You see for this life
I hate cheating, oppression and I don't care attitude
Wengay have all these attributes, he cheated the fans and lied to us no money yet this man rock most expensive tux in the dugout
He oppressed the fans too and also threaten them, he made enemies with the club legends cos they spoke the truth.
This man was a dictator you become his enemy if you go against his will.
What kind of life is that,he used his hand destroy all he built by himself

Lol... I swear. It was he who built arsenal but wen he had power and influence at the club he used his hand to destroy arsenal. I hated how he took fans for a ride, stubbornly made us a laughing stock and brought us steadily spiralling downwards.

Exonerate1:
never been a fan of Ziyech even when we signed him. Hazard only problem is injuries if we can minimize those injuries, he'd impact more games for us than Ziyech will ever dream of.

Like I said, a loan won't be bad not that 34mil I'm seeing cus we can just get Raphinha with that fee

And you think it's easy to minimize the injury of a 30yr old player when he's not a youngster? I laugh.

If na even say una wan buy another correct player, that one dey understandable, but hazard? Like this hazard, even if na loan no be am. Except of course una wan increase him pension duration

I watched USA 94 and I remember Nigeria vs Bulgaria was in the middle of the night like 2AM, Same with Nigeria vs Greece cos I had to sneak out of Secondary school hostel to watch it, Nigeria vs Argentina and Nigeria vs Italy were in the evening around 7PM

See the time for Nigeria vs Bulgaria below. Other games were played late too and people stayed up to watch

Yeah... I know Nigerians will wake up to watch Nigerian matches, that's very normal.

I'm talking about let's say the quarter final matches or any match not pertaining Nigeria, do most Nigerians wake up in the night to watch them?

Exonerate1:
Hazard on loan won't be bad abeg.. He can't be worse than what we've seen with Ziyech

same Ziyech you guys was already raving about before he got his injury in supercup for hazard who just played only five 90min matches since his move to Madrid?

Lol

raumdeuter:
USA is in a similar timezone with Brazil If time zone is why they are not watching Copa America, why are they watching world cups in Brazil and USA

A few ofNigerias group games were at night Nigerian time

I know I didn't watch 94 world cup so I won't know the time it was averagely played(but the way my elder brothers talked about it, it seems the time didn't fall around 12am or sort), but Brazil 2014 world cup was played starting around 5pm to 7pm range(ends around 9pm). That's great for Nigeria and even Europeans to watch if I'm not mistaken.

Now same Brazil who hosted WC 2014 and their match was originally 5pm and 7pm Nigerian time hosted Copa 2019 and the time in Nigerian time was around 1am, 2am or 3am in the wee hours of the morning wen Nigerians (and I'm sure most Europeans too) are sleeping. Even this just concluded copa Argentina won, same time.

How then do you think someone like me or Patrick.muf to follow it the way this year's euros was followed bumper to bumper?

Havertz10:
I don't have strength for plenty back and forth with sentimental people

I have one question, if hazard was excelling at Madrid, would he even consider returning to Chelsea now?

We haven't even talked about his wages, or how his presence will disrupt players that are young and still thriving, signing lukaku was stupid, signing hazard would be stupidity in magnitudes not seen since the death of Jim Jones.

popizaino:
He is 30yrs, those that are younger aren't doing better, he is always injured, those who are not injured with us can give his minimum performance. Until those we have begin to give good account of themselves, we will continue to clamour for hazard's return .

You're writing off players who have big potential to appreciate over a player who is depreciating? Wonderful!

Another surprise is that you're still looking at hazard with the eyes of 2-3 years ago when he's not it. Let's even forget his stint with Madrid recently sef, how is this present hazard in Belgium's team? If you think you'll get 2018 hazard now, then have a rethink.

afrodoc2:
Your enemy wan buy poison you dey warn am.

Na out of surprise sef I type am

I just dey hope say Marina no see my post

popizaino:
If you agree with me that he can't be worse than the four players I mentioned earlier then I don't think bringing him back will be bad as your painting it. We heard all sort of stories concerning fabregas before joining us from Barcelona and he was still able to give us three good years of top quality football so what makes you think hazard will not fare better? What about Deco?

Lol... Fabregas didn't serve rubbish at barca and he wasn't continuously injured. Deco too was seemed surplus to requirement at barca not that he dropped form.

Hazard dropped form, is continuously injured and he's 30yrs if I'm not wrong and is 100 yards below the hazard we all know. I'm even surprised some Chelsea fans are even thinking or hoping for his reunion sef. If to say he's not getting game time, that would have been a different case entirely

iamoyindamola:
wengay is the devil

Lol... E be like say you really dislike Wenger pass me oo

BlueRayDick:
It makes no sense signing any of these players mentioned except u want to bring back Arsene Wenger and we will content making top 4 all over again for years till the players mature to bigger stars and bigger clubs come to take them......We will practically go back to the years of winning fourphy

True sha... We need experience young ballerz

macjireh:
If Mendy were white or at least a French player,,d story would be different

So many whites where excluded from that list and black who doesn't deserve being there were there.

I even regretted agreeing to the racism ish self cos I typed too fast without thinking it through unlike me

ObaIgwe1:
I don't know how to explain this so you can understand.

What happened to Usmanov is plainly boardroom politics of "bad-belle". Not that Usmanov was not willing or aggressive to takeover Arsenal.

I think SK should thank Dein for his fortune. It is a case of few of highly rated shareholders are hell bent on going the opposite direction of Dein. When Dein first brought SK, they all rejected him, called him all sorts of names and swore never to sell to him. Then Dein was removed, and he decided to bring Usmanov thinking 1, he would be more acceptable to the board and capable of taking over Arsenal. And 2, When Usmanov take over, he will be brought back to Arsenal and the board to continue what he loved doing. On that note he sold his shares to Usmanov.

As at of this time both SK and Usmanov were at par to taking over.

But the board was wiser (actually more foolish) they saw what Dein was after and refused to sell to Usmanov, rather went back to their vomit and welcomed SK, brought him to the board and from there the American quietly started buying them off. Usmanov had no chance because he was dealing with 2 main shareholders (Nina Smith and Fiszman) who will never sell to him no matter his offer....maybe for their hatred for Dein who they never wanted back at Arsenal. These two actually handed over Arsenal to SK.

When Usmanov saw he had no chance especially after his 1billion offer to SK was rejected, he sold off his shares to SK cos it doesn't worth keeping them after so many years wait. Remember he was NEVER made a part of Arsenal board.

Today they all regretted selling to SK. which means it was politics of "bad-belle" that made then sell to SK. I will blame Nina and Fiszman with Wenger for Arsenal misfortune. Nina and Fiszman hatred for Dein and Wenger hatred for Usmanov, because Usmanov was heavily criticizing Wenger and the board after Dein left. Usmanov was against selling some of our key players and wanted Arsenal go the way of Chelsea which was a threat to Wenger's position then. That gang-up was what stopped Usmanov and not that he was slow or unwilling.

Spy360, if this wan no convince you to see our reasons, nothing will esp the bolded.

Spy360:
Barca nor get good players again o apart from three or four. I stand to be corrected sha.

Barca get better players o.
Pedri, Fati, depay, Gavi, Puig. All these ones na correct players o and they all young minus depay

Spy360:
Both of them at a time were competing for the shares. But while SK was offering better deals Usmanov was star gazing. Despite that most of the shareholders felt Kroenke isn't right in that he wasn't a football fan, yet he bought them over including Usmanov himself.

You're sure about this?

iamoyindamola:
Martinez have a shot too
He was overlooked, Pickford also

Lol.... I've forgotten Martinez self. Thar list na trash!!

raumdeuter:
Is African Mendy different from European Mendy? They are both black. You can say the Balon being a voting thing has always been prone to prejudice

Characteristics of a polling booth award

Goalkeepers are not usually favoured in these type of polling booth awards, Only Donarumma made it into the list of 30 and was named the best player at the Euro

I am sure there are keepers who did better than many outfield players on that 30man list

Polling both na polling booth

Well, true talk. Agree with you totally

raumdeuter:
So you dont think its racist to have Sterling in it?

Compared to African Mendy?? There's always a lesser devil

raumdeuter:
What stance changed o?

I have always maintained that Copa is the equivalent of Euros just like AFCON Concacaf Oceania nations cup

They are not equal in quality

Its not the fault of players who are born in South America or Africa but its still doesnt make it equal

You talked about big trophies in 2018 and you mentioned WC and UCL then proceeded to euros/copa (note the slash you put).

What changed that copa was a big trophy and standing alongside euros in 2018 but in 2021 it's now a tier below it?

popizaino:
What if he was talking about his position as a defender in general having to work their ass off on the pitch and still get overlooked for most awards?

Well he referenced Mendy before saying those words so we know he was referring to Mendy in that context

raumdeuter:
Do you think Sterling deserves a spot in the list given that he is not even a regular for his club

Sterling doesn't deserve a spot. He's one of the 5 names I was referring about

AnfieldFan:
Well, he was indecisive when he got the ball, gave the defenders time to recover and bear on him. However, the defenders were still behind him when he took his shot..
Maybe, had he scored that goal, the match would have been theirs...

Yeah... Esp the bolded is true. But one thing I do know is that chances like that can be missed and everyone will not to remember it but critical chances like the one higuain had will always be remembered cos such chances are easier to score.

See Aiyegbeni 2010 miss for example, till now Nigerians are still blaming him for our elimination in the group stage even tho he was among the scorers that day. Funny thing is that Martins missed a very good chance too but people rarely talked about that cos of how glorious Big Yak own was(2m away from an empty net) plus that goal would have carried us to the next round

macjireh:
Racism will Neva end in D's wicked world...Unfortunately d bolded is very true...it takes a black man double effort to prove he's better than a white man

Lol... I hate using that racism card for any small thing, but you see this issue, I can't complain.

Mendy not in that list is absolute nonsense. There are up to 5 names that can be scrapped in favor of Mendy

raumdeuter:
Have you read where Mexico also send their under aged team to the Copa just for the senior team to focus on something else

Mexico is a concacaf team not a copa team na(correct me if I'm wrong), so it might clash with their own schedule and they don't owe copa anything


I'm talking of a copa team that sends inferior squad or players to the competition

devvy44:
But if ronaldo had scored against a team like Iceland, you guys will quickly compare them to the like of Bolivia then proceed to list out the profession of those players


Rest

Lol.. The person's post you quoted didn't even talk about Ronaldo scoring against lowly team or sort na.
Perhaps you're carrying preconceived beef and lashing it out on the wrong post.

Just calm down chief

devvy44:
Argentina couldn’t beat an Iceland team that made their debut in the last World Cup, so much for “European teams are farmers”

it happens. Even reigning champions France lost against debutant Senegal in world cup

Now wey barca don broke, no be to buy some of their correct players offer dem correct contract? But we don go mismanage ourselves

nihilistjnr:
Omo this is how I know this beef is everlasting.

These nigga literally reversed their stances and are still arguing with each other

Omo eh..
Na only legends fit do such

raumdeuter:
You already mentioned it Brazil the biggest country in South America chose to disrespect the tournament and you want others to respect it

I am asking you if Madrid start sending Castilla pupils to CL what will you think of it

Lol.. It's not only by brazil that's the biggest na. Argentina nko. If brazil chose to disrespect it, you think it'll concern others, wen they're vying for same trophy?

If e like let Madrid send castilla, as long as Bayern barca man u Chelsea et al sends their big team, nobody go send Madrid.

raumdeuter:
Both tournaments in USA and Brazil Nigeria was out by 2nd round yet many Nigerians watched till the final,. How many people even knew there was a Copa going on this summer

it's still same thing na. Nigeria in that competition was the x-factor and even the viewership will reduce after our elimination coupled with the fact it's a world cup

Do you think Nigeria will wake up by 2am to be watching euros consistently the way this passed euros was watched?

raumdeuter:
Is it about watching or about quality? People wait for 2yrs for next season of Game of Thrones, Ayamatanga and Papa Ajasco but Copa America you dont need to wait its available on demand. Just turn on your TV there is a Copa going on

When world cup was in USA and Brazil in the same timezone people stayed up to watch, but when its Copa we start earing about timezone difference, what other excuse wont we hear, Patrick is going to tell us its because of eclipse of the sun and wind

Na now you answer my question. You think it's not because Nigeria participated in said world cup that's why people are watching. You think Nigerians will wake up around 2am to watch Germany vs France match even if it's euros? Except final or sort or Nigeria is playing will you see few people wake up to watch such a match as such hour.

Now I even get their reason why they're even inviting other continental nations sef. It's to boost viewership

So yes, it's about watching. No how Brazil vs Uruguay wants to play and with the kind of players each country have that someone wouldn't want to watch, but once it's at such hour(middle of the night), that's a turn off

raumdeuter:
The same way you cannot tell Salah or Pulisic to test themselves at the Euros it still doesnt take away that their continental competition is inferior

This already puts a dent on the tournament. Imagine if Real Madrid is sending Castilla to some seasons of the Champions league

Like I said, can you show me any recognized copa country in the last 20yrs who sends inferior squad to participate in copa tournament?
