I will still blame all this clubs for putting players ahead of their coach.
When a coach tries to discipline a player I expect the club to support to the coach in doing so, but this day you see player being rude to their coach, even making sure they loose matches. Players should not be made to believe they are bigger than club, I think that's what we are seeing today.

Jose mourinho I still respect and love you
Wish you the best

I get the feeling. But you can't have the upper hand against the players when your team is underperforming.

Take City for example, if Pep falls out with Debruyne for instance, he could make him sit on the bench and eventually sell him with the club's backing because they are still an exceptional team without any one player.

Allegro could bench Ronaldo tomorrow and heaven wouldn't fall because they would still win the serie A. When the going is good, the coach can discipline any single player.

I will say a big congratulations to man utd fans that what we chelsea fans endured for 3 years too den
pogba will be d happiest man on earth today

I'm also a Chelsea fan. I don't think Mou's time at Chelsea was all defensive football. We still played some good football during the first two seasons.

Mou's comments and demeanor makes it hard to root for him during trying times.

The fear of PSG...

Oh noooooooooo!

The truth was that in 2015, people wanted anyone but Jonathan and that's how unfortunately we had Buhari. There is this saying that no matter how many times a snake changes its skin, it doesn't make it less a snake. That is exactly who Buhari is, despite the repackaging from the likes of tinubu and the rest in 2015, time has proves that Buhari remains the same in being a tribalistic, nepotistic, fanatic individual who remains economically unsound, no wonder during his stint as head of state in the 1980's we had recession, and the same thing repeated in 2006.

The truth is Buhari has blind followership in the north, same nepotistic, tribalist, and economically unsound individuals litters the north, they view him as demi god, no wonder he plays to the gallery, by giving them more appointments and turning blind eye to their misdemeanors. The same people who voted out Jonathan under the guise of failing Nigeria would not vote out Buhari even though Buhari has done worse.


Personally I don't like the Atiku candidacy because of some credibility issues he has, but the truth is that looking at the other candidates for the presidential race, Atiku looks the likeliest with the clout and grit to wrestle power with Buhari, don't tell me the boolsheet of saying "What if we all support Kashim, what if we all support Moghalu, what if we all support Sowore" the truth is that there is no way those ones are smelling that seat, they are not going to win, with the orientation and voting pattern done by hungry Nigerians, there is no way they are going to win, they wouldn't indulge or have the capacity to do a nationwide vote buying, bribing of voters by doling out money or consumables on that day to voters, enough wherewithal to fund the campaigns and elections.

Nigeria is at the lowest low it can go, there is no any lower we can go lower than we are presently. Atiku is a sound business man, and can apply that business temerity in revamping Nigeria. The so-called corruption fight is a hogwash, have you been close to goverment circles, the same high level of looting is still going on unabated, so why would we under the guise of the so-called corruption fighting be kill yourself with hunger.

Any Nigerian that wants Buhari out should settle for the Atiku option, Obasanjo had no option, having weighed everything, weighed the realities on ground had no option than to go back to his vomit in endorsing Atiku, it wasn't easy for him, so if he could do that, I think majority of Nigerians should toe that line, the rest of the candidates even though are young, intelligent, economically sound( like one chika Ukaegbu, the acclaimed youngest presidential candidate) are just vote splitters, Buhari is happy them being in the race, cos his core fanatical, nepotistic almajiris are on lockdown, but down south and the sound northerners would now be split with voting for Atiku and the rest of the mushroom presidential candidates.

Let's every right thinking Nigerian please think about the Atiku option, he is the only realistic solution to the quagmire we brought ourselves into, don't be decieved by the noise of the other Presidential candidates who lack party structures across the 36 states of the federation, they are nothing than vote spliters

You've got a lot of nerve to insinuate you're clever because you support Atiku.

Wow!!! So much rave about Elite, Dynasty that I'm actually doubting they are as good as people claim they are!

Anyways , finally had time to see Maniac, the Hunting of Hill House and Bodyguard, Chilling adventures of sabrina recently.

Maniac was all about the two leads ( in a good way )

The Hunting of Hill House is one of the best series of the year for me.

Bodyguard was not what I expected. Very lame final episode in my opinion.

Chilling adventures of Sabrina was Okay. Hope they do better next season.

BluntBoy:
Don't mind him.

It is not even Wilder's fault that he doesn't have big names on his stat. It was not his fault that some of the big names he was billed to fight failed drug tests. He may not be a refined or skillful boxer like Joseph Parker or a defensive tactician like the Klitschko brothers but there is more to boxing than just skills. There is raw power too and no one can deny that Wilder can punch.

The truth is that the heavyweight division has dropped in quality since the likes of Lennox Lewis left the stage. But why should Wilder be singled out for blame?

As for bout with Tyson Fury, I always tell people that a fight with either Fury or Wilder can go either way. Fury is an awkward fighter who is hard to catch (the fight with Wladmir comes to mind) but there are not enough fights to prove that he can take a punch, the type that Wilder would be throwing. He is also very careless, a characteristic which stems from his overconfidence. That may turn out to be his undoing should Wilder land his powerful right.

As for Wilder, he throws windmills and always lets himself open. Fury might capitalize on this. Wilder always gives himself away as a very unskilled boxer. However, I doubt if Fury can put him down on the canvas.

This is absolutely spot on! I wouldn't be able to say it better than you did.

The fight is really close. But I will say it's 60:40 in Wilder's favour. And I envisage a knockout if Wilder is winning it. But Fury should win it if the fight goes the whole distance because Wilder is so inaccurate with his punches and the tactical fury would take any openings.

Looking at the broader heavyweight landscape, I think Wilder has everything it takes to truly measure up to Anthony Joshua. But he has to improve his defense and punching accuracy massively. Because that's where I think Joshua is clearly supreme.

Hopefully, he wins and it brings us closer to the Joshua-Wilder showdown.

Okocha wasn't even Nigeria's best ever player.

Miggs:
What was good/bad and right/wrong was blurred in the first two seasons of Game of Thrones.
By the third season,the lines became very visible (Lannisters bad-hate them, Starks good-support them)
As for that Red wedding scene, it was too contrived and over the top.It felt like a Shonda Rimes debacle rather than a HBO quality production.

Wow! I think one of the main reasons GoT is considered a great show is its unpredictability.

The earlier seasons initially tended to give it away as a stark vs lanister story like you previously suggested, but I think describing it as that is an unforgivable sin, a great disservice to the job the show runners have done.

Shock factor is a common theme ( trick ) for the writers. The red wedding was just one of them. It is common knowledge most viewers don't want to see their favorite characters perish or turn villain. I'd be more surprise if Robb was still seeking revenge for 5 seasons yet.

So you really only rate season 1&2? I remembered watching season one and I could see it had potential, but I didn't understand all the hype still. Ned's death at the end changed everything though.

At the end, we like what we like and it's all good!

Kaycee7:
My sincerest apologies if you felt insulted. I do try my best to keep discussions civil. All my gripes were directed at that paragraph, not you.

No ill feelings here. We move on.

jelel6:
we cannot only rely on great storylines, brilliant casting and acting, or top-notch production to judge.

@Kaycee7. Apparently, you decided to only acknowledge the above line from that first paragraph. There is nowhere I said we shouldn't judge with those criteria. I tried to provide context for basing my opinions hence the lengthy post. If you still mistake the point then I probably shouldn't say more.

Besides, I think we can discuss respectfully without calling people irrational and insane merely because we have opposing views to theirs

Miggs:
@emboldened You've got it wrong Sir.That title belongs to the HBO masterpiece The Wire

No, Sir ( with respect, of course ). For a series to be crowned the best series ever made, we cannot only rely on great storylines, brilliant casting and acting, or top-notch production to judge. There are many series possessing all this qualities so it will be difficult to justify how a brilliantly made Sci-fi series is any better than a brilliantly made historical drama, or how a crime thriller is any better than a comedy.

In my opinion, I think where GoT blows every other television series out of the picture is its impact on Pop (Popular) Culture. To have done that, you not only have to do what so many other series have done and are doing (The Wire, Band of Brothers, Breaking Bad, etcetera) - which is like the basics since we are talking about all time classics here - But you have to have that little extra bit to be able to influence a whole generation of people through mass media.

Just a little perspective...

I eventually watched Got for the first time around July last year. I was already conversant with series before Got came out. Then, up until last year, I decided not to watch it. ( perhaps, the hysteria and hype when it came out was unprecedented and I decided it was all fuss and no substance ) I don't normally like what most people like in television series. People around me always talked about Got, from the feelers I get, there was nothing special about it and nothing surprising if most people liked it. I mean, Most people like Spartacus and it was easy to transition into Got ( most claim they were similar ) With our poor taste in music, I don't trust bandwagon series fanatics ( I see you flash and Arrow. Na joke oh ) I watched Spartacus(irregularly) too but I wouldn't regret not watching it .
But not you, Oo Got

But for someone like me who spends a lot of time reading anything on the net. The references of Game of Thrones you come across was becoming unbearable. I'm not talking about news site alone here. You see people reference GoT in Music, sports, football, Arts, Politics etc. In fact, I start seeing other TV shows play to the gallery and reference GoT too. Mind you, I wasn't watching it up to this point yet, what about all the other subliminal mentions only GoT fans could decipher?

Like hardmen would say, everybody eventually breaks if you push them hard enough.

So, I eventually decided to watch the damn show since apparently, I was the only one left in the world who hadn't join the bandwagon




I mean, even Donald Trump couldn't resist the urge to follow GoT inspired Pop Culture with his Sanctions Are Coming theme as a prelude to his economic sanctions on Iran

You can't honestly compare other series to Got without taking into consideration the impact each has to the society

Jayloy:
For you to say Wilder is extremely good means you don't know Jack about boxing. In fact, he is an embarrassment to the division. How can you be a champion yet lacks basic skills of boxing, common boxing 101 skills. What has helped Wilder so far is his right hand. He has a powerful right hand, which he uses like a windmill. Imagine him throwing his weight behind that right hand and imagine how powerful it will be. He'll only win Fury if the fight didn't go distance.

The guy you quoted said Wilder is "extremely good", you disagreed, probably because you claim he lacks basic boxing skills. And it will be difficult to justify calling him " extremely good".

But then, you then went ahead and call him an "Embarrassment to the division", how do you justify that?

He may not have face many elite opponents, but he's a champion (undefeated) and that has to count for something. If he's undeserving of his belt, I think that says a lot more about the current state (level) of the heavyweight division than it says about Wilder himself!

Wilder is a good enough boxer. He's not the most technical, or the most classy, or the best strategist. But he's a heavyweight who has that one Punch that could drop any opponent in a match ( probably the hardest puncher in the division ) and that's what has brought him this far.

Something got every other boxer to where they are presently in their careers. And I don't see what's embarrassing about that.

Nova15:
Ok let's hear, which series is better?

Nikita

Sasquatch:
If you mean Max and Eleanor Guthrie, I have to say that only one of them annoyed me, Max's character development was on point, i mean from being a prostitute to her troubled relationship with Eleanor, she finally became Nassau's madam but she did annoy me a lot, i mean her and Eleanor's betrayal was just wicked, i understand Eleanor's but Max's was just cruel, she had a choice unlike Eleanor who didn't

Spoiler Alert!!!! ( I'll try not to give any away though )

I didn't want to be specific because of those who haven't watched yet. Is all out now!

Actually, I actually liked Max's character. My annoyances are with Eleanor's and Mr's Barlor. In fact, not until the third season, I couldn't bring myself to like or identify with any of the characters. I was hard to root for any of them.

I feel they lost the plot with Eleanor. Very rarely do you see a lead character shift standpoint often. When they do, they are likely next on the elimination chamber.

obonujoker:
Arrow
Blind spot
Seal team

All improved for their new seasons

Arrow still dey air? I don't dig all this superhero, vigilante series atal. They are all doomed to lack depth by default. And those guys should stop making them exceed 4-5 seasons. What do I know sha

idreezbaba:
well 2 episodes into black sails now it's not quite exactly what I was looking for but I think it's interesting enough for me to hang on to. I like the setting of the movie though.. that's what's gonna keep me busy for a while now

I understand. I think you'll notice little improvements until the third season. The fourth season is still okay, I just find it a little bit rushed and all over the place. I believe the show runners had to quickly wrapped things up probably because they where told by the Network further renewals ain't possible.

How can we ever get it right in this country the majority of the masses cannot correctly figure out what's the actual problem we face?

Some leaders have now come and distract us with restructuring mantra. Just to shift focus from their horrible performance over the years. Any Governor who doesn't perform now blame it on restructuring.

How does restructuring stop public office holders and administrators from abusing their office?

How does restructuring restructure the brains and hearts of our leaders?

Is it not still Nigerians that'll operate within the same federalism?

So magically, all our problems will automatically vanish just because we practice true federalism?

How does restructuring holds governors accountable if they performed poorly? how does it magically make them perform better?

Most of all, we all know that the average Nigerian is habitually selfish - which to me, is the root of all our problems - so, how for God sake, does restructuring transform selfish men into selfless men? How?

football formations matters little if the players to execute them are mediocre. Man city are not the only team who knows how to play with 4-3-3, it just seems like they're the only ones who always win with it.

reigncalif1:
please am about to watch the chilling adventure of Sabrina of a movie but what am seeing online is discouraging me,
some people said there are too many witches practice on the movie which affects them in there dreams
some even said the movie possess them
who have watched oya come and enlightened me but no SPOILERS please lol

.

HaHa Its not just witch practices I think, more like Dealing with the Devil.

I've watched only 1 episode to see if I would like it. From that so far, maybe they have probably not got into the chilling stuff yet .

I'm just a sucker for brilliant acting performance and can't turndown a series which offer me just that. I'm also aware that Satan and witchcraft are common themes so I know what to expect

If you're not comfortable with anything that'll glorify those topic I'd advise you stay away ( Believe me, trust a highly acclaimed American TV show to portray such topics in a manner to conflict popular beliefs )

I'm surely going to watch it. Besides, Nigerian ritualists ( both in movies and real life ) should scare the shit out of anybody than any Chilling adventures of Sabrina on American Television

idreezbaba:
so I downloaded the last kingdom season one episode one.. I haven't watched it yet I just previewed it. to be honest I don't like all this Vikings shit. I don't even like the characters they use to portray them.. please someone recommen a good village setting series please.. don't make me watch legend of the seeker again

Hmm, try Blacksails.

I just watched season 1 to 4 recently and it's pretty Okay.

Even though I find most of the main characters problematic and annoying, particular two of the female leads.

In fact, I was thrilled when the head of someone was blasted at the top of her voice.

Doctee:
The last kingdom the complete season 3 is out kudos to Netflix

Nice!!!

I now understand how easy it is to brainwash the human reasoning. . This is Absolutely Unbelievable. It is better to reason with a skeptic than someone who'd easily believe anything.

What Nnamdi KANU represents to some people leave me absolutely speechless. I have never witnessed this level of stupidity aroused from a set of people before. I taught they only exist in history books.

jeshrun44:
i have watched seasons of strike back but not all the seasons, this Last ship is just the best bro, you will never regret watching it. the 1st 3 episodes of season 1 may look as if it not going to be interesting but even with that you wont be able to wait until you finish the whole season from 1-5. Every thing is loaded in THE LAST SHIP - war, adventure, survival, loyalty, commitment, respect, trust, betrayal, bravery,zeal, oneness and LEADERSHIP. The NATHAN JAMES never gave up and they always won. this is my best series followed by THE 100.

I actually watched about 3-4 episodes of the last ship and decided the series is not for me. I didn't expect it to improve drastically from there because it is not that kind of show.

Before downloading any series I carefully review it to see if it will be something that's likely to interest me. It was just one of a few shows I couldn't continue with after watching the first five episodes. I couldn't see the potential, average actors and acting, average story, and ultimately, average ratings at best.

that series is clearly OVER HYPE on here. Almost making me want to watch a complete season. Well, that's the beauty of TASTE

Reading the comments here, one can easily see why Nigeria is as it is today.

They claim that the present leaders are monsters but most posters here can't even discuss issues without resorting to name-calling and divisive statements.

Our present generation of leaders are bad. But I'm even more afraid of the next generations of leaders of which most of them are already displaying their lack of civility and class on this thread.

Reddington:
The movie was actually based on Gylian Flynn's Novel "Sharp Objects". She also authored the widely popular "Gone Girl" which was her first work. Read both books about a year and half ago, and both are great novels, although Gone Girl is better by miles! When I saw the "Sharp Objects" trailer, I was like, "well I've read the story" meaning I already what will happen, which is of course a huge spoiler for me. I'm sure you'll find the series interesting!!

I surely did.

I haven't read the book. But I'm sure the show runners wouldn't follow the novel to the letter.

Besides, its one thing reading a story and another watching it play out visually. I believe you'd enjoy it greatly despite your foreknowledge. If not for anything but the fact that the acting was really, really topnotch.

cao:
Even in the Whovian community, that response is hella stale.

Na play I dey oh

cao:
Doctor Who.

Doctor who?

reigncalif1:
lol but is still good, or do you have any other one that are better, if so recommend please

like I said, if you haven't tried The Good Place, you should. I didn't like it myself but I know most people do. You may like it also.

Big Little Lies was released last year and you probably have seen it already. I really liked that one even though it is not your regular Comedy series. There are clever funny moments behind the big story. Just my type.

DayoNiyi:
it gets better. Jason — the dumb guy — is the funniest of the cast. and it's just the 3rd episode, just stick with it, you'll enjoy it eventually.

i

Yeah, probably 3 episodes is too short to conclude. Would try a season and see.

DayoNiyi:
In addition to the Trial and Error someone mentioned you should check out, you call also try Superstore. I find that an ensemble of oddballs usually made a good comedy series.

Okay, thanks. Would try some of em.

Olamyyde:
You didn't like the good place?
That's the best comedy show on tv after atlanta.

Try silicon valley, the office, it's always sunny in Philadelphia, american vandal and atlanta.
Those are some of the best that I've seen

That's what I'm saying, unfortunately.

Thanks for the recommendations
