Please ignore wikipedia as a source. My professor once threatened me saying '' Kola, a good academician dont befriend wikipedia .''
Maybe we should throw an open debate on Emenalo. BolaOni, DrKit, Jackal could be of help as well. I didnt want to research on him but sit down and think of his playing days for eagles. One thing is sure, he has NEVER command a regular shirt for Naija.

I had to call a well known sports journalist to enquire about this Emenalo
The bros told me that Emenalo was in and out of the Eagles around the mid 80s and wasn't sure how many caps Emenalo had for the Eagles.
He went on to confirm the uproar I spoke about earlier,regarding his(emenalo) inclusion in the 1994 team when he didn't play in any of the qualifiers.
I asked him for newspaper write ups,if he still has, so I can paste here for my NL friends.
Emenalo's first cap for the Eagles was not at the 1994 world cup.

Our signings have been underwhelming and yet we are ahead of arsenal on d table.

As it is, a not too vintage UTD are better than your supposedly fantastic team- so sayeth the table

Bros
This season na yo-yo league ooh
By this time next week, the reverse could be the case

StarBoard:
Gone are the days when Arsenal won the North London derby just by showing up.
At least the last two results in the league between the sides tell me that. . .

Dude,
It's your turn to laugh now.
I hope when next manure stutters and we are on your board
You will also find it as funny.
Remember we dumped Spuds outta the carling cup at Whyte Hart Lane

Not able to watch the match
Had to be somewhere to earn my 'bread and butter'
However, I followed the match via LIVE SCORES
As soon as I refreshed on my phone and saw Bale had pulled one back
Something told me we were gonna lose.
Just going through the highlights now and wondering what was Cesc thinking by punching the ball
Remember he got away with it against Liverpool at home,last season, in the last minute.
Dude should never be part of the wall again please.
I will try and watch the full match later on
BUT. . . . come on , . . . . . Winning the league is impossible with this Jekyll and Hyde performances.

tkb417:
He never played for SE in the mid 80s

the first time he did was under Clemence-US94 party

@tkb417
How much do you want to bet?
Mike Emenalo played in the mid 80's for the Eagles.
Let me quote from his wiki page
Emenalo won 14 caps for Nigeria and played in the 1994 FIFA World Cup, missing the first game through injury but then played against Argentina and Greece before Nigeria were knocked out by Italy.
Now, if he had 14 caps for naija and three were at the World Cup in 1994, when did he cop the remaining caps?
At least, we all know Emenalo 'disappeared' after the cameo at the World Cup.
It's like saying Okey Isima was making his debut for the Green Eagles in a world cup qualifier against Tunisia in 1986 or Rufai's 1st outing for the nation was in 1988 nations cup in Morocco.(They both played for Nigeria years before then)
E don tey when we dey follow this game called football ooh(esp Green abi na Supa Eagles)
Where Akola and co when you need them?
Emenalo could not have made his debut for the eagles at 29(official age).

AW, as usual, is demanding we show Bill Gallas respect tomorrow.
No way, Maybe if he had moved to Panathanaikos or Juventus
But . . . . Spuds . . . No WAY!

dayokanu:
HNIC vs edoyad (In bed)

DK vs Gomez near a refuse dump

Hmmn. . . .
What have I missed
Debosky vs Starboard
Ritchboy vs Cougar
who next?

Emenalo was not a new person at the 1994 world cup oooooh.
In fact there was an uproar when Westerhof included him in the World Cup bound squad as
The local press wondered why Ugbade was left out and someone considered 'washed up' was included
Ugbade was on course to become the first player to play U-17,U-20 and then play for the Eagles
Emenalo had played for the Eagles earlier in the mid 80s when the Eagles were very very average

debosky:
This was after playing for Arsenal since 2004 wasn't it?

Compare this with 8 goals and 5 assists for Chamakh in all competitions, with Fab4 missing about half the games.

nateevs:
You are chatting rubbish. This result did occur because you kept saying 5 points is nothing. If you read my posts well, it wasn't about 5 points. It was about Arsenal. I even said if you were 10 pts ahead, you still won't win the league. So where from the issue of 5 pts. You won't see me over at the Mancs thread talking about a 5pts gap.

If you had read my post well, I wasn't talking about you in particular.
It's the majority of you chavs.
10 points ahead and we won't win the league??
Ok, let's wait and see
You know  what they call people who think status would always remain the same?

nateevs:
You'll come to SB, get a humiliation and the cycle continues.

So, you can't lose at SB. . . and win the league?

nateevs:
5 pts to 2pts. . . Who cares? Y'all will start blaming flappy-arm-ski for another howler. "Oh! We could have been 1 pt ahead of Chelsea now".

Wait until that time comes and lead the noise making on our thread.
For now, who do we blame for the gangrape at SB?
~Ray Wilkins departure?
~Cashley's extreme daftness?
~Lampard,Terry(fake injury),Alex and Benayoun's absence?
~Sturridge's absence?
~Malouda's removal?
~Time change in UK?

Onuoha's 15 minutes!
He will show his grandchildren that goal

debosky:
MC29 is still trying to get to grips with the EPL - give him time and his on the ground finishing will improve as well.

I have quit debating this issue after I explained that If we had judged Henry based on his first 13/14 games for Arsenal, we would have sold him in the next transfer window that came along.
Here is a player who is the leading scorer in his debut season, when he shouldn't even be getting games.
I will only judge MC29 at the end of the season.
Remove his contributions so far and I wonder where we would be!

nateevs:
I cannot believe Arsenal fans have an opinion. It's amazing.

When we kept saying a few weeks ago that 5 points gap in November is nothing. . .
You guys kept telling us rubbish and behaving like you will win the EPL before Christmas
5 has become two in just one weekend.

Generations unborn will relish that moment

The Man!
Bacary Sagna

Where are those 'My urine/spermatozoa is blue' boyz?
The urine is 'black catish' for now

My best move of yesterday was when Prince Nas took the ball from around the centre circle, proceeded on a 'Theolike' run,
Went round Jagielka like he was a Non-living thing and his shot was only stopped by a briliant effort by Howard.
Fantastic!

revomind:
Almunia, Vermaelen, Diaby, V.Persie, Beendtner all out or still not fully fit, Whats Nateev saying?

Leave am
The other players wey play today, no be salary dem dey collect?

nateevs:
You have Lampard, Benayoun, Essien, Alex and Terry out. All these players will walk into the first team if they were fit. That's half the first team out. It's a bad day . . a very bad day . . Get on with it.

Not an excuse
We have been playing for three seasons without the core of the first team

Omo
What were the odds on this result?
Whoever put in a bet of this scoreline would be a millionaire now

Welbeck scores!!!!
Cashley Cole will be credited with a wonderful assist!
Game OVER!

dayokanu:
Abeg who be fine boy for here?


Shey something do you?

When I say Yeba you say Riba

Yeba

Its 9 minutes more
anything can still happen
I thought Manure were gonnalose yesterday . . . .and they came back

10 minutes plus added time left

See Onuoha doing step-overs
Kai
How things change?

Kakuta,Analka,Drogba,Kalou
4 strikers on the pitch

Ibime:
Abi the players dey vex because of Ray Wilkins

I have been wondering , . . . .
Abi this na REVOLT?

duduspace:
Immediately I saw that team list, I knew Chelsea was in trouble with that backline. I hope Sunderland can hold on for the win. And Ivanovic shouldn't even be on the pitch anyway.

After the win against Everton earlier by Arsenal
I was just wishing the Black cats  would come to West London and cop a draw
not knowing they had other plans in mind!

Am I a winch?
I was just saying on the other thread that Gyan would score
see Zenden dancing Makossa

Was that Onuoha or Maradona?

nateevs:
Of course not.

enitan2002:
he should have been sent off, that was the last man, though i'm a chelsea fan.

Really, that law of 'last man' and 'goal scoring opportunity' annoys me
Difficult interpreting it on the field at all times.
Honest answers from you guys though
