He must be confusing negro with Rigobert Song. Alex was always composed on the ball. Any foibles he noticed must be due to debutant nerves. Song was simply class at Charlton.

Djorou and Koscielny - Championship winning defence! Hehehehe.

Arsenal fans haven't seen real defending since the likes of Campbell, Keown and Adams. That's why they keep hyping PURE DROSS like Koscielny. Koscielny cannot play for Chelsea reserves. Someone who can't jump, can't tackle in the box without giving away penalties and generally spreads PANIC in the Arsenal backline whenever you play any ball down his sides or in the air. His style of pressing and marking is more suited to a defensive midfielder cos the only thing he is good at is harrying opposition players.

@ Retardeen,

A bigoted eediot like yourself should keep your inanity to yourself. I do not suffer fools gladly. Your lame attempts at defending the Govt will only elicit the kind of response that I reserve for odechukwu retardeens like yourself.

Is Mr Mike Omenelen not Tony Anenih's (Anini) nomination? As usual, one of Odechukwus retardeens is trying to fight his ogas side after the recent furore over Benin-Ore expressway. I could not care less what Toney Anenih's boy in the Ministry of Works said in the newspaper. His portfolio is already dead on arrival.

We are here talking about common Benin-Ore road, not to talk of all the refineries and universities promised by Odechukwu which he plans to implement with only 10% of the budget. With such meagre sums in the hands of a serial philanderer like Tony Anenih, perhaps GEJ would be lucky to pin his whole 4-year tenure on the single issue of Benin-Ore road.

Meanwhile, we had a Presidential candidate who has built almost any infrastructure we have in the country today, including 50,000 km of roads in his time as PTF chairman, yet some retardeens are lamenting over Odechukwu's inability to do justice to the meagre 400km between Benin and Lagos. And some other clueless Nigerians voted the Retardeen Odechukwu in the name of "continuity and freedom of press".

@ Proudly,

Song was never raw. He always had brilliant technique. At Charlton he was the playmaker spraying passes and keeping possession beautifully. His game has not changed.

@ Debo, Slimshady

Where are those eediots arguing with me about that baby giraffe called Djorou. That mugun is clumsy and inept, with the one weakness a defender should never have - no sense of danger. His sense of danger is worse than Younois Kabouls. Some eediots were hyping him just because he has the ability to "jump with Drogba". Na only jump we go chop? So in summary, Ibime once again won the big argument of the summer - that Squillaci, Koscielny and Djorou are a bunch of crap!!!

@ Duduspace,

John Rooney is Wayne Rooney's junior brother.

[center][size=14pt]Westerhoff: Its time to seperate the Boyz from the M. . . Marines![/size][/center]


Ipukulu Marines boss Hans Westerhoff today held an open question and answer session with journalists at the players pre-season camp in Navy Base, Borokiri, PH. Mr Westerhoff spoke at length about his plans for the new season the challenges ahead and the contentious renaming of Borokiri Boyz to Ipukulu Marines.

It is believed that the £400m naming rights deal struck with investors from Ipukulu is a deliberate ploy by Borokiri Boyz to circumvent FPL's Financial Fair Play regulations and allow Borokiri Boyz to continue to compete in the Championship under the new moniker of Ipukulu Marines. Some rival managers such as Chamotex and Sir 4k-A-Lot have raised a lot of dust over the issue. These managers have done a topological study of the Borokiri area and discovered that Ipukulu is situated on the fringes of Borokiri, just across the Amadi Creek and bordered on the other side by the Aboturu Creek. According to Sir 4k-A-Lot, "the insidious ploy to pass Ipukulu off as a different entity from Borokiri is distasteful and unethical. Our investigations show that Ipukulu is perhaps a part of Borokiri, therefore the £400m naming rights deal is a case of cunny man trying to circumvent the Financial Fair Play regulations. What is the fair value for the renaming of Borokiri Boyz? In my opinion, Borokiri Boyz naming-rights is not worth one Naira."

In reply, Hans Westerhoff produced a sworn affidavit signed by the Fiberesima family, the owners of Ipukulu Island, stating that they have never held land in Borokiri. Hans Westerhoff also added that the reason that Ipukulu is suspected to be part of Borokiri is because of land reclamation over the past two decades which have expanded the borders of Borokiri closer to Ipukulu, however Westerhoff stressed that the Amadi Creek forms a "natural border between Borokiri and Ipukulu".

After swatting off the journalists questions with disdain, Westerhoff launched into a tirade aimed at Chamotex and Sir 4k-A-Lot. According to Westerhoff, "I would rather concentrate on my teams prospects for the new season than go t!t-for-tat with a bunch of intellectually lilliputian rodents. A £400m injection into my team is simply to aid the team pay wages recently inflated by the amnesty programme, not to spend on transfers. If those two eediots had bothered to read the FPL dictates, they would have noticed that Ipukulu Boyz is limited to a transfer budget of £100m just like any other team in the FPL. I dont know why Sir Eldee is seriously looking to investigate this matter if not to give his team a competitive advantage. Ipukulu Marines should not be hamstrung by regulatory red-tape. We demand fair application of the rules and regulations, not a witch-hunt by Sir Eldee. Players should not be referees." At this juncture, Ipukulu Marines Press Officer Tele Ikuru requested that gathered journalists should focus strictly on football questions.

Westerhoff was then asked about his plans for the new season, to which he replied "My team is 90% ready. I may make two transfer before the deadline on 13th August but that depends on a couple of factors. I have to receive a report from the medical team on whether Sergio Aguero would be fit to start the new season given his exploits in the Copa America. I also have to assess a couple of other situations, but I'd rather keep my cards close to my chest because I know that voyeurs such as Debosky Goonerholics are watching my every statement closely. All will be revealed on the next matchday."

Asked if he had gotten over his disappointment at his failure to defend the H2H title last season, Westerhoff simply shrugged and said that he would put everything right this season. According to him "as you know, we won the H2H title in 09/10 and we got to the final last season, losing narrowly to TBOOGIE. I know TBOOGIE carried all the plaudits last season but this time around, Ipukulu Marines will emerge victorious." He then sent the gathered journalists into a cacophany of laughter by claiming that "TBoogie has no life. I've seen him on some FPL scouting websites gathering information for the new season. The eediot did not even have the common sense to register with a different name. Now I know why TBOOGIE was victorious last season - simply because he was getting tips from other websites."

With this closing remark, press officer Tele Ikuru called a halt to proceedings leaving the gathered men of the Press chuckling as they left the Ipukulu pre-season training complex at Navy Base Borokiri.

To be fair to JET, he chose the wrongest club to go on loan to last season. There is no way he could have possibly benched Bothroyd, Chopra and Bellamy - than woulda been a decision with 'political consequences' for Dave Jones. So JET spent his loan spell playing (ineffectively) on the wings (in a 4-4-2). I think he woulda done better if he played upfront. We would find out at Ipswich.

Yeah yeah yeah. Lamps has more goals, more assists more blah blah blah.
Like I told you, not everything is stats mate.
Heck Lamps has more goals, assists and whatever than Xavi and Iniesta put together. I know who I'd rather have.

Why don't you stop supporting Chelsea when Lamps goes to sleep?
Pastore is not Lampard. Pastore - if he comes - is not coming to replace what Lamps' done.
Pastore and players of his ilk will cause Chelsea to evolve.
Lamps' a legend and I am grateful for all he did for the club but dude, football evolves.

Siddon there dey compare every mid-fielder with Lamps.
Stop talking nonsense mate. Xavi and Iniesta passing stats can be up to 5 times better than what Lamps achieves. Xavi made 20 assists in 09/10. What do you have to present on behalf of Pastore?

Is Pastore good? Yes

Is he the panacea? No!

Have you read this article on Pastore today?

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/premier-league/2011/07/28/2594239/why-palermos-javier-pastore-isnt-ready-for-a-move-to-chelsea

How many times was Pastore anonymous last season? How many managers did Palermo sack? How many times did they lose by 3 goals and more? Is he the man to rescue Chelsea? No! He needs to prove his mettle first.

See your mouth like "Im grateful for what Lamps has done" when you've been calling for his selling for the last 5 years.

Who was the last striker you sanctioned his move positively claiming him to be the change from the Drogba era we need? I believe that guy (Torres) is the biggest problem for Ancelotti and now AVB. . . and I opposed his signing vehemently. The grass is not greener on the other side.

Like we've argued tirelessly on this forum, mid-fielders' primary responsibility is not to score goals. If you get one, it's a bonus. I wonder why every mid-fielder we get linked with must be compared with Lampard.
Choose what you want to compare midfielders to Lampard on:


(1. ) Goals
(2.) Assists
(3.) Passes completed
(4.) Passes perecentage success
(5.) Workrate


Anything you want compare, we dey here.

Any no of assists Pastore is making, Lamps is already making 4 times that.

As we dey now, only Ryan Giggs has made more assists than Lamps in the EPL. Lamps has twice topped assists chart, and 15 - 20 assists per season is just about par for him.

So why are we not seeing the top teams all over Valero then? Why is he not playing in the UCL already?
Please mate, Borja Valero signed for West Brom, what did he do?
Dude was loaned back to Spain where his ninny legs could make a difference.
And even the Mallorca you are gisting about, he was on further loan while Pastore is in one of the hardest leagues in the world being adjudged best young player of the year. Which Valero are you talking about?

Don't paint a picture that is not.


Yes Zamparini's mouth is wide but nobody tags anybody with 30m tag for the sake of it.
There is potential there. Potential Valero will never have.
What is you on about mate?
Erm. . . .

Lemme get this straight

Spanish player of the year (in the presence of Xavi and Iniesta) vs Young player of the year in deadwater Italy (with few young players of note) and you are here yarning nonsense.

Valero was played as a DM at West Brom. Yes, his ninny legs couldnt hack it because he is supposed to have a destroyer alongside him. Blame Tony Mowbray who played him behind two other ninnies. . . INFACT TONY MOWBRAY AND NATEEVS SUIT EACH OTHER. . . if Nateevs was a manager, he would be exactly Tony Mowbray. . . the kind of manager that plays with no DM and three playmakers in midfield. . .

The West Brom experience is and that is the only reason his price is not high. The only teams that can inflate his price are Real and Barca and Prem teams. Prem teams wont go for him whilst Real and Barca have better options. The likes of Villareal and Sevilla dont pay more than £7m for midfielders.

Borja Valero is now in the Spain squad. Pastore cannot smell Spain squad.

Borja Valero has taken his two teams to 5th and 4th place in Spanish league. Pastore finish mid-table always.

And who is after Pastore? Is any club jumping over him? Only maga Abramovic.

You have a penchant for thinking players you love "will" do well in the prem however on the closer look, it's bollocks. Only Nuri Sahin I believe of all those you have listed can make a difference. Valero is 26, Cabaye is 25 and has scored only 31 goals in 7 seasons, Vidal is a DM (and I love him) but them all cannot hold a candle to Pastore. You act like there is a direct relationship between cheap players and top performances.

I am not in support of buying Pastore for 50m but sorry, Roman has set a precedence. When Chelsea is in for a player, the player's stock rises. We will never break that cycle until we produce our own player or buy a player for cheap who goes on to become a superstar. That said, Pastore is a massive player please expensive or not.
Massive player ko! Is he a WINNER?

Do you think betting everything on Pastore would improve didlly squat of our chances without correct wingers?

I would be the first to laugh when Pastore join Chelsea and the usual failings remain.

Which decent central midfielder did Manure have last season? Pastore is not the answer. Good wide players are the answer.

Is Pastore better than Valero? On what basis?

Did Valero not single-handedly taking perennial relegation contenders Mallorca to within a point of UCL and being named Spanish player of the year prompting Pep Guardiola to claim that "Valero, Fabregas and Iker Munain are the only midfielders capable of playing for Barcelona"

What has Pastore done for Palermo except finishing mid-table yearly, getting hammered 7-0 by Udinese and all sorts.

Im from an era where players are judged on their record abeg, not a couple youtube videos.

As of now, I cannot guarantee that Pastore plays quick enough or is strong enough for the Prem. I see some potential there but I am not creaming over him. I do not buy Zamperini's hype.

Secondly Yohann Cabaye plays in a defensive position for the last two seasons, but was more dynamic the season before.

Vidal is a DM, and also a great AM. He scored many goals last season, ask Dayo.

Thirdly, AVB does not play with attacking midfielders. He plays 3 genuine forwards, and each of the three midfielders must be able to put in a shift whether that is Freddy Guarin (I love him), Joao Moutinho (whose game has become more tenacious), James Rodriguez or Fernando (5 lungs - ask coogar how he single-handedly harried Manure midfield in 2009). . . .whilst Ruben Michael (Pastore-type player) ride the bench.

debosky:
There is a simple reason for that lateefu - very few top players continue to score goals at the rate Lamps does at his age. If the issue is getting someone to understudy Lamps, it makes poor financial sense to buy a £30m understudy like Pastore.

Some players are simply so productive that you keep them playing regularly despite their age. Seedorf is one that comes to mind.
coogar:
and ryan giggs(his assists destroyed chelsea in europe). . . .
No mind Nateevs. Na akara dem dey use win matches for him town.

Mind you this 33-year old argument is just a smokescreen. Nateevs has been calling for Lamps replacement since he was 28. According to Nateevs, its Lamps fault we haven't won UCL. It was Lampard that jazzed JT to miss his spotkick despite scoring the goal that took Manure to penalties as well as countless other goals in UCL knockout. Infact call Dayokanu to come and tell us how Lamps demolished Bayern.

Remember these?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKP4sHD5qsI


Im from an era where you pay over £20m for players who have record. What record does Pastore have? If Roman has £35m to spend, I would name 20 other players before Pastore for that price. Infact £30m would get you Mario Goetze who is undeniably superior physically, technically, pace-wise, productivity-wise, age-wise. . . . and with better adaptability to the Northern European game. . . whilst there are fears that the Prem would be too quick for Pastore and too physical for him. . . not saying this is correct, but the doubts alone should make one reticent to pay £35m for him.

Thank God for the Copa America, if not Nateevs could have convinced RA to spend £50m on Neymar. grin grin

You are too obsessed with Lampard's goals. He's 33.
Lamps will play a very important role still in our team, but I don't remember any top team in the world that have a 33 year old attacking midfielder guaranteed to play all games if looking quite slim.

Just so you know,  Pastore stats for 10/11 season 35apps, 11goals, 5 assists. And he's only 22.



At some time we need to start thinking forward.
You must be joking me! 11 goals and 5 assists.

Lamps will do better than that even at age 35!  grin

Ill let you know about Pastore stats as well. . . . starts the season well, fades by December.

How much do you suggest paying for the Pastore chap? The £35m - £50m quoted?

For the money being quoted for the Pastore chap, you can bet your bottom dollar that Dortmund would sell Goetze for less.

Pastore ko! Evangelist ni!

I dont need an expensive central midfielder. There are many sub-£15m midfielders who would add to the team.

You are here creaming yourself over Pastore/Modric when Arsenal just signed Gervinho for £11m who would have better output than both of them any season. I need wingers/wing-forwards (or whatever you wanna call it mehn!) I woulda been happy signing Vidal, Sahin, Yohan Cabaye, Borja Valero for peanuts whilst splashing out on the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Gervinho.

I cannot cream myself over Pastore and Modric cos I already know their production will not live up to their ridiculous price-tag.

Infact, I dont think AVB is that wasteful. I believe the media is concocting stories or RA is going rogue.

The same way a party chieftain(cannot recall the party) on ait news, made a mockery of himself on national t.v, he said "that GEJ godfather obasanjo, failed in his tenure elongation and GEJ would also fail in his own tenure elongation". Without any credible argument, he chose to blatantly ignore the part, were president jonathan said he would not be a "beneficiary", if it comes into law. He(party chieftain) ended with a quote "you can fool some people sometimes, but you cannot fool everybody all the time". No sensible argument as to why he (party chieftain) thinks the bill would be bad for the country. It is the same way many nairalanders who oppose jonathan think. Nigerians please them, you are damned, don't please them, you are still damned.
You are a fool of the highest order.

The Uwais report makes recommendations which strengthen each other.

If you put one part of the recommendations into action without implementing the rest, tyrants will have a field day.

The Uwais report says immunity clause should be removed in addition to the single term. Why didnt your Godfather Odechukwu include that in his bill?

He wants the 'rewards' of the report without the 'sacrifice'.


Odechukwu is like the spineless doctor who rather than dealing with the cause of the illness - the corruption that leads to waste in election year - decided to go after the symptom - the election itself.


I have said that anything short of a full confrontation of the corruption problem in Nigeria is USELESS.

Odechukwu has been a failure for the last 12 years in Government and nothing will change now. The eediot even gave Ministry of Works portfolio over to Tony Anenih's political camp, just to prove his unseriousness.

Anyone read Marcel's comments in the Sun?

"I think Chelsea need a playmaker and I see they are talking about signing Luka Modric.
"But Modric is too lightweight for Chelsea and the number of games they play. He's good but not great. Now Wesley Sneijder, there's a great player. He's the sort Chelsea should look to sign.
"Chelsea have to be looking to be on the same level as Barcelona, Manchester United or AC Milan, not Tottenham."
I agree with his comment on Modric, but I dont think Sneijder is affordable. His wage is £200k per week, and Italian residents dont pay 50pc tax like UK meaning we would have to up his wage closer to £250k per week which is 75k more than Torres, 100k more than Terry and double Lampard and DD. It would completely mess up our wage structure.

Politics › Revisiting Bakare's Visit To Gej: The $50,000 Bribe And 7-year Term Agenda by Ibime(op): 11:58am On Jul 28, 2011
Lets rewind to November last year.


Pastor Bakare and the SNG group visited Aso Rock after which two allegations were made:

(1.) SNG were offered a $50,000 bribe

(2.) Jonathan told Bakare in confidence his plans for a 7 year term.



Lets rewind to December last year, Saharareporters printed the story about Jonathans 7-year agenda on Dec 19th, and I quote:


SaharaReporters sources revealed that contrary to what is being touted in public, Jonathan has secretly cobbled together a team of strategists and manipulators that include “Mr. Fix-It” Chief Anthony Anenih and Jerry Gana, with the objective of putting together a blueprint for one-time 7-year tenure for Jonathan as soon as the elections are over in April 2011.

The plan, which is akin to the third term campaign by President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2006-2007, will be bankrolled from excess campaign funds now being generated.

Jonathan had told a delegation of the Save Nigeria Group (SNG) led by Pastor Tunde Bakare that he was opposed to elections every four years, claiming that it was too expensive.


As of last week, some governors that had “come on board” had been persuaded with the argument they would also benefit from the 7-year tenure project.





In light of the recent tenure-elongation bill, what assurances do Nigerians have that this bill is "for the next President" when the scoop told us last year that it was GEJ's plan for himself?

Lool . . . Coogar is Sauron's friend, so I sent it to him to give it to Sauron. grin grin
Did you really send code to coogar? If so, thats the smoking gun, an intractable and indisputable piece of evidence that confirms quod erat demonstrandum that coogar is Sauron. cheesy

Fresh Air 2011!

Odechukwu was surprised at the amount of people he had to buy off to get the Presidency. Instead of using the Presidency to fight the corrupt elements, he decides to entrench them with 7 years reward having decided that it is too expensive to bribe the whole nation to win elections every 4 years.

The slowpoke forgot the stench and fart he endorsed and enthroned as Governors (the likes of T.A Orji, Timi Sylva, Uduaghan etc) just so they could deliver delegate votes, and forgot that they will be serving 7 years with him  - with immunity clause intact.


The fool called Odechukwu had long signalled his intention to make a mockery of the anti-corruption fight with his light-handed approach to the likes of his SW campaign chief OGD, Ohakim and the selective prosecution of Bank-ole so he can gloss-up on his ephemeral visit to America. Now that his visit to America is done, Bank-ole is no longer front page news and has been quietly relegated till the story dies a natural death.

Odechukwu is slow in speech, slow in manner, and dishonest in intentions. The bungling fool is a shame to the voting electorate.

Where are the GEJ proponent

Beaf, Papabrownie, Wesley80, JohnPaul2k8, agaba, Odunnu etc
Every single person here with the exception of Odunnu is an ethnic jingoist. Dont forget Na-so.

I no dey watch match. How Torres dey play?


So far, I dont see whats exciting about the so-called "tactical experiement" by AVB. Id rather he just pick his 4-3-3 and stick to it. . . appoint those who need to be appointed. . . and dissapoint those wh need to be dissapointed, regardless of their status or ego. Any attempt to shoehorn DD and Torres into the same side will cause confusion and is no different to the nonsense Ancelotti was doing in February.


I am convinced that Torres will make or break AVB just like he broke Roy Hodgson. AVB needs to deal with the Torres issue decisively, which is to either get him on top form or drop him entirely. . . . at the moment, I go with the latter instead of the former until I see any positive signs from him. The ninja is even catching flack in pre-season.

Hehehehe. Mumuface with his foot-in-mouth disease again. JET may be good but the ninja is almost as unstable as Balotelli. I heard the first thing he did when he signed contract with Arsenal was buy a Bentley, meanwhile Fab4 bought a Ford Fiesta as his first car.

Dude, under your regime . . .

1. You didn't come up with the innovation of the Head to Head system, the main attraction of most people here.

2. Your laissez-faire approach to league management led to the unimaginable result of having 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions being taken by unkonwns from Egypt who didn't even have a Nairaland username.

3. In your attempt to cover for your lack of decision-making, you banned respected members like Mukina, someone who had contribted a lot to the development of the NFL.

4. Your failure also extended to poor marketing, highly skilled managers like Debosky, Borat, Lalaboi and Chamotex got to hear of the league really late due to your unimaginable incompetence.  We had people joining the league halfway into the season, that's despicable.
Nigga its the law of the jungle. . . he who has power is meant to WIELD it!


I made FPL into a worldwide phenomenom.

My powers of advertising (even without PM priviledges) turned FPL to what it is today.


You forget that Vieira and V3 had been running FPL before me with minimum interest. . . . back then, only Mukina, Vieira and handful of others played in the league. . . . I am the Vince McMahon of FPL. . .the Ogogomigodo I of FPL.
