@Dominique - Special greetings to you!

Shuaibu Amodu has explained his reasons for excluding players from the domestic league in his current stint as Super Eagles coach, blaming the 'poor standards' and a 'bastardised' League for stunting player development.

The Eagles manager has faced a groundswell of public and media criticism over his decision to leave out players from the home league for the majority of his current stint, and only inviting three in his African Nations Cup squad, two of which were practically forced down his throat by the NFF.

But the coach took time to explain his decision to Sports Editors on Wednesday in Lagos.

"First of all, I don't like to go into this whole debate because it reduces our football to home-based versus foreign-based and makes us look discriminatory against the home-based players.

"From my history, I have worked through the league, coaching the likes of Shooting Stars and BCC Lions when Nigerian League Football was at its best and I was privileged to work with some great professionals.

"These days, I don’t need to go around to see that the standard of our League has fallen. Facilities are poor, fans stay away from the stadia, players and officials are owed for months and years and all the things that should make good football are lacking.

"All these things affect the psyche, mentality and development of players, and it will take an extended, long term planning to rehabilitate these players."

Amodu went on to say that when he took the job, he gave the NFF a blueprint for development of a home-based team, but was told to focus on World Cup qualification.

"Last season, I personally went to watch a few League games and when I came in, I presented a program in black and white for a home-based team.

"But I was told to concentrate on the World Cup qualification and let (Okey) Emordi handle the home-based to avoid distraction.

"Unfortunately, that team failed to qualify for the African Nations Championships for home-based players. If they had qualified, they would have been playing some games and would have had some exposure which would have helped."

He promised that there would be a home-based camp after the African Nations Cup, but maintained that it would be a long-term project.

"After the Nations Cup, we will call a home-based camp and work with them.

"I will be happy to find a quality home-based player because then I can take the credit for discovering him.

"But it has to be a long term project."

Dutch Cup: Suarez stars as Ajax hit fourteen

Luis Suarez scored six goals as 17-time winners Ajax beat amateur side WHC 14-1 in the fourth round of the KNVB Beker.

The Amsterdam side are third in the Eredivisie and will have been looking to progress with ease.

Marko Pantelic struck first after 18 minutes with his second coming five minutes later with the remainder of the goals for Martin Jol's side coming from Suarez, doubles from Ismail Aissati and Kennedy Bakircioglu, a strike by Demy De Zeeuw and an own goal by Jurjen Bosch. Jolf Stel scored the solitary goal for WHC on the stroke of half-time with his side already 6-0 down.

Michael Schumacher targets eighth Formula 1 title

Michael Schumacher says he intends to crown his Formula 1 comeback by challenging for the 2010 title.

The seven-time champion announced his return for 2010 on Wednesday with Mercedes, the renamed Brawn GP team.

Despite three years out of the sport, he insists he can threaten the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button - the 2008 and 2009 world champions.

"I have won the title seven times and the team won both titles last year, so what do you expect," said the German.

Schumacher, 41 on 3 January, added: "Now Mercedes are team owners you cannot expect anything else other than the world title. That is what we aim for but we have to deliver and that is our job.

Nna men, I just have to start watching the NFL more.

[flash=428,328]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yGxB7gsAFE[/flash]

Yes, Wilder is the son of former NFL star running back James Wilder. But no, we can't recall Wilder - or any other NFL player - doing this. On the way to the end zone, Wilder knocks over three defenders simultaneously, as if they were bowling pins. He gets turned around, but that doesn't matter, he spins out of it and works his way down the field for the score.

And let's be clear, this was a top-notch defense from as good a high school football state as there is.

You guys are cracking me up!

See campaign strategy.

I don't know about this governor but it is clear that he is not a very good one.
Them boys deserve some kind of award for bravery.

Michael Schumacher signs up for F1 return with Mercedes

Seven-times Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher will come out of retirement to race for Mercedes next year, BBC Sport understands.

The German, who will be 41 on 3 January, has signed a contract and the deal will be announced imminently.

Schumacher will partner compatriot Nico Rosberg in the team that won the drivers' and constructors' titles in 2009 in its former guise as Brawn.

His spokeswoman Sabine Kehm said she could not make any comment.

The German newspaper Bild is reporting that Schumacher signed a one-year deal and it is likely he will have the option to continue beyond 2010 if his returns goes well.

Schumacher will reportedly earn £6.2m after signing up to reunite with Mercedes team principal Ross Brawn, who masterminded all seven of his titles, the first two with Benetton in 1994-5 and the subsequent five with Ferrari from 2000-4.

i agree you shouldnt have made the comments against her and sincerely i have nothin against Crizzle

i know how difficult it is to satisfy all of us but all we did yesterday was to give her insights into how she wont be seen as biased.

I dont think it was crizzle that deleted our comments cos i know how she deals with things; she'll rather respond to the comments than delete

i know her for that

waiting for the MOD award thing

And Yes Crizzle na strong Chikala . I'm sure she understands that things do get out of hand sometimes. It shouldn't be a big deal.

tkb417:

pls, how you air our grieviances against some over zealous mods on this forum?

our points and criticisms (even urs) against Crizzle were deleted

This forum will never grow if this acts continues

this is why some whites feel we can never progress in this continent

its a shame

tkb417, I don't even know how to respond to this but I will try.
You will agree that this election palava was meant to be fun with nothing attached but things merely got out of hand due to the approach taken by the mod. I'm sure she never meant it that way.
On my own part, I guess I shouldn't have criticized her in public. The Mod in me "should" have at least kept quiet (since really, this election of a thing is NOTHING) but the ordinary poster in me could not resist. It was a bad move on my part. If I couldn't stand by her, I could have just stayed away from the thread.

At the end of the day, you will realise that we are all different.
Hope you understand.

@Jalether, did I hear you say knee jerk reaction? I wonder what you would have done if you were a manager? Sell your players once they make mistake?    

True Cech has made very costly errors just as he done brilliantly well this season. _{I understand that's what he is paid to do}. That said, there are no better keepers out there of late and to this you have confirmed.

Knee jerk reactions are never justifiable 'cos you stand the risk of coming off as someone you does not believe in his team.

Cristalz:
@Bluediva
Dearie, CR7 is out there in the real world, not Nairaland.
You really can't make a comparison.
This section of ours is a lot wider than a pitch.  .  .it's a public forum with rules and all.

Thanks for your suggestion, but if I'm to do this over again, I won't change a thing.
Giving y'all a long list is something I deliberately did not do because I want whoever actually deserves it to win.
I don't want a scenario where a favorite with the people gets the award 'cos he/she is a favorite, and not 'cos he/she deserves it.
That would be purely unfair, and I'm not in support of that.

Whoever deserves it should get it, not by popular demand, but by merit.
So I picked those that honestly merit it.  .  .and the rest is up to y'all to pick the best choice.

Only then will my mod conscience rest well at night.

Highly and very contradictory!

Una dey mind Ibime? MEND spokesman dey yarn puff-puff!

Are you blaming the weather or the formation? Take a stand.

@Jalether. . .Correct me if I'm wrong but you also said we need to change our defense, no?

jalether:
Your stance on buying 3 or more players as the solution to the teams crisis on the pitch, is highly contradictory, you clearly acknowledge the teams

excellent performance from both ends of the pitch, just over a month ago with the SAME CROP OF PLAYERS, if i could remember vividly, Aguero, Gourcuff et al

were not in the Chelsea line up when we were decimating teams or were they?

Don't you know how to read in between the lines? Do you realistically think we can last 2 seasons with our current squad? The basis of my analysis was that formation is not our problem but how you execute it.
For the record: I said 3 and not 3 or more. Besides, I have not even suggested any player for us to buy.

@Ibime, but we were scoring lots of goals (and kept clean sheets) even with the diamond formation, yes?
How do you explain that?

Why oh why should be break the lads spirit? Do you want him to burn out?

E se O Jesu!

Nice.
