Yeah yeah yeah see how Solanke moi moi respond to my dissing.

He just slapped me in the face and scored his first goal in the EPL after 38 games and two seasons he has scored.

And to add salt to injury Leicester most important defender and key to thier success at the back Soyuncu sent off.

This game is crazy, against all odd and my earlier prediction Bournemouth could win this one.

Shocking

Bournemouth get a penalty Ndidi yellow carded.

However, against the run of play Bournemouth are impotent. Even with that penalty l can not still see Bournemouth winning this game.

Somebody is finishing KC have they not seen moi moi Solanke.

Subzero047:
Is that an Iheanacho assist?

More of a shambolic defensive school boy error that Vardy like razor sharp blade took advantage of.

Bournemouth absolutely deserve to be relegated because they are poor and if the don't improve when they get relegated by next season they will be in league one.

Eizzy003:
Just imagine small piking of 12 years

Very very much doubt it.

He is a minor and he cannot be legally sanctioned so he is taking the responsibility for some other related adults actions.

I mean it could be true but very unlikely.

A good test is too see how old the account is and the general rhetoric associated with the account.

NewDelhi:
Oga forget it, if you watch Abraham well, you'd see that the guy isn't a top striker. He just happens to be in a little bit of form coupled with Chelsea attacking football. If he was under a Conte or mou, he would have suffered. That guy contributes absolutely nothing. I've never really rated him. Abraham will need about 7 clear chances to score one goal, he can't score a goal out of nothing, he can't beat a player, he can't hold the ball and maintain possession, he no get shot, finishing na 1½ star � out of 5. He can't fight off defenders, positioning na zero, header na wayo. Abeg weytin una see for that guy sef.

So how has he been able to score 14 goals in the EPL and counting, l guess it's just incredible luck according to you.

That same luck enabled him to be a top goal scorer in the Championship and right from youth football at Chelsea.

He must be the luckiest striker ever no ability whatsoever but keeps scoring.

I like that kind of striker

NewDelhi:
I'm not saying greenwood is better or good. Only telling you Abraham isn't worth any praise.

So who is worthy of praise according to you.

seankafor:
why would bearhino fight his employees tryna force a move?

WBA are not a club of integrity what they say in public and what actually happened are two different things.

They did the same with Osaze.

Why did they enter into negotiations with Tottenham if they knew they were not sincere.

There were conflicting signals from different high placed club official. Pulis wanted him to stay but the club wanted to sell.

But Berahino waa still filled with youthful exuberance and not wise.

The first post ever made on this thread. Read it again and reorganize yourself please

Pot calling the kettle black.

It's like having a seminar organised by APC and PDP on how to mitigate against corruption. Thats the embodiment of Hypocrisy.

bidex111:
It sounds like coined word to you; because you’re there type and Birds of the same feather !
Guys like you should have used the same energy you complained here on the forum has if it’s the official armies handle.
Am not saying the present military hierarchy is perfect, why are you guys coming out now to scrutinize them. Where were guys when things are far worst, We know guys like you will hail Jonathan and praise the likes of Iherinjeka and Minimah !

You are loosing credibility and certainly neutrality when matters of the military in Nigeria is concerned.

I had initially speculated but not any longer you are essential a mouthpiece for Armed forces propaganda. Probably paid as well.

There are some who by open discussion seek solutions by discourse you in contrast however, are part of the PROBLEM.

Ihejirika was .....

We don't have good weapons

Comments from people, many of whom are average O'level certificate holders..... sorry o, i did not mention anyone.

When you come out with such hostility to denounce and denigrate those with opposing views to your own

You by implication ascribe knowledge and competence to yourself. In this regard what gives you such competency to dismiss views here.

Hennynitan:
You making it sound so convincing that you are in Maiduguri. You go like beer o ! Enjoy your Maiduguri

You guys have also turned this platform to GEJ vs Buhari.

One group that supports the army are pro Buhari, while the other that castigate the army are pro GEJ

Having been the recipient of abuse by many on this thread.

I wonder what group they have classed me.

Because l am none of the above.

Nigerians: How low can you stoop?
Nigerian Army: Yes

Please forgive my ignorance but what is exactly happening here it looks like a book launching but by who.

hunter21:
Yes "Nigeria army" has become a cult, they keep doing the same thing over and over again and achieving the same result,

amongst the principles of war there are:
-Flexibility
-concentration of power
But NA is not using any of these

Countries whose GDP is not up to that of Nigeria are maintaining armies of about 500,000 men because they understand that security comes first. If the Nigerian economy is properly taxed we can get enough revenue for this.
Without "security" there won't be any "economy" in the first place.
So why not do things properly so that we can have proper results

For instance those people in Lagos that call themselves NURTW, the money they collect from bus drivers alone can pay soldiers salary, but does that money even get to the government? No,

During the lock down in USA when they started looting in Hollywood, California, The government sent in the National Guard and not police.

Look at how much has been SUPPOSEDLY spent on the Army in procurement and then look at what we have to show for it.

Look at the head of EFCC and what's happening and that tell you our main problem since the inception of the nation is CORRUPTION.

seankafor:
but iwobi didn't want to leave arsenal?
It was arsenal that wanted to cash in on the big money Everton splashed

Thers why l said, " lf you have the choice "

It was apparent that Arsenal no longer considered him valuable and could not believe the money Everton were offering £34 million is not baked beans. They could not refuse.

But don't forget Iwobi would have made £4 million more or less depending on his contract clauses, straight to his bank account.

He is young and therefore will sign a long term contract at least 4 years. That sets him up for life financially.

Football can be very unpredictable and you can be rising star one season and a falling star the next.

I remember Berahino Dude was shining like the Northern star he was 20 years old and had scored 14 goals in the EPL. Tottenham put in a £25+ million pound well publicised bid.

WBA refused to let him go it got so bad Pulis treated him like he was a leper he ostracised l think he was close to a mental breakdown.

That physiological torture left him with permanent scars, he has never recovered and he is only still relatively young at 26 now. Released from Stoke he went to Belguim.

Players need sincere guidance went it comes bro transfer or I can turn into misery if you are not mentally resilient.

seankafor:
I pity our boy iwobi

This is a problem with some players but mostly African players.

Money is not everything career progression and development should be a priority as well if you have the choice.

You should look at the style of play and philosophy and ask can you fit in to the team and prosper.

I remember Dembele when he was at Celtic he declined a move to Chelsea for that reason. But also there were multiple EPL teams that he ignored in favour of going to Celtic to work under Brendon.

That's why l think Victor Osimhen quest to go to Manchester United and Arsenal is ill advised.

Watching Everton getting a comprehensive football lesson in on the deck technical football by Wolves.

Everton are struggling playing kick and rush because they can't put 3/4 passes together.

Moise Keane is moi moi this is not Seria A small boy is totally out of his depth.

Ooh yeah a goal bullets shot from the left by Jota it seems.

Iwobi is not finding it easy either, Everton are not the kind of team that suits him IMO.

Oh it's 3 - 0 to Wolves

Danielnino00:
According to reports on social media, Tammy broke down in the dressing room after Lampard called him "a championship player"

Komekn, how far na..
When do Lampard become so emotionally biased?
How dare he relegate Tammy to the same level you placed Osimhen some years back? If Lampard doesn't hear it from you, I go vex for you o

First of all I don't have any power to relegate anybody, All I can do is make deductions from observations.

Wolfsburg sent Osimhen back to the youth academy not me, Wolfsburg made the decision that he wasn't good enough AT THAT TIME.

So has Tega been sent to the academy, has Tega been benched, is he no longer starting, why is Chelsea offering Tega contract extension, who is the highest goal scorer in Chelsea with 14 EPL goals?

Can you substantiate your claim in the bold and or who reported it to you.

And explained how Tega had been placed on the same level that Victor was on some years back please.

Danielnino00:
Assuming you are a Liverpool fan, you would know that there are plans in place for Gerrard to take over when Klopp leaves..

Same way Barca want Xavi to take over..
FYI, Gerrard and Klopp extended their contracts with Ranger and Liverpool respectively almost at the same time..and their current contracts will expire almost at the same time..

That's not exactly true.

That's the emotions of fans not the calculated management decision of the board and directors.

It's a consideration that will be entirely hinged upon perfomance and achievement by Gerard for now he is not in the discussion.

Meanwhile Klopp is here to stay for some time. He has brought in wholescale change to Liverpool from the academy to the first team.

He has even rid the club of the issues of institutional racism although I give more credit for that to Alex.

But the training approach has changed with a new philosophy that can be seen from the U10's all the way to the first team.

Klopp is no longer just a manager but almost an institution just like Wenger was to Arsenal.

Finally, he is very nice, fair and down to earth God fearing and compassionate guy.

Championship is really hotting up the competition is that tight.

One of the biggest games WBA will play will be against Fulham next week. So it will be Tega against Seyi. Tega is showing dominance he has gone from bench warmer to first midfielder on the team sheet. It's taken time but my initial projections are now becoming apparent.

The Championship is intensely competitive anybody can beat anybody at any time. And all those automatic promotion spots can be lost.

Leeds play Swansea and that will not be easy. Both teams have everything to play for and both are footballing sides.

I think that Swansea might just shade it with a 2-1 win.

When I said top leagues, I meant leagues that are followed statistic aggregate sites, not Scotland or Belgium or serbia
Sir, which players are supposed to be here?

You had players from Turkish league that in my opinion is not a top league.

Utonwanne:
Funny Michail Antonio has higher goal ratio in EPL is much higher than when he was in Championship...

Things dae occur

Michail is a baller but does not get much recognition. He plays as a Striker, Winger and even RB.

Championship is great training ground to prepare you for the EPL.

Dele Alli scored more goals in the EPL than he did in English league one. Things dae occur.

Kalatium:
With the current rise in cases of rape in Nigeria, it calls for the ammendment of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Anytime i hear the news i feel tragic, owing to the fact that a randy rascal will commit such atrocity to another human just for instant gratification.

Some suggest that castration is the best solution to curb the menace(the Governor Nasiru Ahmad El-Rufai has agreed to this). If this will eliminate rape cases so be it.

However, i have an issue with those who falsely accuse men of rape. I have seen it over and over where ladies cook up stories just to get back on an ex after a sour relationship.

I think something needs to be done to these perpetrators. They need to serve jail terms for misleading others. I know of a lady that frame an Ex for rape only for it to be discovered that she lied and nothing was done to her. This will give her the audacity to try it on another or encourage someone to do it. If the guy had not been lucky he will be in prison for what he never did.

While i was on Nairaland i saw a thread where guys narrate stories of how they were falsely Accused of rape.

This is why Nigerian constitution will have to be reviewed and amended

I know a Premiership footballer that was accused of rape by a very calculating and scheming girl. He was absolutely innocent but the cost of defending the allegation would cost him £millions.

The time it takes to go court, you will be suspended from the club pending investigation and the case outcome, expensive lawyers to defend you will get up to £500k.

Then you loose commercial endorsements as well as your reputation. If your not careful all the femininist groups will join the bandwagon and you become bad news.

So my friend paid her and got her to sign a non disclosure agreement. It cost him just over £100k to pay the cold-hearted **** off.

In the scheme of things this seemed to be the best option.

The price to fight for your right could cost you you're life. False rape allegations is now big business.

Players have learned their lessons at least th wise ones. It may seem voyeuristic but the wise ones now have cctv and other hidden camera in their houses.

andrewbaba44:
Mitrovic Walk Into any epl team ?

You are talking in the rubbish and nonsense

You think Mitrovic is happy playing in the championship ?

Absolutely yes, playing for Fulham he knows once he gets to the EPL he can quadruple his wages. Patience is a virtue.

Not all players jump at the appearance of £££ you must be strategic.

Many years ago l talked about a 18 year old Moussa Dembele here, who was at Fulham and I was given the usual negativity and bias claim . He left Fulham to Celtic a few months later during the January transfer window Chelsea offered £50 million he declined. He was looking at long term progression.

He has since gone to Lyon French league and has been outstanding for past two seasons in the top 5 goal scorers. He will be moving soon let's see. Funny his goal ratio is much has higher in the French league than when he was in the Championship.

Fulham was offered £30 million by Liverpool for Ryan Ssegnon he refused, opting to develop further.

There is a long list of players who have done similar.

I have watched Mitrovic and he will absolutely undoubtedly contend for as a striker in any top EPL team. My position remains the same.

I have a good relationship with Fulham and l can tell you for now he is not for sale many clubs have enquired but the answer is capital NO.

FieldMarshall06:
So we should read all this abi,,, you sef na boko typist

You don't examine the facts or do you seek knowledge. You have a narrative and irrespective of the information that questions your narrative.

You take a confrontational stance against rational based and sincere views. And then you abuse and denigrate the contributors.

You think if l shout the loudest, l win the arguement. You are being very misguided that's not patriotism.

In my opinion you are a sycophantic apologist almost part of the NA propaganda machine.

ugo4u:
Customs, Immigration, Police, Civil defence and other supporting paramilitary agencies should be massively deployed and properly equipped to man the very porous borders and the communities around esp in the north that is where the real work lies, not in the airports or seaports where they become over night millionaires. The army is highly overstretched and stressed to elastic limit, the NA should only be concerned with advancing, dislodging terrorists and not holding grounds this is where paramilitary organisations should fit in.
These paramilitary outfits should conduct massive recruitment for this reason, atleast govt in one hand will improve border security, while creating employment for the teeming youths wandering about doing nothing.

Agreed without reservation or question.

First of all three is a long standing hangover from military rule. That hangover that was birthed from mistrust and indeed the quest of the army airforce and navy to hold on to political power.

The police have always been closer to civilian and they have more manpower. So there was concerted action to downgrade and limit the power and capacity of the police so they cannot contend with the army or neutralise any attempt to prevent a coup.

I was expected a Jonathan Goodluck to know this but he did not think strategically. Former General will keep the status quo.

In Iraq it was the Federal police who were right in the forefront of the battle for Mosul.

The police are more often than not fighting with criminals who are on par with them with regards to weaponry. In general all the police have are AK47's. Criminals gave upgraded but we have not upgraded the police.

In this regard l would immediately restructure the Nigerian mobile police. You are probably taking about 30,000 personal ( guess work) in the Mobil police.

In addition l will stop Mobile police doing guard duty for politicians and manning road blocks, etc.

It will not take a huge amount of retraining. It's the equipment they should have. Immediately procure 1500 assorted armoured vehicles. They will be given 30,000 new assault rifles with optic sights as standard, grenade launchers, 50 Cal. sniper rifles, LMG, paper body armour, Rpg7's, heavy motorised precision mortars.

The mobile police will hold territory and ensure that we have completed control. Then the army has to be more focused on search and destroy not REPEL and wait for Boko to return.

At the moment from the way Boko Haram are able to carry out ambushes it loos like they are laying seige on our Forward bases.

As soon as combatants leave the safety of the base they are easy targets. So Boko at literally controlling the surrounding territory and we are sitting in our super camp bases it seems.

With regards to Boko Haram having pre warning or better intelligence, l doubt it.

I have never seen or had a first hand report of what happens or the modus operandi of Boko in carrying out ambushes.

But from what l have seen l can make a quasi informed deduction of what actually is going on. We know the NA is never going to give us that detail that will not show them in the best light.

One of the first things l noticed by the NA is a notion that there is great strength in numbers, seems we move in large 50 vehicle convoys.

Possibly with a few MRAP's taking a frontal positions. And the vast majority of vehicles probably 80% are soft skinned.

Next thing l notice we follow the same routes time and time again. That means you don't need any prior notice you just need patience. They will be waiting knowing the NA will use this road regularly.

Third thing it seems, we don't have a clear offensive contingency plan to mitigate against ambushes.

Finally, once the convoy gets hit l suspect more probable is a point ambush. Then pandemonium sinks it and everybody keeps going and leave behind those that get hit. Some obviously leave thier vehicles and run through the bush to find safety. Complete chaos and confusion.

I'll leave my assumptive projection here to see what people have experienced and or if my projections are Balderdash.
