Sports › The Agony Of A Frustrated Arsenal Fan by gammarays(op): 9:02pm On Aug 21, 2021
I’ve been an Arsenal fan since I knew what was called football. In my house, my father and I love the club to a fault. We’ve been faithful to the core though we enjoy watching good football from other clubs.

We loved Arsenal because of their passing football which we nicknamed “Arsenal pattern”. We had quality players like Thiery Henry who was nicknamed “IGWE”, Robert Pires, Gilberto Silva, Patrick Viera, Fabregas aka Fabrepass and so many of them couched by the Legendary Arsene Wenger.

Arsenal was a competitive team then and among the famed Big four clubs in England. We won the Premier League without losing a match, Won many Fa cups and reached the Champions league finals only to be beaten by Barcelona- Oh what a sad day!�


Well it has been a long time and things have changed. In fact it has changed from bad to worse and the club is living on past glory. To be sincere the decay started from the time of the professor, the club was complacent and didn’t want to build the team from scratch or buy quality players. Promising youngsters were sold and replaced with their subpar versions. We also bought pensioners to fill up sensitive positions.

Well you know the outcome, a horrible performance on the pitch and lack of drive for trophies. It’s like a local bus driver who believes that his bus should always be making money for him and he doesn’t spend enough to put it in good shape. The vehicle will break down sometimes and all he has to do is complain. He does a little surface repairs just the keep the vehicle moving. The vehicle still moves but it’s not in top shape again and can’t compete with others.

Arsenal moved from a premier league competitor to a top 4 competitor which we always celebrated during the later stages of Wenger’s career. From there, we moved to Europa league competitors and still missed the target last season. Were in the Conference league and who knows, maybe we will be fighting relegation battles soon.

It’s a shame that players see Arsenal as a retirement club and come to collect their pensions while arsenal players jump ship to other clubs to have the taste of a real trophy. How come the transfer policy has been same all this while and nobody cares? Don’t they look at other clubs and emulate their success?

Imagine Chelsea of yesterday! Chelsea has 2 champions league and Europa trophies while we still boast of yesterday’s FA cup! Who do us this thing sef?� Imagine I can’t engage in football banters with my friends because I’m an Arsenal fan. Who give dog mouth when lions, tigers and leopards dey shout? In fact the word patience should be replaced with Arsenal but Arsenal dogs don’t end up eating the fastest bone, rather they eat biscuit bones.

What about the high blood pressure suffered by Arsenal fans? We are now called shock absorbers. My Baba don tire for the club sef and He once refused to subscribe for cable TV for some period because of high BP.

I’m really tired and something must be done. I may follow players like Henry, Fabregas, Chamberlain, Giroud and others to jump ship and have the test of trophies. Who no like better thing?

Advise me guys!

Sports › Now That The Football Season Has Resumed by gammarays(op): 10:55pm On Aug 20, 2021
I’m a guy and I love football. There just few guys that dislike football anyway. Since childhood I enjoy watching football matches especially the EPL and Champions league. It has been a source of happiness and drama for guys.
You need to see the joy on our faces when we win and the anger when were on the losing side. The feeling is unmatched and we look forward to it.
I love watching football in a viewing center with fellow guys because of the drama. You need to see us jam-packed in a place shouting and throwing banters at each other.

Chelsea fans are the most notorious and they’re at loggerhead with Man Utd fans mostly. Give it to them, they’re the most vibrant. We have the United, Liverpool and Arsenal fans who feel like they have better histories and very few fans of teams like Madrid, Barca and Juventus. The rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi fans is another topic for another day.

Well it has been long since we watched good football due to the break. We had the Euro and Olympics but we weren’t satisfied. Weekends were boring and I had to keep myself busy with other activities yet it wasn’t sufficient.

Many transfers happened with many clubs doing good business. Many players switched clubs and moved their families to their new locations. Ajo mmuo Messi is in Psg now with his rival Ramos. They got Donaruma and Wijnaldum too all for free. They got the best deals and will shake Europe this season all things being equal. Mau Utd got Sancho, Omenuko Lukaku is back to Chelsea and City bought Grealish for 100 million bucks (Choi!). My club Arsenal bought their signature players as usual, like say na ancestral curse.

Match week 1 ended with great results for united, Chelsea and Liverpool. Other clubs like Everton, West ham did well and Tottenham shocked a Grealished City. Well my club didn’t disappoint the village spirits as they lost to new boys Brentford , Tufiakwa!

Well the weekends are going to be active once again and I look forward to every match day. I know I’ll always keep quiet when others are arguing and I dare not throw banters at those bullies especially Chelsea fans because I know the result will be brutal.

The present season has a lot to offer from England to the rest of Europe. At the end of match week 4 last season, Everton topped the league table. Who do you think will top this time at the end of match week 4?

Answers on the blogs comment section and there’ll be a new portable Bluetooth Speaker gift for the first correct answer. Comments after this Monday night are not eligible.

Yes, you can get 2800 if the seller has old stock. No place is cheaper and affordable in SE compared to Onitsha. Cost of accommodation, feeding, transportation, education(Pri & Sec). The only challenges bedeviling the city is deplorable road and too much agbero. I grew up in Fegge–Onitsha before my people moved to Awka.
I guessed right, like I'll be coming to onitsha to buy stuffs

3Kg Gas cylinder in the whole of Kebbi is 8500–9000K.

3Kg cylinder is 3000–3500 in the East.

Foodstuff is cheaper in Onitsha compared to Abuja, Lagos.
Where is 3kg 3000? Maybe onitsha cos Akwa and Owerri is damn expensive

Properties › Re: Wall SCREEDING Question Needs Answers Please. by gammarays(m): 9:09am On Jul 12, 2021

Satin was used. Marks are pronounced. I want a smoother finish.
Depends on the smoothness, if you want something very smooth. Bruise the wall and rescreed with much top bond ie gum. It's more expensive but will give you a smooth finish if the screeding is done well.
Aside that,just use Matt paint to recoat the wall twice. It's cheaper and will cover the mess to an extent but not like the first option.

I'm looking for a perfect smooth finish. The previous painter made a mess of the wall. Excessive roller marks/stippling.
If the previous paint used was a satin or silk paint and the marks are not pronounced. Use a strong Matt paint to recoat it twice. The first coat should dry properly before applying the second.

lacicrips:
I just had to resurrect this thread as you seem like a pro on this. I'm repainting an already screeded and satin-painted wall. So here is my question: is it possible to mix the screeding material with the paint of your choice so you won't need to paint afterwards? I'm thinking since the screeding color and my choice of paint color is almost same. I like slightly off-white/dirty-white.
If the old screeding and painting is in good state. Better repaint with the colour of your choice.
No need mixing it with the screeding material.
You can use a good quality off white Matt paint. Intercolor, dulux and likes.
Screeding material don't go well with silk paints.

Don't mind them
Before the match,it was we have 3 tireless Ferraris in Werner,Ziyech and James.
Now they're blaming the coach for playing them.
Let's say they lost the match without Ziyech and Werner, it would have been why would tuchel leave these tireless marksmen to play Pulisic and Giroud ���

Make dem no worry, no Werner and Ziyech against Manchester city. We'll hear another story too.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Chad's Army Dissolves Parliament, Government. Imposes Curfew, Shuts Borders by gammarays(m): 8:12pm On Apr 20, 2021
You guys are really good. Many speculations here. I'll have to outline these :

1. If it's a coup targeted by the Army against President idris, his son won't be spared.

2. Can Idris junior plot a successful coup against his father without facing his father's loyalists? His father has been in power for over 20 years and there's no recent record of fractures between the Chadian army.

3. Idris has been grooming his son to take over from him right from onset no wonder his son is a general at a young age. Let's also remember that most African countries run a dictatorship system with a democratic face.

4. The Chadian army still hold Idris in high esteem that's why they installed his son as acting president. They're loyal to the core.

5. Chad is a small country with little resources and don't have the luxury of many armed forces and weaponry that's why the president will be present in battle always unlike other countries where there are personnel and weaponry to do that. That answers the question of why a whole president will always be active in battles.

6. The attack on the president which led to his death was an external attack. It was targeted at the armed forces and the president. The attack was coordinated and sponsored by external bodies same externals coordinating terrorism in Chad, niger, Nigeria and co. A lot has been going on in these regions making the armed forces to be overwhelmed.

7. The Chadian army in her wisdom decided to cordon off external influence on Chad by shutting down borders, parliament and so on. The best way to maintain this onslaught against terrorism is through a full fledged military action. Not what is obtainable in Nigeria where politicians have a field day and has politicised everything including the armed forces to the detriment of her citizens. These sponsors of terrorism has infiltrated Nigeria to the extent they have the highly placed on their payroll.

Chadians knows the best for themselves and I pray for them in this trying period.
