Hope is all we have. We should believe in our team.
Father I pray, make a way.

Just thinking loud. . .why are matches in group B played before group A?

Smokie Norful - I understand

.

Fred Hammond & Radical for Christ - You Are The Living Word.

What about those who appointed (selected) them? 

Darwin Hobbs- Better is One day.

Kurt Carr- If I tell God.

My bad but I refuse to accept.
Are we now to say that the defenders had no fault in this?

F/Eagles vow to redeem image against Tahiti
By Mercy Jacob in Cairo

Just like wounded lions, the Flying Eagles have vow to stake their life and redeem their image in their match today against Tahiti after losing their first and second match in the group stage in the on-going World Youth Championship (WYC) in Egypt.
The Coach Samson Siasia led-team have not been able to record any goal since the start of the championship, have promise to spill their blood on the pitch and redeem their image and that of the coach.

Speaking to Daily Sunsport in Cairo, Hesinborg of Sweden player, Yakubu Alpha and Uche Okafor, the Kaduna United FC keeper whose mistake led to the first Spanish goal in Flying Eagles’ match on Monday says they are set to correct their past mistake.

“It is difficult to explain what is actually wrong with us, and is unfortunate that things are not working as planed. We know we have brought disgrace to our country, but we are bent on correcting it in our match against Tahiti to ensure we redeem our image and that of the coach which was highly rated before now.

“We have overcome the shock of the last two matches and the spirit on camp is high we are determine to go all out to right all we have gotten wrong and ensure we win our match convincingly and wait for all the losers probably we might be among the best losers.

“We came to Egypt with a mission of bringing the trophy back to Nigeria. Though we have not won any match, we believe it is still possible that is why we want to play our match with Tahiti like wounded lions and ensure we get that three points and wait for out come of other results. All we are pleading to Nigerians to still be patient with us may be that is the process God wants us to go through before getting to the finals

For real? Was it the keeper's fault or the defenders trying to play the offside trap?

You guys get time oo. Come May we will all know wassup!

We can only sit back and watch the matter unfold.

Couldn't help it. . .sorry guys! 

RIGHT TO LORD IT ,  Redknapp says Adebayor did nothing wrong in celebrating his goal in front of Arsenal fans

EMMANUEL ADEBAYOR faces a grilling from the Football Association today over his 'controversial' goal celebration against Arsenal.
What on earth was controversial about it?

He took a load of abuse from Arsenal fans, scored against them, ran the length of the pitch to the away end and dropped to his knees as if to say to them 'I've scored, 'ave some of that'.

I think the FA are wrong to charge him in the first place. But, then again, I think the whole goal celebration issue has got way out of hand.

Look at Carlos Tevez on Monday night. He scores against his old club West Ham and then says he refused to celebrate because of his love for the club and its supporters.

What a load of old tosh.

Tevez was at West Ham for a year, he hardly played a game until the end of that one season, after which he quickly moved off to Manchester United.

I couldn't for the life of me see why he didn't want to punch the air in recognition of a goal. Why shouldn't he?

Inside he must have been delighted.

If you don't want to score goals, don't play football. It's incredible.

Alan Pardew didn't fancy him and Alan Curbishley only brought Tevez out of mothballs at Upton Park with about 10 games to go because the club was in danger of relegation.

Now he's some sort of folk hero in the East End and he says some part of him will 'always be a Hammer'. Rubbish.

Tevez has not exactly got claret and blue blood flowing through his veins.

Yet Frank Lampard - who did nothing wrong except join the club at 12 years old, score goals and then get sold for Ј11million to make the club a vast profit - gets slaughtered.

It's all topsy turvy to me.

I remember Rio Ferdinand returned to West Ham with Leeds and scored against his old club at Upton Park.

He did not celebrate - but then I signed Rio for West Ham when he was 14.

Maybe he thinks some part of him will always be a Hammer and at least he has a right to.

But Tevez? Do me a favour.

He should have scored the goal and then celebrated like he wanted to inside.

He has no reason to be on the same side as West Ham fans.

Adebayor got dogs' abuse from the kickaround before the game at Eastlands right until the end of the game.

What did he do wrong?

He never racially abused anyone, he never made rude gestures which lots of fans do.

He signed for Arsenal for Ј7m and left for Ј25m. So he put in good service and made Arsenal an Ј18m profit. Hardly a criminal act is it?

Yet he is in the dock for the way he gave it back to his tormentors - by scoring a goal.

Even when players are in a good mood the modern goal celebration has gone just a bit too far.

Look at any lower league game on the TV and when you see one of those lads score, the dance routine is unbelievable.

All very rehearsed, co-ordinated and spectacular.

I'm convinced most of them spend more time practising their dancing than they do on their finishing after training. _{*This one is really funny     *}

Throw in all this 'baby rocking' stuff when, wait for it, a man becomes a father and it's all a bit much lads.

When I was a player at Bournemouth, John Bond signed a left winger called Alan Groves. He was an ex-lorry driver, 6ft something and hard as they come.

When Bondy left and Trevor Hartley took over as boss, he sold big Al to Oldham - a move which did not go down well as Grovesy loved Bournemouth.

Next season we went to Oldham and Alan beat us on his own and we lost by four.

Alan scored a goal, then afterwards got the ball and dribbled sideways along the half-way line.

We were astonished and just watched him dribble across the pitch, until he got to our dugout.

He booted the ball into it as hard as he could, almost taking Hartley's head off with it.

Now that's what I call a goal celebration. ^{*Lovely  *}

What is it with refs nowadays?

[quote author=pres-elect link=topic=324259.msg4641046#msg4641046 date=1254321869]that is the issue. the republicans had the presidency and did what they wanted to do. they had the tax cuts, privatised the iraq war, had huge oil contracts to their cronies, did their thing while the congress was in thier hands. now democrats have congress, with 60votes( the republicans didnt have 60 votes in their own time, yet they did their thing) but democrats cant pass a healthcare reform bill. something that majority of americans want.

with everything that rumsfield did, it was only after democrats regained congress that bush fired him. yet, with 60 voted in the senate, obama hysterically lays off members of his administration at the slightest cough from glenn beck. even acorn, acorn that has been a massive recruiter for democratic voters went under attack from glenn beck and without investigation, the US senate cut off funding for acorn. did anybody cut off funding for the military after abu graib? stuff gets investigated first. u dont act based of videos from fox news affiliates and even as much as those videos are real, the people in those videos should be prosecuted, and the whole acorn investigated and punished accordingly, and not the whole ''punishment'' even b4 investigation. shame on democrats.

now they cant even vote for public option. hmmmn . . . . . i think the democrats will loose seats in 2010. and obama may leave by 2012, . . . . . . palin may be the president . . . with all her wisdom[/quote]erm erm. . .my bad but are you saying the highlighted can be categorised as achievements?

Good people of Nigeria, Mo ki yin oo!

[quote author=pres-elect link=topic=327288.msg4641148#msg4641148 date=1254322641]your idea of racism is myopic compared to mine. you think racism is only towards foreigners. that is called xenophobia. it is just a fragment of racism. to me, any dislike,maltreatment or unfairness towards another person, based on the person's demographic identity is racism, period if u hate me b/c i'm igbo, you are racist. some people will call that tribalism, i call it racism. if u hate me b/c i'm from mbaitolu local govt you are racist. if u hate me b/c i'm anglican/xtian or my accent/dialect or my height/weight/ state of origin/name it is racism. you dont have to get a political party to prove it.

say what u like about foreign countries and parties. only in nigeria have i seen, or heard, thast thousands of people have been maimed/killed b/c of their language or religion for over 50yrs and still counting. i know a lot has happened in europe in the past, but only in nigeria is it still happening in the thousands. h[/quote][quote author=pres-elect link=topic=327288.msg4641269#msg4641269 date=1254323458]over 50yrs and the hatred still goes on. the killings continue, for no other reason than demographic identity . . . religion/tribe. over 50yrs, another one may explode somewhere b4 the end of the yr.
you tell me, in which other country does this happen.
if this is not nracsim, tell me what it is [/quote]You must be stupid.

First, can you define race? Google may assist. That is your assignment.

chic2pimp:
I swear down if Zurich beat Milan,the ultras go protest tire 2 morrow. Berlusconi is a fool. The guy thinks Milan is arsenal where years of trophylessness can be tolerated. We are Milan. 7 times european champs not some shitty club.

Ategun ti fe. . .a si ti ri furo ediye!

edoyad:
Whether you've won it before or not, Arsenal have been in two semis in Five years and you have not. I wish some one could go and dig up Nottingham Forest's corpse and show you (mind you i have nothing against forest who are the reason behind the red in our jersey.)
Continue living in the past you hear. I dont understand, if Arsenal are getting the stick for not winning the title after 5 years why shouldn't we hang Bayern for not reaching the semis after 7 years ? Mind you i said reach semis not even win the darn thing.

Is this some kind of achievement ? if it is then in that case Chelsea senior you arses . Strange arse-anal fans all of a sudden stopped believing in history? No be you lots dey scream history up and down? Now you are saying it doesn't matter Bayernnazi won the UCL before?
Dayok, take cover! 

duduspace:
We don win all the cups worth winning apart from the UCL and we are poised to win it cos we don't dwell on past glories unlike some peeps I know.

This is simply not true! Arse-anal fans na wa ooo!  Need I remind you about your history lessons and ranting on the Chelsea thread? ! 

Hmmm certainly not the best performance. . .we need to be ready on Sunday.
3 pts and that is about the most important thing now.
Good night good people.

That has always been his problem.

even malouda sef shot straight at the keeper.

Are these guys drunk?

na wa oo
