding your team mates and know when to move and when not to is an essential aspect of being on the United pay roll.

I couldn't see the conservatism that has marked our UCL pay in the past seasons.
Maybe we thought it was Basle hence, they can be beaten no matter how bad we play; but we were found out.
The goals for me where avoidable and i am sure if we did the right thing, we should have cool.

I still think De Gea (though he is improving with every game) and Rio didn't organise their defence properly and call inexperienced or undisciplined full backs to order hence we being carved open countlessly. I mean we played with so much complacency and carefree attitude.
A bigger team would have r.aped us without protection.

Again, Carrick no matter his performance last night wasn't just meeting up. I just couldn't see the rapport with Anderson. He is better off paired with Flectcher. The attack was better but can someone ask Valencia to come borrow my left foot? Dude is a rod on with his left leg and i wonder how this is gelling with us!

All the same, the team all takes the blame. Complacent play is not for United in the UCL. I am still watching to see how we perform before knowing how to react on our early season performance!!

This season is the beginning of the rebuilding process so i am not expecting any much from the team.
However, we are still flat in the middle and need to find a formula for the big teams. We can't keep going thru the flanks. We can be blocked out!!

Young man,

Watch before you leap, love or no love.
If a woman can conceal pregnancy from her family for over 3 years, then i fear of the things she will be hiding from you
She is going to take decisions on that child after u must have married her without consulting you.

The father of that child will surely disturb your wife if not disrupt your marriage.
Pls press this woman further, there are a whole lot that you still need to learn that is still hidden from you the initial openness not withstanding.

I am of the view that you stay clear of this woman. In the worst scenario, let her notify her family of the presence of this babe and get the to sort it out with the father of that child. You will not enjoy this marriage is you decide to go on with things the way they are.

Call your woman, sit her down and press her to open up to you. If a woman can conceal pregnancy from her family as well as the resultant fruit, then for me, asking for trust is like looking for the devil in heaven!!

I haven't seen a United defence this complacent in a while!!
I just can't speak but i am glad it is happening now so they know that they are not invincible
and woe betide them if they don't top that group!!

Pls what is happening to Anserson? Is he missing Cleverly?

Hmm no word here? Ki lo n shele?

The way Streller and Frei are opening us up is really worrying.
Can't say what's wrong with Rio. I wouldn't know if it's safe to assume Jones pairs better with Evans
Can't seem to stepping in wella with Rio

We'll see how this goes.
By the way, good goals by Welbeck
Car TalkRe: What Are The Pros, Cons And Costs Of Buying Salvaged Cars? by Emperoh(m): 4:11pm On Sep 26, 2011
I have partly discussed this topic elsewhere and the paste below are excerpts of my contribution.
We\'ll start from here before i give my take o the topic

I decided to set up this thread to provide more insight to some of our buyers on the indices to consider
before taking a purchase decision. It is also a fall out of my own mistakes in pricing and convincing buyers.
I have learnt quite a lot and taught myself how to let go and help buyers in the process.
That is why lately, i dwell on first of all advising a buyer than grabbing a deal.
Other dealers inputs are welcome.

I started this business by accident but particularly fueled by my love for cars. A cousin in Swiss started shipping in
some low end cars through Cotonou and my decision to help him sell some eventually pushed me to start my own USA pre-order runs. It has been fun and eye opening as well. While at the same time, enriched my pockets in a decent measure.

But how i got into this business is not my raison d'etre. I just wish to seek other dealers insight and also gauge consumer insight into various reasons why they take a decision to purchase a car from America or in Nigeria.
Various buyers have accused me of parading expensive cars whereas that, being the source of most cars, purchasing from USA should be way cheaper than what is in Nigeria. Truth be told, that used to be my pricing strategy until the exchange rate spiraled out of control. From N118 - $1 to presently, N158 -$1 and then the influx of salvage cars from America; this one hit me most, i have lost count how many deals if have lost because of this and i am yet to device a fool proof strategy to bargain with clients in the face of these stiff oppositions.

In truth, the amount of 'tokunbo' cars in Lagos is alarming. I even wonder how i manage to make the sales i do most times in the face of such availability. The auto market is a buyers market. But i do love to inform buyers of something. Cars, are not cheap and the cheap ones have a story or two behind it. Therefore, i do love to educate you on the three main categories of used "tokunbo" cars in the market, Or would i say purchase options.

Number one on the list is your "clean title one user carfax" vehicle. This is every buyers dream but really, how cheap are they? They are not cheap. I will give you an instance. A 2003 Honda Accord with average mileage, one user and no accident history will cost you at least N1.8m but i sure have seen some going for N1.5m or N1.6m. Why is it so? This type of vehicle is a hot cake. Americans even look out for them and as they say, good soup na money make am. It also gives u peace of mind. But their pricing will put you off. You can hardly find this sort of car in Nigeria. Hardly!! The business man in us will tell u the gospel truth. The successful strategy in car dealing is pricing hence you have cut your cost and maximize as much profit in the sale. There are other categories that fall in this bracket but may never be as clean or 'neat as this one. Two or three user Carfax but with no accidents, those with minor but fixed accidents and re-certified by Carfax etc. These ones can come in a little cheaper but not as cheap as the other two categories.

Number two is the accidented but fixed in America cars: this is my business line and i will give you guys pictorial illustrations. I also use myself as an example for this category as this is what i deal on. Assuming you don't have the money for number one above but want something with the quality of number one, this is your best bet. But bear in mind, the cost implications is not that cheap. Reason: Labour is very expensive in USA. It costs about $1000.00 to fix a body work and bake a car in US. But what comes out as end product can be termed brand new anywhere anytime. How does this work; i go to the salvage auction and bid. Notable ones include Copart, IAA etc. If i win the bid, i truck to my body shop and do the necessary repairs. The final product gives me joy but i can assure you it is not your best bet if you are conscious of price. But it is better than number one above in terms inf pricing. However everything has to be to standards and even get re-certified before coming to Nigeria. This is my best bet but not for a buyer who wants it cheapest.

Option three is the buyers choice. But do they really know the quality of cars they are sold? I know most of them don't know about cars but i can give them a clue. Go to Berger or container discharging terminal at Tincan Wharf or National filling station and see what i am saying. I was there last saturday and i couldn't believe what we bring, fix and give to Nigerians to buy

BusinessRe: Segun Agbaje's Performance As Guarantee Trust Bank (GTB) MD by Emperoh(m): 10:57pm On Sep 25, 2011
Guys, let's be clear on these charges.

N3000.00 - Swift/Telex charge = Used to be N1000
1 percent of the funds being transferred or o.5% is less than $1k
5 percent VAT on the 1 percent above
and $25 offshore charges if u want the person to get an exact sum, pls ask them to deduct here.

I have been doing it this way for sometime now and my contacts have been getting the exact sum
However, the arbitrary increase in the SWIFT charge is quite painful to me and then the fact that dom account holders were never informed of this increase just like they did when they began charging 1percent cash management charge for withdrawals or deposit above N1m in cash!

However these issues, GTBank is still the only bank i can tolerate their nonsense. However, if i see better charges elsewhere with good service as GTB, i will move shocked shocked yes I will.

This is all about the media trying to find fault with the Man u thing.
Joe Hart makes mistake every other day same as David James when he was at Pompey and Spurs.

Dropping points at Brittanica is really a non issue for me.
I think we should be move appreciative of how Stoke 'gagged' us than how poor our players where.
There were just no spaces to hit the passes thru and they closed us down fast enough and their physical play.

Who's next? The roll must continue. There's no stopping us.
The losses and the draws will eventually come. When is what we can't say

Pls who is proposing Carrick and Giggs in the middle at the Brittania?
Hmmm, if u be coach na 6 point dem go deduct.

Two feather weights? E no go work. Stoke has improved, more mobile in the middle with
energy and crushing midfielders and u want to play two 'softies' against them? Doesn't make footie sense.
Let Ando and Fletcher do the job or Ando and Giggs. With that u get better protection for the back and then lose nothing going forward.

As for the OH issue, dude has NO reason whatsoever bad mouthing United.
This is a bix venture for crying out loud, they need to recoup investments. Who paid his bills, salaries itinerary and medical expenses?

If u are not giving back after the patience and all the worries, then that's not good enough for me.
He has no reason saying what he said. I still enjoyed his time with us though!!!

I am one of his biggst fans up till now
but the guy fall my hand with that comment.

It needless all the revelations he made and he's now sounding as if he's totally free of tendinitis.
I will think Fergie should just bone him but let's see what the Friday manager's briefing come on with.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Premier League Champions 2010/11 by Emperoh(m): 12:02am On Sep 23, 2011
Guys,

No be United again? There has to be something to be talked about in the media.
We are the news makers and any opportunity to take pot shots at what's working is fine by me as it keeps acknowledging what we are doing and that we are doing itwell.

However great ur analysis are, we need to know that this game plan ain't the way to go in Europe.
We need to do it the conservative unattractive way else we get punched.
But who cares about shots on target? as long as they don't go in and they keep making De Gea shine
Any predos for Britannia?

^^^^^^

That's assuming that Chelsea don't match us up per last season's UCL dominance and that Citeh all stars don't gel.
I really marvel at how Fergie has been able to build us up into a strong UCL power house.
I can barely see us below the top three position. We are struggling with RM for 2nd pos.
Rewind 5 -6yrs back and remember how we struggled with the quarters and could barely make it out of groups
despite our dominance of the local scene.
Our play is giving some sort of credence to the fact that the EPL is matching up. Can remember him saying his team's matured now. I really marvel at what's he's been able to do. We barely concede goals and even win tough away fixtures.

But as he said, Barca is the challenge and i am salivating to see how he meets up to given UEFA's bias towards English sides. His mind games readily come to mind.

BTW, heated argument. Folks believe that RM is way better than we are. Have argued myself hoarse
But these goons read a whole lot into the CR7 and JM factors. Wetin u think?

Methinks having beaten him at Inter and the undisciplined back of RM we can nick them all round.
My fear is keeping the front guys quiet and then who wins the battle in the middle.
Their full backs are as indisciplined as anything and i keep imagining Nani and Young shaiting and pissing all over Marcelo and Sergio Ramos!!

Wouldn't mind such a fixture. But i am wary JM has a more deadly arsenal in RM than in Inter

sneijder is never coming. . . .

he won't be eligible in europe and that is exactly what we would have needed him for. so no january signing.
by next summer, he would be 28. too old for david gill.
Not with a reduced transfer fee and wages.
Inter will be forced to sell. Moreover, a two year contract won't be bad. We need this dude
cos i can't even see us going beyond the semis of the UCL.

I guess it means Sneider's deal is a matter of when then?
January won't ok for me as he is cup tied by then. I need him just for the UCL that's all
and if he can't play, then what's the need. We wait till next summer!

I expect citizen journalists like the dude who posted and my humble self as well everyone here to stand up

I wonder if they give reasons when they share the common till or loot the treasury dry.
Keep wallowing in mediocrity. Tomorrow u go talk say militants do this one or Boko haram did the other

Another is checking if Leeds were just below par or a combination of the two.
Who says Berba is no good. . . .can u imagine him playing as centre half
What's next for him? GK?

Good game though. . . . Owen could well be the one to marshall these sort of games
and then see if he's good to win himself a CC trophy with the lads

dude's ok!!

Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez's ankle injury is not as bad as first feared, says his agent.

The 23-year-old had to be substituted after a challenge by Ashley Cole in United's 3-1 win over Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson feared the Mexican may be out for two weeks, but Eduardo Hernandez said: "[The injury is] just a bump, nothing more.

"I expect him to be training without incident on Wednesday."

After the game, Ferguson said: "It was a shocking tackle. Ashley Cole is very reckless at times. Being committed, you can sometimes go over the edge a bit.

"We don't know how Hernandez will be. His leg is very numb."

Hernandez limped off and was sent for tests on Monday but his agent added: "They were looking for a fracture, that's why they ran those tests on him."

United face Leeds in the Carling Cup on Tuesday and Stoke in the Premier League on Saturday.
