and Novak Djokovic takes the first set 7-6
Common Baba Ibeji show your colour

Talk of devil. Djokovic pushing Fed to the deuce in the first set
I have said this is the first baptism of fire for fed in this tournament

As per Li &  Kim's final, I think Kim have an edge with her experience, she seems to know how to study opponent weakness and convert that to her advantage; and this manifests more after her comeback from retirement. It got a stage I thought she actually used the retirement to study the playing styles of all her colleagues and decided to come back having be convinced she can still do it better than them after all she wasn't the only one that came back - Justin, Martina Hingis (my favourite).

Not holding any excuse, will Nadal have lost that match. One factor working against hiom is his style of play. He is so aggressive, hits the ball hard and exert much of strength unlike Fed who plays with more of simplicity. Whichever, i'm happy the coast is getting clearer for my dearest Baba Twins to win the tournament but not without fighting off the threat of Djokovic as I see him as the only one among the semifinalist that can stop Fedex

Berdych only showed a real stuff during the 2nd set and once Djokovic was able to rally back & take the set, his confidence for the 3rd was low and it made it easy for Djokovic like he had in the 1st set.
Baba twins V Djokovic will be an interesting semi final and Fed needs to watch out for him. If he's not going to win this, let him loose against Djokovic as I dont like him loosing against Nadal so as not to witness another sobbing as well as increasing Nadal bragging rights

Novak Djokovic is proving too much for Tomas Berdych now. He  takes the 1st set 6-1

I see Federer next match against either Novak Djokovic or Tomas Berdych as the toughest game so far and he will be hard to stop if he plays like this for the rest of the event.

i was an arsenal fan, presently a chelsea fan. i have never been a man u fan and no plans to be soon but if any satistics puts wenger above fergie, that one must be a made in china satistics.
ancelloti has finished just a season in england and already has 2 cups and a community shield to show for that. mourinho was in england for 3 seasons and have a lot to show for it. fergie is so used to trophies that he celebrates not so much.
how come a man that lacks anything trophy in the last 6 yrs is a coach of the decade. it is possible this is not based on achievements.
the arguement that wenger develops youth football, i ask, how many of his players came from the ranks of the club?
mr.wenger, don't be decieved. u have nothing to show for your greatness.
the quality of a coach is in the trophies and not how much he made for a club.

Yes you can see an example of those i refer to earlier. I'm so sure if Chelsea goes into relegation & Bolton wins the treble, you'll become a wanderer . I like your style and you dont owe anybody any reason/explanation of which club support at any particular time but it will be better if you refer to yourself as a FAN and not a supporter 'cos true fans stay with their clubs no matter where they are. Do you know a club called Darlington in the Blue Square league, the stadium is always full with supporters, Try to watch Portsmouth, Middlesborough, even though they are relegated & are not even doing well, the supporters fill the stadium, make noise when their teams are playing. They dont desire it & they like trophies as well as playing in the top league, but the love they have cannot be substituted because they are not at where they wish to be.

For all Arsenal supporters, you shouldn’t be worry about most of the analysis posted here. The criteria used by the voters had been explained and if anybody does not agree with that, no problem, you are bound to agree or disagree with anything in life. The advent of fanatic support for foreign football leagues started with the advent of DTSV & cable TVs into Nigeria and I’m sure 70% of EPL supporters in Nigeria became ardent supporters of EPL within the last 10 years. Tell me did u hear of ‘Up Blue’ before the coming of Abramovich or Mourinho to Chelsea? Did you normally hear of Up Barca prior to the era of Ronaldinho-Messi? How many supporters of Man City did you hear of prior to the takeover by the Thailand guy before Sheikh Millionaires step in? It was only when these clubs started winning trophies that fans club started springing up here & there and their own philosophy of good club is by how many trophies you’ve won. I can tell you that if Chelsea/Barca/Man U/or even Arsenal gets relegated; they will be searching for the next available winning clubs to join. To them it’s either you are winning title or nothing. With their shouts about how many titles somebody have won, their orientation is that clubs West Ham, Birmingham, Reading, Blackpool, Almeria, Borrusia Monchanglanbach and other lesser clubs in the world leagues should not exist or should not be recognized

These are the sort of games that will cost us the title this year: Wigan, Sunderland, Westbrom, Newcastle. I think AW shouldnt have made 8 changes. Points lost at the DW stadium is precious considering we are playing Birmingham next where we might need to be at extra best to even claim a point. Anyway 1 point is still better than no point

usbcable (m)

There were 8 pairings and the first ball wont be kicked until after 9 weeks so why all the neck breaking analysis and conclusions when no one can see the future amongst us.
presentform wont determine events come february its the form that each team presents then that will say who takes the day.
chelsea might have improved
inter may have recovered
real might have gotten its strikeforce sharper
arsenal might have grown into men
marseille may just spring a surprise
ac milan may have found a solution to Bale
e.t.c.

and Barca may iniesta, xavi and messi injured or even redcarded in the 1st minute of the encounter

@ all Arsenal haters, keep on the good work, we lovers of Arsenal enjoys reading your GOOD AND LOVING COMMENTS about us

But like they always say, it is not over until it is over and nothing is impossible under the sun. Now give me your sincere and doable response. WHAT WILL YOU DO IF ARSENAL GOES THROUGH AFTER D 2 LEGS?
REMEMBER THREAD CAN BE RECALLED/MADE REFERENCE TO. MUKI WILL LOVE TO DO THIS ANYTIME ANYDAY IF OUR DEAR ARSENAL ACHIEVE DIFFICULT BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE TASK

Another Ifedisky.
Follow-follow mentality.Whic hhole did this vermin creep out from?
Get a brain,hollow-head.I know most Gunners find it extremely difficult to think,but this is pathetically lazy and hapless.
Stop jumping on other people's jock and get a life of your own.

se me see wahala, na by force? just because i chose a team i desire & support? Must you descend to the lovel of abusing just because you dont share d same ideawith somebody.? All I tried to point out is that you dont just make a stupid generalization of people about issues. gwhd

I want these

Schalke vs Copenhagen

Bayern vs Marseille

Man Utd vs Inter.

Tottenham vs Valencia

Shaktar vs Roma

Chelsea vs AC Milan

Real vs Lyon

Barcelona vs Arsenal

Now you are talking, at least somebody keeping to the line of the thread let's see how it goes tomorrow. A simple conclusion (without likely impossibility)

Schalke vs Copenhagen - schalke

Bayern vs Marseille - Bayern

Man Utd vs Inter.- Man U

Tottenham vs Valencia - Spurs

Shaktar vs Roma - Roma

Chelsea vs AC Milan - too close to call (dont write off chelsea & milan dey in form)

Real vs Lyon - Real

Barcelona vs Arsenal - abegi, no comment

@dayokanu
a dullard is a dullard anywhere.
And there is a high probability that he supports Arsenal.
Logic is missing in an Arsenal fans' way of thinking

, and I can tell you your post especially the bold part is bereft of logic too

Sincerely,  really dnt have beef with any of the surviving team that has made it to the round of 16. The only team amongst them that  felt could be better we did settle scores with is Inter, but mou has left them, he's the 1  got probs with.

Any other team like Man-u, chelsea and arsenal have been probably dealt with. The rest are vegetarians cos there aint no BEEF. So any team that is paired with FC apaniyan aka BARCALITY is accepted.

Eyo, me thinks if MOU is d one you got problem wit, the HELLclasico shud av soothed your nerves as him sef don talk am say Barca na finished script.

I Man U wants to continue their run, then they shud not win also, at least other small teams have been there & snatched a point, even thugh our away form shud be enough to get us the 3 points & i see that coming

The last 16 pairings that would result in the quarter final will be made today. Though it is true that if you want to be Champion, you should be ready to play and defeat the best, at the same time, if wishes are horses, one would prefer meeting a particular team at a particular stage. So looking at the standings in the group stage, guess or select your prefer opponent

Last-16 Permutations For The English Four
Tottenham can play: Lyon, Valencia, Copenhagen, Roma, Marseille or Milan.

Manchester United can play: Inter, Lyon, Copenhagen, Roma, Marseille or Milan.

Chelsea can play: Inter, Lyon, Valencia, Copenhagen, Roma or Milan.

Arsenal can play: Schalke, Barcelona, Bayern or Real Madrid.

As a gooner, Schalke or Bayern will be preferred but if Barca or Madrid comes our way, we gotta play

hunhun, at long last baba twins. Thanks for putting this Nadal ghost behind you. I was wondering if I will see my Roger beating nanal again 'cos the guy is causing lots of heartbreaks to you & your fans

if no be say I know ruggedman, 9ice and Javalove, I for think say na javalove be 9ice for NL. Haba, wetin, you wan die because of another man palava. One bad thing about your beef be say because you hate RM, you think yo can try to force everybody into hating him. sofry sofry java. You go dey abuse people just because they don't agree with your opinion especially on 9ice & RM matter. even if you hate somebody becos of his attitudes, you can still sway support to your side with objective criticism. 9ice made cool cash on his album, RM will make cool cash on his album, and here you are wasting away your employers time.

@ Fajasi, I like everybody wey like me and I like but careful with those wey hate me. at least no be every go like/hate me.

Why is assanal LOSTING to Newcastle?

we losted because we were not gooder enough

Dont worry; it is too early to press panick button; we'll come out better. At least no top team is showing consistency for now.

The next problem Siasia may face is the impatience of some Nigerians that don't know how long it takes to build a team. I wish him success.

Spot on. Nigerians are quick in making reference to Westerhof and his success while managing the national team forgetting it took him about 5 years to give a team that has always been a reference point. I hope we wont start calling for his head if he starts on a wrong footing

This is disheartening and it abounds among gullible people irrespective of tribe. But come to think of it, the guy didn’t mention her sister again after things turned sour. What’s her contribution/reaction to this because if she decides to align with her husband either willingly or under duress, it’ll be more disastrous for the guy.

Suspension of the Nigeria Football Federation
(FIFA.com) Monday 4 October 2010

The FIFA Emergency Committee decided today, 4 October 2010, to suspend the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) with immediate effect on account of government interference.

This decision follows the latest events linked to the NFF, such as the court actions against elected members of the NFF Executive Committee preventing them from exercising their functions and duties, the stepping down of the acting NFF General Secretary on the instructions of the National Sports Commission, the decision of the Minister of Sports to have the Nigerian League start without relegation from the previous season, and the fact that the NFF Executive Committee cannot work properly due to this interference.

The suspension will be maintained until the court actions have ceased and the duly elected NFF Executive Committee is able to work without any interference.

During the period of suspension, the NFF will not be able to be represented in any regional, continental or international competitions, including at club level, and also not in friendly matches. In addition, neither the NFF nor any of its members or officials can benefit from any development programme, course, or training from FIFA or CAF while the federation remains suspended.

she wakes me up on a daily basis with prayer and makes sure she calls me at night before I sleep to pray for me. I LOVE YOU MUM

at the end of all there, who benefits most? The Artist! Not a single benefit to the fans other than loosing your money on their albums and worry more on their palava than yours. I remember Saheed Osupa in one interview after the fight with Pasuma & Wasiu that the kain money wey him make for all the albums wey him do at that time, he bought a land & built a house. and I laughed because truly he has to make his living from his talent, some people don place am on top their own heads to dey abuse themselves, dem papa & mama. shio

@ Javalove

And i have said this before, MY INSIDE SOURCES HAVE CONFIRMED TO ME THAT HE ACTUALLY BANGED T-PAYNE!!!

All this one he is doing is oju aye. . .

silly . . .



#Javalove. . .unless otherwise stated. . .!

Javalove, remember what your faith teaches about what you didn't witness, Be careful about dem say dem say.

goal lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
ebere Orji 2nd minute

and these nigerian coaches are so archaic, see how they are shouting instructions as if they are talking to their house helps

The nigerian bench shoud stop shouting like thugs  Angry

The coach is speaking pidgin- I distinctly saw him say "abeg com dis side."

may be she should speak any of our native languages becos u can never tell, those mexicans may fathom the pidgin

The problems with Nigeria football just all sectors in the nation is multifacets.
People keep shouting what we are going to loose especially the other national teams in the 2 years. and I would like to ask what have we achieved in the last ten in sports apart from using over-aged players to achieve success. We all know the other national teams would suffer when fifa bans us, but at the same time, can you imagine millions of talented nigerians who have been deprived of hitting limelight because of favouritism, nepotism tribalism and corruption in the football house. Coaches are hired based on what they can get as feedbacks. We are starting from somewhere. One thing I have realized about Nigerians is that we hate the negative effects of change ad we must realize there cant be social change without social disorganization. We must not look at the immediate effects of our withdrawal or fifa's ban but the latent and manifest future benefits of this actions. Good, Fifa will ban and we wont compete in the next nation's cup; and so what? since we crashed out of SA2010, has the events not continuing, we have been banned before, did we die? Is football the only sporting event in the country even if it the unifying one.

My fear at the same time is whether those advising the president are sincere and not just about putting their own there. What is the government going to do to develop other sport at the local,state, regional and national level. When will the government stop appointing water engineer as sport minister? I just hope we wont be back at the same spot if the wrong people are put in the house.
