@ Priscilla,
I dont fear snakes. Snakes don't have issues unless provoked.
I have got ma ways with them and i have been around at least 14 different species.
Used to have a friend that keeps snakes as pets.
He's got pythons, cobras, black mambas, rattlesnakes(all without their venom sacs).

BTW, where did u take these pics? NJ?
What are the animal rights/child abuse chapter in New Jersey doing about the fact that snakes are swallowing everyone?
Priscilla, beware of the long arm of law.
I dont wanna come for ur courtdate.

Honestly, Osama supports Arsenal.
Its been revealed Osama had mad love for the gunners in the 90s.
Let Henry transform his form to club competitions.
He scored from a deflection tonight and he was just lucky to have scored.
Henry ma foot.

@ debosky,
Don't get jealous.
What did Arsenal win last season?
I still cannot understand why Arsenal fans don't appreciate but to HATE.
Little wonder Osama Bin Laden is a confirmed Arsenal follower.

U doubt?
Write off Man Utd at ur own peril especially when United os hosting Spurs at Old Trafford.
Expect another goal harvest from the best attacking side in England.
Watch out for Solskjaer(babyface assassin).

Snakes on sports section?
Y'all are taking the piss on this thread now.

@ debosky,
Ur last comment is kinda malicious.
Where's Lauren and Cygan knowing fully well that Sol Campbell and Ashley Cole just left.
Youths will reign at Arsenal if the current bunch of young players can win a title like Man U did some years back.
We all know the best developer of talent is SAF.

@ loyika,
There's nothing to be focused about.
Spurs has lost the plot and too many changes has affected the balance of Tottenham.
Their greatest weapon is Berbatov whom i expect to be checked by Ferdinand and Wes Brown.
The midfield battle will be fierce and Giggs + Carrick should offer some sheer force and stop ever-rampaging Zokora and Edgar Davids.
United's attack has been the best in the last 12 months so i expect Saha and Ronaldo to deliver the goods.
Alex is picking up 3 points on saturday-no diggity!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Priscilla,
Henry will not win the golden boot this season.
There are now more quality strikers in the EPL and i believe Henry will now face stiff competition.
Sheva, Zamora, Tevez, Andy Johnson, Rooney, Saha and our very own Papillo are the favourites.
Henry will not score more than 14 goals this season-u want to bet?

@ justkunmi,
Lets leave David Gill alone. The transfer window has closed and United must move on.
United will def'ly sign players come January and i am kinda seeing the positives of not landing a big name this summer.
Should United sign a big player and such player fail to give a stellar performance - who wld carry the blame?

United's next run of matches is kinda feisty.
Tottenham, Celtic and Arsenal in just 8 days seems to be a big ASK from the players but i am confident United can grab maximum points from 'em matches.
Did u see how Giggsy outshone Ronaldinho and Kaka last night despite playing for just 45 mins?
Giggs, Scholes and Solskjaer(Babyface Assassin) are like new signings and by the time Heinze, Smith and Vidic joins the team we will be hammering teams with venom.

Aiiiyo, i drink to ur comments.
UEFA itself has now identified with the tie as the main feature of Champions League every year.
Jose Mourinho as the main actor and Frank Rijkaard as the co-actor.
Chelsea/ Barca season III will be more exciting this season as Eidur Gudjohnsen is featuring as a guest appearance.

@ amodu,
He might not survive it
Other teams are now standing up to the challenge unlike before.
Chelsea already lost a match and be assured they will lose more if care ain't taken.

However,Chelsea has got a wonderful team balance and Jose's been clever not to change the team's spine which i believe is the formular to Chelsea's victories.
Petr Cech-John Terry- Claude Makelele-Frank Lampard- Didier Drogba is what makes Chelsea tick.
Alter any of these players and Chelsea will fall like a pack of cards.

Its a phat reason. Lagosians also get lost on roads in spite of staying in Lagos all their years.
Even the indigenous English folks use Sat-Navs in their cars to navigate their ways out of UK roads.
One wrong turn can land u in hot waters especially in Central London where congestion charges might apply.
U might end up paying 120-300 pounds by plying the wrong roads.

Arsenal to win Champions league?


U guys should stop this expensive joke.
Its giving me the creeps.

Gallas should be a good buy for Arsenal but i am worried Wenger could buy a player at 29.
He gets paid 80k pounds a week on a 4-year deal at 29?
Arsene Wenger has changed his policies-i am happy for him.

On a serious note, Gallas + Toure partnership in the defence looks impregnable if they can work out an understanding between themselves.
This combination appears more solid than Terry + Carvalho but Arsenal lacks the protective shield Makelele/Essien gives the defence.
The league will def'ly be more interesting this season and Arsenal Vs Chelsea match will now take the main-stream as the most exciting tie in the EPL.

C'mon Gunners-be what u can be and lets chase Mourinho n his goons out of the number 1 spot in England.
The HEAT is on.
Can Jose Mourinho survive this carnage?

People get lost everytime in UK.
Its a natural thang cos the whole structures look the same everywhere.

History does matter especially with a team on fire.
Arsenal lost at Man City because of Wenger's shallow judgement of selection and i am sure he will look back and kick himself.
Only die-hard fans like Nairaland goners will think Arsenal can compete with the present crop of players they have got.
Can Arsenal ever beat Mourinho's team? The answer is a big NO.
It will take Wenger's newbreed a couple of seasons to reproduce the 03/04 season cos Arsenal lacks firepower in front of goal.
Overdependent on Henry is beginning to make the team so predictable that teams like Newcastle, Man City and Portsmouth now gets confident when playing the guinners.
Time will tell and i will remind all y'all by December 31st when the league will take shape.

@ otolorin,
If u believe Gallas actually threatened to score an own goal then u will believe anything.
How can a professional footballer say that to a club that pays his bills?
It's gross and Gallas has already come out to say his stand on the allegations.
I know Gallas is not the only player to leave Chelsea like AKOLA pointed but he is the 1st player under Mourinho to join Arsenal(a rival club).
This is not something Mourinho wld have wanted but Peter Kenyon wanted Ashley Cole and Mourinho's hands were tied.

Chelsea is just a lying club and what do u expect in a management that has a cunning Pete Kenyon as an exceutive?
The whole Chelsea foundation reeks of lies, deception and corruption.
I wld have expected Chelsea to wish him good luck for his immeasurable contributions to Chelski's back to back titles rather than try to kill his career.
Gallas has affirmed Chelsea leaders lack class and he has a point if u look at the various tapping-up scandals they have gotten into in the last 18 months.
Remember Ken Bates is still fighting 'em on anutha issue entirely so something is def'ly wrong with the Stamford Bridge outfit.

I can get u an agent.
How old are u and what international experience have u had?

We all know the answer to Man Utd forward Vs Arsenal's defence.
Wayne Rooney will def'ly feature against Arsenal and thats the cutting edge United will have.
United is the best attacking team in the country for the last 12 months and Rooney + Ronaldo will be handful once more.
Arsenal's forward will not even create a chance against United's fortress.
Neville + Ferdinand + Brown + Evra/Heinze will close shops on Henry(worn-out), Adebayor(crap) and Van Persie(brilliant player).
Arsene should forget about this match. The 3 points is in the bag already for Man Utd.
Lets start talking about the return match at the Emirates.

Arsene Wenger should change his game pattern.
He should allow players to take snap shots like snipers and test opponent's goalkeeper.
Walking the ball into the net aint that easy these days as most teams get real physical against teams like Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and United.
Arsenal lacks width. I rarely see Wenger using the wings to stretch teams apart.
Ljunberg/Hleb rarely crosses from the wings for strikers like Adebayor and Henry to cause extensive damages to teams which still brings us to the fact that Arsene lacks plan B.
When a certain formation fails him then he should take a bold step and change things around.
This is where i believe Arsenal fails in most times---Arsene wld have grabbed a point against Man City if he had introduced more strikers later in the game to pressure the Man City defence.
Anyways, i will be glad if Wenger can give Man Utd the much needed 3 points come september 17.
Man Utd 3-0 Arsenal won't be a disgrace to Wenger. Afterall, Arsenal has not won Man Utd in the Premiership since May 2002.

Chelsea can go to hell.
They are only trying to DRAG the dude's name in mud n scum.
Gallas is a professional and he would never score an own goal. Thats gross!
I believe Owen Hargreaves will score an own goal at Bayern Munich this season.
Peter Kenyon is a fat bi*tch -no wonder we kicked him out of Man Utd.

@loyika,
I cannot believe u still think the EPL is a marathon.
It seems you're still living in fool's paradise because we all know Chelsea has raised the standard in the Premiership.
Doom looms for any team that loses more than 4-5 matches in a season these days, no thanx to Chelski for raising the standards to that level.
How many points can a team lose at the beginning of the season and still compete?
Man Utd had a bad start last season but they put up the most sensational come back between December and April and they were still 8 points behind Chelsea.
Chelsea won last season because they were able to win the 1st 8-9 matches of the season and they took that advantage to the very end.
A stitch in time saves nine and that applies to any team that wants to achieve in the EPL.
I have not said Man Utd will win the league but starting very well is now a priority for any team to win the premiership.
Arsenal has failed yet again to achieve a good start and it will need a biblical miracle for Arsene to get back on track.
Talking about Tottenham,
The last time Spurs won at Old Trafford was 1989. Thats bleeping 17 years ago.
Its a far cry for Martin Jol and his goons to surprise the new-improved United team.
Ronaldo and Saha will make a mince meat out of Spurs the way they have been able to humiliate London clubs this season
Fulham and Charlton have seen HELL already. Spurs and Arsenal won't be different this month.

Premiership's golden boot?


Wayne Rooney
Bobby Zamora
Carlos Tevez
Drogba
Yakubu Aiyegbeni
Craig Bellamy
Louis Saha
Obafemi Martins
Van Persie
Kanu Nwankwo

@ Everyone,
Can Arsenal compete with the other teams this season? The answer is NO.
Arsenal cannot compete with the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd and Tottenham because Arsene Wenger got it all wrong with the players he has got in his kitty.
Wenger needs to sign 2 good midfielders and a very intelligent striker.
Adebayor is a global deception and Wenger should loan him out for good strikers in other clubs in the Premiership.
The responsibility on Fabregas is just too burdensome for his age and experience. He is fast wearing out.
Arsenal needs a gritty player in the middle of the pack and Tomas Gravesen or Robbie Savage wld have done it for Arsene.
I cannot wait for United Vs Arsenal match in a couple of weeks cos i am sure Man Utd will make the gooners on NL see Arsene's weakness.
TH should be given a month's leave as he is now a shadow of himself.
Wenger complained about the world cup as being the reason why Henry burnt out but Henry wasn't the only player that featured in the world cup final.
Cristiano Ronaldo played 6 matches in the world cup like Henry and he is playing remarkably well.
Carvalho, Deco and many other players had a hectic summer but are playing well.
Gooners should stop making excuses for Henry and face facts.
Arsenal will struggle this season unless they introduce grit and the desire to win into their gameplay.

@justkunmi,
United will stand tall.
Man Utd plays better when people least expect and besides too many new personnel in a team changes the overall team balance and it sometimes takes long to gel.
A classic example is Chelsea. Chelsea's team list should beat any other premiership team 5-0 in all 38 games but how have they fared?
I am a bit pained we cld not sign some players but if u look at it critically,United don't really need extra players if everyone remains fit.
Scholes, Giggs, JS Park, Carrick, O'shea, Ronaldo, Smith, Richardson can do the job in the midfield.
AbsoTRUTHly, Scholesy and Giggsy look like new signings with the sudden boost of energy.
Saha, Ronaldo, Rooney and Solskjaer(Babyface Assassin) should get a handful of goals.
Ma only fear is the injury-prone Louis Saha but Alan Smith should deputise for Saha in case things fall apart for him this season.
Lets see how Man Utd will fare by December before we talk about new players.

Never under-estimate Fergie's wisdom in choice of players.
United signed just one or 2 players and they are on top of the table.
I am a bit disappointed that we werent able to sign 3 quality players but the position on the league table kinda reassured me United meant business.
Lets watch and see what Fergie's old horses will do this season.

BBC is crap.
These amounts were even undisclosed to te media so why rely on BBC to substantiate what they dont know?
I don't see Chelsea of today signing Kalou for a paltry 3 million pounds.
All the clubs in the world know there's enough milk to suck from Chelsea so the amount goes 300% whenever Jose comes calling.

@ Akolawole,
U should know me by now i don't just state facts without an iota of truth in them.
Salomon Kalou signed for Chelsea for an undisclosed fee but it is between 8 and 10 million pounds on a 3-year contract.
Chelsea for what they are will pay 10m pounds so i can confirm Chelsea splashed 10m on him.
U can confirm this on Kalou's wikipedia.

Boulahrouz signed for Chelsea in anutha undisclosed amount thought to be 8.5 million pounds.
8.5 is closer to 10 than 6. Mathematicians on NL will attest to this.
Khalid's wikipedia can also confirm this so who has gotten his facts wrong here? Me or U?

I think Wenger should buy Kanu again.
Kanu's scored anutha brace again today in an emphatic demolition of Middlesboro.
Papillo is now the highest goal scorer in the Premiership. Who would've thought of that?
Where's Drogba, Saha, Henry,Crouch and Berbatov?
Harry Houdini has turned Pompey around again and they are the only team yet to conceed a goal in the Premiership.
GO POMPEY GO POMPEY GO.

and blah blah plus blah.

Worry more about ur team and dont get get jealous of United.
Arsenal is going down plus Jose Reyes has just dumped ur team with Ashley Cole rearing to leave the gunners as well.
These lads know Arsenal can't win shhhit this season.

@Priscilla,
At least, Barca lost to UEFA cup champions.
Who did Arsenal lose to over the weekend? A relegation-bound Man City.
What a shame?

@ Sir Lordi,
The TRUTH is bitter.
I will not let u sit back and watch from the sidelines.
It will be disastrous for NL if the only truth-bearing gunner decides to keep mum on issues.

@Priscila,
Welcome back.
Its good to have u around on NL especially now with the worst start Arsenal's ever had in a century.
Stop putting pressure on Sir Lordi(The only knighted gunner on this forum).
