European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by grandjedi(m): 7:46am On Oct 30, 2013 |
Na wah o... See the multitude of haterz!!! "Ota po ju enemy lo!" Chelsea beating Arsenal is nothing strange, neither does it mean that Chelsea will even win the same Capital One cup. Peeps that had been secretly afraid of the way Arsenal seems to be getting better this season after years of being in the doldrums now have a chance to rejoice at a seeming downfall. But that is football, the season still offers many other opportunities and football is unpredictable. Your own team too may be down tomorrow. On to next game... COYG!!! Victoria Concordia Crescit!!! |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Arsenal Vs Tottenham Hotspur (1 - 0 ) On 1st September 2013 by grandjedi(m): 6:13pm On Sep 01, 2013 |
Arsenal certainly played with heart and deserved to win this game. However, it remains to be seen whether Wenger will add some muscle and flesh to this team, or else the end of the season will be characterized by the usual "roforofo" fight for 4th place 1 Like |

Romance / Re: Pet Names And Phrases Guys Use On Girls And Girls Totally Detest by grandjedi(m): 11:19pm On Mar 25, 2010 |
akigbemaru: Doing it the old school way - Ibadi aran, eyinju ege, eyin kun j'owo, apon b'epo re awe l'orun bi okoto awe l'ewa bi oguro amo l'awo bi oojo (Actually did write something similar to this to a lady I was interested in once - she absolutely LOVED it!!!) Pet names have been used since time immemorial and will continue to be used as long as relations exist between man and woman. Like some have said above, it really depends on who is calling you by the name, the level of closeness and what you perceive their motives to be for using the name. PERIOD ! |
Sports / Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by grandjedi(m): 3:40pm On Feb 28, 2010 |
@ Emmy Boy, My brother, till tomorrow that "missing" money will remain "missing" in the pockets of our football administrators. Until the NFF is cleaned out our football will not make progress. |
Sports / Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by grandjedi(m): 9:41pm On Feb 27, 2010 |
If you have decided to eat a frog why not choose one that is well-laden with eggs? In my opinion this Lager beer , sorry, Lagerback guy is an average (read "mediocre" coach who might not have so much to offer judging from his antecedents. Not also forgetting the fact that there is a ready excuse for failure as regards the short time frame to prepare for the world cup. I don't want to sound negative but why would the NFF go for such a technical adviser who may not be much better than Bertie Vogts? I don't really believe it was just bc as they said "he knew a lot about Nigerian players and problems with our football since 2002" (after all our REAL problem is the FA). A friend of mine even has this theory that the NFF hired the guy that was prepared to concession part of his $1.3 million monthly wages to the fat cats of the glass house |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Stoke City Vs Arsenal [1 - 3] On Saturday, 27th Feb by grandjedi(m): 9:10pm On Feb 27, 2010 |
I really feel for A. Ramsey. That was a horrible injury Hope he's able to come out of it and live up to his potential as a player. I'm glad the boys pulled together and won the game with TV5 scoring the third goal (similar to one which Sol could have scored earlier). I just hope Wenger and the boys are able to continue putting their hearts into the remaining games because the league hasn't been won yet. |
Sports / Re: African Nations Cup: Egypt Vs Nigeria - (3-1) by grandjedi(m): 12:56pm On Jan 13, 2010 |
And so the CHICKENS, ( sorry, the Eagles ) have come home to roost with a dismal performance and result. I think we're too optimistic in Nigeria else we shouldn't have been surprised at this kind of result from a team of players who couldn't care less (except for a few of them), an inept technical crew with a mediocre, incompetent coach as well as an FA that is generally into football for the money alone and by all means possible. Sorry, before I forget, throw in with that combination a runaway ( ?brain-damaged) president. It might not be the best to judge a competition from the first match but is there honestly anything Amodu can do beyond what he has in his brain? Qualifying for the world-cup was a real miracle and not from Amodu's expertise. Or can the players suddenly jettison their laissez-faire, partying and womanizing like-no-tomorrow attitude and make a real team similar to the final qualifier in Kenya? For now let's do "siddon look". And hope Benin and Mozambique won't use us to shine too like the Pharoahs who last beat us in the AFCON in 1963 but were given an opportunity yesterday. However, if we're playing Argentina first in the world cup and we did like this in our first AFCON game against an average Egyptian team, we can already know what to expect. |
Sports / Re: Nigeria (2) Vs Tunisia (2) on Sunday 6th September by grandjedi(m): 7:29pm On Sep 06, 2009 |
Our basic problem is our FA- or rather our lack of it. Following the principle of cause and effect an inept/incompetent FA resulted in a coach like Am odu being forced on us. This inevitably trickled down to team selection and attitude of players. Until the right people are in our FA we will have to continue with this kind of mess. |
TV/Movies / Re: What Was The Last Movie You Watched? by grandjedi(m): 2:43pm On Apr 08, 2009 |
Interestingly, the last 2 movies I saw had Chiwetel Ejiofor in different roles ; 1) FOUR BROTHERS- Old movie. The end reminded me of Denzel in Training Day (of course it was released way before TD ) 2)RED BELT - Martial arts stuff. Not bad. Still haven't seen American Gangster which had both Chiwetel and Denzel. Maybe this weekend if I can squeeze out time bc I've already outlined some long overdue movies like Hancock, Hulk 2 and one or two comedies. |

Religion / Re: A Question For Tithe Payers by grandjedi(m): 5:21pm On Mar 23, 2009 |
@ Image 123, Thanks, bro. Sometimes if we're not careful our focus can be shifted from performing the good works that God had called us into expending time and energy on endless arguements that don't advance Christ. I'm not saying it's wrong to argue or debate but if it becomes a never-ending-story with nothing constructive and tending to strife; then let's watch out. When we start stereotyping pastors and castigating them everytime we talk about money, then something is wrong somewhere. This is not saying there aren't bad eggs or fakes. But I have come across and I'm still seeing many men of God who are such blessings that can't be quantified. So I think we shouldn't lump things together to the point where if you say "pastor" the first thing people will think of is "dishonest, crooked swindling rogue". My pastor and many, many others out there are very honourable men - and a call to the ministry is a high calling. Let's be careful not to make profane that which is holy. @ Akolawole, Important contribution there my brother. I also think a good understanding of the High Priestly role of Christ is vital in this issue. I may physically pay my tithes to my local church, but it is my High Priest in the heavenly tabernacle that receives it. He is the One I'm honouring, not man. But at the same time it is used to cater to the physical needs of the ministers and other charitable causes. |
Religion / Re: A Question For Tithe Payers by grandjedi(m): 6:17pm On Mar 19, 2009 |
@ Topic, Hmm, people are still waging "Holy War" on this issue of whether to tithe or not (hope we don't get any suicide bombers ). Whatever side of the fence you're on concerning this issue, let's know that it's not the most important thing about Christianity. Moreover everyone should have a right to do what they want with their hard-earned or (easily-stolen cash as the case may be ). IMHO this is just one of such cases of "doubtful disputations" that Paul was talking about. Let's put this issue behind us already. As long as you're saved by the blood of the Lamb we're brothers. Let me give my 10% and you use yours however you like. JESUS is still LORD!!! |
TV/Movies / Re: Hollywood: Favourite Movies, Actors and Awards. Tinseltown reviews & Gossip by grandjedi(m): 12:44pm On Mar 03, 2009 |
Hi, Maxine. How've you been? Talking about Slumdog Millionaire, I heard it had some true life elements of a project called "Hole in the Wall" or so which was about encouraging kids to acquire knowledge and have fun with computers placed in different locations like ATMs. Saw a bit of the movie 2 days ago, don't know when I'll eventually get time to see the whole thing. But I think it will be good, even though Max only commended the music and directing ( maybe bc a certain rugged looking Brit didn't star in the movie ? ) |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Arsenal(0) Vs Fulham(0) On Saturday 28th February by grandjedi(m): 5:29pm On Feb 27, 2009 |
@ Po Deep, Are you an Arsenal fan? If so, the day you "learn" is the day you cease being a fan. Even though the team hasn't been exactly on fire this season all fans should still keep on "fanning" their embers to flames . Anything otherwise and you become an independent observer. So pls let's not give up on them just yet because this is the best run they've had all season even if it's a far cry from what we're used to. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Champions League Challenge Between Sauron & Dayokanu! Prize: $100 by grandjedi(m): 4:46pm On Feb 27, 2009 |
I don't see any probability of Inter scoring more than 1 goal @ OT ( which is adequate in the unlikely scenario that that they conceed only 1 goal as well ). However, everything points to ManU carrying the day even though the pressure will be on them not to conceed goals. But I think they'll handle that pressure. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Arsenal(0) Vs Fulham(0) On Saturday 28th February by grandjedi(m): 4:21pm On Feb 27, 2009 |
I see Arsenal winning this one - by more than 1 goal. |

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by grandjedi(m): 5:04pm On Feb 02, 2009 |
The minutes are ticking away. If the rumours are correct, Arshavin is still likely to be in. This is from Gunnerblog : Now, Arshavin. The Goon Blog has an audio interview with a Russian journo who has spoken to the Zenit St. Petersburg press office, who are confident they’re approaching an agreement on a £15m fee is “very close”. Apparently the “flying back to Russia” story was a smokescreen to get Sky Sports News off Arshavin’s tale and panic Zenit into reducing their price. Sky are now also reporting that a deal is “very close”, and it seems that (as ever) Dennis Lachter is their source. We should have an outcome one way or the other within a couple of hours. The deadline has been extended, but only with very specific stipulations that will not apply to any Arshavin deal. Fingers crossed. |

Muki, Don't tell me you're trying to defend the girl o Or that you're even remotely implying that she's a minor. Why she sef go jam the big boys for club? I just hope she's not the one beclouding our defender's mind to make those errors he's been making lately |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by grandjedi(m): 1:27pm On Jan 26, 2009 |
mukina2: EXACTLY! Na siddon look we dey. Getting Arshavin is turning out to be trickier than luring out an owl in daylight. But our fingers are still crossed. Let's hope Zenith sees reason eventually. IF he's signed, the next question is " How fast will he settle down to give us the kind of quality we need? " Anyway, let him get signed first before we think of that. It's not over till it's over @Debosky, Lol. No wonder!!! Ain't no smoke without fire The girl in Pic 2 seems to be lighting his fire well enough! |

Happy New Year to my Gunner's family. So many rumours on the transfer market (enough to overshadow the flattening of Oshodi market). Whether it's A.Arshavin in CM or Lazio's Modibo Diakite as central defender/DM, the only certain thing is that this time AW MUST BUY! Hopefully our fingers won't develop myoclonic jerks from being crossed. |
Politics / Re: US And West Are Stupid - Mugabe by grandjedi(m): 1:42pm On Dec 26, 2008 |
It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic. Mugabe is in a "till-death-do-us-part" covenant concerning power in Zimbabwe. Since the other Zimbabweans who can unite and remove him (be they military men or politicians) seem to be in cahoots with him, the only hope for the masses is for Mugabe's creator to call him home. It's too obvious he'll never relinquish power- not for one minute. |

Like A-40 I'll say merry Christmas in arrears to my fellow Gunners. May next year bring us better things and less palpitations. If the boys put in the kind of concerted effort they put into the last 30 mins of the game against the scousers then I see us flogging Aston Villa today. Let's hope I'm not wishing for too much. |
