Pepper Dem gang about to enter premier league


Mr special/chosen one about to sprinkle life to the dull epl this season.... I say dull cuz pep nd klopp don personalize our league...

Make baba come do wahrah for them small... I'm definitely gonna try to watch Tottenham next match...


Team I follow

Liecester my fav team
Liverpool I love klopp
Now Spurs, cuz of mouhrinho...

As for man u, Their matter tire me, I no dey gree watch our match again.... Maybe till we sack ole and sign Victor Sha... The 1-1 with Liverpool was the only match I could manage to watch... My team is downright boring nowadays and very unappealing at the moment...


Teams i can't bare to watch their matches

Man city ( ah just can't)

Barca(last Barca match I watched still had ronaldinho)

Infact any team that has spain as an ingredient Kant me out...

No matter what, EPL can never be the same again with MOURINHO's return because of the absence of SIR ALEX FERGUSON & ARSENE WENGER in truth.

Why don't you like football related settings Anchorage on Spanish ingredients?

For me Though.......

My Number 1 is ARSENAL

I Have soft spot for REAL MADRID over BARCELONA in La LIGA.,..My reason back then and up to date is borne out of anger simply because BARCELONA back then in the early 90's was dominated by the orange boys Players (HOLLAND) and HOLLAND Never dominated WORLD FOOTBALL at any Level

And in the other remaining 3 top flight European Leagues, It's INTER MILAN (maybe because KANU NWANKWO played there before his Heart issue made him switch to ARSENAL), BAYERN MUNICH & PSG respectively.

Despite my allegiance and loyalty to ARSENAL, I don't miss EPL including La LIGA's top clubs' matches.

all of them will still go and collect L in Tokyo

They would collect indeed.

Good morning

Icon4s:
CAF U23 semifinals results:

Egypt 2:0 South Africa
CIV 3:2 Ghana (Penalties)

So it's either of GHANA & SOUTH AFRICA to be sacrificed? Hmmmmn

Provoker:
we don't have any above average natural left back in the SE .....and idowu is not an upgrade to collins

Of course not and that is why I said both of them would continue to sit on the bench hi however, Sometimes, G.ROHR prefers deploying a Left footed player on the LFB position which is why JAMILU sometimes do start ahead of OLA AINA

do4luv14:
investigation indeed , with the worst sport minister giving evidence? What bullshit, DALUNG to give evidence of what he was trying to distory, cos of his failure to dip hands into fifa largness or what?

Then there is the player agent, who bribe his players into our national team, is it because he had fail to get headway with this present nff he is coming to give evidence, evidence of high handyness or what?

As krattose said, its dead on arrival

N.T: the said agent is Emma babayaro himsef

Just try and listen tomorrow. Nothing more. After hearing them out, Then we can argue for or against the outcome.

edi287:
I don't think anyone would say that. How many people complained when Yak and Cele were sent home from AFCON for sneaking girls into their hotel rooms?

Good you remembered this experience of theirs as disciplinary action of that magnitude was taken against them back then.

andrewbaba44:
They are painting him bad bros

Who is the 2 left back in the starting 11?

I want to believe that the provoker was making reference to an earlier Post about my summary of the NIGERIA vs LESOTHO game where I posited my opinion about the players performance as well as making reference to other Players too in relation to those that can be entrusted with the Starting Eleven and bench warmers too

So, In clearing the air over who should start as the preferred Left full back was when I said 2 left full backs cannot start in a first Eleven to mean that both of OLA AINA & JAMILU COLLINS cannot appear together at the same time for one must be on the bench and unfortunately, my preference would be to start OLA AINA ahead of JAMILU COLLINS.

And Even if there are people painting him bad, I want to believe it's because of the high standard that had been set by the likes of CELESTINE BABAYARO, TAIYE TAIWO & IFEANYI UDEZE as predecessors too. So, they might not be blamed for asking him to improve himself and his game.

Was told today that NFF is massively being exposed on a radio reality talk show on human rights radio 101.1
Seem all the corrupt practices are being spilled by people that know and have evidences.
The investigation continues 2moro

Yes and it continues tomorrow. With CAF & FIFA to be involved via phone call live with former Minister of Sports- SOLOMON DALUNG to be in attendance as part of the Valid Evidence crew members

Provoker:
My verdict on jamiu Collins is that the guy isn't as bad as people here painted him... he may not be at his best this season but he is average and definitely not below
There is a reason Norwich wanted to sign him
And let's not be quick to write him off because he isn't a fan favorite

Another issue is the Moses Simon one
The guy isn't getting the accolades he deserves cos he isn't a fan favorite and he can't be dropped because he is on form and he is our first choice crosser....we saw it against South Africa and one another occasion were he crossed the ball for the goal at the same afcon.....and again most people here trying to discredit him on his assist against Brazil
His the only naija player with an hattrick this season and yet if chuks scores a goal, we know how we react
Is Moses Simon still valuable to the team, yes.
Am not saying you shouldn't have a favorite but pls don't don't discredit or rubbish any player cos you don't like them

We haven't played to the strength of onuachu even tho I prefer another player to him but how many games as he played for us to warrant we not wanting him?

My opinion

We need to be patient with our players. God bless the super eagles, God bless Nigeria

Oga nobody is painting JAMILU COLLINS bad or something but the Truth is-You cannot play 2 left full backs in a starting Eleven and so, He drops to the bench. After all, You equally admitted him to be average

About SIMON, IWOBI has proven again time without number that Club form or display does not necessarily translate to National Team success.

ONUACHU is another example of the opposite of IWOBI just like SIMON has been not in terms of Scoring Goals because they do not play in the same positional set up but in terms of National Team delivery and output given their number of caps already which equally doesn't imply that they have played the same number of Matches though but their degrees of Impact when on the field of play

Thanks and of course patient is virtue. But again, Some Players would always be on the bench since the number can never exceed 11

isan:
Madagascar just tearing Niger apart in their own backyard 6-2

Forget it Brother. Those guys are good no doubt and should we meet again, They would still be a hard nut to crack indeed except If UZOHO returned before we meet again

oloriooko:
Which kind evil suggestion from the pit of hell is this? If Wilf cannot get a spot at Pool it's better he stays put under Rogers who is a better coach than Una

UNAI EMERY's problem has been that of Team selection and of all the Players at ARSENAL playing the same role as WILFRED NDIDI, No one measures up to standard because NDIDI is more like a PATRICK VIERA of those days.

Besides his stats in the EPL measures up perfectly at present and that would make him slot in immediately most especially now that GRANIT XHAKA is being Linked with a move to NEWCASTLE UNITED in January window

TORREIRA is also thinking of moving away from the Emirates as well. And more money it shall be for WILFRED certainly.

Koboko99:
Where did oga Kbs468 go to?
Noticed he has not been present.
Didn't see any comments on yesterday's match from him.

Thanks Brother. I was unavoidably absent though as you must have read already.

The SUPER EAGLES actually did put up an Unbelievably credible, fantastically tantalizing, overwhelmingly dominant, humonguosly superb superlative display in MASERU-LESOTHO on sunday irrespective of the fact that they are originally never our class-fit

Because We dont normaly see through our various AFRICAN QUALIFIERS easily before now or before the coming of G. ROHR and interestingly, The end result wore another CAP on ROHR indeed as I cant particularly remember the last time any NIGERIAN TEAM scored 4 goals away from Nigeria in truth.

Analytically, I only saw the reason why

1. MOSES SIMON would only continue to come off the bench as against making a starting Eleven though

2. ALEX IWOBI would alway be available & continue to make the starting eleven because of his consistent (Though sometimes could be epileptic & annoying ) display for Nigeria as against his club output

3. SAMUEL KALU could flourish in a Number 10 position just like he had confessed it to be one of his prefered positions or continue to bench SIMON in the left wing position

4.JOE ARIBO has come to stay in the middle of the pack. Although he had a relatively quiet evening on the day but that not withstanding for that is only just his 4th match for the SE.

AWAZIEM is not be blame for LESOTHO's second Goal. Though he could have done better by being aware of his environment and allow the ball pass him for a posible good job done by the goalkeeper behind him.

OLA AINA should continue to feature on the left full back ahead of JAMILU COLLINS &
IDOWU but We all know that that wouldnt be the case as ROHR sometimes prefer a natural left footed being on that department of a left full back.

VICTOR OSIMHEN could possibly break the RASHIDI's aged-long Nigeria's National Talisman Record just like he predicted and sets as a personal target for himself

No doubt, NDIDI, EKONG, AJAYI & CHUKWUEZE deserves their places in the stsrting Eleven and there is still room for improvement.

Thanks once again for reminding me about this viewpoint diligently.

lexyman:
What do u guys Think about Jorgen Klinsman as the technical coach of the Super EAGLES ?


He made history with the US team at the world cup .

they played with so much energy .



just thinking that Rohr combination with this guy can give us the world cup if Nff think in this direction .... we have got the talents only need to harness them .


to me ROHR need a more technical assistant that understood the scientific aspect of the game ... its not about parking the buss when its not necessary ....this attitude has cost us in the past

The question is can we afford both of them at a go? Ofcourse Not practically but yes theoritically.

So I would say, let Jorgen Klinsman come on board after the expiration of ROHR's New contract - A renewed contract that should run upto the end of 2022 World Cup. Period.

Samueltemi337:
It was omeruo... he played for the U17

Ok Thanks Brother.

darkelf:
Oga, Omeruo was in the U-17 team that lost to Switzerland in the final in Lagos. That team had Ramon Azeez, Sani Emmanuel and Stanley Okoro (aka Little Messi ).

Ok Thats a good one. I never knew he was part the Team though untill now.

Thanks for the info. It should be him then because Sani Emmanuel and Onazi are pure street boys

Eligreat247:
Unfortunately there's no time but they have promised to start the case afresh tomorrow (the program starts 7:40am - 10:00am monday-friday).....
Its going to be a full fledged case, so many people are going to be invited. The ordinary President also promised to bring CAF & FIFA into the case.
Please lets get tuned and know what is really going on in the glass house.

Yes you are right and the fraud case actually began yesterday with the introduction of former Junior Teams coach-JAMES PETERS followed by EMMANUEL BABAYARO & TUNDE ADERIBIGBE-Former NFF's Assistant Secretary General and the minute taker for several years right from SANI LULU & GALADIMA era.

Its interesting honestly because it involves FIFA's money to Nigeria that those before PINNICK refused to collect for a potential high yield that this present NFF Administration collected and embezzled fraudulently

Its Monday all through to saturday actually beginning from 7:30 am.


Watch today's episode on Brekete Tv on Youtube. Its 2hrs 30 minutes 17 seconds

You can stream live on youtube from 7:30 tomorrow morning for the Immediate past minister of Sports - SOLOMON DALUNG would also be in the studio

Samueltemi337:
?

Onazi I suppose but not really because what I could only recall is his supperlative performance in the world cup along side the highest goal scorer - Shehu Sani Emmanuel (Where is he now? Only God knows) as the players from TB Joshua's My People FC football club of Lagos.

Somehow somehow, there was joy and celebration at the synagogue for their feet.

IHEANACHO was as described by Safarigirl above

OMERUO? I dont think he made it to U 17 level too

KAYODE? I dont even know anything about him

Odunayaw:
Not so. The match was 4-6pm so there was time to still go back and watch the SE if it were showing.

Very well but above all, That crowd is not weekly scenery.

Though I am quite familiar with Jos and how crazy they are in relation to the local clubs around especially Plateau United and Mighty Jets among others too owing to the fact that some of the Nigeria's National Team players - Both past and present used to done their colours.

Above all, It was a very very impressive outing indeed

Danielnino00:
FIFA ranking points aren't generated like that o... no b 3 points for a win and 1 for a loss like normal football match...
Friendly matches carry less weight than competitive games and organised tournaments.. the strength of the team we face also matter...

Yes you are very correct but i only used that anology for simplicity sake because the oppositions for both teams - Tunisia and Nigeria are way way below in the ranking and thus no significant points would be accumulated within the month of November when the formula is applied.

Besides, The reason for embolding the points difference as well as the assertion of a not less than 4 matches winning streak with an opposite loss for Nigeria are meant to emphasize the difficulty in upstaging Tunisia presently.

Its just like how i tried to clarify my earlier post to darkelf above too.

jieta:
Well! I believe these is how you understand the FIFA ranking to be and you are not the only one. When we defeated Argentina everybody was happy and we where hoping that we will move up ward, of course we did move up ward but not as we expected some people where kind of been inquisitive that's when icon4 brought up this same analogy with a formular which FIFA use. You can check the website if the formular is still there because the Last time i did it was still there.


But my concern is that these systems don't apply to big teams when there play smaller teams. When we participated in the last AFCON we played seven matches won five lose two if you do the maths our point would have been 9 taking consideration of the two lost but at the end of the tournament we gain more than twenty points so is kind of confusing

You are very correct about the reference to icon4s' submission sometime back even when I wasn't available here as at then because in truth there is actually a definite formula for calculating the points

But I only did the direct calculation reference earlier for

1. Simplicity sake

2. Because after the october 24th edition of the ranking, only 2 matches have been place

3. With Nigeria being ranked 35th against Benin (ranked 82nd) & Lesotho (ranked 138th) compared to Tunisia's (ranked 29th ) matches against Libya (ranked 103rd) & Equatorial Guinea (ranked 135)

So, the points to be garnered even when the formula is applied would be insignificant towards displacing Tunisia from the second position presently because both oppositions are way way below

Kbs468:
Wikipedia actually calculated VICTOR OSIMHEN's International Caps correctly as 9 but failed in it Matches breakdown report as can be seen below...........(Later)

Because Wikipedia failed to report OSIMHEN's participation in both of the NIGERIA vs SOUTH AFRICA & NIGERIA vs ZIMBABWE friendlies and that would have been 7 in total as against the 9 being documented.......


Wrongly again, OSIMHEN's participation in the U 23 game vs LIBYA U 23 return leg Qualifiers where he scored a hat trick following his drafting from the SUPER EAGLES (after trailing 2:0 in the first leg) was equally recorded as part of his CAP rankings which shouldn't have been the case.

In the end, it should have been 8 by their records-The penultimate statement above not withstanding- But it wasn't the case. Instead, 9 was acknowledged.


Likewise, Transfer markt also failed to register His game against ZIMBABWE from the above and thus correct with their 8 Matches documentation but Completely Wrong in genuity.


In general, I personally rates Our Players (SUPER EAGLES Players) based on their overall output on the field of play as witnessed by myself rather than relying on some perceived stats though because

1. Statistics/data being supplied are prone or subject to errors

2. Some players have proven time without number to be superbly better off with the SUPER EAGLES than the weekly Club outings (for those seeing game time) already in terms of output even with the limited Matches at the international level as against Club career opportunities.

Osimhen was named to the squad of the Nigeria under-17 team that won the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile, where Osimhen won the Golden Boot and Silver Ball awards.[23][24] His performances also earned him the CAF Youth Player of the Year award in 2015.[25] Osimhen made his senior debut for Nigeria in a 3–0 friendly win over Togo on 1 June 2017.[26]

Osimhen missed out on Nigeria's 2018 FIFA World Cup campaign after his inconsistent season at Wolfsburg.[15] Following a successful start to his loan spell at Charleroi, he was recalled by Gernot Rohr for the November 2018 international break,[27] starting their friendly win over Uganda.[17]

In March 2019, Osimhen was released from the Super Eagles squad to represent the Nigerian U23 side as they were two goals down against their Libyan opponent. He scored three goals in the return match against Libya in Asaba.[28]

Osimhen was listed in coach Gernot Rohr's 25-man provisional list for 2019 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Egypt[29] and was further listed in the final list for the tournament.[30][31] In the match for third place, he replaced the injured Odion Ighalo at half-time in the team's 1–0 victory over Tunisia.[32] He played a total of 45 mins at the tournament[33]

On 14 August 2019, the coach of the Nigerian National Team, Gernot Rohr, invited Osimhen for a friendly against Ukraine, that was played on 10 September 2019 in Dnipro Arena, Ukraine which ended in a 2-2 draw.[34] He was also included in the Super Eagles team to face Brazil in a friendly match in Singapore on 13 October 2019. [35]

Waiting for FIFA rankings..

Even if it comes out in the next 5 months, NIGERIA would still remain 3rd in AFRICA because as at present, 11 points is the gap with TUNISIA having a game in hand today.

All in all, TUNISIA needs to lose 4 consecutive matches with NIGERIA winning its before we can upstage them.

Very impressive turn out indeed and it further affirm our previous claim of the Northern local clubs supportership supremacy over the southern Nigeria's display accordingly.

I want to believe though that that massive turn out had to do with the absence of the NIGERIA'S SUPER EAGLES' live telecast dissappointment on the indigenous Media outlets Sha.

Credit must also go to DrLikita12 as well because she had already posted a screenshot of the massive experience here too upon which I couldn't reply immediately following my predicament back then.

darkelf:
You can't be too sure.

Afobear is also a known troll yet he is a proper Igbo guy

Yes Chriskel had already pointed out that to me as well.

Thanks all the same

jieta:
Our team is better than that Tunisia team. We defeat them in the AFCON i don't know why we have not leapfrog them in FIFA ranking.

Yes it's because the accumulated points for NIGERIA in FIFA grade A Matches Post TUNISIA and AFCON hasn't been significant enough to have over taken them seriously.

For example, Our Post EGYPT 2019 AFCON Matches against BRAZIL and UKRAINE could only fetch us just 2 points following the 1:1 & 2:2 Draws respectively.

Hence our accumulation of FIFA'S 1481 points in total against TUNISIA's 1495 points as at 24/10/2019 - The 14 points margin -wouldn't be over-turned soonest

Because an additional 6 points from NIGERIA vs BENIN REPUBLIC & LESOTHO individually is not enough to do so bearing in mind that TUNISIA has also garnered 3 points already against LIBYA after a 4:1 Victory on November 15th

While also having the potential of another 3 or 1 point later today when they take on EQUATORIAL GUINEA

seankafor:
nothing still spoil bro.

We go still win them tomorrow and bounce out same night tomorrow.
Lesotho isn't any threat at all

Indeed LESOTHO turned out to never be a threat after all.

Thus leaving ROHR to create an away success record with 4 premium goals

ChrisKels:
Gustav is a Nigerian. In fact he is an animalia. A full time animal with a long tail that walks dangerously without jamming catastrophe. He is so much made, I presume Bkus kpokponkiosly, he once fired my coconut here. That said, his keske in here is lyka dat of a mosquito perching on the big bagco bag of Elderson Echiejile



Don't bother breaking ur head trying to comprehend that write up, he and some others already understand

okay na

ChrisKels:
I will only agree with the bolded Bkus;

1 - We no longer have Ighalo to blunt our attack with his lack of mobility and anywhere belle face type of football

2 - That -1 called SiMoses doesn't start no more, neither does Musa (all pace and no brain as a winger though deadly as striker in a 3-5-2 setting)

3 - Rohr seems to av finally realised that Collins is a true calamity

4 - Yes of course, we now have the KOC!! Wicked attacking trident.

Very well said and indeed Cogent in all ramifications

safarigirl:
I mean, I see their appeal for a teenage girl. I used to think Odemwingie was the finest creature to don the green and white jersey, but then, I was thirteen and still thought of pink lips as a criteria for good looks

I'm not saying they aren't good-looking in their own rights, but better looking than Awaziem, Ajayi and Dennis? Nah. Even if we were talking lightskin, mixed kids, Ekong ought to get a look in over Odemwingie at least.

I give up!

It's a no contest by me already for only Women knows that which they really want in a man as I believe DrLikita12 would undoubtedly agree with the submission in bold here

edi287:

Okay but certainly not a NIGERIAN either because for my little stay in here already, Gustav85 has been more or less a Troll to the SUPER EAGLES undoubtedly
