As always, I pity any team facing Man U. We shall crush them! We will bend Benitez
4 - 0 to Man U

Crush ko ,crash ni

The question is can u really trust an average yoruba person? cos he is either here nor there (no insult intended to those who are above board). Immediately Awo was released from prison and offered a mouth watering appointment by Gowon, he backed out of the alliance he has promised to Easterners.

I pray God permits him to look down from the 'land of no return' to see the hardship his wrong caculation has brought to nation( Not just the Easterners but also the Westerners and southerners).

Very unnecessary and myopic statement. Not properly thought through. . . .we should desist from such comments if we hope to make progress  in life. Imagine if someone mde any of the following statements :

The average black man(in America)is irresponsible

The average Latino is a  drug dealer

The average  white man is a racist

The average  igbo man is an uneducated trader 

How does that sound 

Citizeny summarises it succintly:

citizenY:
All these cries of victim, oppressed , untrustworthy, illiterate,and other labels is just to put the other side on
the defensive and portray meanness. Those accused of such stereotypical behavior virtually off the
scene now. Whatever they infiltrated into us have in one way or the other been proved wrong by one on one contacts
and real life experiences in life.

Honestly I always wonder what education and enlightenment is all about it cannot be used to shape impressions
dispassionately. Do we have to go by anyones experience in days gone by to determine how we should relate. Do
we have to live history at the expense of tomorrow? Why don't we let our today determine our tomorrow?

why were all those boys falling down injured? dem no warm up? As usual we were tactically inept,. . .  . how we take concede 3 goals?

But kudos to them for recovering. . . . . .

We needed to win this game so we needn't struggle subsequently,but as usual we prefer the HARD WAY !!!

why dem go start dis kain tournament without settling NEPA boys ?  

. . . . .or someone unplug some switch? Abi MEND strike ? Abi yar'adull catch cold. . . .info pls if u dey Abuja !!!!

[quote author=tpia. link=topic=342460.msg4792517#msg4792517 date=1256400703]1000 sq km sounds right[/quote]Thought so too. . . .

cool

Probably the 1000sq kms is Lagos island,while in total (including mainland) it comes to 3500 sq kms

Hi Earl,Nice one. . . .my tots below :

EARLMAGIC:
After the Lyon match I was very upset but also so proud to be a Liverpool supporter. As the match ended, there where no boos for the players and no insults directed at the coach. A proper football club with decent fans.

Solid observation,the fact is that unlike the other BIG 4 ,Liverpool is the only team yet to taste the premiership in its current format (almost 20 years). . . so most Liverpool fans are genuine diehard fans,unlike the others who only associate with their ‘clubs' cos of recent successes.

EARLMAGIC:
Are Liverpool fans deluded or what? 4 straight loses in the league, 2 out of three champions league games lost, a coach that has bought 76 players and spent 229 millions pounds and left with a team that has no strength in depth and the Liverpool fans are planning a 10 thousand man match against the owners and not the coach before the man u game! truly amazing! The average football fan on the red side of the Mersey would tell you Rafa is not the problem but, Gillette and Hicks.

The only reason , I’ll pass the blame to Gillette & Hicks is becos they hadn’t fired Rafa earlier. A more decisive owner would have put his/her  footdown earlier. . .while sad ,this is the way the modern game is. 

Like you said the amout spent is staggering, & despite this i see a lot of really poor judgement when it comes to player transfers.  Some examples:
1. We still don’t have any deep bench?
2. Why for heaven’s sake would you allow Xabi go for 30 million & you couldn’t add 1 million to 11 million bucks to get  Barry from Villa ? The guy was obviously pissed off,he moved to a yet unproven Man C at the earliest opportunity. .
3. . I don’t know how much you follow Liverpool  transfer news, but do you know Rafa  nearly sold Gerrard to Mourinho after our Champions league triumph in 2005?
4. Unispiring buys=  Kiriakos,Babel,Voronin? Why buy an injured player(no matter all the hype)- Aquilani? Of what use would he be when we’re out of contention for EPL & UCL or is he saving him for Europa league?
5. Why did keane go?
The list is endless. . . . .


Apart from his poor transfer judgements, while not calling to question his tactical ability. .  .I feel he’s a bit too IMPULSIVE. He tries to act out any funny idea that comes into his mind? Remember the ‘rotation’ policy of a few years back?
Whatever happened to youth team and developmental football? All other teams have these quite exciting youngsters coming up via deliberate policy ,where are Liverpool’s? Except the last few games when we were forced due to injuries?

EARLMAGIC:
The defence, an area Liverpool has been solid for Benitez’s 1st three seasons  “zonal marking or not”.  We had Sami (in my opinion the best bargain of the premiership) and Cara. Last season our defence became less reliable,  Sami was old and not getting as many games and Cara, though playing regularly is not quite as fast made up with “heart”. We had let Riise go and Fabio Aurelio looked the part. Our right back was considered our Achilles heel where we had to improve. This season, enter Glen Johnson, the England right back. He is so attack minded that the right back position is a forwarding address as he is never there.  Sami is gone, Cara needs a new pair of legs. Skertel still has his doubters, Agger and Aurelio have had injury worries and i am not a big fan of Insua. Our back 4 cannot be compared to the back 4 of the other big 4 sides 4 now.

Zonal marking is a problem. Cara has served us but he’s old. . . . Kiriakos looks older

I alwyas thought Lagos was approximately 1,000km² ,but i was just going though the FIFA U-17 world cup LOC site ,which says Lagos is 3475.1 km² ?

Does anyone have the official area ?

Its funny the 'opening' match is taking place after 3 other mathches ? 

Altho' Im not happy with the current political situation,I want Nigeria to succeed. . . . . . . . . .I currently have no other country. . .


GO,GO LOCAL ORGANISING COMMITTEE !

GO,GO EAGLETS !!

GO,GO NIGERIA !!!

United-Liverpool game thread. . .waiting for ya.

Sorry Cristalz. . .I was really busy . . .but thanks for putting it up. . .I meet up subsequently. thanks.

tunde300us:
Was in qatar some years back,then the airport was just going to be expanded,but u wont believe that we were not allowed in cos they said some Nigerians were caught recently for robbing a bank in qatar and that means all other Nigerians were thieves.
I was so devastated but i know it wasnt the end of my life.U wont believe we were treated like criminals and they were asking if we know how to shoot guns etc and if we were all a gang of thieves from Nigeria,all of us were returned home and since then i have been doin ma stuff here
But i will still like to visit dat country some day

Sorry o ! Thats why we need to get an effective government in naija.

Urhobo& itshekiri. . . no matter how much they try to deny it are closer to Youruba linguistically & culturaly than them krios of Sierra Leone sef . . .

And lets stop all these ,Urhobo is good ,Yoruba is bad nonesense. . . . . you weren't there ,you can only try to assume. . . . certain convenient positions.

RichyBlacK:
We are on the same page.

Humanity is the most important, by far!

Faith comes next; good when it helps humanity; useless when it works against humanity.

Country is artificial. I'm Nigerian; I'm American. Country has little relevance.

Anyone who takes humanity and faith seriously, will be an asset to any country.

cool . Tho' Im going to take u up on your juju thread soon. . .can't reconcile ur christianity & non belief of the existence of JAZZ

Beaf:
This is why I keep calling you FOOL.

My wife and inlaws are all Akata. . . [b]

Akata is a derogatory term my friend. . . how does it sound. . .'My wife & inlaws are African Americans?

Its do or die. .  .Rafa knows it,everyone knows it. . I see this as the beginning of our recovery. . .anything short of this means a manager vacancy comes up at Merseyside 


[size=30pt][center]We mean war  !!!! [/center][/size]

I thnk Rafa made a really wrong gamble buying an injured player(Aquilani). . . . of what use will he be when were almost out of the running in the EPL/ECL?

Such impulsive actions have come to characterise our gaffer,Im sorry to say. . .like the 'rotation policy' some seasons ago & the unexplainable substitution of Yossi on Tuesday. . .I have a long list of these. Anyway Im sure he knows more than anyone else that Sunday is do or die

ChinenyeN:
It depends on how you want to define country first, and if I can throw humanity out. . but aside from that, the choice that I can relate to most is country, faith then humanity. For me, humanity ranks very low. So low, that it basically holds no importance to me.

Sad . . . . you must belong to PETA

This keeps going through my mind.

Your answer is reflective of how you would react in certain situations. . . .

Please explain.

presido1:
I hear say "Mr Fact" bought 76 players sold 68 since he come to liverpool.

. . , O. , kay ?

We only get this threads after the fact. . . . . .to confirm he is INDEED a prophet,please what has he said about our qualification for the world cup? i'd like to read his comments on this latest this week. . .THEN we can confirm his clairvoyant abilities. . . anything short of that puts all these stories in doubt.

The man is nice tho' for saving those people from NEPA 

BlueDiva:
What is happening to Pool?
You had better beat United at the weekend or else. . .

Don't worry. . .we will

He can't be 'fingered'. . . . . .

Men don't get fingered . . . . .duh !

biina:
@illusion2
Are you still confident of liverpool qualifying? cos if you loose to lyon in france, and fiorentina win at home to Debrecen, (both results being quite possible), you will be trailing fiorentina by 6pts and will be hoping they loose their last two matches (including losing to liverpool by at least 2-0) for you to have any hope of qualifying.

don't you worry. . . Lyon isn't exactly fantastic . . .on the contrary we were poor. . . .similar thing happened last season with Marseille. .
all we need do is concentrate !!!! We'll beat fiorentina at home ,beat Debre away. . .

Cristalz:
LOL @ bold.
Okay, on a good day he is clueless. Without Torres and Gerrard, he is hopelessly clueless.

My apologies, Scousers, but it's true.

Ok,we're going thru a bad patch now. . . . but I'm sure we'll  get over it &  return to winning ways. . .

The last time Liverpool lost 4 games in a row,who won the next League championship (then called First Division)?
