European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by mbulela: 4:23pm On Sep 03, 2012
Interesting words from Dimitar Berbatov

"I don't think I deserved such treatment at United – not playing in the last year," said Berbatov. "I went more than 10, probably 15, times to ask the coach if they need me. And every time I was told that I'm an important player and should not leave, but then again I was not in the team.

"Maybe I should've gone when he [Ferguson] left me out of the squad for the Champions League final [in 2011]. I know he's the boss, but he has lost, to some extent, my respect because of the way he treated me."
"He [Ferguson] tried to explain to me that the team will be using a more direct style, with more speed but I've never been among the fastest players, I like to hold the ball, this is my style. I found it hard to accept his decision – I still have my dignity. I scored many goals, I won the league two times, and I was the league top scorer, so it's not bad. I'll have no problems playing against United as this already happened in my career. But there's no point to look back again. I said goodbye to the people, who deserve it. I couldn't say goodbye to Ferguson."

I have never seen Barca play so poorly in a very long time. The misplaced passes,the half hearted attempts pressing and the comic defending were worrying.
Pep is beginning to look like the Special One.

debosky: Dembele has potential, but is nowhere as good as is being hyped. . . .at least not yet. Looking good playing in Fulham colours ain't the same as turning out for United.

I'm always wary when pundits want to copy what other teams have in order to win. You don't need to have a Yaya Toure type player in the middle. Utd hasn't had one of those in the past 5 years but won 3 league titles. What you do need is a plan B, when plan A doesn't work, and that's what Yaya T provides. Your plan B will not necessarily be the same as that of Citeh.

A little perspective always helps.
God bless you.
May you walk and never stumble.

Nimshi: doja: interesting post.

Most posters aren't posting African authors; I am having a renewed interest in African authors and hope you'd write some more about these two books.


I find biographies sometimes tedious; a poster above wrote of Bill Clinton's 'My Life'; couldn't get far with this bulky book; perhaps it's just that some familiarity with the subject robs of the enjoyment of reading it. Soyinka's biographies are different though; he explains why . . . But if you have any recommendations, be kind to drop them here


.
I have a recommendation. Autobiography of an African author. you probably do not know much about him so the familiarity issue you raised does not arise.
Sometimes There is a Void: Memoirs of an Outsider by Zakes Mda
very good read,insightful and funny without being less serious. Zakes is a master story teller, so i was not surprised.

coogar: man utd refused to disclose how fletcher went about his recovery. they actually told the media they should refrain from asking so as to allow the player a peace of mind.
only surgery could have brought fletcher back ahead of schedule. remission takes a long-arse while!
If he had the operation i just described above,then no way will Darren be risking his life with professional sport.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by mbulela: 6:01pm On Aug 15, 2012
coogar: a combination of rooney + rvp gives us a slight edge over other teams...
besides, it's an opportunistic acquisition....if the best player in the premier league has a tag of £20m, we should
be putting in a bid to get him. compare to downing, henderson, andy caroll, carzola or hazard and you would see the "true value".
so if Joe Hart becomes available,we will bid for him?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by mbulela: 5:58pm On Aug 15, 2012
coogar: there is....
surgery completely removes any fear of recurrence...



.
Surgery to remove the colon will cure ulcerative colitis and removes the threat of colon cancer. Surgery is usually recommended for patients who have:

Colitis that does not respond to complete medical therapy

Changes in the lining of the colon that are thought to be precancerous

Serious complications such as rupture (perforation) of the colon, severe bleeding (hemorrhage), or toxic megacolon

Most of the time, the entire colon, including the rectum, is removed. Afterwards, patients may need a surgical opening in the abdominal wall (ileostomy), or a procedure that connects the small intestine to the anus to help the patient gain more normal bowel function.

if this is the kind of recovery you have in mind then he has no hope of pursuing a return to professional sport.
I still doubt that Darren has completely recovered. Remission is more like it. Like i said earlier, i wish him the best.

Meanwhile, what is all this RVP craze about?
i have been struggling to understand where he fits in the scheme of things.
Just does not make sense at all.
we need a proper central midfielder to complement Carrick (side eyes Anderson) and a competition for Evra.
I sincerely pray that this RVP thing dies a natural death.

coogar: fletcher has completely recovered from his stomach sickness...
untrue. their is no complete recovery to that ailment according to medical science.
I think he is in remission. I struggle to understand how he can play football at the highest level with that ailment.
I love his tenacity,though.

This is not a Muslim or Christian thing.

I have muslim friends who attend weddings in church regularly.
On of my best friends is a devoted muslim and was scheduled to be a grooms man at my wedding but could not make the trip at the end.
My Christian faith has never been in doubt and i do not agree with the tenets of the Islamic faith,yet our friendship can't be any stronger.

His intelligence has never been in doubt. His ability is the matter at stake. He is fond of speaking plenty grammar and delivering little.

mallam Bolaji Abdullahi speaks way too much grammar for my liking.
The same grammar he spoke during the ABSU rape case, he spoke during the NYSC issue is the same grammar he is speaking in the sports ministry.
I think he should return to journalism. His grammar is too much for my liking. we need action.

Literature › Re: Nonfiction Books: State Your Preference Here by mbulela: 8:07pm On Aug 04, 2012
Until i took an unplanned and disappointing leave from books weeks ago, i just finished reading The Paradox of Choice - Why More Is Less by Barry Schwartz. One of my more favourite titles from the Behavioural Economics genre. Very practical book that left me thinking.
I left Italian Job by Gianluca Vialla /Gabriele Marcotti half way.That was my last read.
Read Dead Aid by Dambisa Moyo a while back . I also read The age of Paradox by Charles Handy a while back and read the first Freakonomics.i felt the 2nd one was just an effort of greed. Abig fan of their podcast by the way.
I am hugely excited about Who Ate all the Pies by John Nicholson,can't wait to get back into the act of reading so i can get down to it.
Recently got How Will You Measure Your Life? by Clayton Christensen [/b]too, i'm a fan of his though their are aspects of his work i do not agree with.
Will have to find a delicate time to read [b]A Life Too Short: The Tragedy of Robert Enke
. Not an easy read i imagine.

Gbawe: Ajimobi must simply get to work immediately. As far as I know, he has done nothing of note to improve the lot of Oyo folks. To then be seen spending State funds frivolously is the heights of insensitive leadership. They should read this guy the riot act and make it clear he must start delivering tangible performance or face the backlash from the people in the near future. Ajimobi has sterling credentials on paper and it is very disappointing this has not being matched by solid performance as a Governor.

4. THE PEOPLE’S REVOLT: I seriously wish and fervently pray that it will not get to the stage of a people’s revolt before positive changes begin to happen in the north and south of Nigeria. Without a doubt, if corruption remains king, violence its deputy, and insecurity the treasurer of the ill-fated status quo Federal Republic of Nigeria, we might as well write the gravestone epitaph today:

“Here lie the remains of a potentially great country whose ruin came because leadership did not give a damn; her filthiness was in her garments, her collapse was awesome, because she did not consider her destiny.”

Ma guys in Chelsea board-room need to smarten up and send Essien and Malouda on free-transfer to China where someone would carry their wages easily like Yakubu, Kanoute, Keita, DD, Anelka and all the African contingent there!
