As for me,i need one more midfielder, and i think i just found one. Merino Arsenal's number 23.

The midfield is very crucial to the game of football. The vulnerability of our midfielders is why we concede some silly goals like that of today. Not every goal is a defender's fault. Lavia is limited but manageable.

I need someone who does not need opponents to regroup before sending the needed pass. I need a midfielder you can receive pass under pressure and still spot his teammates in the best position under that pressure.

The deficiency of one our midfielders in one aspect of this often leads to turnover,impeding possessions, pressure on the team etc.

You just found Merino?

Why are you always a day late and a dollar short

Same Merino that scored the winning goal in Euro 2024 final

Same Merino that played for Newcastle

Same Merino that is already 28 years old who Arsenal just signed this summer for £30m. How do you plan to prize him off Arsenal just 3 months after they signed him?

Neeeeetoooo

Which Kain goalie be this FFS

If you don't use a skill you will lose it

After over a decade and half of working mostly with numbers and headlines and writing short phrases on Nairaland mostly in Nigerian colloquialism, I struggle to write freely and words don't come to me as well as they did 15 years ago. Thank God for ChatGPT and AI, to write anything more than a few bullet points on a subject dey hard me these days. I used to be a very good writer over a decade ago.

Kushner is persona non grata.
He should go develop Gaza beachfront property.

Ivanka is a beached whale.
Stefanik. McMahon. Wiles. Leavitt. Lake. We got plenty of resolute amazons who aren't fretting about being blacklisted by haute couture designers.
Trump won without Haley. Ivanka can kick rocks.

-Lord

You mean you got plenty of mad people and kicked out the sane ones

Ivanka did not distanced herself from him. Those people have their life. The way she was before he became the president is how she was after his presidency. Same With malenia. I also did not see ben Carson following him upandan. Every has their roll to play.

She does not do culture wars on Twitter like his other 2 sons, she did not join him on any campaign this time. She's the one that talked him into calling off his Jan 6th horde. She's decent folk unlike the Don Junior brat always posting videos on Twitter of black people robbing and killing people to incite hatred.

Interested to see if Jared Kushner will come back.

That's the only guy I respect from Trump 1.0 and the guy that talked sense and stability into Trump at times

Both him and Ivanka are decent folk, that's why Ivanka distanced herself from this run after Jan 6th

Ibime drowning in the mud while waiting for city to get 98 points without Rodri.

Rodri has always been dealing with him

They have no choice but to drop points when their centre back simps on püssy

Ibime you know you take sides. Me sef predicted the United States will struggle when trump leaves.

Inflation should not take very long to address. I understand the Logistic issues that they faced after the pandemic, that should be a short-term problem, they did a lot of spending that does not make sense

Increase in money supply in 2020 was slightly higher than 2021 own. About $3.5trln in 2020 to just over $3trln in 2021.

This is comparable to most Western countries in terms of split between both years. UK did quantitative easing of £450bln in 2020 and £450bln in 2021. What was used to recover from the pandemic would later be paid for in inflation but necessary at the time.

The economy affects the low income workers more disproportionately when things get tight. The office worker might have savings, 401k he can draw from when things get hard. Many blue collar workers do not have the luxury.

A handyman I use for home improvement told me that in the whole month of September he made just $500. It makes sense that when people are struggling financially they will put home improvement projects in the back burners

Politicians and Govt all over sell themselves as solutions to problems even if they have nothing directly to do with it. So its natural to get the blame when your admin didnt deliver what you promised (even when it wasnt within your power)

Trump was blamed for covid, Biden claimed the win for solving covid even though the vaccine was already done before him.

Tinubu for example was campaigning on bringing Dollar rates down, when in reality he knew the factors driving exchange rates was mostly beyond him at least in the short term

It's up to Politicians to educate the populace if they can if they know certain things are beyond their control. Bidens approach was to cross fingers and hope it doesn't happen. Then when it did happen, instead of explaining to the country, he started downplaying it, doing inflation reduction act etc

A proactive communicator will already warn the country what is coming and what to expect, blame it on the previous Government and sell the progress he is making to undo their rot, rather than selling hope. Trump is already doing that now so that any kasala that burst in his tenure, he can blame it on Biden. Obama was also proactive in this regard. The country was in pains from 2008 to 2010/11, but by the time he came round to 2012, he had already educated the country that he is fixing the rot of the previous administration and used that to only own the progress shown in 2011 to 2012 while disowning the pain of 2008-2010. That was enough for him to win 2012 election.

you still find a way to chill for the Dems

It's just the facts. I don't take sides when it comes to £ and $.

raumdeuter:
Liberals here denied there was any economic concerns its just that people were not educated enough to know about their personal economy

The 10% of people who switch vote are usually lower educated ones who think their pocket situation is linked to the Presidents choices rather than MacroEconomic swings. It's just for the opposition to hammer the argument and take advantage of the low IQ in society and take that 10% of the vote. Same way Obama convinced voters George Bush was responsible for lax regulation leading to subprime mortgage crash and it's time for change. Infact George Bush era was characterised by the Sarbanes Oxley act which is one of the most important pieces of regulation on financial Governance. Supporters of both sides will amplify their sides argument, and in the end those who switch vote are usually the lower educated.

You will remember Pride of Lincoln attacking me for stating inflation is coming in early 2021. All economists knew it's inevitable and Republicans started laying down their argument to pin it on Biden right from Jan 2021.

basilico:
There was inflation yes. The reasons govts are being changed is mostly to do with liberals going overboard. They want to control freedom of speech, importing immigrants from every shithole on earth and pampering them with freebies.
Europeans are not stupid to know that most terror attacks and grooming gangs are from the imports.
At the same time the EU is hankering on taking away the freedom of countries. Holding the EU laws superior to national laws..Meddling in elections to get pro globalists in power.. Demonizing the conservatives by making the term far right as something nefarious while we know the far left is worse.
Trump is not a globalist , he is a nationalist and selfish for being one.
Going after the rivals to globalisation like Marie Le Penn.
Tommi Robinson supporters know why they want him silenced

Nope. Like Bill Clinton will say, it's the economy stupid

Labour whitewashing Conservatives in UK counters everything you just typed

All people care about is their pocket not all this yada yada yada. Economy is enough to move the 10% of voters needed to win an election

2008 recession was enough to move America from Conservative to Democrat. In a mirror move, UK moved from Labour to Conservative at the same time. 2024 the same thing happens in opposite direction in both countries. It's not about ideology or any nonsense, economic turmoil always changes voter choice

Move aside Hugh Heffner and King Solomon

Egbon abeg no vex, please how would you rate Vikings Valhalla on a scale of 1-10? Thanks boss.

Lol, no mind him but I enjoyed the writeup

BlueRay is a storyteller

In olden days na him go sit under tree for village square on a full-moon night dey recount historical tales for villagers

BlueRayDick:
I’m on the final episode , I should finish it today sha .

The truth is for years I’ve been seeing people talk about Snowfall but each time I want to give it a trial , the storyline doesn’t look interesting from the little I read online . I always get discouraged and just overlook it thinking it won’t make much sense.

Now that I’ve watched it , I think it’s not good to judge a book by its cover . I really love Snowfall and I like how the producers took their time to kill off the characters slow and steady.

Unlike some shows where they kill off too many characters in one or two seasons leaving the show boring ; the producers did a good job of preserving the life of most of the main characters till the very end .

I also like the fact that Franklin’s life ended in misery . Death for such person will be too merciful for him , the fact that he was made to live with the trauma from his actions is enough punishment for him. He lost everything he got with drug money and also lost the love of every one he ever cared about. No be every weekend person supposed just die without suffering much pain ; Franklin caused people so much pain and it is only normal he suffers serious pain too.

I’m glad Teddy also got what was coming for him. I like how he suffered before Mrs Saint unalive him .

I will give the show 8.5/10

This guy!

Simple question on how you rate movie, you done write paragraph upon paragraph

Trump winning the election is nothing special

Almost every Government in Europe that was in power through the 2021-22 post COVID inflation cycle has been replaced in subsequent elections. In UK, we've had overwhelming landslide for Labour over Conservatives simply due to cost of living

It's simple logic that when people go through financial change, they change Government. Average Joe Blogs does not know economics or causes of inflation.

The Business Cycle simply favours Trump this time like it favoured Clinton in 1992 and Obama in 2008

Elon made 33billion the day trump won the election.

So he got his money back used to buy Twitter. It was the best investment ever. Obrigardo, budaatum and ijebos have you joined Bluesky yet 😂😂😂

Converting it to cash is the problem, there is not enough liquidity for Elon to sell most of his shares. Highest he's ever sold in a single year is $10bln and he's banned from selling Tesla shares
