Up Tottenham! Go and sink this red devil. I support two clubs and they are Liverpool and any club that win Manchester disunited.

UrchmanBiz:
Haha.. currently, their pattern of play has changed since the appointment of Mark Hughes as the manager

They still play their rubby style of football
Stoke city are terrible at home.

If you play stoke city in Britannia stadium , two things will materialise. it is either you win them but get at least two of your key players injured or they make life difficult for you due to their physical style of play. Those potters are terrible

It definitely gonna be a tough match

Match preview

Brendan Rodgers believes his Liverpool side can bounce back from their “incredible” 6-1 defeat at Stoke City, on the final day of last season, when they start the new campaign visit the Britannia Stadium this Sunday.

Liverpool were beaten by Stoke City in May as a campaign that promised much for the 2013-14 runners-up ended in a heavy defeat.

Much has changed at Anfield since then, with Steven Gerrard and Raheem Sterling leaving and the likes of Christian Benteke, Roberto Firmino and James Milner arriving.

Rodgers has also overhauled his backroom staff over the close-season, and the Northern Irishman believes his new-look team are ready for their second successive Barclays Premier League match at the Britannia Stadium.

"We'll certainly be better than we were last year that's for sure," Rodgers said on Friday.

"It was a one-off game in terms of the whole experience, it was incredible in every aspect. It's something that was very surprising and very disappointing.

"We'll look to return to the level we've had over a couple of season in organisation and fight. It will certainly be tougher [for Stoke] than it was last year.

"When the fixtures came out I felt we couldn't have had a better fixture, for me it was the perfect away fixture."

Stoke manager Mark Hughes, meanwhile, believes his side can give Liverpool just as much of a test as they did in May.

"Liverpool have made a number of signings and strengthened up. They will come here feeling they are better equipped to deal with us," he said.

"We feel we can be even stronger than we were last time. All being well we will give Liverpool the same problems they had in May."

Stoke too have added attacking options to their ranks with the signings of Joselu and Ibrahim Affelay, while Glen Johnson could line up against his former club.

Hughes will be without skipper Ryan Shawcross, though, with the centre-back set to undergo surgery on his back.

Marc Wilson may have been in line to partner Philipp Wollscheid in Shawcross' absence but he has been struck down with an ankle injury, so Marc Muniesa looks set to celebrate his new four-year contract - signed on Friday - with a start.

Stoke City (from): Butland, Haugaard, Given, Bardsley, Cameron, Johnson, Muniesa, Pieters, Teixeira, Wilkinson, Wilson, Wollscheid, Adam, Afellay, Ireland, Moha, Shenton, Sidwell, Van Ginkel, Whelan, Arnautovic, Bojan, Crouch, Diouf, Joselu, Odemwingie, Walters

Liverpool (from): Bogdan, Mignolet, Clyne, Jose Enrique, Gomez, Lovren, Moreno, Sakho, Skrtel, Toure, Can, Henderson, Lallana, Lucas, Markovic, Milner, Balotelli, Benteke, Borini, Coutinho, Firmino, Ibe, Ings, Origi.

I intend to write November diet skill level .. My goal is to decimate Financial report and other subject will bow. So help me God.

Hackomania:
Hello OP,

If I'm allowed to say something about this, I'll tell you two stories.

1. I was in an audit firm (on the Island) with unrivaled job security, but no career growth in sight. I was a one-man-army IT "manager" with no boss and no subordinate. An opportunity arose for a 1-year internship in an IOC (farther into the Island) with NO hope of extension or regularization.
Considerations
The Internship had a staff bus benefit attached - transport costs go down by 98%
The audit firm was very secure job - I was doing so well they fired my boss (but they retained my "office assistant" position)
My job was more of support, and I wasn't involved in real operational processes (think of an IT Manager in an indigenous Audit firm with zero dependency on automation and/or technology applications), meaning I cannot "matter" in the direct operations - support staff typically get less consideration in promotions and all.
The "popularity" of the IOC was a factor (e.g. Comparing an internship with CBN with a job in an MFB).
The internship wasn't an "in-my-career" job, but the opportunity to make an impact in a big and well-known place, was just too salivating to let go.

Summary of story, I quit the job, took the internship, enjoyed myself, and six months into the internship, I got a job in an LOC. The audit job wouldn't have given me the opportunity to attend the numerous interviews that was needed, but my bosses in the IOC were fully behind me in getting the job (even wrote me letters of recommendation)

I know that the only explanation to this story is God's inexplicable grace, and that your path may be different from the guy in scenario 1; in fact in scenario 2, I am still doing that internship and begging for at least an extension.

Sorry I can't go over scenario 2, I'm out of time as I'm now typing on the expressway (living dangerously hehehe), but lesson here is:

Don't be driven by the money, but by
1. The opportunity to take a bigger challenge
2. The opportunity to advance your career
3. The opportunity to rack up a more intimidating resume

Warm regards,
KCE

P.S. These are true life stories

epic

I appreciate all the reply so far and forgive me for all my grammatical blunders . I think I will stay in my six month old job. Thank you all folks.

My fear : Accept the new job and what if contract isn't renewed ? Back to Labour market ?

Thanks all ! This ia really a systematic risk#

I have only worked in the audit firm for 6months.

artisticallyart:
Congratulations! On your new job Luvola despite the fact I wasn't informed to share in the celebration. Audit firm opens your eye to the real accounting job plus it makes you sit well in any job. I would suggest you spend a considerable amount of years(at least 2-3yrs) before moving to another job.
The other Job is based on performance and you have to be on top at almost every time in order to be retained. No excuse for not getting result, you can't be lax and you have to be clinical in all assignment.
My take, Audit job is what took me where I am today despite the fact that I did not spend a year in the audit firm.
Finally, ask experienced hands when it comes to things like this.... You either choose career or money.

Thanks sir. 2 - 1 .. It was an internal recruitment via a close dude. With respect to audit e experience, I only know little because I still have a long way to go.

obinna2nv:
Omo no go!! another opportunity worth it might still come around..

1 - 1

Transport cost of the new job is estimated to be #10,500 while d former is 4500 base on monthly estimate.

Tycike:
Take the job and challenge yourself.

0 - 1 ..No reasonable assurance that job may be retain that is the risk inherent currently.

Currently in an audit firm (A permanent job ) earning X amount of salary and it on the mainland. New opportunity materialized for accounting officer role ( To initiate payment processes to the end ) in VI and the pay is 53% morethan the former but it a six months contract job base on performance . I.e You may be retain base perform by finance account head and if you do not perform ,contract end.


Should he continue with the present job or take the new one.. N.B He is a bsc accounting graduate

Lasu is currently the defending champion of the 1st inter school debate on nairaland therefore some of these elements ranting should keep shut.

Enahi:
@op this your story is very dry. Seems u want Nairaland guys to know u have big butt,do you know how many ladies on Nairaland have big butt? I pity you,your topic will make all Nairaland guys to disturb and insult you.

This is not fair ! Not even a reply

A lose for united will spell a doom for them since Liverpool are trailing them. The battle for top 4 race has begun.

sherryshitt:
I bet he's the pastor of your church

I sent u a reply. cheers

mine is Enahi. reason is she is cute but she isn't seeing the break light i am given her.

By sending cv via online only , this is just a defensive tactics. . You are like porto defending against bayern Munich in the UEFA champions league. .. If Porto had attack bayern , they would have qualify for semi final. Go on all out attack to firms and submit Hard copy CV.. Visit firms , meet managers and submit Your Hard copy CVs.. I finished Nysc june 2013 with my 2.1 thinking I will get job .. I keep sending CVs online till August 2014 when I vowed to attacking style of taking my hunt to the door step of Firms. I got an in a small audit firm which happen to me my course of study though the pay isn't much but I accepted it for experience sake which I know will be beneficial later.

My dear op , adopt bayern Munich ,real Madrid attacking style and visit coys and submit hard copy. I am still job hunting too for better pay.
