Baba you need to understand something. Swiss Division 3 is a developed league that can produce formidable teams that will even beat the best in our top flight league.

Feelers from Eagles camp suggest Leon Balogun is sluggish and has been a shadow of his old self in training. There are strong indications he might not be getting automatic starting shirt in Russia.

Unai Emery sees massive potential in Arsenal youngsters Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Alex Iwobi


Pre-season cannot come soon enough for Unai Emery following his appointment as Arsene Wenger’s successor.

The 46-year-old impressed in his opening press conference as Arsenal manager and, with formalities now out of the way, work must begin on bolstering the squad he has inherited at the Emirates.

While Emery praised the ‘talent’ of his new players, there’s no doubt that the Gunners will be busy this summer, with the defence and midfield in dire need of reinforcements.

Chief executive Ivan Gazidis gave a glowing account of Emery’s performance during the interview process and has now highlighted the Spaniard’s forensic attention to detail.

It was Emery’s impeccable knowledge of every aspect of Arsenal Football Club and, in particular, his detailed analysis of youngsters such as Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Alex Iwobi which caught Gazidis’ attention.

‘What was really impressive was when you scratched the surface to go deeper and deeper and deeper,’ he told Arsenal’s official website.

‘If we were speaking about one of our young players, if we targeted Ainsley Maitland-Niles for example, Unai knows Ainsley.

‘He’s watched him, he’s familiar with his patterns of play, his capabilities, he’s very excited about his potential and was able to talk about how excited he was to work with Ainsley, to develop him as a player.

‘Very specifically, when you asked the follow-up question and the follow-up question and the follow-up question, you’d get more and more depth about how exactly he would do that, exactly how him and his team would work with an individual player to develop them into the best player they can possibly be and also within the team dynamic.

‘There are a lot of platitudes in the game of football, a lot, and people can speak at a surface level very easily to sound confident and impressive.

‘What’s impressive to me is when you scratch through that and you get deeply involved in what exactly they mean.’

According to The Times, Emery’s camp are also looking closely at Iwobi ahead of the 2018/19 campaign.

It’s claimed that coaches in Spain were taken aback by the Nigerian’s performance against Barcelona in 2016 and saw enormous potential.

At the time, Iwobi was yet to even make his full Premier League debut but produced an assured performance in Arsenal’s 3-1 defeat at the Nou Camp.

While Iwobi is yet to fulfill that early potential, Emery is confident that he can get the best out of the 22-year-old.

Emery highlighted Arsenal’s rich history of producing youngsters following his unveiling.

‘I’ve never seen anything handed out for free in football,’ he said.

‘And in terms of Arsenal and their history, the young players have always earned those opportunities.’

Taribo: Eagles’ Defenders Lack Tactics To Stop Messi, But Team Can Surprise The World In Russia


 5 May 27, 2018


By Bamidele Boluwaji:

“We don’t have the kind of defenders that can mark out Messi for 90 minutes and that will make it difficult for the Super Eagles. My advice is that they should not concentrate too much on him. During my playing days, you need just one player that will mark him out and throughout 90 minutes, there won’t be breathing space for him.”

a team and remain focused,” he said.

*KAWU BARAJE'S nPDP AND ITS UNENDING NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT*

By Abiodun Lawal

Nigerians are ingenious and hardworking people but their efforts have not yielded much dividends because of greedy politicians whose main goal is to milk the country dry for personal aggrandizement. But like the saying goes "no sinner will go unpunished". And so, the enemies of Nigeria have started making mistakes which has reduced them to an object of national embarrassment and ridicule.

The beginning of their waterloo began about two weeks ago when the Kawu Baraje's faction of the APC under the aegis of nPDP, issued a 7-day ultimatum to the president to meet with them and address their grievances.

However, if the group had done their political calculations well, they wouldn't have made such a suicidal move without consultation and due consideration for the consequences of their actions.

But what do you expect from a group of people who do not have a mind of their own? Its not an hidden secret that the plan was orchestrated by their thin-god, Dr. Bukola Saraki and implemented by bunch of sycophants who are Saraki's bootlickers.

However, their plan boomeranged when a faction of the defunct nPDP who are loyal to President Muhammadu Buhari within the Kwara state chapter of the APC, disassociated themselves from the 7-day ultimatum to the president and also exposed Bukola Saraki's high handedness in Kwara state.

As if that was not enough, the Sen. Abdullahi Adamu’s group also exposed the evil intentions of the Baraje group.

Arising from the controversies which trailed Baraje's 7-day ultimatum to the President, he quickly backpedalled and stated that his group did not issue an ultimatum to the president.

As part of their face saving tactics, Baraje and his group pleaded with the Dep. National Chairman of the APC, Sen. Shuaibu Lawal to meet with them; and after the meeting, Baraje issued a press release stating that the APC leadership acknowledges the nPDP grievances as genuine.

With this kind of assertion, one will be forced to ask what grievances Baraje and his group are actually referring to because they are twice as guilty, especially in Kwara State where Kawu Baraje comes from.

I guess they deliberately forgot to mention the factors which culminated in the conduct of parallel congresses in Kwara state which was well attended by aggrieved APC stalwarts in the state. They also forgot to state that what they are accusing the President Muhammadu Buhari's administration of is actually what they are practising at home.

The Bukola Saraki led APC in Kwara state is terribly guilty of Nepotism and favouritism, and this is responsible for the division within the Kwara state chapter of the APC.

It will interest the whole world to know that the APC in Kwara state has been factionalised into Bukola Saraki faction and the Buhari/Osibanjo faction. The faction loyal to Buhari/Osinbajo have been doing everything humanly possible to project the good image of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to the world and this has earned them the contempt of the other faction who are desperate for power.

For how long will this impunity be to allowed to thrive? The APC leadership must be mindful of this political saboteurs who are hell bent on destroying the party before their exodus to another party.

They have done it before and history will repeat itself if no stringent measure in deployed to curtail the excesses of the nPDP group within the APC.

A Concerned Kwaran.

who takes kawu baraje serious? a man that encouraged his teen daughter to be sleeping with saraki's father just for percunary gains.

Uzoho’s RC Deportivo Fabril Draw At Home, Out Of Promotion Race; Chukwueze’s Villarreal Reach 2nd Round
May 27, 2018 12:47 am


Francis Uzoho’s RC Deportivo Fabril – the reserve team of Deportivo La Corina, missed a chance to gain promotion to the Spanish second division from the third tier Segunda B despite winning 3-2 in the second leg of their promotion play-offs clash against Extremadura on Saturday, reports Completesportsnigeria.com.

Uzoho missed the encounter due to international assignment with Nigeria’s Super Eagles. RC Deportivo Fabril and Extremadura ended it 4-4 on aggregate, but the latter advanced with higher away goals, having won the first leg 2-1.

Giovanni Zarfino gave Extremadura a fifth minute lead but a 12th minute strike by Uxío Da Pena restored parity for the hosts, RC Deportivo Fabril.

Edu Expósito doubled the lead for RC Deportivo Fabril in the 21st minute before Emilio Lucas made it 3-1 in extra time. Álex Barrera scored a consolation for Extremadura in the 107th minute of the defeat.

Uzoho who is out of contract at Deportivo La Coruna kept 16 clean sheets and conceding 21 goals in 28 appearances.

Meanwhile, Samuel Chukwueze’s Villarreal Team B advanced to the second round of the promotion pla-yoffs on a 3-3 aggregate despite losing 2-0 to Athletic Bilbao B in the second leg played on Saturday.

First half goals from Gorka Guruzeta and Manuel López were not enough to secure a next place in the next round for Athletic Bilbao B.

Seen some of their training clips but I can not make a conclusion one way or the other. The keeping position is still wide open.

It is better that we lose 6-0 RDC than get any player injures...not even Lokosa[he is not going to w/c] getting injured

tbaba1234:
It is not a blogger.

Did the NFF carry out an inspection visit to this venue before they agreed to have the game there?

This kind of pitch can even cause injuries.

I'm waiting for it

Luckyroro:
Pls disregard any rumour making the rounds about Sallah being ruled out of the World Cup. I had to stay awake to follow Skysports report on his shoulder development. Preliminary tests shows its not severe. Their report suggests he could be out for a fortnight not missing the World Cup. This is a confirmed report from the hospital now, I started with Supersports 3 when Klopp said he doesn't know his situation at the time but he knows he was taken to the hospital. I had to switch to Skysports cos they had a reporter monitoring proceedings. Pls Seun and his moderators should confirm news stories first before pushing it to Frontpage. Good morning!

Bunch of liars.

I thought it was reported here by Sir Kog45 that feelers from camp indicate that Joel Obi should raise is his game as his performance was below expectation now comes ANS saying Obi was the star for team B.

Mikel could do that. Ndidi will buzz around doing the dirty work while Iwobi does damage in the final 3rd
