A welcome development. . . . should Yar'Adull still be nominated for the Nobel peace prize for his phony amnesty?


Niger-Delta, it is now or never. . . when the boys bring Naija oil production back down to 800,000 bpd, they will start seeking another solution. . . infact, I see this as a cyclical thing. . . Naija's economic cycle (recession and growth) shall be determined by the cycle of militancy and amnesty until Naija start to approach issues with sincerity. . .


Free Ralph Uwazuirike!

Nice one Mykali. . . I see you stepping up your multi-game!

Wenger is keeping Arsenal in the top 4 on a negative net spend every season. . . the only manager to consistently have a negative net spend over the seasons.

Now, we all agree that he is stubborn and only 2 or 3 more players would turn Arsenal into contenders. Lets say those extra players would have cost £20m.

If you now sack Wenger and give another manager net £20m to spend, will the other manager even qualify Arsenal for the Champions League? The other manager would do a Mark Hughes or a Harry Redknapp. Besides, Fabregas and others will leave if Wenger leaves.

Infact Arsenal cannot afford to spend net £20m per season. They can perhaps do it as a one-off.

Looking at the bigger picture, Arsenal have to persevere with Wenger unless you can name one manager that can keep Arsenal in contention even with an extra £20m to spend.

I played Mr Average last week . . .
With people like Chamotex in the league, average is just another free three points

That's six points for everyone when you play average and Chamotex FC

Dont be so sure. . . . my only loss in the H2H league came against Mr Average. . . . MEND FC is yet to lose to any human manager in the H2H league.

hehehehe. . . . see wetin Chelsea don cause. . . 3 pages of weeping and gnashing of teeth in 24 hours alone.


@ all calling for Monsieur Wenger's head,

Is there another manager that can keep Arsenal in the top-4 on Arsenal's current budget?

Monsieur Wenger single-handedly built y'all a stadium . . . you lot should be grateful.

Yes, Wenger has many flaws. . . his lack of defensive nous being just one, as well as the excruciating fact that every year, Arsenal is only 2 or 3 players away from winning the league. . .


Still, is there any manager that can achieve what Wenger is achieving considering the constraints?

Consolation prize.

There is no prize for coming 2nd, even in the Nairaland main league. . . since I sit atop the Nairaland Premier League and am still in the cup, I have changed my strategy to compete for these trophies. . . unlike Reptilez FC, I shall not remain trophyless. . . .Wengernomics is not my portion in Jesus name.

If I win the Fantasy Cup, I shall send you the laptop, camera and replica kit which I shall receive as a prize. . . just let me know your size (34-22-34 etc) so I can let the FPL know to send me a Man Utd kit in that size!

MEND FC will continue to properly represent Nairaland on the international scene while the rest of y'all compete for local tin cups and trinklets.

This is INJUSTICE

hehehehehe. . . . when am I playing Chamo Athletic sef?. . . . I cant wait to collect awoof points.

dayokanu:
It is definitely easier to win the EPL than to win any other league.

Mourinho won in his first season what they couldnt win for 50yrs, Ancelotti is on his way to winning, Grant without a license almost won.

Wenger in his 12 years of coaching won one league in France and even Japan combined and he won in his first full season in England.

Juande Ramos from La Liga won a trophy in his first year in EPL, Benitez won a trophy in his first year in EPL

When in EPL you compete with dumbasses like Redknapp, Mark Hughes and Sam Alardyce

hehehehe. . . .you have a point. . . .EPL is inefficient cos their managers have poor tactical and poor scouting knowledge. . .

uhm uhm uhm! . .  Nateevs arrives in the house . . . Clears throat, ready for action.

Give it to them boy!!!  

The funny thing is that there is nothing Obama is doing now that he didnt say he would do in his election campaign. . . during the campaign, he already told of his intention for universal healthcare and his stimulus package. . . and the electorate backed him to do it. . . .


These Tea Party protesters are just the 42% of the electorate who didnt vote for Obama. . . . Fox News is giving them voice to shout anyhow. . . but truth is, their positions already lost the election.

I see Gerrard is back to his diving ways. . . . I hope Pienaar's red card is repealed.

debosky:
Two people killed us in today's game - Clichy and Song.

Clichy MADLY left the post he was supposed to be defending and ran into the middle of the penalty box. . . .to do what?  

Wrong. . . Clichy did nothing wrong for the goal. . . go and check the goal again. . . it was Arshavin's fault. . . Carvalho was unmarked at the edge of the box and Clichy was screaming for Arshavin to mark Carvalho. . . Arshavin failed to respond so Clichy told Fabregas to go and mark Carvalho. . . Fabregas was priorly marking the front of the 6-yard box, so Clichy had to leave his position to go cover Fabregas position . . .  hence the back post was left open. . . none of this would have happened if Arshavin had listened to instruction and gone to mark Carvalho. . . go check the goal again. . .

debosky:
Oh and for Vermaelen - he was AWFUL for the second goal - instead of letting Clichy do his job and mark DD, he rushed wide as well, opening a gap for DD to shoot on goal

It was Vermaelens fault but not for the reason you outlined. . . Vermaelen was in the left back position when the counterattack started whilst Clichy was tracking Anelka through the middle. . . instead of leaving Clichy to track Anelka through the middle, he tried to swap positions with Clichy. . . this meant he left Drogba alone on the right wing, allowing the pass to reach him. . . by the time Clichy eventually caught up with Drogba, Drogba was already in the 18. . . that was when Verm realised that he has to go back to mark Drogba (who he was marking originally). . . . but by the time he got there, it was too late!

If Verm had stayed with Drogba from the inception of the counterattack and let Clichy track Anelka throught the middle, the goal would not have occured. . . go check the video again.

debosky:
Adieu to any chance of winning the league for yet another year.

You can say that again. . . after a whole week of unfounded boasts and false confidence, it was inevitable that this would be your closing statement for the week!  

well, well, well. . . . once again, MEND FC advances in both the Fantasy Cup and the Premier League. . . can anyone stop the MEND juggernaut?

well, well, well. . . . Gaynners balled outta control today so I wont rub it in. . .

. . . but before I leave the floor open to Nateevs to give it to y'all, all I wanna ask is. . .


how ma[size=13pt]r[/size][size=14pt]k[/size][size=15pt]e[/size][size=16pt]t[/size][size=17pt]?[/size]

Arsenal is controlling this game. . . usual story. . . they control the game, we score the goals. . . Anelka and Malouda need to track the fullbacks though. . .

Drooooooooooooooooooooooogbaaaaaaaaaa!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA. . . . Arsenal is Drogbas bitch!

[quote author=Tayo-D link=topic=394348.msg5465628#msg5465628 date=1265548636]@topic,

Do you realise that Hitler started as a Socialist?

If Hitler has a chance of rising again, he will feel more at home with the Democratic Party! Go figure.[/quote]Another evidence of stupidity. . . the Nazi party was virulently anti-communist more than anything else. . . no doubt, if Hitler was around today, he would find his niche in the Tea Party. . . . a party where people openly bring nooses and confederate flags to their meetings. . . I wonder when Tayo-D will feel at liberty to attend one of these Tea Party meetings. . . am sure he wouldnt feel comfortable in such settings as a black man.

Who knows if the election was free and fair. . . however, at least we can say the election had a modicum of fairness as results were announced live at the polling booths. . . a good step in the right direction by INEC.


Anyway, Obi has been very quiet whilst the others (Soludo, Ngige and Uba) have been making a lot of noise. Maybe APGA already had its machinery in place and didnt need to worrry about noisemaking.

hmmmm. . . . Mrs Obi is a fine woman. . . Peter no miss road there. . .

With only ONE friendly match to the World Cup, those advocating for foreign manager are stupid.

How is Hiddink/Van Gaal gonna get players from the World Cup with only one friendly to test players? They will just call up the same old men like Yakubu, Yobo and Olofinjana because of the teams they play for. How are Hiddink/Van Gaal to know that these players are too old to play footie properly?


A manager like Sia-Sia already knows which young players are out there to replace the squad, and he can do so with only a couple of months to the World Cup.


NFF, stop thinking like monkeys please. White manager ko, white manager ni! Does a white manager know that Yakubu et al are approaching 40?

dayokanu:
John Terry did nothing wrong - any coach will tell you that if a fullback leaves a hole, the centre back must fill it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amodu demoted to Home-based Eagles. . . . meaning he still gets his full salary, and Sani Lulu can still take his cut whilst the Presidential Task Force foot the bill of the new manager.

Now regarding the shortlist, these people must be having a laugh. With the exception of Metsu and perhaps Dujkovic, the others are either not qualified, out of our range, or do not understand African football.

Do any of these magas think Van Gaal is going to leave Bayern to come and work for an incompetent body like NFF?


Peter Taylor? Whoever suggested his name on that list should be fired on the spot! Maybe its someone who has gone to do a "Berti Vogts" style deal with him.


Anyway, Amaechi and Okocha should just appoint SiaSia for me if they dont want my trouble. All this other rigmaroll is just a waste of time.

It only takes one atom of Oxygen to bond with 2 atoms of Hydrogen.


The equation isnt balanced.

[quote author=Tayo-D link=topic=391760.msg5458562#msg5458562 date=1265418188]In the mean time, you might want to listen to Obama and his cohorts here again about the single payer system and how their plan will eventually eliminate other healthcare providers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-bY92mcOdk[/quote]Permit me to express my disdain for your idiocy. . .whilst other Republicans on here such as Je Soul and 4Play exhibit a wide range of intellectual capability, yourself and Kobojunkie sound like intellectually lilliputian members of a low class of trailer park trash. . . your base thinking classifies you as a grade-one idiot. . .


Anyway, back to the quoted. . . if you think one of Obama's aims for the public option is not to put pressure on the private option, then allow me to say that you are slow as your profile picture suggests. . . . quote me when I say that Obama is actively seeking to check the cartellish behaviour of private health providers with this public option. . . it is definitely intended to force the cream-skimmers to provide their services at more reasonable rates. . . as soon as you have cartel and price-fixing behaviour in any industry, the tenets of competition and capitalism are defeated. . . . yeah in UK, we do have a single payer system, but we also have private health insurance here. . . and damn right, its very very cheap. . . thanks to the presence of the public option


. . . and that is all Mr Obama is trying to say in your video, but of course, you are too dumb to understand lexicon which is outside the range of what your brand of Limbaugh-Republicanism has programmed you to.

Dyabman,



I need you to scupper your team against MEND FC. I hereby request that you place Rooney, Anelka and Lampard on the bench and give your captaincy to Keith Andrews. This is an executive order.


Whilst one Chelsea fan still has the chance of winning this league, we have to support each other. 

If I was Capello, I would have kicked him out the team altogether.

His presence can be poisonous for team spirit. The dressing room will split between John Terry's camp and Wayne Bridge's camp.


John Harkes, USA captain was supposedly kicked out of USA's 98 WC squad for sleeping with Eric Wynaldas wife.

Eric Cantona was supposedly kicked out of Leeds after rumours of alleged affair with Lee Chapmans wife.

4 Play:
Totally out of your depth. All this drivel you are talking doesn't hide the fact that running major deficits will cause significant long term harm to the economy. Did you see how the market reacted today to news about sovereign debt risk? Keynes baloney.

Negro please. . . stop regurgitating bullshit you've been reading on your right-wing blogs. . . the nauseating mantra to "cut the debt" by right-wingers right in the middle of a recession is somewhat irritating. . . . .

First of all, Obama and Bush share the TARP fund expenditure due to overlapping budgets, so it would seem your only gripe with Obama is the stimulus (which the Congressionary Budget Office actually support). . . seeing as you support universal healthcare, can you pinpoint one significant expenditure increase which you disagree about except the stimulus?

Keeping in mind that the costs of funding the war under George Bush was extra-budgetary, I will like you to subtract spending on the war and economic recovery from Obamas budget and present us the figures, lets see if there is any 'real' jump in spending under Obama. This boils our argument down to a simple argument over your opposition to the economic stimulus, which as I have said is a matter of your opinion. . . .as juxtaposed against the opinion of several experts and all the other nations who also implemented stimuli.


History shows that Republicans have been increasing the deficit disproportionately to their predecessors since 1980 (Reagan, Bush I and Bush II), so trust when I say that the Republicans are of no moral standing to talk about deficits. . . . and with the exception of Reagan, all the Republicans listed above ran up monumental deficits even in the good times!

These hulabaloo is nothing but a time-tested political tool to whip up sentiment. . . go and read this critique of Reagans soaring deficits from 1982. . . .http://www.cato.org/pubs/pas/pa013.html

duduspace:
Now Sauron, what did I tell you about us having a good number of CBs coming thru the youth ranks? I guess he wasn't ready for the first team yet unlike Smalling who had showed the ability to play in the PL already and Arsene didn't want to add more youth to those already coming thru. I guess the player Arsene is looking for is an immediate backup as CB for Djorou in case he doesnt return the same from injury, with the possibility of Djorou also getting games in the holding MF role in which he also played in as a youngster.

hahahaha. . . . Negro please. . . first of all, Wenger is no good judge of a centre-back. . . secondly, Djorou?. . . Djorou is a monumental disgrace. . . he is never alert to danger and he's as clumsy as a baby giraffe. . . . whoever put Djorou as a DM in his youth must have been trying to improve his technique, much in the same way that Jean Tigana played Zat Knight in midfield for Fulham reserves to improve his woeful technique. . . . trust me, midfield is not a viable option for Djorou. . . not by any stretch of the imagination. . . it is difficult enough for me to label Djorou a defender (a very poor one), much less think of him as a midfielder. . . . the continued presence of wastepipes like Djorou in the Arsenal squad informs me that Wenger is not yet ready to win the prem.
